"There's some orange juice in the fridge," Ronan said, as he pulled two tumblers out of the cupboard. "D'you want to pour us some?"

He started assembling items for breakfast -- eggs, bread, bacon, sausage...

[Open! And there will be lots of food to share, oh yes.]

"Is Lucy your nanny? Or your cook?" Katrina asked. "I used to have a nanny before I was big enough to go to school."

"Lucy's the big cook." Jadie informed her. "We have other cooks too, but Lucy really likes me. Marie is my nanny."

"Do you have a really big family?" Katrina asked, curious. "And is Mr. Conrad your daddy too, I guess?"

"Nu uh! S'just me and Mommy and Daddy and often Grandma and Grandpa and sometimes the other Grandma and Grandpa but not at the same time and sometimes Mommy's sisters and often Aunt Cassie and Uncle Jake and random people from the governament." Jadie took a breath and bounced her feet off of the counter. "UH HUH! Daddy's real famous."

Katrina blinked and stared. "Whooooa. It's just me and Daddy. Um. And Mommy, sometimes. Your kinda-sister said your daddy saved the world fighting bad guys?"

"It's just me and Mommy and Daddy usually too." Jadie reassured her. And a staff of servants but that's another story. "An' she's not my sister! I'm an only special child! An' both my parents did!"

"Your mommy too? Awesome." Katrina grinned at her. "I'm so coming here for school when I get big. Everybody's family's awesome here."
