Narrative POV

Jesse slowly walked into the living room, the adults right behind him.

“Oh, I’ve missed that girl so much,” May said as she sat down in the arm chair next to Alexis, cradling Emma in her arms. Alexis smiled down at her goddaughter. May smiled at her and handed Emma over to Alexis, who took her gently.

“She sure kept things interesting around her,” Mike said. He sat down on the arm of May’s chair and dropped his arm over her shoulder. Chris looked at Lauren. She was standing next to him brushing cookie crumbs off of her apron.

“Now why didn’t you tell me Claire was coming to visit?” Chris asked. Lauren smiled.

“I was under strict orders to keep it a secret,” Lauren said. Shelbi looked up at her sister-in-law. She was sitting on Jake’s lap; he was sitting on the other arm chair by the couch.

“How long have you guys been planning this?” Shelbi asked. Lauren smiled.

“A few weeks. Claire called and wanted to come and visit everyone, completely out of the blue. She asked if she could stay here, which I said I wouldn’t have it any other way. She already had the airplane ticket. Her plane was set to arrive about two hours before Jaden’s, but instead it arrived only an hour ahead of his. I set up the taxi ride for her and I made sure that no one knew that she was coming or was here,” Lauren explained. Jake looked at her.

“So it was all Claire’s idea?” Jake asked. Lauren nodded.

“Right down to the tiniest request,” Lauren answered. Mike placed his index finger on his chin in a thinking manner.

“I wonder what suddenly made her decide to come and visit us after all of these years,” Mike said. Lauren shrugged.

“I wondered that myself but Claire always sidestepped the question quickly, so I didn’t press much. I’m just so glad to see her after all these years. She’s grown up so much,” Lauren gushed. Before anyone could say anything, there was a crash upstairs, followed by Claire laughing and Jaden cussing.

“You were saying?” Chris teased Lauren, who just smiled. Claire came running down the stairs, sliding down the railing and stumbling at the bottom when she finally ran out of railing.

“What happened?” Lauren asked. Claire was laughing and she just shook her head.

“Claire?” Chris asked. Suddenly, Jaden appeared at the top of the stairs, rubbing his head. He looked down at the laughing Claire.

“You are so dead, Claire Sato,” Jaden said. Claire eeped and looked up. Jaden started running down the stairs, taking them two at a time. Claire laughed again and started running away from Jaden. Jaden jumped the last five steps and began to chase Claire around the house. He had her cornered the kitchen and it looked to be the end of the chase when Claire suddenly stuck her tongue out at Jaden and jumped across the counter, just like Morgan, but landing on her feet and running to use Chris as a shield between her and Jaden. Jaden kept trying to get to her, but Claire just rotated Chris so he was facing Jaden.

“Quit using Dad as a shield and fight me like a man!” Jaden said. Claire peaked her head around Chris’ side.

“I’m not a man, just so you know,” Claire said. Jaden tried to reach for her but Claire quickly rotated Chris around. Chris was laughing at them.

“What did you do, Claire-bear?” Chris asked. Claire smiled up at him.

“Nothing, I’m completely innocent. It’s all Jaden’s fault. He’s a bad seed,” Claire said. Jaden stared at Claire.

“I’m not the bad seed, she’s the bad seed! What kind of father are you for letting me befriend such a monster?” Jaden asked his father. Claire, still keeping a firm grip on Chris’ arms, pushed him to the side so she could kick Jaden on the butt. Jaden stumbled forward before spinning around and finally grabbing Claire’s arms and pulling her against his chest, pinning her arms underneath his arms. He then began to tickle her as Claire tried to wriggle free. Everyone started laughing at them, everyone but Alexis.

Alexis simply stared at the two of them; the way Claire smiled and tried to kick off Jaden, the way Jaden laughed and smiled down at Claire, the way Jaden’s arms wrapped around Claire’s frame, and lastly, the way they looked so perfect like that. Claire hadn’t even been there an hour and Alexis already felt like she’s been seeing her with Jaden for years. The jealousy that began to coil in Alexis’ gut didn’t tighten, but loosened as another emotion swept in and began to take hold on Alexis.

Fear.

