"How do you know their waiting? They could still be outside. I know I
didn't forget about that."
Food, that sounded good specially since Nick hadn't had anything to eat since that morning so it was time to raid the kitchen! Out of his room and down to the kitchen they both go. A couple of minutes later, they enter the kitchen, Julia suddenly nervous at the sea of faces as she looked through them for Alex or Philip. She nodded once at Derek before looking at Nick and moving to sit at the island bar and letting him go to move around the kitchen. She had remembered the anger Nick had felt toward Derek resurfacing upstairs and hoped nothing happened now. There were three faces either sitting or standing in the kitchen she didn't recognize. <<it was agreed that this was a good
plan so I'm going to put it in here if you don't mind>>
"Julia," Derek said gently, "this is Rachel Corrigan, Kat's
mother." Then something occurred to him. "Do you remember me telling
you that we were looking for a little girl in a red coat? Kat was that
little girl." He didn't like the idea of bringing up Ireland at all, but
he thought Julia really needed a frame of reference, so as not to think they had
replaced her, because Rachel was not a replacement for her, just an
addition to the group.
Julia regarded the woman for a moment and
slowly extended her hand, and then clicked on something... "The girl from
earlier... her name was Kat. That was...? the same one, was what she
wanted to ask but stopped. This was a weird conversation to be having...
but then again... how weird was it to return from the dead after so many
years....?
