*The wagon pulled to a stop in front of a well-built house of moderate size. Kathy hopped off the back of the wagon and grabbed two of the bags before Michael could say anything, grinning wickedly at him.*

*He snatched them from her before picking up the rest of them.*
"No carryin' I already told you." *He nudged her with his elbow teasingly.*

"I'll be carryin' somethin' whether ye like it or not," *she said significantly.* "...so why not let me have a bag instead of feeling fat and useless?"

*He kissed her cheek.*
"Ye're not fat an' ye're not useless so quiet."

"Upstairs--in the twins' room. Our Kath'll show ye the way."
"Of course, Mam," *said Kathy with a chuckle, going up the stairs to show Michael the way. The twins being away at sea, their room was left empty.*
"Which bed d'ye want?" *asked Kathy, setting down the bag and gesturing to the two narrow beds that the twins had normally slept in while they'd lived at home.*

*He chuckled a little at the two beds but set the bags down and shrugged.*
"Don't care. Take yer pick."

*Kathy nodded shortly and opened her bag, taking out a folded nightgown and laying it neatly on the pillow of the bed nearest her. Humming, she began to unpack her spare dress and undergarments, setting them away neatly in the dresser.*
