Hi! So, I've just found out that there are people out there who are French (I don't know how to say this) so, special dedications to them, I LOVE PARIS!

*Though, keep in mind that I've never been there before.

Zayn and Selena smartened themselves up as much as they could; they were pretty nervous to meet Nick and Joe's dad, knowing that he was a very strict man. Selena breathed freely once she debated with Zayn that whoever has the nerve to take a guy like Nick as a favorite son, should not be feared at all.

They gathered in the living room, the middle section of the house on the ground floor, and sat around the, to Selena's surprise, small tea table.

Mr. Jonas still had not recovered from being all worried about Nick and Joe. He hadn't even blamed them for not looking at the boarding pass and the airplane's name, which would be what every dad would blabber about.

Nick and Joe, however, needed the verge to try and forget about their father's secret. They could not forget his words in the meeting room, just days ago.

"Thank you, Raine," said Mr. Jonas, taking the tea tray from the woman. He set it on the table and took a cup out. He eyed Selena and Zayn as he drank form the cup. Selena sat leg-crossed, beady eyed.

Zayn, however, was fidgeting way too much. Nick had to stomp on his foot to make him stop wiggling his toes. Joe took a cup as well, sensing the tension in the room, as he took a sip. Nick handed the rest to Selena and Zayn, keeping one for himself.

Mr Jonas put the cup down, "Ah, so. What have you been up to in Paris?" he asked Nick and Joe looking at the so attentively now as if they were the only two person in the room.

Nick fidgeted, "We, er, visited some places..." he glanced at Joe, who was staring at the ceiling.

Mr Jonas started to speak again, "Have you seen the Louvre? For the tenth time?" he added, with a chuckle. The boys laughed along to his joke and Joe nodded, telling him about the cool sculptures they had seen, of course, the last nine times, since they certainly have NOT been to the Louvre.

They've never seen their dad THIS jolly, usually, he'd be lecturing them about ready books about microbiology and Sophistication in the world of science- Technology, to be exact, then, he'd tell them about how they would need to be ready for the 'Outside World' and blah blah blah-

"So, I didn't know you were supposed to come here," Nick said testily. Joe choked on his tea, not expecting Nick to reach the whole thing so fast. Mr Jonas did not say anything, instead, he reached for his cup again.

He looked at his youngest son and drained the cup, gesturing for Raine to fill it up again.

Selena was watching his motions very carefully; she seamed to have skilled up in physics and motion signs. She can tell Mr Jonas was very nervous, he was scared to know that Nick and Joe had found out about his suspicions.

Joe decided to add salt to the wound, "Well, I didn't recall you telling us that you were coming here either," he said, his tone just as testifying as his brother's. "I mean, not that I care, but you usually tell us everything."

BAM! Done, Mr Jonas choked on the tea, and worrisome flashed across Nick's face.

Mr Jonas put down the cup and Raine scurried over, "Are you okay, Hosea?" she asked, wiping the spilled contents with a tea rag. He waved his hand carelessly, coughing in the process.

Selena actually looked worried, and she sent Joe a look. Mr Jonas finished wiping his suit and stared at Nick and Joe, he still seemed to have unnoticed Selena and Zayn.
