When Freya met Aiden

Oh I like presents" and he opened it "it's two bandanas and a necklace, the necklace is gorgeous, it's a fire breathing dragon" and he held it up. It was beautifully crafted, a blue and gold dragon and it had flames shooting from its mouth "I can wear this when I'm doing D&D games. What's her name and is she coming to the show?" "Her name's Fiona and yes she's coming to the show, but she's only got ordinary tickets, so she didn't know if she'd see you, face to face, so she was going to drop them off here, but as we'll definitely be seeing you she asked if we minded giving them to you. Told her of course and you'd be delighted with them" "well you're not wrong, I do love my bandanas and this dragon is absolutely gorgeous. I think I'll wear it tonight, with my new T-shirt and matching bandana" "definitely, you'll look gorgeous, and I don't know about Dungeon Master, you'll look more like a Dragon Master" Freya said "definitely, well he can control you, and that takes some doing" said Lianne "Lianne? your mom is not a dragon, she's sweet, kind, lovable and absolutely gorgeous, and I love her" said Aiden "he's so young and innocent, isn't he? Poor boy he doesn't know what he's letting himself in for" said Krysta. "Oh I do, I've seen the dark side of her, when she....." "I'm going to the loo, do you need to go Anna?" Asked Georgie "no, but I'll come with you, because uncle Aiden wants to do some 'grown up talking' doesn't he?" "yes darling I do, but I'll only be a few minutes" Aiden said, so off they went then Lianne said "what 'dark side?'" "Well when she went off on her bike, we didn't know where to find her, we spent days looking" "then I had the bright idea that she might have gone to Aiden's special, secret place, because her nick name's 'the camera' isn't it? So if she's been once she'll find her way there again" said Charlie "and she did, and I went looking for her there, but when I got there she put her knee in my back and a knife to my throat, then sniffed me and pushed me away, I tell you I thought my time was up" "well it was your own fault, sneaking up on me dressed head to toe in black motorbike leathers. I didn't know you had a bike did I? I mean I was a poor defenseless old lady, you could have been anybody." Regan said "since when have you been defenseless? I grabbed your wrist and I was flat on my back, with your foot on my throat in seconds, I didn't know what hit me, your mom's vicious" "yes, well if you'd grabbed my wrist, you'd have got the same from me or worse" said Lianne. "Yes and earlier on you threw Eric on the ground and had your boot on his throat, mind you I should have warned him not to get to close" "well what would you have done? In amongst the trees and bushes, I fell asleep with you cuddling me and Anna, woke up to find some strange man looming over me, and no sign of you or Anna anywhere, so I took control of the situation before asking questions, the safest thing to do in those circumstances. Aww you should have seen them though, Anna snuggled up in Aiden's arm, they looked adorable. Then I snuggled up as well and fell asleep, can't help it, when I'm snuggled up and I can hear Aiden's heart beat, it's very calming and I felt really safe in his arms." 

Freya snuggled in and kissed his cheek. "Sorry to ask this question, but didn't you ever feel safe snuggled up with dad?" asked Krysta "no, never, scared sometimes, but never safe. I don't really want to talk about it, OK?" "ok I was just wondering, that's all. Mind you, you must have done more kissing, cuddling and other things since you met Aiden than you did in the entire time you were married to dad" said Krysta "not quite, but we're getting there" Freya giggled and kissed Aiden on the cheek "right what's everybody doing here, can't be to check up on Aiden and I?" "We need food before the show and we're getting pampered at the moment, normally we send out for food or cook something in Titan, but thanks to you Freya, we just pop back to the hotel and get it delivered to the table, it's fantastic. So as they say, we're 'making hay while the sun shines'" said Ray. "Can I come back now uncle Aiden?" Said Anna "of course you can darling, come here" and she jumped into his arms and sat on his knee "right who wants food?" Freya said. Everybody said yes, so they invaded the dining room. There were quite a lot of people in there, and quite a lot of fans, some of them were getting very excited seeing all of Home Front coming into the restaurant. There was a couple staring at Aiden and Freya and in the end one of them said "I didn't know you had a daughter Aiden, she's a pretty little thing." Anna was in Aiden's arm's and she looked at the woman, rolled her eyes and said "Aiden's not my daddy, Aiden's my uncle and Freya is my aunty" "but Ashley or kristin haven't got any children, have they?" "No they haven't, Anna and her mom are from my side of the family, not Aiden's. Right sorry ladies but we all need to eat before the show, can't have all my boys dropping from hunger on stage can we?"
