Aric & Carys Spend Time with Sterling

*It was too early to head to the lab, Gideon was still sleeping he was sure. He shot a quick text to Carys "Hey, you up? Can't sleep." within seconds she replys "Come on over. Dad is here!" * He shook his head and read the message again* Yep, It still says Dad. Well, I'll be damned. The old man is back! *with a grin he heads for his sisters suite she shared with Rune. He knocked quickly and waited for someone to answer*

Carys Chase Aric! Come in! * Carys half stood from the sofa where she was sitting by her dad. The first male she ever loved besides her twin, she smiled at her dad and sat back down as Aric entered. * We missed you dad, more than you know..

Sterling Chase *Leaning back and wrapping his arm back around his daughter's shoulders while nodding to his son. Damn, how in the hell did he manage to get lucky enough to be the father of these two?* Aric *a proud grin draws his lips across his face* I've missed you both as well.

Aric Chase *He grinned wide at Sterling* I've missed you too Dad. Do anything exciting? Well, that you can talk about with us anyway? *He grabbed the seat across from the couch and got comfortable. He remembered being a young Breedling and sitting on his fathers lap as Dad and Mom went over Dad's day. It was something they looked forward to every day. Carys and he would stand at their window waiting to see Dad before racing to the door to hug him first. He smiled as the many memories assaulted him* It really is great to see you again Dad, Lucan has had you gone more than home lately.

Carys Chase * Carys laid her head against her dad's shoulder. She couldn't help the smile on her face when her dad was around. After everything, the arguments about Rune, the sullen silences, her dad was always there for her and Aric. Sterling knew now she could handle her own and seeing the pride in her dad's eyes made her heart soar.* Next time tell Uncle Lucan you need a vacation..at least for a day or so.

Sterling Chase *Smiling down at his little Dolly, he nodded his head in agreement* I think you have a good idea there, Carys. This old Warrior needs a bit of a break. *He glanced back up at Aric* This particular trip wasn't as exciting as others. Lots of paper work and looking for leads in places they weren't meant to be found, but at least we know what we're NOT missing at this point. The report I made should free up some family time while Gideon works his way through every little detail.

Aric Chase Oh yeah? Like, enough family time to say...go away? I've been itching to hit the mountains somewhere. Maybe take off and do a little camping on the top of a mountain? I can see if one of my teammates will cover some patrols for me! *He was already planning out how he was going to ask when Carys cut his fantasy short*

Carys Chase Aric..*She smiled at her twin softly* Sunshine, I don't think dad would or Rune would enjoy wearing a UV suit and hiking. * Aric's face fell and he shook his head.* I know bub, it would be nice though to just have some family time, even here at home. Maybe we could have a movie night or go into the city.. * She smiled at them both.* I don't care as long as we are all together. * Her dad hugged her tight and she sighed happily. Just having everyone close meant the world to her and it really didn't matter to her what they did, fighting over a card game or going through old photographs, as long as they were together it was perfect.*
