Once Liliana had hung up her call with Jurgen she just looked at the blank screen of her phone for a few heartbeats, checking her reflection on the glassed over surface. The only outward sign of her distress was a small quiver in her hand that held the device. She took a calming breath and turned back towards the main room. It wouldn't take them long to arrive she knew, and she would wait to hear the details before she allowed her fears to take hold.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Once they arrived Liliana couldn't help but to look relieved at the sight of the two little ones in tow along with Jurgen. Walking up to them, her evening gown billowing around his legs, she knelt down to check them over in silence while Jurgen conveyed what he had already learned. They had been seen, but without any fireworks. Well, at least that was something. Once her inspection was done she stood and Jurgen took her place in front of them.<br/><br/><br/>"Jurgen is right. You both know better." she said, crossing her arms over her arms under her chest. Her gaze slid to her son and she could tell right away that he knew he was in trouble, despite the fact she hadn't really said anything yet. "You heard him Callahan." she paused for a moment, but it was plain that he was trying to think how best to answer so she continued, "Let me guess. There was someone in the elevator and you asked them to take you up to the roof, correct?" Liliana could only sigh softly when her son nodded his affirmation. "We've talked about this Callahan. You shouldn't convince people that way."<br/><br/><br/>"We are in here Karin." She called out when she heard her name being called. She looked at Cal. "We'll talk about this more later. Come along now." Turning, each of the children's hands in one of her own, she headed over with Jurgen to help with the groceries.<br/><br/><br/>Lilian watched as Karin expertly handled the situation once she had been brought up to speed. She had to admit to herself she envied that a little. If it was a social event, a party, or a business transaction she'd have no trouble at all. She really had no idea before having Callahan just how much effort and thought was required raising a child. It really was a relief that Karin was there to help.<br/><br/><br/>"What? Oh.. um." she said, blinking once as she was pulled from her thoughts. She could feel herself smiling a little as the idea sank in. It would be a good opportunity to both relax and get to knew one another better. "That sounds lovely."<br/><br/><br/>It was then that the door opened again and the last member of their extended family arrive. Jericho had wrapped up the meeting as quickly as he could, plus a few additional apologies for the unexpected interruption. He wasn't happy about what happened, but if he was honest with himself, his relief that there had been no displays of power far outweighed his anger at the interruption.<br/><br/><br/>"Hello ladies." he glanced around them but didn't see the kids since they had gone into the kitchen with Jurgen. "Has everything been taken care of here?" he asked, closing the door and locking it behind him.<br/><br/><br/>"The children are with Jurgen putting away an impressive amount of groceries. That should keep them busy for a few minutes at least." Liliana told her husband with a smile. "Karin was nice enough to invite me out tonight for some relaxation." Lifting her hand she caressed his cheek. "Be a dear and help Jurgen walk the little ones while we are gone, please?"<br/><br/><br/>Jericho knew he was being played right away and he chuckled, covering her hand on his cheek with his own before lowering it and holding her hand. "Of course. We can watch a movie after they are done with their homework or something. That should keep them busy."<br/><br/><br/>Most of the rest of the evening went by uneventful. Karin and Liliana headed out for their evening together, and Jericho and Jurgen made sure the kids did their homework. As a reward for completing everything Jericho put in a call and had his aid pick up a bunch of pizzas for them to enjoy while they watched their move. He decided to select a kids spy movie that was currently streaming and he sat down next to Jurgen on the couch while the kids huddled together on the floor to watch the flick.<br/><br/><br/>"You know, Jurgen..." Jericho started after finishing off his first piece of pizza. "I've been meaning to ask if you wanted to join me sometime. I have a hobby I picked up years ago and I thought it might be good to hang out sometimes." Looking over at the other man he smiled a bit. "Don't ask what it is. I'll keep that as a surprise, but what do you say? Interested?"<br/><br/><br/>Once the movie was over Jericho clapped his hands a bit. "Bed time. Go and get ready and brush your teeth."<br/><br/><br/>"Aww dad, can't we watch another one?" Cal asked in his cutest voice, while Lynde did the same with her own father.<br/><br/><br/>In the end he agreed to let them watch another movie, but five minutes into it they were fast asleep leaning against each other in front of the screen. Jericho looked over at Jurgen and nodded his head towards the kids. "Looks like they are out." Standing he walked around the coffee table and gently picked up Callahan. "You guys have that bunkbed right? Maybe we should put them together on the bottom bunk. I'd be worried one of them would fall out while they sleep."
