"I don't know. I think the police were watching to see if he ever came back." Alice smiles weakly at her grandmother and nods, "It's good advice. I'm trying to figure out how to do that." Alice puts a cup of tea in front of her grandmother and sits at the table with hers. After a moment's pause, Alice says, "You.. you said you knew what I was. How did you know? Why didn't you say anything?"

Alexandra chuckled," If I have to explain how to bring about grandchildren...?" She trailed off with a laugh, but at the same time she touched Alice's mind, You share some of the same traits with me, so I knew what to watch for. Your mother knows too even if she doesn't have them. I never intervened because of that. And you did do quite well developing on your own I dare say."

Alice smiles weakly at her grandmother's joke and looks relieved by what she'd heard when Alexandra had touched her mind. "I was worried," she admitted speaking in a quiet voice, "Will seemed to think it would upset you if you knew I wasn't.. " Alice trails off before saying, "normal."

" William alway tended to be a bit overprotective." Alexandra said with a bit if a shrug. " When you first showed signs, I admit I was, but there was nothing I could do about it and your mother begged me not to get involved because of your father. You know what a boor he can be."
Jason stormed into the kitchen, clearly agitated," Your father just informed me I have two choices. A cot in the garage or go find a hotel. i'm sorry Allce, but I'm not sleeping in no garage. You staying or coming with?"

Alice smiles quietly and nods at her grandmother, sipping her tea. She sighs when Jason comes into the kitchen and says to him, "He's probably just kidding around again, but I agree that you're not sleeping in the garage." Alice stands up and calls for her father, "Dad! Can you please come into the kitchen?"

Alice knew quite quickly that her father wasn't joking judging by the hushed bickering coming from the living room. " In a moment, sweetie," he replied, his tone carrying over from the arguement.
Alexandra sighed," It's been like this more and more since you moved to the states. You aren't here to keep the peace and your mother doesn't bow down to him anymore. Grab your bags, the two of you are staying at my place. I only have one spare bed though." There was a twinkle in her eye as she got up, heading for the back door. " should drive him batty to know the two of you are just next door." She chuckled.

Alice looks worried and saddened hearing her parents bickering and doesn't feel any better hearing her grandmother's statement. Alice nods quietly at her grandmother and says to Jason, "Would you mind staying at my grandmothers?"

"Not without you." Jason answered quickly.
Alexandra smirked, " Smart boy."
Mom came into the kitchen in a huff. She tried to soften as she looked at Alice," I'm sorry dear, I tried reasoning with him, but you know how stubborn your father can be."
Jason snickered," So that's where you get it."

Alice nods at her mother and smiles weakly, ignoring Jason's comment. "Yeah, I know, Mom." Looking at her grandmother and Jason, she says quietly, "Ready to go when you are." Looking back at her mother, she says, "We'll definitely come back for dinner if you want."

" Of course Alice." Mom smiled and approached for a hug." Nice to meet you Jason, I'm sorry for the reception."
"It's okay." Jason replied," You're really pretty normal compared to my family."
He went into the other room and returned with their bags. Evan followed him, " And where do you think you're going?"
Jason slipped, and snapped back," Where we're welcome. Ready when you are, Alice."
Her father merely stared at her.

Alice hugs her mother and sighs at Jason. "That's not helping things." she says to him gently. Turning to her father, Alice says, "Gram has invited us to stay with her and we took her up on her offer. We are still coming back over for dinner and I want to visit with you and mom."

"But.." Father started to protest, but Alexandra held up her hand. " Shut your mouth. You don't want these kids to be happy together under your roof, their welcome under mine."
"Mom, you know it's not like that." Alice's mom broke in.
" The hell I do. He never intended to give the boy a fair chance with his precious daughter, but I'm going to ruin his little game." Gramma retorted.
Evan's shoulders slumped a bit. " Supper would be fine, but you don't have to leave. We'll," he paused," we'll work something out."

Alice smiles at her dad gently and says, "I can imagine it was a shock for you to find out that I'm engaged and it'll take you some time to get used to it. I think for now it'll be better to stay at Grams and we'll visit you and Mom often." Alice hugs her Dad, "And of course you can come to Grams."

Alright honey." Dad conceeded with a nod after the hug. " We'll see you for supper. Go get settled in."
Once outside, Jason adjusted the bags as he carried them to the next house. " Well, your mom seemed to approve of me. got the impression no one will ever be good enough for daddy's little girl. granma, well, haven't figured her out yet."
As Alexandra opened the door, she grinned," You're not supposed to. Allie dear, you know where the spare room is, make yourselves comfy."

Alice smiles quietly at Jason. "He's just protective of me." she says to him "Just like you are, though in a different way." Alice nods at her grandmother and tells Jason, "The spare room is this way." Alice then heads into the house and toward the spare room.
