media.melty.de/pmedia-10014-ajust_640-f1448632608/teen-wolf-und-ex-pretty-little-liars-star.jpg Outside the home of the Williams' a beat up old pickup truck pulled into the driveway. Out got the seventeen year old James Williams. He was fairly tall, like his father, and had messy brown hair. He was wearing a grey tank and grey sweats. He looked like he had just gotten done working out. He opened the door, and walked inside, "Cel!?" He yelled. He set his keys on the end table next to the door, and walked into the kitchen to find his sister. "Hey, so... I just got back from Sorin's." He sat on the table, and grabbed an apple. He took a bite, "And... You know how we've never actually met our Aunt Anna..?" He smirked, and swallowed. "We're gonna meet her." He hopped down, "She's coming in from Ireland..." He ate some more of his apple, "I thought she might be the best bet, she's the only one dad ever talks about..." At that moment, Chris walked in the kitchen, "Hey son.." He mumbled. His hair was now grey. He was in great shape for a man of his age. He was dressed well, he took out a coffee cup, and poured some coffee in it. "Who do I talk about a lot?" He still retained his Irish accent. James shoved the rest of the apple in his mouth, and mumbled something before throwing the core away. Chris raised an eyebrow, "O....kay." James swallowed, and tapped his sister's arm, "Meet me in my room in ten..!" He looked at his father. "It's uhh... For your present!" He smiled, putting two thumbs up before walking off. Chris shook his head, laughing, "Anyways... I just wanted to tell you that I was going to Hong Kong for a week, G Corporation is sending me there for a deal they're making... Your mother already knows."

i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Rainen20/phoebe_tonkin_cute_smile_zpsajqem54e.jpg Celina woke up this morning feeling rejuvenated and awake, she got out of bed and walked into the bathroom that she and her brother shared. He wasn't around, so she figured he went to the gym, he was a fitness geek much like their father. Turning the faucet on, and started to brush her teeth. From there, she wrapped her hair up in a messy bun, much like her mother would, it was a lazy day after all, a Saturday no school! Walking out of the bathroom, Celina ran downstairs and found her mother who was drinking her morning tea and catching up on her favorite television shows. "Hey Mommy!" Celina reached to give her mother a morning hug and kiss on her cheek before heading over into the kitchen to fix herself some breakfast. "Hey, Josie!" Marcella responded as she embraced her daughter, like she did every morning. Age did Marcella well, as she still looked like she was in her 20s, her hair that used to be on her back now sat near her shoulders, not much has changed for the mother of 2. Right on time while making her bowl of cereal, Celina heard her brother call her name, and from the looks of it, he wanted her to meet him in his room in ten minutes. "I'll be there after I finish eating James! No worries!" Just as she was about done making her cereal, Celina's father walks in, "Morning Daddy!" She poured the milk in her cereal bowl before walking over to give her father a hug. She overheard the conversation between her twin brother and father, and watched as James walked away, her eyebrow raised just like her fathers. "Hehe, weird kid, but I love him!" Celina noticed that her father mentioned about going to Hong Kong for a week, this made her pout being that she was remotely close to her father. "A week?? But Daddy, you know that my junior prom in school is coming up! You can't tell them you can reschedule it, for me? Pleaseeeee?" She really wanted her father to be around when she left, this was an important time for her!

media.melty.de/pmedia-10014-ajust_640-f1448632608/teen-wolf-und-ex-pretty-little-liars-star.jpg Chris gave a playful frown, "It's a very important meeting..." He walked to his daughter, and gave her a light hug. "And it's orders from my boss, so..." He kissed the top of her head, and turned to Marcella, "Besides, your mother will send me a ton of photos I'm sure..." He sighed, "Anywho... I gotta g--" "DAD!" James came running back in, "Don't leave!!" He put his hands up, and ran back to his room. Chris turned to his wife, "It's your fault our son is so neurotic." He turned back to James' direction, "Hurry up, Son, I have to go to work!" James ran back from his bedroom, and he was smiling. "So, I was going through some old stuff in the basement..." He pulled out a photo framed in a silver frame and handed it to his dad. "I thought you might like it." Chris took the frame and looked at the PHOTO. His eyebrows furrowed, "Where exactly did you find this?" Chris asked. It was a photo of none other than his sister, Anna Williams. "In the... basement..?" James looked a little disappointed at his father's reaction. "Are you not happy..?" Chris sighed, "I just wasn't expecting it." He smiled, and propped it on the fireplace mantle. "Looks good.. Thankyou son." James gave a meek smile, "I just... You talk about her sometimes, and I found it, and well I got it framed..." Chris looked at the photo, his back turned to his son. Chris had a pit in his throat. He just shook it off, and turned to his son. "You have been asking to meet your Aunt Anna for sometime now..." He put his hand on his son's shoulder, "And you're just not ready for that. I'm sorry." James frowned, "Have fun in Hong Kong, you're welcome." James turned and walked back to his room. Chris sighed, "Shit..." He muttered to himself. He turned to Marcella, "Can you talk to him..?"

