"Fine," Rachael said placidly when asked to take Y/N out to Ridge point.
'Go out with the Bartons to the river. Surely she'll enjoy swimming across the river.' Rachael felt Mathew was getting on her nerves better than Y/N. What was the need to be so nice to her? Y/N losing what rightfully never belonged to her didn't seem unfair to Rachael.
It was humanitarian to have her as they were her only surviving relatives but forgetting and forgiving her and Uncle Charles for everything was something she wasn't going to do like her dad.
"Well, good luck," Mathew said to Y/N as she headed for the stairs. "Say my 'Hi' to Clint," he added over his shoulder before leaving for the Police Department in Concrete.
Waiting on the couch as Y/N got ready, Rachael thought of her father's plea, 'Get along with her for my sake or rather for Jane's sake'. She eyed her sister skipping down the stairs. She might try for her dead mother's sake. A maroon turtle neck with denim looked rationale for any I-am-not-fond-of-cold type of person but the black jacket gave the outfit the look of a biohazard suit.
"Is it too much?" Y/N asked when she saw being gazed at with criticism.
"Maybe," Rachael replied, biting her cheeks to avoid erupting with laughter.
Rachael felt the peaceful silence was going to be interrupted when they passed the house of vampires. Y/N opened her mouth to ask something. But then she decided against it and once again turned away towards the window. Maybe she was wondering who the hell stayed away from civilization. Their house was pretty at the end of the locality. But the vampires stayed further away yet not too away for reasons known.
While she drove, she got a little bit worried about Bucky's reaction to seeing her sister. He wasn't quite happy when Jade became friends with her. He was reserved, fit to be the serious leader of the pack. A tiny part of her hoped that Steve hadn't left for the police department. He always handled situations better than anyone in the family. And Nat would surely be pleased to see Y/N.
The Barton's house was vaguely similar to the Langs. The tiny house that once had been grey had one narrow window beside the weathered blue door. But the French window box on the left side of the house filled it with a rich forest smell and the delightful chirping of the bird, making the place cheerful.
The drizzling had stopped by the time they reached the Bartons. The familiar head of Jade popped near the window when Rachael pulled up beside the driveway. With Y/N on her trail, Rachael headed for the side door, unlike the front door. Bucky was near the edge of the woods, axing trees. She glanced over her shoulder to watch Y/N flush like a tomato at the sight of the most attractive alpha of the pack. All of her being prayed for him not to imprint on her. She was going to lose her mind if Y/N invaded this family of hers.
Jade pulled her in his wolfy hug when they reached the terrace. Clint shot up from his medical bed at the commotion of their arrival.
"Dad sent his 'Hi'. How's your broken leg by the way?"
"Better. But two more weeks is what Dr Bruce says before I can go back to woods and my hunting trips." He said with a sad undertone. She nodded, waving at Steve and Nat.
"You have grown quite big," Rachael remarked as she waved at the pregnant Betty.
"We are three months due." She said, rubbing her round stomach.
"Is that little Betty or little Bruce?"
"We kept that for surprise," she answered, grinning and Nat frowned. Nat doesn't like surprises unless she is a part of them.
