Holiday at the Sigurd Mannor

Josh looked at Tristan incredulously. "Seriously? Is this a new development or is this something they have been trying to hide for a while? Cause if they are hiding this, they are doing a piss poor job of it."
 
"Piss?" Erik inquired incredulously, turning and smiling at Josh, who had taught him more than his share of words today, good or bad. "Piss."
 
"Maybe a blend of both," Valcan replied, his thin lips twisted into a frown before becoming a smirk again. Stepping forward a bit, he replied, his voice a quiet growl, "But you cannot deny what you want, either, Sarah."
 
Tristan nodded as he looked to Josh, grimacing as copycat Erik mimicked one of Josh's words. "Morgase is going to have my head on a plate when I bring that kid back," he groaned, not even turning to scold Erik. If he continued with it later he might, but there was really no point now.
 
"No Erik, not piss. Trissy Wissy." Josh said with a grin, hoping to erase one bad word from his vocabulary.
 
"No piss?" Erik exclaimed, his mouth open in a small 'o' as he was dressed, grinning at Josh. "No piss, Trissy Wissy."
 
Sarah felt her stomach flip as Valcan stepped in towards her, pinning her to the wall again. He was right, she could not deny what she felt for him, what she had always felt. She took a deep breath, and pushed against his chest, trying to move him away from her so she could regain her senses but not making any progress.

"I can deny what I feel. I have been since you left me. I had to. YOU said we were over. YOU said you never wanted to see me again. YOU said I was nothing more to you than another notch on your belt." Sarah was fighting back tears at this point. She never spoke of their break-up to anyone, let alone their affair. "I had to deny what I felt to get past what I felt for you." Sarah leaned her head back against the wall and closed her eyes. She opened them again, the hurt she felt showing in her blue eyes. "What is it that you want Valcan?"
 
Josh stood by the door, it cracked open just the tiniest bit so he could hear the conversation. He used his wand as he spied to clean up the water that was everywhere, and to dry off his clothing. He, of course, left Tristan wet on purpose. When he heard Sarah's words, he slowly shut the door again. "Wow. I had no idea that they had that much history." He chuckled, then continued, "Hey, maybe if they had figured things out in the past, Daisy would be your step sister not your sister in law. Or maybe she will be both. Wouldn't that be funny?"
 
"Not really," Tristan replied, zipping up Erik's jeans and looking to Josh with a disgusted yet amused expression. "Can you imagine poor Lief?"
 
"Well," Valcan started, looking Sarah up and down with an intensely enthusiastic expression, "I know what I want now."

Kissing Sarah, he led her down the hall and into his room.
 
Josh grimaced at the idea. "Oh. Yeah. Married to your sister would be kinda odd. So how long has this been going on between them?"
 
Tristan picked up Erik, and after making sure his clothes were on the right way he set him down again. Shuddering, he replied, "I think it continued a year after I walked in on them. I was coming home after auror training." He didn't need to say anymore, however, frowning as he tried to drown out the conversation outside.
 
Sarah was taken back by Valcan's reaction, not sure what to think. She gave in to his kiss this time, knowing what she wanted at that moment as well. As he picked her up and took her down the hall to his room, she molded her body to him and let herself be carried wherever he wanted.
 
Josh almost choked. "You walked IN on them!?! Merlin's beard! How is it that you never told me? Please tell me that they were just snogging and not... nevermind, I can tell by your face exactly what they were up to." Josh started to feel bad for his best friend, having to see his father doing that. "I'm sorry man. That's a nasty image I never want to have in my head. Does he know that you knew about them?"
 
Tristan gagged as he looked to Josh, making a disgusted expression. "Don't remind me; possibly the worst moment of my waking life." Moving to the door, he inquired, "Is the coast clear?"
 
Josh cracked the door open a bit and peeked down the hall. "Yeah. They're gone. I would probably not wander near their bedrooms anytime soon. Unless you feel like catching an encore performance." He moved out into the hallway, and started to head back to the kitchens. "Catch you later Trissy. I am gonna go get the breakfast that I was after before your little monster got loose." Josh bounded down the stairs and returned to the kitchen and poured himself a mug of coffee. He smiled at Daisy, who was there with Anders. "So, how are you this morning?"
 
Daisy was feeling rather alone in the kitchen, wondering what happened to everyone. Her head popped up when Josh came back into the kitchen. "Hey. I am not doing bad. Wondering where everyone took off to." She fed Anders another bite of cereal, then took a drink from her coffee mug. "Can I get you anything?" she asked Josh, wanting to the best hostess she could be.
 
"Nah. Coffee's good," Josh replied with a smile. He sat down at the table, and looked at Anders, making a silly face at the boy. He had missed this time with his own son, and wished he would be able to make up a bit of the time with the little ones in his life by being a good uncle. "So where is Lief this morning? Still sleeping?"
 
Daisy fed another spoonful of cereal to Anders. "Well, he was showering and then was going to go get Annette up and ready to bring down to breakfast. He should be down any time now." She was starting to wonder about him, hoping he was not having any problems with their daughter like Tristan had with his son.
 
Lief had had a really difficult time getting Annette dressed, being the little diva that she was. It was odd how she was quite the perfect little angel for Daisy, but became quite difficult when her father was alone with her. He of course loved his little princess, but she sure gave him a handful to work with.

Having gotten her dressed in a blue shirt and jeans, Lief carried her down the stairs, a smirk blatant on her face as she wrapped her arms about his neck, her little curls bouncing. She could not talk yet; but he had a feeling that she was going to be the quiet one. The schemer, no less.

"Good morning, everyone," he greeted, noting the small company at the table, "Has everyone already had breakfast?" He raised his eyebrows at the kitchen table; there was quite a mess of oatmeal, and he noted the water spots on the floor. "Is everything all right, honey?" he asked of Daisy, a bit worried as he placed Annette in her high chair.
 
Daisy smiled up at her husband. "Sorry, I didn't get a chance to clean up. Our darling nephew didn't like to eat his oatmeal, then didn't want to take a bath. He is quite the streaker." She laughed, then turned her face up for a kiss. "Did you have any trouble?"
 
Lief gave Daisy a brisk kiss on the lips, chuckling at the brief story of how exactly the dining room was such a mess. "Actually, Annie here did give me some trouble, but we got through it, didn't we?" Looking to his pouting daughter, the smirk still present in her eyes, he replied, "I tried doing her hair, but gave it up after a while. Annie doesn't seem to be partial to piggytails."
 
Daisy laughed at her husband. "Um, yeah. I guess ponytails are so last week with that one." She turned to her daughter and scowled. "Why are you giving Daddy so much trouble? Hmm? You need to be nice to him. Wrap him a bit tighter around your little finger." She ended with a smirk to match her daughters. "There is still coffee in the pot, hun. I haven't made anything for breakfast. Been a bit too active down here." she glanced out the patio doors to where her mother was sitting a few minutes ago. "Hey, was Mother upstairs? I didn't see her come inside." She was puzzled. Valcan had disappeared too.
 
As Daisy asked about Sarah and Valcan, Josh was sipping from his mug. He started to choke on the warm liquid. He started coughing and sputtering, like someone who knew too much. "I think I passed her upstairs." was all he could get out with a straight face.
 
Lief grinned as Annie smirked back at her mother, matching her mother's quite perfectly. He nodded, turning to feed her some breakfast. "I did not see either of them yet this morning," the blonde Norwegian replied absentmindedly in his thick accent, having no idea of what was really going on. He gave Josh an odd glance as he started to choke on his coffee, his ice blue eyes glinting with confusion. What in the world was going on?
