"The sour puss can wait." Carrington said with a dismissed wave at the car. "I don't get to see you guys all the time so it's a special event." Carrington had brought her car too, so they could pile the toys up in her trunk and her brother would be spared the hassle of two young children plus a trunk full of toys. She quickly went over to the car and explained the situation to Reinier. 

"Babe...really?" He asked, "I thought you and me were going to go back to the hotel - "

"Your mom wants us to stay with them." 

Reinier rolled his eyes. "I thought I was going to get to spend some time with my girl. You've been working so much..."

She gave Reinier a kiss, "I'll make it up to you later." She said, "Pinky promise." 

Soon Reinier sped off in her car and the toys were put into the trunk of Jamie's car for the time being. Ada and Finny demanded that their father carry them to the cafe. "Aren't you worried about your car?" Jamie asked his sister as they walked. 

"Nope, as long as no one gets hurt I don't care." 

It was a short walk to the cafe but it was cold enough to turn the kid's cheeks, noses and ears red. The heat of the cafe was welcomed and the two kids practically jumped from their father's arms in order to get inside quicker. The kids chose a large booth to sit in, their aunt following them closely as their father left to use the bathroom...or whatever he said he needed to do, Carrington hadn't been paying attention. The kids talked a mile a minute about everything, well mainly Disney stuff since Sam had a knowledge (she told everyone about Samantha singing to her) and their aunt was the one that got them hooked on Disney movies. She was partially responsible for the kids' rooms back at Jamie's place. Without her helping her brother he wouldn't have finished the murals in time. Finny's room was themed around The Croods; it was his favorite and if asked he why he liked The Croods his answer was simple: it had Belt in it...and Chunky the death cat.

By contrast Ada's room was painted with the characters from Atlantis: The Lost Empire. "Auntie...can you paint my room? I want Elsa's castle." She grinned before looking at Samantha. "Um..." Her cheeks turned a light shade of pink as she gestured for Samantha to get closer. "I wanna play Frozen again." 

Finny was happily playing with his toy; his back was pressed against his Aunt's side with his legs and feet taking up some of the space on the seat. 

Jamie came back and sat next to Samantha in the available spot. "Ah...thanks for inviting us." He smiled, “It’s nice that there are still some good people in the world.”