Alexis now began to fear that maybe she might lose Jaden to Claire. They way they were together…they were perfect together. Claire showing up seemed to make Jaden the happiest guy in the world. Alexis continued to stare at them as Claire finally kicked Jaden hard in the knee, causing him to release her. Claire jumped away from Jaden and fell down next to Alexis. Jaden rubbed his knee and explained what the noise upstairs was.

Jaden’s POV

“Claire made me trip over Alexis’ suitcase and bang my head on the top of my trunk,” Jaden explained. Claire smiled as Alexis winced. I smiled at her and sat down the arm of the sofa next to her. “I’m fine though,” I assured them, mainly Alexis. She nodded. Claire smiled at her.

“Relax, Alexis. Jaden’s head is hard as the rocks that fill it!” Claire said. I reached behind Alexis’ head and knocked Claire lightly on the side of her head. She just smiled at me. Alexis giggled at what Claire said. I rolled my eyes and let my arm fall across Alexis’ shoulders.

“So, where do I put my bags so we can get out of here?” Jesse asked. I turned around and pointed up the stairs.

“Go up the stairs, turn left, and go straight down the hall to the door at the very end. It’s right there,” I explained at the exact same time Claire did. I looked at her and she looked at me. Her arm was also extended in the exact same way mine way. Simultaneously, we jerked our arms so we were pointing at each other. “Freak!” we both yelled at the same time. Morgan and my parents, plus my aunts and uncles, laughed at us.

“That was creepy,” Chazz muttered. Morgan shrugged.

“Oh, you’ll get used to it. Those two are in such perfect sync, it’s flippin’ creepy!” Morgan said, throwing her arms in the air. I smiled at her and Claire rolled her eyes. Alexis looked between Claire and I before dropping her gaze to Emma, who was sound asleep in her arms. I reached down run my fingers over Emma’s blonde hair.

“Alright then, I’ll be down in a minute,” Jesse said as he headed up the stairs.

“Take your time,” Claire and I both said again.

“Stop that!” Chazz yelled. I laughed. Claire just threw a pillow at Chazz’s face.

Narrative POV

Jesse chuckled and disappeared up the stairs. He followed both Jaden’s and Claire’s directions and walked into the room he was going to be sharing with Claire. He flipped on the lights and took in the room he was going to be spending his winter break in.

There were two twin size beds, opposite each other flush against the wall. The bed closest to the door, right to Jesse’s right, was bare minus a simple white pillow, crisp white sheets, and a blue, fleece blanket. The other bed was obviously claimed by Claire. It had a fleece patch work quilt with a fuzzy orange fleece backing. Claire snagged a backrest from Jaden’s room, Jesse figured that out because it was flame red, and had her pillow propped up against it. The side table next to the bed had a book, the cover obscured because of the glasses/contact case resting on top of it. Claire’s tote bag, black with pink peace signs all over it, and was hanging on the end post of the bed. Claire had her suit case lying across the floor in front of her bed. Jesse noticed that his shoulder bag was hanging on his bed post.

He smiled and sat down on the edge of his bed, laying his suitcase at the foot of the bed just like Claire did. Jesse then laid down on his back and folded his arms behind his head.

Jesse wasn’t supposed to tell anyone, but he secretly knew that Claire was going to come and visit Jaden at the same time they all were. Jesse mentioned it during one of their long conversations on the phone. Claire just started rambling that she was, too, and then she just couldn’t wait to finally meet Jesse in person. Jesse was thrilled, too. He learned a lot about Claire and began to like the girl a lot. I mean a lot.

However, unlike Alexis, Jesse wasn’t jealous about the way Claire was with Jaden. He knew everyone about Claire and Jaden, or everything that Claire was willing to tell him.

Jesse sighed and pushed himself up so he was sitting cross legged on his bed. He then stretched his arms above his head and stood up.

“Hey, Jesse! We’re leaving! Can you bring me my bag please?” Claire called up the stairs. Jesse smiled at the door.

“Sure, be down in a second,” Jesse called back.

“Hurry, hurry,” Claire called. Jesse chuckled. He walked over to Claire’s bed and pulled the bag off of the post. It was heavier than Jesse thought it would be.

