The group hung out watching tv until the rest of the group showed up, and Alexis introduced them all to Will. He had kept his composure until he saw Ethan. Apparently, Will had been watching Ethan for several years and he was his Comfort Streamer.

When Ethan found this out, he stuck closer to Will. Alexis was happy that Will liked all her friends, she was worried that maybe he wouldn't. It's hard to get used to having 'famous' friends, and Alexis had basically thrown Will into it, but he was taking it really well.

Will spent most of the day talking to Ethan, which was fine with Alexis, she had spent most of the day preparing dinner in the kitchen. Alexis decided to cook a Turkey. (or food of your choice if you don't like/don't eat meat) She'd never actually had time, nor friends, to cook a Turkey for, so it was a learning experience for her.

She put Turkey into the oven around 1 pm, on low, and started making the side dishes. She remembered her mom used to make Yorkshire Pudding. (if you've never had it, I highly recommend making it, it's really good) She pulled up a recipe online and started on it. It wasn't as difficult as she always thought it was to make.

When she put the uncooked pudding into the second oven, she started on canned goods. Just as she began preparing, Sean walked into the room and watched her from the corner of the room. She didn't say anything, instead continued running through the kitchen in an attempt for everything to be done on time with the Turkey.

Finally, after leaning up against the island for a solid five minutes without saying anything, Sean spoke up. "You look very natural in here."

She paused for a moment, glancing over at him. She continued with the food, shrugging. "Well, it is my kitchen."

"No! You know what I mean." He chuckled, turning to her behind the island.

"I don't, actually." She laughed, covering her mouth with the back of her arm.

"Do you ever want kids?"

She choked, coughing for several seconds before regaining her composure. "What? What is it with you people and kids?" She chuckled, looking down at the counter. "I seem to be the only person here who doesn't constantly think about kids." She sighed, turning to look at him. "Why? Do you?"

"I mean... Yeah. When Eve and I are ready to."

"You plan to marry her, Sean?" He smiled, a small blush rising to his face. She smiled, chuckling. "Question answered." He laughed, walking over to her.

"I'm sorry for bringing it up, it seems to be a sensitive topic for you."

"It's not. I just... I don't know." She paused. "Sorry. I shouldn't have snapped like that." Sean said nothing, so she sighed. "One day. One day I'll have kids. But, I'm too young."

"I get that. Sometimes I wonder if I'm too old to have kids."

"You're only thirty-four. You still have a few years. Plus, there's always adoption."

The two of them continued to talk about the future, about the life they wanted to have. They both wanted a different life as a child, but they were happy with the life they got. Sean wanted to stay in Ireland, marry a nice girl, have kids, settle down. Alexis wanted to travel the world. She never wanted to settle down, but her views on her life had changed over the last year.
