darker_londonBy the time Peter, Tasha and Anna approached the house at 137 Prince Albert Road, it was already quite full. Flynn was sitting on Quinn's lap, Stuart and Abby were in the kitchen arguing over silly things and swatting each other with ladles. Jax was visiting too, and Thomas was reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone aloud to Mara as she snuggled up against Spectre on the sofa.
Mara looked alarmed though, when she felt the presence of angels approaching. "Someone's coming!" She said quickly, obviously frightened.
"It's alright." Thomas said, marking his spot in the book. He kissed her head and he went to the door. "I'll make sure it's alright." Thomas opened the door to a rather shocked looking Peter who was poised to know. "Peter!" Thomas grinned and he kissed his best friend on the forehead. Then he hugged Anna and Tasha and led them into the house. "Mara, this is Peter, Anna and Tasha."
Mara looked terribly shy, but she waved at them anyway. She was scared of Peter because he felt like an angel, and she didn't want anyone to make her see things again. She hid behind Spectre's arm a little until Anna bounced right over to her. "Hi, Mara!" Anna said happily. "I'm Anna. Do you like playing tea party?"
Mara looked slightly interested then. "I...I don't know how to play." And by that she sort of meant in general...
Anna had been expecting that from what her daddy had told her. "That's okay, I can teach you. Abby, do you have tea party things?!"
Abby looked absolutely charmed. "I have a wonderful surprise for you both. I'll show you something very special, come on." She held out her hands for both girls and Anna bounded over to her to take one. Mara sort of scrambled behind them, steering clear of Peter as she did so.
Once they were gone, Thomas turned to Spectre. "If Abby breaks out her precious tea set, I'll give her a gold medal. She used to try to bite my hand off if I touched it. Though...to be fair, I was trying to fill the cups with mud..."

"He's right, he hasn't. But yesterday he squealed about a spider and he made me get rid of it, and I think that counts for two days of unmanly."
"You and your rules." Quinn grinned and he leaned in to kiss Quinn.
Peter grinned. "Awww, love. But not awww, spiders. Ew spiders." And he shuddered.
"They're...as okay as they can be. Jubilee is with Bianca, Mary and I most of the time. She asks the most darling questions. A lot. She'll be just fine. And Juliet...she isn't there. She's here. A ghost. I didn't know if you knew."
Anna smiled and she took Mara's other hand. "Want to go back downstairs? You can meet my daddy for real and know he's okay. I promise he'd never hurt anyone." Well. Unless they deserved it.
"O...okay." Mara said, nodded and firming her jaw. She would be brave.
Anna led Mara back down to the livingroom where they went to stand in front of Peter. "It's nice to meet you Mr Kemp." Mara said, turning furiously red. "Uhm...thank you. For coming for Adrian and I."
Peter gave Mara a sweet smile. "You're very welcome, Mara. And I'm very glad to meet you too. I will always come for my friends and family." And he held out his hand, which Mara shook.
