This should be backdated a bit but I don't know how much!

As much as Peter hated flying, he loved going to the airport when it meant picking up someone he loved. His family was returning from their vacation in Spain and Peter could barely keep still while he waited in the international arrivals lounge of Heathrow airport.

Sometimes the most difficult thing to do at his hospital was simply leaving it.

( Busy as a bee! )

With the memory of last night still replaying happily in his mind, Peter rises from his bed and, after finding something suitable to wear so he doesn't permanently scar any of his children who might be up by now, he leaves the bedroom in search of breakfast. The house is still quiet, which these days means that Lydia and Anna are still asleep. At ( Read more... )

Caleb was sitting on the sofa beside Peter, telling his step-father all about his school day when Klaus re-entered the Kemp family home. He had been gone for three days and part of Peter hoped that the poor man had gone back to the Beyond where he belonged. His father was dead, and he had only been brought back by Peter's angelic wife as a ( Read more... )

Peter's family was feeling the doldrums of the After-Christmas Blues, but it did help to know that they would be jetting off to Valencia in the early hours of the morning. Spain was like a place of solace for all of them. A place where they could relax and enjoy their family. It was especially important now, after the loss of David. Family ( Read more... )

She was fairly sure Peter would do no such thing, and he had other people to be paying attention to anyway. Though ( Read more... )

Smoke coated the inside of Peter's nostrils, making breathing quite a difficult matter indeed. Smoke and ash surrounded him, obscuring his view of everything that was not within six feet of him in every direction. Ash rained down on him from above, and it coated everything that did come within his view with eerie greyness. His eyes were red and ( Read more... )

Life in the Kemp household had not been entirely pleasant of late. Peter was mourning the loss of his best friend, and he was doing his best to work through it to be there for his family. Because even while he grieved, Aly was also grieving. And the way things were, she seemed worse off than he was. Peter was doing most of the work at home, ( Read more... )
