Danny and Tommy paused the game and jumped up, Tommy stepped on Ryleigh's foot in doing so and she let out a little grunt. They both rushed over to hug their father. Ryleigh stood up behind them and approached to give Derck a kiss. 

"Come on kids let your father relax for a minute." Ryleigh demanded and the kids let him go to return to 'First Contact'. They had just finished the part where the Turian forces retreat from Berlin when they had paused it and now continued driving them back into France. "I missed you sweetie." Ryleigh added as she moved passed Derck and walked back down the hall, not seeing the candy behind his back. She approached the food in the kitchen and removed the top. It was ready to be eaten, but waiting until the kids left would just make it more tender so she elected not to tell Derck.

The doorbell rang just then and Ryleigh rushed over to see who it was. Peeping through the hole she could see that it was Aren. With a tap of the terminal next to the door it slid open and Aren walked inside. She looked a lot like Ryleigh, they both shared long red hair though Aren's was up in a bun whereas Ryleigh had left hers down in an attempt to look prettier for Derck. They both shared a short nose and narrow mouth, though Aren had inherited blue eyes and Ryleigh had her fathers deep green. Aren was much taller than Ryleigh as well. Ryleigh only reached the height 5'7 whereas Aren was 5'10.

"Thanks for taking the kids, Aren." Ryleigh said, kissing her sister on the cheek.

"No problem dear. Where are the rascals?" She responded before seeing Derck. "Oh happy anniversary, darling." She said, bringing Derck in for a hug. "It smells like you're going to get some decent food tonight, huh?"
