Seeing as Godric hadn't answered her, Kaeira's attention was quickly diverted by Emmet's call. She smiled brightly as she raced off to find the younger of her older brothers. Being an 'Aunt' like Emmet said was real weird, and she didn't quite understand what it meant, but she knew it was important. When she finally managed to find her brother, she practically jumped him, but when she saw he had the babies with him, she held back, "Hi Em! Hi Cassy! Hi Ally!" She said, getting on her knees in front of the strollers. She looked up at Emmet for a minute to say, "Mama's in the dinner room. She just brought home food!" She said with a smile before attempting to play with Alucard. She didn't understand why the things that would make Cassandra laugh never worked on Alucard and neither did either of his parents, which was weird in and of itself, but she didn't mention it. Instead, she had a different problem to address, "Em...I don't like father. He takes Mama away from me and I don't think he likes me."

Jessica was lost in thought, sitting at the table with the corpses laid out in front of her. Jack put his hand on her shoulder, "What's up, Jess?" Jessica gave him an emotionless smile, still lost in thought, "Come on, Jess. You gotta talk to me."

Jessica didn't say anything for a minute before she shrugged, "Just thinking about how my life's turned around." She said, and he leaned down to kiss her, 'And how suspicious your arrival was...what are you hiding, Jack?' She thought to herself. She heard Emmet call out and stood up, "Alright. Well, Dad, how about you go get Godric and I'll go greet our other son." Jack nodded and walked into the room Godric and Cyrus were in.

He always felt weird around both Cyrus and Gabriel. He wasn't quite sure why, but he was. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that they were both so much older than his sons, "Hey you two. Godric, your mother had dinner...uh...cooling on the table. I doubt she'll mind if you go ahead and get started without her."

Jessica walked into the room Emmet was in, just missing Kaeira's comment, "Hey there, Mister Mom. Where's your husband? Has he been practicing his Biobomb countermeasure regiments like I told him to?" Honestly, if there was any other person working to rival Jessica's research into countermeasures for the Biobomb, it was Gabriel. But that wasn't why she wanted to talk to him. She wanted somebody else to be there to be suspicious of Jack. To watch Emmet and Godric's backs. She'd already told Cyrus to watch the man closely, though how seriously he had taken the comment was beyond her. She just didn't think their children could be suspicious of their father (though she had a pretty good suspicion that Kaeira disliked sharing her mother with him). Not only that, but Gabriel was a man of about Jack's age. His input on Jack would probably be insightful. As it was, though, it seemed that Gabe had something more important to do than come to family lunch. Not that she minded, she just wished she could talk to the man alone already.

Nicole smiled a little when Fran picked up the phone, but she was slightly perturbed by the sounds coming from the background. She hated it when Fran answered her during an experiment, "Hey Fran! I'm doing alright, I guess...Just doing homework right now, which is actually why I called. I was kinda hoping you could help me, but if you're busy, I can call back later." Someone was eating themselves there? That was slightly more important than the math Nicole was currently working on. That's when Kendrick knocked. Nicole sighed a little and turned, putting her hand over the mouthpiece of the phone, "Just...just put them on the bed or something. I'm on the phone." She said, before going back to the phone. Fran was probably one of the only people she'd confided in about her dislike of Kendrick. It just seemed like the only person she could confide in about it. She didn't like talking about Kendrick behind his and Nate's backs, but her Dad would never understand her feelings, and it just felt...mean to say it to Kendrick's face, "'Uncle' Kendrick's coming in, Fran..." She mumbled.
