*Oh and he was as attractive as she'd pictured him, reading the book!*
"Count me a jealous," *she said appreciatively.* "And aww, Liam looks so much like him!"

*She giggled.* "Doesn't he though?" *She looked at Liam and ruffled his hair affectionately.* "It's the eyes, I think. They're broody." *Liam babbled and clapped. Micaela chuckled.*

"So, what's he like? I get to meet him, right?"

*Micaela nodded earnestly.* "Of course! You can visit Manderly anytime, or you can come to... omigod, did you hear? Megan's getting married. D'you remember Megan Kroger?"

"Of course I remember Megan!"
*She grinned brightly.*
"She's getting married!? God, no one ever tells me anything! And the wedding's at Manderley? That's so awesome!"

*She grinned.* "I'll make sure you get an invite. And as for Maxim, well, he's... Maxim. Hard to explain. He broods a lot."

"Brooding can often be a very attractive feature. When it doesn't go overboard. Do you have any idea why he does?" *she asked innocently.*

"His first wife." *She said simply.* "Everyone says that he adored her and just isn't over her yet... but I think there's something... off."
*Liam grasped at his mom's rings. Which were appropriately sparkly and large. The wedding band was normal enough, with only small diamonds embedded in it, and the ring nestled next to it was the one they had bought on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. It took the place of an engagement ring, as their actual engagement had lasted all of an hour. The Florence ring had absolutely gorgeous etching and a few flawless diamonds in a cluster, and caught the light, which is why Liam had grabbed at it.*

"Off?" *Renn asked curiously. She could give everything away, but that'd be abusing her suethor powers.*

"I'm not so sure she was so gorgeous, or charming, or perfect as everyone makes her out to be. Especially the creepy housekeeper." *She shuddered.* "Now there's someone I could mistake as a vampire."

*It was then that der Tod returned, a squirming Treszka in his arms. He was admonishing her in a mixture of Hungarian and German. Treszka, for her part, looked as though she wasn't sorry in the least*
"Renn, your daughter is a troublemaker."

*Liam turned and clapped excitedly for the other baby's return.* "Szzhsszhszh!" *He shrieked. Micaela snorted.* "Loudmouth baby." *She picked him up and repositioned him on her hip.*

"Hey, that's descrimination," *Renn teased.*
"Oh, so now she's my daughter?"

*Treszka was still wiggling in der Tod's arms, though her father had a good hold on her and she wasn't going to be falling*
"Only when she's misbehaving." He said with a grin.
Treszka stopped squirming and smiled at Liam*
"Leeeee! Hello again."

*Liam babbled some more and reached for Treszka. He looked at his mother as if saying 'Why aren't you taking me to her, woman?'*
*Micaela had the strangest feeling she knew exactly what Renn was talking about, being a vampire.*
*She turned to Treszka.*
"Sprechen sie Deutsch?" *She asked the girl. She spoke German and French and English... it was rare that a small child should be truly bilingual.*
