OOM: Visiting Family

[geeky_agent]

She almost wishes Caiti would be there.

It would mean more questions and more problems, yes. They'd still have to explain Caiti having met Jack already in Morocco two years prior and she just knew that wouldn't go over well.

Still, she can't help but wonder if maybe it would be better to get everything out in the open now. (Not everything.) Caiti had always been good at dealing with problems between her sister and brother and it sounded like she and Jack had gotten along pretty well and she hadn't seen her in months...

This had probably been a bad idea but it was too late to back out now.

"Hey big sis," Ryan hugs her back, realizing that he couldn't remember the last time he saw her in person and their conversations had been awkward and stilted for months, one calling the other more out of obligation than any need to talk. Jeannie pretends that she's not watching the interaction and Ryan keeps his arm around Chris for a few moments longer than mere politeness. "I was beginning to think that you'd taken a wrong turn and wound up in Canada."

"It was close there," she says with a laugh. Still nervous and unsure of what to say but it's good to see her family again. "It's been a while since I've been here."

Two years but it felt like a lifetime and that last visit (http://geeky-agent.livejournal.com/16716.html) hadn't been so pleasant.

"You guys must be starving after your drive," Jeannie says, holding Tori's hand. "C'mon inside, I'll show you where you can put your things and get you some food."

"Thanks," Jack says, picking up the bags and following everyone inside, "Where should I put the bags?"

Or, in other words, will he and Chris be sleeping in the same room?

With a brief glance to her husband, Jeannie says, "You two can take the first bedroom on the left. Just go up the stairs and it will be the first door you see."

"All right."

Chris suspects they're all lucky Jeannie answered before Ryan did but she doesn't let this show. Instead she merely glances at Jack before telling her brother and sister-in-law, "We'll be back in a few," before going up the stairs.
