"...And you too young man. I'm happy to finally meet you Jack. I hope you had fun together." Smiling at him after a quick glance at her lover, Dolores didn't make a move to go to him which made him relaxed.

"Yes ma'am. We did." Mackenzie put her arm around his shoulder smiling at him proudly before kissing his forehead. For his age he wasn't that big.

"Can you believe that I thought my heart would popped out of my chest! We did endless roller coaster like forever! He laughed at me the entire time!"

Nudging her with his shoulder his eyes wide opened he turned to her.

"If you wasn't a chicken it wouldn't have been that way, those kind of activities are made to get you relaxed. And please don't lie to yourself you liked it!"

"Okay I plead guilty. BUT eleven times it considered as huh.. what is the word?"

One of her hand in the air thinking she looked at everyone questioningly, to finally settled her eyes on the young boy who was now smiling freely her diversion working perfectly.

"You are searching for a word??  Wait I have a list of words: fun, amusement, happiness and wait! JOY? Yeah that's the word." He was clearly in a bubble only her could enter to make it easier for the others.

"Ahaah you know me too well my boy." 

Kissing his forehead another time she took his hand turning them to the women.

"Love meet two great women this one's Dolores is my friend and the other is Aurora her mother this is her house, you can call them like that. I wanted you to stay with us here for the rest of the holidays if you want my boy, whatever you decide I will follow." Everytime he would hear ' my boy ' come out of her mouth the young teen smile got bigger and bigger with a raw happiness coming out of him making him look the image of happiness just like the one use on TV for advertising the perfect american family.

After looking at her for a moment he turned his head back to the audience a huge smile on.

"Happy to meet you  Dolores and Aurora it's a real pleasure." His hand up  he never left the other hand that was still hooked on what seemed to be his rock though.

Laughing at his manners Dolores shook his hand and kissed his forehead just as her mother did before her.

"It is our pleasure Jack and the young lady who looks like Mackenzie." Aurora words  reminded her daughter that she didn't present the teenager.

"OH God! Mom this pretty lady here is Manuella. But I prefer Ella."

"Hello Aurora." Smiling at her the older mother looked between her and Mackenzie shaking her head she already love her.

"Hi princess, how about we go in the kitchen the others are there waiting you two to eat the cake I cooked."

Looking eagerly at Mackenzie Jack had a nod in return which made him squealed exited to go under the women amusement.

"The kitchen is the second door at the left you can't miss it." He disappeared before she even finished making them laughed.

"Is he on drugs? No one can be this happy." Trailing behind Manuella asked accentuating the women smiles

"No Ella he is not, he just really like cookies you know like really like them with chocolate cream and vanilla. And ... I'm certain that when you put him with Leo and Elena two minutes and you could find that it's finished"

"Ok I have to go then." Running behind him she let them laughing at her.

"They're funny." In a happy mood Aurora said suppressing her laugh it wasn't everyday she laughed as she already did since the morning.

"And she is right Jack is shooted on happiness. You know how to do that dear. I will go there to put you some aside. I'm sure they could actually make all the cookies and the cake disappear. But I will leave Jack a big part."

"Thanks Aurora, I want him to be relaxed around you guys. You will see tomorrow it will be like you are long lost relatives he can be intoxicating when he gets to know people though."

"Don't worry about that my love, we can deal with it. I prefer a clingy Jack to a fearful one." Smiling to her brunette Dolores kissed her lips not minding her mother who walked in with a tender smile at their sight.

Going through her big living room she looked around happy to have all of that she always lived like that to know that someone tried to take what she and her daughter worked hard to have infuriated her. Trying was the only thing they did, they will see what will come on them. For the time being she entered the kitchen her eyes locking in Ella, a smile immediately relaxed her face at her sight. She was literally another mackenzie she could pamper, it was like another part of herself, as if they were related. That feeling she didn't want to get rid of, so she smiled back warmly.

"You made it on time I can see, Princess."
Nodding she engulfed a good portion of cookies in her mouth, at least she had nothing to worry with her height she was as thin as her sister.

"Yes! Can you believe it? It's thanks to Cris who put some aside for me, Kenzie and Lores. Those three are monsters eaters." Pouting she glared at the three culprits who sat there as angels eyeing her like they didn't knew what she was talking about.

"Kenzie would say language Ella! Humans aren't monsters. Plus monsters eaters don't even exist. Don't be late the next time." Elena counterattack made everyone laughed suprised by her stance she sounded like Mackenzie herself.

"That is my girl!" Taking her in her arms after they entered the kitchen Mackenzie did sliding her plate near her sister.

"I did warned her. Two minutes is what it took." Eating her sister and lores cookies Ella growled being a sore loser.

"Next time everyone will have the same amount OR yours will be out the bowl  " At aurora words Manuella smiled happily relieved, she was kinda like her sister a slow eater.

"Thanks Aurora. It's not my fault if I can't swallow as you." Her attempts to send daggers at the others finished in a grimace that looked much like one of
'The Mask ' which made everyone laughed at her.

"Jeez! I'm trying to be serious guys!"

"My dear Ella ' trying' being the key word, that is not even relevant." Crossing his hand on his chest Jack said smiling his left brow up. Growling at him Manuella shrugged it off while the others children agreed smiling at their bickering.

He clearly had his mark already, crossing her daughter stare Aurora leaned on the countertop happy.

Seating near Makenzie Dolores took her left hand in her right one making them fit together under the table on her thigh.
Taking small spoon of cake with her left hand. Her surrounding appeased her as she wandered her gaze around, her eyes  met someone she didn't thought she would have to deal with before the end of the year, which cause her body to slightly tense immediately growing mackenzie worry attention to her.
