Turns out having Penelope as a neighbour was pretty cool. She'd bring me bake goods and once a week she'd come over with Spencer and I'd cook us all dinner.
"You know, you look a lot like your mother Ashley." Penelope told as she looked at one of the pictures I had of her while I cooked dinner.
"Yeah. You should meet my older sister, my god do they look alike."
"So what's your mother like?"
"She's kind. Caring for you, and no matter what, she stops the bad dreams from happening." I told as I mixed the pasta in the sauce.
"You don't talk about your parents a lot."
"I don't talk about my family in general."
"What about your father?" She asked making my freeze a bit.
"Head strong. Don't wanna get on his bad side, can be scary." I told.
"Can see where you get it then."
"Yeah. I don't share a lot of common attributes with him."
"I get that. What about your adoptive father?"
"Oh Christopher?! Big ol' teddy bear. Any questions about voodoo and he'll tell you. Hell, I know what I know cause of him."
"He taught you voodoo?"
"Yep. Edith, Edgar and Tyler are the most into it out of the six of us."
"Six?"
"Yeah. I told you this. Three older siblings and two younger ones. I'd kill someone if they hurt one of them."
"What are their names?"
"Edgar, Edith, Peter, Tyler, Flynn. They annoy me but family is family and I wouldn't change any of that for the world."
"Big family."
"Yeah. Christmas is a bit hectic, but it's kinda how we role. Minus the Christmas I was quarantined with my cousin."
"What's your cousin do?"
"She's an artist. Also works in giving faces to skulls so they can figure out what they looked like."
"Maybe I'll get you meet them."
"I hope you will." I told before my front door opened and people came in.
"Sorry. I discovered them trying to find your place." Spencer called.
"So glad I make a lot." I told as I turned. "Hey team."
"I'm finally in her house." Emily told.
"Let's never leave."
"Yeah I should have moved when I learnt Penelope was my neighbour." I joked before I began to dish up with Spencer's help. "Welcome to my humble home, and yes I have photos of me and my family. Shut up."
"Who's the scary looking man with Spencer in a headlock?" Jj asked.
"That's Unkie. He adores baby face."
"What's with all the guitars, la mia piccola arma geniale?" David asked.
"I like collecting guitars, papa Rossi."
"I like them."
"My favourite is the factory black 1966 Gretsch 6120. My cousin Angie got it for me cause she knew I've been wanting one for so long."
"That was the 2005 Christmas wasn't it?" Spencer asked.
"How'd you know?"
"Hey Baby. Who are these three?" Derek asked making me look towards the photo Lucy took of me, Dean, Sam and Abigail.
"Family. My god child, with her god father and his brother. Nothing much more to that."
'Please don't recognise them. Please don't recognise them.'
"Cute kid."
"Yeah." I told before putting all the plates onto the table. "Dinner is ready."
'I should keep that photo in my room.'
