Just a Little Family Meal

Kinsey had to be the worst cook ever. If it hadn't been for Jack they probably would have starved those six long years in captivity. But this evening Kinsey had been more then prepared to attempt the massive meal for the get together with James and Zoe. Kinsey was surprised however with Mac, Jason, Keira, and Zeke had shown up and effectively kick both her and Jack out of the kitchen.

"Mommy when can we learn to cook?" MC had inquired as she watched her older alternate slicing potatoes and tossing them into a pot.

"When you're tall enough to see the stove top," Kinsey had retorted and shoed the younger kids out of the kitchen.

Kinsey and Jack were reclining on the sofa in the living room awaiting the arrival of their guests when Kiera poked her head into the living room to announce that dinner would be ready in about 30 minutes.

"Did you know they could cook?" Kinsey inquired of her husband as she sipped at her mug of green tea.

James and Zoe walked with Adana between them. The two 'cats on their usual shoulder perches. James could hear the voices from the kitchen even before they got to the door. He reached out and rapped on the front door.

Jack chuckled. "I had a feeling they learned how to cook out of necessity." he kissed her hand and raised an eyebrow. "I think they're here luv..."

"Zoe and James," Kinsey replied with a grin as she got up from the sofa and made her way to the front door. "Now were just waiting for Selene and Clint. If they could pull theirselves away from each other for five minutes. I don't know who's worse Jason and Kassie or Selene and Clint. Though at least they don't do it on conference room tables."

As Kinsey opened the door, James tipped his hat to her. "Evening Kinsey, good to see you face to face." He settled his hat back on his head and then hugged her fiercely. He spotted Jack over her shoulder. "Jack, old friend, it's been a while."

Zoe hugged Kinsey. Her mind was still reeling from the information overload she received upon arrival, and she could tell instantly that Kinsey, for all the first hand knowledge of this mess, was still reeling deep inside.

"It's going to be a nice evening," Zoe said assuringly.

Mira dropped from Zoe's shoulder to walk beside Adana. The pair had a system where Adana held the cat's tail as if it were her mother or father's hand and the 'cat helped to keep an eye on the child. Houston's part in this act was usually to scout around and make sure nothing could immediately harm the child.

"Nice see you again mate." Jack said as he shook James's hand. "So what are you drinking these days?" he asked as he got up and walked over to the small bar in the living room. "Zoe?"

Zeke came out with a towel and wiped his hands off. "Dinner's about ready." he stood at attention to Webster. "Colonel." he said with a salute. "Commander. Never thought I'd see you guys again. You two look good, like I remembered you from when I was a kid."

Young Zeke came out and rolled his eyes. "Hey, big me... your Kiera needs us."

"My lady awaits." Zeke chuckled and went into the kitchen.

"I have this weird feeling that those two are eloping." Jack said as he pulled out a few bottles from the bar.

"Probably a few glasses of homebrew, if what I just saw is any indication of the catching up we have to do. Correct me if I am wrong but did I just see the same person twice?" James blinked a few times, it had been a long mostly restless flight from New Texas, but he didn't think he was that far gone.

"My nephew slash future son in law." Jack said with a chuckle as he poured glasses of Homebrew for everyone. "Wait'll you see the rest. Marcus's kid is actually completely unlike his father and he wonders why he never got promoted above Captain." he handed a glass to Zoe and then James. "We were worried you were dead Zoe... your fill in never let anyone know you went off with James."

"Ummm yeah you're about to see that more of that. Apparently our kids came back from the future so there are version of our kids 20 years older in the kitchen cooking dinner." Kinsey stated with a grin. "We'll line them up later so you get who's who. It kind of confusing at first but they've taken to nicknames and stuff. And yeah Zoe the person who took over for you sucked."

The home brew burned its way down his throat just like always. He had a feeling he was going to need plenty of it by the time the night was through. He could sense a feeling of equal confusion at the temporal paradox emanating from Zoe. "Don't tell me a grown up Adana is here and we have three grand kids or something." Houston's head cocked back over his shoulder at the mention of the girl's name even as he returned from snagging two celery stalks from the kitchen.

“As far as we know she isn’t so consider yourself lucky. Angel and Nathan’s kid showed up and she hasn’t been born yet. And damn if she isn’t just as peppy as Angel.” Kinsey replied with a grin. “I can say at least it wasn’t as much of a shock for us when our kids came back considering we knew we had kids. We weren’t exactly prepared for what brought them back.”

“Mommy this giant cat thing just stole the celery?” MC blurted out as she walked into the living room looking for Huston with a ‘you’re in trouble’ expression on her small features.

“Mac go get your brother and tell Jason and Mac to come out here.” Kinsey told the child but before she could the three of them joined Jack, Kinsey, James, and Zoe in the living room.

“I thought Selene and Clint were coming.” Jason stated as he nodded towards James.

“They’re running late,” Mac replied matter of fact. “I’m actually surprised you came.”

“Don’t you two start that again.” MC and JC both ordered at the same time causing both Mac and Jason to exchange a glance.

“They’ve been fighting all day,” MC stated.

“So don’t mind them.” JC continued.

“I’m Mac,” MC began. “But they call me MC know so we don’t get so confused and no one can say M’k’n’zy. But she’s Mac because well she’s been Mac longer I guess.”

“Mac Calhoun,” Mac said with a grin as she extended her hand to James. “And I’m from the future. If you think about it too long you’ll give yourself a headache.”

James laughed at the younger Mac, "Houston and Mira are fond of celery, and they are just as sentient as you and I." He nodded toward the assembled,"Quite the brood you and Jack have Kins."

He accepted Mac's hand,"I must admit it's rather strange meeting you....and you. Some and I were gone only a year and well... Here you are. I am James," he motioned toward Zoe, "My wife Zoe, our daughter Adana, and of course you met Houston and Mira."

“It’s just as strange for us sometimes.” Jason began. “In our timeline things were a lot different.”

“Mommy died on Trill,” Little Jason (JC) stated with a sad expression and MC punched him in the arm.

“Yeah but we fixed it,” She informed her twin with a matter of fact tone.

“Jason Calhoun,” Jason introduced himself and pointed to his younger self. “That’s JC. Mac’s idea to shorten everyone’s name including Kirk’s. He went from James Tiberius Kirk to JT and actually likes it.”

“I told him he could come mom invited him but he didn’t want to intrude.” Mac explained.

“He’s scared of Jason,” MC stated with a grin.

“He’s more scared of Mac,” Jason corrected. All four of them rolled their eyes.