“Why do girls have to carry so much in their purses?” Jesse muttered as he pulled the bag’s strap up on his shoulder. As Jesse walked to the door, he grabbed his shoulder bag and slung the strap around his neck so it was secure. He snapped off the light and quickly ran down the stairs. Claire was waiting at the bottom of the steps for him; she was sitting on the last step. Jesse stopped behind her and Claire looked up. She smiled at him. Jesse pulled her bag off of her shoulder and handed it to her.

“You’re bag, me lady?” Jesse said in a teasing tone. Claire smiled and stood up. She was wearing a black winter coat with a fuzzy hood. Her hands were covered in white gloves with the black fingerless ones she was just wearing over them. She had a black ear warmer head band on, just like Jesse’s.

“Thank you, good sir,” Claire said, fake curtsying. Jesse chuckled and Claire took her bag. Claire slung her bag over her neck and she and Jesse made their way to the gang, who was standing in the kitchen waiting for the two of them. Sam and Joni were dressed in their winter clothes. Apparently, they were also going to come.

“Here, Claire, take these,” Lauren said, handing Claire a packet of papers. Claire took them and quickly put them in her purse.

“What’s that?” Syrus asked. Lauren smiled at him.

“Just things you’re going to need for the hotel,” Lauren explained. Hassleberry jerked a thumb at Jaden.

“Why didn’t you just give it to Jaden?” Hassleberry asked. Claire snorted.

“Because, he’d lose it in two minutes,” Claire explained. Jaden scowled at her. He was holding Alexis’ hand firmly in his own.

“I would not,” Jaden defended himself. Claire looked at Morgan.

“Morgan, who was it that lost your birthday invitations two minutes after you gave them to him?” Claire asked. Jaden flinched and Morgan shot Jaden a glare.

“That would be mister ‘I would not’,” Morgan said. Jaden smiled, repentant.

“Alright, you got me,” Jaden said, sighing. Claire nodded. After bidding farewell to the Yuki adults, the kids made their way outside. Jaden pulled a set of keys out of his pockets and handed it to Jim. Jim took them and looked at him. Jaden smiled at him. “You’ll drive the other van, the one on the right. Just follow me,” Jaden said. Jim nodded. Claire came up on Jaden’s left, as Alexis was on his right.

“You’ll get us all lost if we follow you, Jaden,” Claire said. Jaden looked at her.

“I would not,” Jaden defended himself again. Claire rolled her eyes.

“You got us lost when we were twelve going to the market around the corner. You had a freaking Tom-Tom unit!” Claire yelled, throwing her arms in the air. Jaden glared at her. She just smiled at him and then looked at Jim.

“I’ll ride shotgun with Jaden, so he doesn’t get lost,” Claire said. Jim chuckled and nodded. Claire ducked when Jaden reached out to smack her on the back of the head. She ran to the van and opened the passenger side door. She looked back at the group and smiled. “Or death seat, as the Australians’ like to call it!” Claire said. Jim just laughed out loud as Claire jumped in the van, slamming the door. Jaden looked at Jim.

“Really?” Jaden asked. Jim nodded.

“Really, mate,” Jim answered. Jaden walked up the driver side of the van, Alexis trailing behind him and climbing in. Jaden jumped in the van and slammed the door closed.

“Well, you learn something new every day,” Jaden said. Chazz leaned forward from the back of the van and folded his arms behind Alexis’ head.

“Or, for you slacker, ever decade,” Chazz said.

“Funny, Chazz,” Jaden said as he started the van. Claire turned around in her seat; she stared at Chazz in shock.

“You beat me to the punch! You ass!” Claire said. Chazz just smirked and Jaden laughed. Jaden backed out of the space, waving to his cousins as they waved at him. When Jaden was down to the edge of the drive, Jim pulled up behind him. Jaden turned left.

“Ochi City is to the right, Jaden,” Claire said, crossing her legs and leaning back.

“I knew that, I was just doing this to make you happy,” Jaden said as he pulled an illegal U-ey. Claire rolled her eyes as they sped down the street toward Ochi City.

“Tom-Tom,” Claire sang in a taunting tone.

“Shut it,” Jaden mimicked.
