Trish sighed and said “I’m not sure what to do…I can’t tell if they will need me or not…”

Serena paused and blushed saying “well…that is very sweet. I’m not sure she knows what she would be getting you into being around me…” she looked around and added “we will need snacks for sure…”

Chas sat down on the edge of the bed beside her, "They're just gonna be worried you'll get hurt thats all, but thats because they're all worriers. Not only that I think Kay in particular is more worried about seeing her sister again. If you want to go to Seattle with them they're not going to stop you." he told her.

Josh saw her blush and thought it was sweet. "I'm sure whatever it is I can handle it" he told her with a soft smile, before snapping out of his thoughts as he looked at her. "Snacks..right, I'll go get some" he said, getting up and heading to the kitchen.

Kay couldn't get to sleep no matter how much she tried. She tried getting to sleep on her back, on her right side and left but nothing worked. She even attempted putting the pillow over her head but nothing worked in the slightest. She was tired enough, that much she could figure out but she couldn't take it anymore, so she got up and headed to where John went to bed, having overheard where he was going for the night.

Trish sighed and asked “would josh feel better me staying here?”

Serena smiled and got up to follow him into the kitchen. She grabbed a bag to put things in. Then she said “I’ve had a bad time with relationships…I’d hate to disappoint Trish…” she was right by Josh, shoulder to shoulder.

John was on the couch in the den. Tossing on the couch, he seemed to be having one of his nightmares again. He was muttering softly, sweat running down his face.

Chas didn't know how to answer the question asked to him by Trish, but he knew if it was Geraldine, he would prefer it if his kid stayed home with family and a friend, rather going into the danger with other adults. "I can't answer for Josh, only you know him well enough to know what he'd prefer" he told her truthfully. "But if you were my kid? i'd prefer it if you stayed back" he admitted to her.

Josh could understand what she was saying, if his past partner had died in his arms, he would be hesitant to get into another relatiosnhip as well. "I can understand that Serena, think she just wants us both to be happy" he told her, feeling her shoulder against his.

Making it to the den she saw John on the couch seeming to have a nightmare. She sighed and quietly stepped across the den to him, getting onto the couch beside him and wrapping his arm over her, where she then lifted his hand up to her lips and kissed it before lowering it round her waist once more and closed her eyes where she drifted off to sleep quickly and calmly.

Trish sat up and thought for a minute. Then she said “maybe that would be best…I can’t shake the feeling something bad is going to happen…but it might be worse to handle if I’m there…”

Serena smiled as she made bags of snacks and said “she is a sweet kid…it has been a while…” she turned sharply and was much closer to josh then she meant to be. “Oh…sorry…”

John felt her there and calmed as she moved into his arms. He seemed to do better with her there surprisingly.

Chas nodded, "Then if that's your decision you can come and meet Geraldine with me in the morning instead whilst Josh goes to work" he told her, tucking her into bed. "Now...get some sleep" he smiled.

Josh smiled and nodded, "that she is" he agreed, though he was partially biased due to the fact he was her big brother. WHen she turned and ended up closer to him, he smiled sheepishly, "it's err..it's okay" he smiled, looking at her back.

Trish nodded and curled back up, closing her eyes and falling asleep faster then a cat in the sun.

Serena was bright red now and didn’t move as she said “well…she does have foresight…maybe she saw something we haven’t seen yet…”

Satisfied that Trish had fallen asleep, Chas left John's room where she was sleeping and closed the door behind himself, heading to the spare room to get some sleep himself.

Josh smiled, seeing her blush bright red, "maybe so" he spoke back, lifting his hand up and sweeping some of her hair behind her ear, unable to look away from her.

Serena nodded softly, not moving away from him now. “I guess we will have to wait and see what fate brings right?” She smiled softly, leaning into his hand again like before. She hadn’t felt like this in so long. And she felt she was ready to move on.

Josh smiled at her words, nodding softly. He felt so drawn to her and he couldn't explain it. There was just something about her that had him intrigued and captivated from the moment he saw her in the wheelchair in the hospital. She was so fearless and strong but had this amazing caring side to her, not to mention she was so good with Trish. "I guess we will" he said finally to her. He stroked her cheek as he held her face there, his own itching forward ever so slightly, debating if he should kiss her or if she'd run a mile from him if he did.

Serena looked at him, not moving away. She looked into his eyes, her eyes shining brightly. “The fates always find a way to make the world spin…” she moved her hand to his chest, not looking like she was going to run.

Talk of the Fates, mythical birds, gods, and magic abilities were all so new to Josh, but he surprised himself at how well he was taking everything he had been introduced to at such a short time. "I guess so" he said back to her, quietly as he glanced down at her hand on his chest then he leaned in slowly and kissed her, closing his eyes as he did so.

Serena closed her eyes as he kissed her back, leaning into him as he moved her hands to his neck and wrapping her arms around his neck. She kissed back, pulling him to her.

Josh wrapped his arms around her waist as he kissed her and she seemed to respond to it by kissing him back. He for some reason, didn't think she would kiss him back but when she did and even pulled him closer to her, he embraced it. He had never been so glad to be alone and not have Trish lurking round a corner watching him as he did in this moment. As much as he loved his sister, this was definitely a time when he needed to be without her.

Serena smiled in the kiss and moved into him, pulling him with her so she could lean against the counter and not have to support them both a she kissed him back more.

Josh gladly followed her lead toward the counter as he kissed her back more, the kiss going from sweet and nervous to slightly more passionate. He found himself truly having to refrain from lifting her up onto the counter as it wasn't his home or hers technically and was certain John wouldn't appreciate having two people getting hot under the collar on his kitchen counter. After a good few minutes he pulled away, slowly opening his eyes and looking down at her with a broad smile on his face.

Serena sighed, not wanting him to pull away as he did. She giggled a little and said “we got a little carried away…must be something in the air. First Kay and John and now this…” she didn’t move her hands from his chest.

Josh chuckled at her comment, thinking it was seeming that way but he didn't care. He kept his arms round her, his hands on her back. "So it seems, but I'm not complaining. Guessing those two are a thing then" he commented, not complaining about her hands being on his chest in the slightest.

Serena smirked and said “bond by fate it seems…but it seems it has something in plan for us as well…” she moved her hand to his cheek and said “you okay with this?”

Josh took in what she said, and never before did he think it was such a thing but now his eyes were opening to the whole possibility of it being a legitamate thing, he smiled. "i guess so" he replied, leaning his cheek into her hand. "you know what? I actually am" he told her truthfully.
