*hears Eric come in the front door calling for him. Grins at Irene*

He's here. Think he'll go for it?

[irene_hicks]

I'm sure he will, how can he turn down a family reunion?

*frowns slightly*

Are you sure we shouldn't see if Daddy wants to go, too? He and Isabella could maybe patch up their relationship....

[nick_hicks]

*snorts*

Easily. Just be ready to break out those puppy eyes.

*thoughtful*

Nah, if we bring dad into it Belle will be all defensive and stuff. We wont get a chance ti say hey even.

*checks his watch*

Nicky? C'mon, I got plans tonight.

*searches the house, finds his brother and sister*

What's up?

*studies Eric's expression*

You want to spend New Year's in California, Eric Thomas? I thought you had all those dates arranged now that you finished with school.

*holds Ingrid's gaze*

Well, you know, Ingrid Barbara, they have a point. It's been awhile since we saw Indie and Belle. Could be a good thing for us to all get together and ring in the New Year as a family.

Fresh year, new beginnings, stop me when I start to sound too much like a Hallmark commercial.

[irene_hicks]

*looks at them both*

Please, let's not fight. This is supposed to be a good thing for us to do as a family.

*looks over at Eric*

Ingrid didn't meant anything, Eric, she just has out best interests in mind, right, Ingrid?

*smiles a little at her*

[ingrid_hicks]

Of course, Irene Lily, always your best interests. I think a family trip to California could be a great way to ring in the New Year.

Should I make the travel arrangements?

*smiles a little*

I believe we should surprise India Marie and Isabella Elizabeth. It will be a belated Christmas gift.
