"So that's it?" They glance at their parents with dissatisfaction.
"Yes, the other parts are for us to keep and reminisce when we are alone" He sips his coffee lounging on the sofa.
"I don't want to lie. That was unfair. I wanted the juicy parts, how you proposed to each other. Maybe I would learn how to propose..." Peace elucidates himself.
"It would make sense if Bruno said that. You my darling brother are single" Bianca mocks at Peace.
"Come on don't be harsh on Peace" Sydney defends Peace and winks at him.
"Let's be honest, Bruno is the promising one in this family. Peace and Sydney are single. I am single. Natasha and Zayn are single. Cairo is just too young" Bianca refills her glass of water and continue sitting on the armrest of the sofa.
"I am not too young. I am 18 years old. That's a legal age for drinking alcohol" He gives Bianca a scornful gaze.
"Yah, yah. Let's let it go. Arguing about how single we are won't change anything. Let's finish preparing snacks. Uncle is visiting " Natasha tries to calm down the innocent squabbling.
"Ah yeah, let's prepare so that you will get time to catch up with Nick" Cairo frowns.
"Her twin from another mother" Zayn scolds Natasha.
"Come on. You are my twin" She hugs Zayn tightly.
"Ahh. Leave me, Natasha. That's enough hugging. How will I get a lover when you are clingy like this" He teases her. She chuckles and nudges his limb. She lets him go. They all go to the kitchen leaving their parents melted on their love seat. This is not exactly what they envisioned but they love their big family.
They hear the doorbell. Natasha runs past them in the lounge room.
"I will get it" In a flash of a light she was opening the door with a huge grin. "Hi Uncle, Hi Auntie "
"Natasha" Unah hugs her, squeezing her in her embrace.
"Honey easy the grip, she can't breathe. Hey, baby" Lucy places her soft peck on Natasha's forehead and pass her while holding a big dish covered in a foil wrapper.
Unah eases his grip and steps into the house.
"Hello everyone!" His voice was loud enough to catch the entourage in the kitchen. They return the greeting by waving their hands and continue doing what they were busy with.
"Nick" Natasha exchanges a special meeting gesture.
"Pat!" She hugs her close and they exchange their greeting gesture.
The rest just pass them while Nick, Pat and Natasha are greeting each other and head for the kitchen.
"Labyrinth, Jim, Noah and Singh" Peace hail at them and they exchange hugs with everyone in the kitchen.
While Nick, Pat and Natasha are still standing on the entranceway, another family walks in. They welcomed and greeted them. The young man stayed behind and exchanged greetings.
"Hey Micahel " They greeted him with happy faces. They closed the door and followed Micahel's brothers.
"Hey hey!" David lifts and waves bottles of wine while beside him was his lady lover who he recently introduced to the whole family.
"The Urahs have arrived" Peace welcomes them and brushes David's shoulder because his hands were sticky.
"It is great to finally do a get-together, it has been a while" Les opens the bottle on the kitchen top.
"You are already drinking already" Tom, his sibling snorts. He shoves some of the crisps from the dishes into his mouth.
Bianca slaps his hand. "And you are putting your fingers where you shouldn't" She moves the bowl away from him.
The elders are settled on the sofas and sipping their wine.
"Where are the Rabannes?" Utah asks concerned
"He is caught up in a job, the sisters are dealing with their family matters. They will make it on the next coming get together" Urah explains the situation.
"Okay. Is just the kids have never met their kids before, plus there's Kyle and Kylie, the last born. " Utah rubs his temple. The Rabannes avoiding these family events is stressing him out. He needs to find a way for them to be introduced to the kids. These kids are growing, they need to strengthen their unity.
"Kylie and Kyle will arrive tomorrow at my place" Unah replies.
They keep their silence and sipping their wine. The Rabannes are a big house of royal warriors, there's no need to worry about them. They should savour every moment that they have on this Earth because anytime they could be summoned home by their Father.
