"Morning Grace!" Theresa chirped, turning to offer the younger woman a smile."Good morning, Theresa," replied Grace, with a sunny smile. She set an overnight bag down on the table, something that Stephen hadn"t noticed before, yet his mother certainty did.
"Oh great," replied Theresa, looking at the bag. "I take it you"re ready to go?"
"All packed up," nodded Grace. "Yet, a bit nervous to meet the rest of your family."
"Nonsense, there"s nothing to worry about," waved away Theresa. "Just be your regular, normal self, and you"ll be fine. Plus everyone will be so consumed with the happy couple anyway."
"Do you want to leave soon, mom?" Stephen asked, looking over at his mother"s suitcase that was sitting near the door.
"Just about. Why don"t you finish your bag, and we"ll get moving in the next half hour? Let me go check on the twins and make sure they are ready," she replied, das.h.i.+ng out the kitchen in the direction of their room.

Grace sidled up next to Stephen, her arm wrapped around his back. "I have a surprise for you, in my bag."
"Oh?"
Grace gave a slightly evil grin, "Mhmm. I think you"ll enjoy it very much!" She winked as she finished her line.
"Any hints on what it might be?" Stephen asked, his curiosity piqued.
"Just one. It"s completely see-through," she replied, coyly.
Stephen swallowed hard, earning a throaty giggle from his genie girlfriend.
A few moments later, Theresa was marching the twins, still half asleep through the kitchen. Each was carrying a duffel bag, no doubt filled with their suits and change of clothes for tomorrow. As usual, both of them noticed Grace right away, their eyes going wide.
"It"s so cute. I can tell they are related to you. Their preferences in the opposite s.e.x are so close to yours," Grace said, telepathically.
"I"ll resist the urge to rub it in for them," thought Stephen, sarcastically.
"Eh, it"s already rough on them. They have to picture their lame old brother with me. It"s really not a pleasant thought, for either of them," replied Grace with a slight smile.
"I can live with that," replied Stephen, earning a giggle from Grace, which earned the attention of Stephen"s mother.
"Are we all ready then?" She asked, looking back and forth between them.
"Ready as can be," answered Stephen.
The five of them piled their bags into the back of Theresa"s caravan, while the twins hopped into the backseat of the vehicle. Closing the trunk, Theresa looked back over at the moving truck behind them.
"Maybe we should go introduce ourselves? Welcome him to the neighborhood?" She offered, seeing the new neighbor struggling with a mattress out of the back of the moving truck.
