Gabriella has arrived. She placed the twins in seperate highchairs and then took a seat, enjoying the delicious aroma coming from the food. it was overwhelming. She hoped the others would arrive soon so they could eat. Lillian followed after Gabriella with Eva pushing behind her telling her to let poor Hailey out of her stroller. "She's three, she can walk!" Eva told Lillian, who in response rolled her eyes and attempted to ignore her. Eva kept lecturing. "Fine!" Lillian shouted, unbuckling Hailey and letting her run. "Now u watch her!!" Lillian told Eva crisply. "I WILL!" Eva replied, taking off after the toddler. Gabriella rolled her eyes. 'What a nice family this was....'

The group came to the feast. Callie trotted ahead in an a dress that was actually fairly low cut, it was dark brown and a bit flowy. She didn't mind wearing it that much and was just happy knowing she was going to eat a bunch of food that wasn't instant. Jack walked behind her, his hands in the pockets of khaki pants. He wore a crimson red button shirt and looked like he had his mind on other things than food. May ran infront Callie, she wore an orange, to the knee, skirt with brown leggings. The shirt she was a bright red, May obviously wanted to wear something related to autumn. Lexx rolled his eyes at May's energetic nature, he wore a brown button shirt and black cargo pants. He didn't try hard to dress nicely or match the occasion. May waved widely, Callie also waved but not so energetically. Lexx and Jack lifted their hands but didn't really make much effort.

Nika fixed Matt's shirt coller as the walked into the dining hall for the Thanksgiving feast. He had actually dressed in something not black for once. The whole car ride their he was muttering about Nika dragging him to some boring event. Being British, he didn't celebrate thankgiving. Jaime was holding on her hand, bouncing up and down, hoping to catch a glimpse og Hailey. Jackie was sleeping in the stroller.

Gaby nurtured her twins, holding their bottles up for them, one hand holding a bottle of formula per child. She watched as Eva chased Hailey around, and she watched as Lillian sat next to her, pissed off by her older sister. Then she realized that Lexx, Jack, Leena, Callie, and May had arrived, following by Nika and the gang. She waved to them all. Lillian stood up and smiled at Lexx and Jack, then she sat back down and said Hello to everyone in the room. Eva tickled Hailey on the ground for a minute, before bending down and picking the toddler up and holding her horizonally in a playful way. She blew a raspberry on Haileys stomach and then set the three year gently on the ground. Meanwhile, Lillian filed her nails, keeping an eye on Evas playful ways with Hailey, 'I cant stand her sometimes, why must she insist on telling me how to raise MY kids?, its not my fault shes not a mom, why does she have to act like mine?' Lillian asked herself behind a kind smirk as she kissed Kylie on the cheek. Kylie was chilling in her high chair, kicking her legs playfully as they hung. Eva greeted everyone with a friendly Hello before heading back to the table to sit by Lillian and Kylie, with Hailey on the opposite side by Lillian.

Nika said hello to everyone and elbowed Matt to do the same. She watched as Jaime ran up and hugged Hailey, talking a mile a minute to the little girl. Matt went towards the bar he saw, to get something to drink, and Nika was glad she was the one driving home. 'Good thing there's not a tv here,' she thought, 'Then the whole speil about how American football is an asinine sport would come up and how it ruins real futball.' Jackie started to fuss so she picked him up out of the stoller and patted his back, calming him down. She turned to Gabby, "So did you tell your fiance what you told me," she asked.

Callie held her hands behind her back, "Hello, I'm Callie," she said introducing herself to Eva. "This is my brother," she said moving her hand to gesture toward Jack who stood behind her, "Jack." May trotted over to the group, waved to Eva and walked over to say hello to Gaby. Lexx sat quietly down across from Lilly looked at the food, glancing at May every so often.

"Nice to meet you Callie, Jack" Eva greeted, smiling broadly at the girl who looked to be about Lillians age. "Are you one of Lillys friends by any chance?" she asked curiously, pointing over to Lillian, who put her hands on her forehead, and hid her face. 'Why did Eva have to come? Why must she always insist on watching me like a hawk? Im almost 19 for gosh sakes!' Lillian thought to herself. Meanwhile, Gaby greeted May and began discussing how much she liked Mays attire today. "I just through on something" she admitted. Lillian flashed a small smile at Lexx, who looked bored. At first Gaby hadent heard what Nika said, but then it registered. "No, I didnt.." she said through her teeth.

Callie nodded, "I'd say that," she said nicely. "Are you a friend of Lillian?" she asked curiously in a quite outgoing mood. Jack crossed his arms and looked around. "Town gatherings" weren't exactly his thing. May smiled, "Thank you!" she said happily. Lexx looked up at Lilly and then smiled.

Nika smiled, "Oh, okay." Matt came back glaring at the can of beer in his hands. "What's a matter," she asked. He gestured to the beer, "This, all American beer taste like piss, why can't they import this shit. And I had to listen to two people dressed like hippies talking about how this is a bad holiday because of what your ancestors did to the Indians." Nika shock her head, "Put that down if it's so bad then and take your son," she said, getting the beer out of his hand and putting it on the table, then handing him Jackie. She turned back to Gabby, "So how are the twins?"

Eva smiled and simply said "I wouldnt exactly go to friend, Im her older sister" she informed Callie. Gaby smiled at May and said "Your welcome." before turning to Nika "The twins are fine, I'm just feeding them some formula so they dont get fussy" she explained, still holding the bottles up for them. Lillian returned Lexx's smile. 'He's cute...' she thought to herself, but accidentally said it aloud, and she was looking straight at Lexx. She blushed but played it cool, "Yeah, your kids adorable Nika" she saved it. Hailey slithered out of her high chair and onto Lillians lap. Eva saw this and let Kylie out of her chair, and placed the baby on her lap. It was only fair that if one kid was out, the other should be too.

Nika smiled at the compliment and she rolled her eyes when Matt smirk with pride, "Thanks, don't mind this idiot, he's convinced they take after him in everyway," she said, ingnored Matt's scrowl. Jaime crawled up into her lap," Momma, can I 'ave pie," he asked.

Lillian smiled quickly toward Nika, before breaking some bread with Eva. "Pass the butter please sis." she said in a friendly manner. Eva flashed her a confused look, but passed the butter anyway. Even Hailey was a bit flustered, Lillian was never nice to Eva, unless she wanted something. Lillian bit her lower lip and winked at Gaby, looking at her stomach, Gaby covered her stomach and tried to avoid the discussion of her news. The twins were full, they reached for their mother to hold them. Gaby picked the two up, cradling one in each hand. "Aww, their so cute!" Eva complimented. Gaby smiled in response, looking down at her daughters.

Nika looked at Jaime and played with his blonde hair while Matt feed Jackie, "Not right now Choco Puff, after dinner," she said. She looked at the girl she didn't know, the one Lillian called sis, "Hi, I've never seen you before, what's your name?"

Lexx nodded quietly and folded his napkin in origami. Changing it into a crane boredly. May smiled and sat next to her brother and smiled at him. He glanced at his sister and then went back to his napkin. Callie nodded, "That's cool, Jack's my brother," she said. Jack looked at Eva and nodded to confirm.
