Night

Freya and Keelin's Room

Freya went and got Kai. She asked him to gather his sisters together for a quick family meeting. She and Keelin asked them to come to their bedroom to talk. It took a few moments for all to gather and Dana came in with Penny trailing behind. Behind Penny, Sadie was trailing.

Rachael sneered, "Are you feeding the dog chips again, Penny? Uncle Elijah said it makes her barf!"

"She's hungry," Penny argued.

Dana took the small bag of chips and ate one and Penny laughed. Sadie was jumping up and down in front of them begging for another one.

"Down, girl," Dana said quietly to the dog. Freya and Keelin had been talking on the balcony and came into the large room when they saw the kids.

"Hey, you're all here. Great," Keelin said in a friendly tone.

Cami came in a minute later, "Penny, come on, let's let them talk. Come on, Sadie!"

"But I wanna stay with Dana," Penny said as she clung to Dana's arm.

"Pen, go with Cami and I'll find you when we're done here, k? I promise," Dana said crossing her heart.

As she left, Rachael snickered, "You're already dead, witch!"

"Shut up," Dana said elbowing her twin. Dana gave Cami the last of the bag of chips and Cami cast a suspicious look at Penny, but said nothing. This time both the dog and the younger girl followed her out.

Kai rolled his eyes at their constant bickering. In truth, he was a little jealous that he didn't have that with Jo anymore. They felt like two strangers at times.

"So, I know Jo knows this, but Keelin and I have some good news," Freya smiled as the kids sat down on the couches and chairs in the tv area of the room. Freya looked to Keelin to share the news.

Keelin grinned and held up her wedding band, "Freya and I got married while we were in New Orleans. And there are a couple more things..." Rachael wondered what the hell else could have happened.

"More than that? Congrats. That's great news," Dana smiled. Kai got up and hugged Freya and Keelin, as did Dana. Rachael hung back and looked uncomfortable. Jo hugged Keelin as she hadn't said congratulations yet. Freya then hugged Jo and asked if she was okay. Jo assured her that she was good. They seemed awfully cozy.

"Klaus and Cami also got married. But Keelin and I would like to adopt all of you, if you want. Of course it is up to you, but it would make us very happy," Freya said her eyes shining with pride as she looked at all of them in turn.

Kai shouted, "Yeah, wow, that would be awesome!" He looked happy and handsome in a black sweater and black jeans, Rachael thought. Kai must have gotten his hair cut, he looked happy. She looked at her sisters and they looked almost vibrant, too. Dana fit in here, with Penny, with the older boys. Jo seemed to be getting along with everyone. It is only me who will never fit in, Rachael told herself.
