The Beach, Sunday Afternoon

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah and K-Mart had decided that taking the kidlets outside for awhile would be a very good idea.

They gathered up everyone and headed out to the beach. The way the girls thought, the beach would give plenty of room for running and playing...

...and maybe Storm and Alice-Claire would burn off some of that energy that they seemed to have an unending supply of.

"Can we call Daddy?" Storm demanded.

"In a little bit," Savannah promised. "He's probably not awake yet."

Unlike Savannah and K-Mart, who had been awake since four a.m. Johnny should be very grateful that Savannah loved him too much to wake him up at that ungodly hour.

"Storm, no magic in the water!"

She doubted that either of the girls would listen to her on that. She sighed and looked at LJ. "LJ?"

He grinned, already moving after the two girls. "Don't worry, Aunt Savannah. I'll keep an eye on my sisters."

Savannah and K-Mart collapsed on the sand after spreading out towels and blankets. It was probably going to be a very long day.

Annja was concerned, but Savannah hugged on to her tightly for as long as Stana wanted to cling.

That would be when Jenna ran up and tugged gently on Stana's hand.

"Come on Stana. Let's make a sand castle."

Stana didn't want to let go, but on the other hand... SAND CASTLE!

She happily wiggled out of her mother's arms. "Okay!"

Annja watched her daughters run off to play with their cousins and then looked at Savannah. The younger girl still looked pale.

"What's going on?"

When the girls were out of ear shot, Savannah let herself drop down to the sand, burying her face in her hands. She could feel her sister-in-law's concern as she rubbed her back.

When she finally thought she could talk, she looked up and turned to look at Annja.

"Do you remember last summer when I was in a coma for about a week?"

Annja winced and then nodded. "Yeah, I've never seen Sean look so rough and so helpless. There were so many of you guys dropping and there was nothing that we could seem to do."

Translated, there was nothing for Annja to wail on with her sword.

"You know how I told Sean that you and he were together in that world?" She waited for Annja to nod. "Eve was a vampire there, as was Gwynn. Apparently they spent a lot of time messing with the other me's sanity." She swallowed. "I got myself killed there during the last battle to save the island." She shook her head. "I know that we saved the survivors there and that you and Sean were among them. I believe that Stana is your daughter from that world."

"Oh my god, Savannah." Annja swallowed whatever she was about to say and shook her head. She looked over to where Jenna had sat Stana on the beach. "That poor kid."