i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Rainen20/phoebe_tonkin_cute_smile_zpsajqem54e.jpg Celina frowned when her father mentioned about not staying for her prom, she felt a little crushed by it. Her father kissed the top of her head, Celina shrugged it off. To her, this was the norm. Her father always chose work over her! If he asked about it, maybe they could have worked around something. Sighing in defeat, Celina didn't say anything to her father, instead walked into the living room with her cereal to join her mother. "Besides, your mother will send me a ton of photos I'm sure..."Looking at her daughter's pained expression made Marcella's heartache, she knew how close Celina was with her father. Pulling her daughter closer, into a hug, she kissed her cheek. "Don't worry sweetie, I'll take pictures for you. Besides, I'll even let you drive Daddy's car while he's not here. Hehe!" Marcella looked at her husband, "I'm pretty sure you know I have to take you to the airport, or did you forget?" Celina beamed when she heard her mother would let her drive her father's car, "Really Mommy?!" Marcella nodded, "Of course! Anything for my Josie! Besides, you have your permit, all you need is me in the car with you!" Soon, James made his entrance and almost caused a scene, an outburst of James calling his father could be heard and Chris blamed Marcella for James being so.. unbalanced. "Hehe, says the person who is a Williams, that's neurotic enough, Jay." Marcella snapped back. Celina got up from the couch to look at the photo that her brother held, it was a picture of their aunt Anna, they don't know much about her but with her twin brother, they were sure to find out more. James sulked back into his room, Marcella watched him, "My poor baby.." "Can you talk to him..?""Yeah, I'll talk to him Jay." Marcella responded to her husband before getting up from the couch, "Besides, I've been playing mediator between you two since he was born. I should be a licensed therapist by now! I'll be back!" Marcella, concerned for her son, walked towards his room and noticed the door was closed, she knocked on it being sure not to invade his privacy, "James? It's your mom, everything okay?" She said through the door.

James almost ignored his mother, but he walked to the door and opened it. He stared at her, "It's not fair..." He said. He walked back to his bed, and sat down. "I wanna know more about his past, and he's not letting us know. He's hiding something, and I'm gonna figure it out! Most people know who their Aunts are and who their grandparents are. Cel and I don't. It's stupid, and it can't possibly be that bad." He huffed, "Besides. I genuinely thought he'd like the picture. It's a good picture..." He looked out the window. "Sorin told me who it was, I didn't even know that was the fabled Anna... And I don't like to pry cause she didn't even raise him, and I don't wanna bring up any bad feelings so I don't ask him about it." He sighed, "I guess what I'm saying is I don't think it's fair that Sorin, and even Daniel, knows about the family, and we don't." He turned to his mother, "I deserve to know where I come from. I don't think that's a bad thing to wanna know." --- Chris gazed at the photo of his sister. He hadn't seen her in about seventeen years. They talk once every six-ish months on the phone to catch up but she and him have been so busy over the years they never got around to getting together. Chris turned to his daughter, "I'll be leaving tonight. Are we gonna watch a movie before I go?" He asked.

i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Rainen20/phoebe_tonkin_cute_smile_zpsajqem54e.jpg "Um, yeah! Sure dad! What do you want to watch? More martial arts movies? hehe." Celina finished up her cereal, and walked into the kitchen to clean up the dishes. From there, she went into the living room to fetch a movie for the family to watch. --- Marcella listened to her son, before sitting down to join him on his bed. "James, listen sweetheart." She said as she pulled her son into a hug, wrapping her arm around him. "Your father..he's a very secretive man." She kissed the top of his head, "He means well sweetie, he really does. He doesn't want to tell you everything because he wants to protect you and Celina. You and your sister mean the world to your father, and I know for a fact that he is willing to protect you by any means." This was the hard part of parenting for Marcella, how could she tell her kids about the night their father almost died or that their grandma tried to kill their father, before Marcella knew she'd conceived them? Some things are better left unsaid. "I'll tell you what James, before your dad leaves out for Hong Kong tonight, I'll talk to him about it, maybe loosen him up about meeting your family alright?" Marcella flashed a gentle smile at her son, but deep down she knew Chris would be upset at her for even mentioning the subject.

"Don't bother.." James noticed a few things unsettled in his bedroom that he started to fix. There were some clothes on the floor, and even though he was upset, it drove him nuts. He started folding them as he continued, "Dad'll end up getting mad at you, and I don't want you guys to fight... i'll just do it myself." He smiled a little, "Love you, mom." --- Chris walked over to his daughter, "Whichever you'd like.." He wrapped his arms around her, and gave her a tight hug. "I love you, sweetheart. I gotta go." He smiled at her, she reminded him of Anna when his sister was this age. Atleast her appearance did, anyways. "I'll be back around 4." He pulled away, and grabbed his car keys. "Drive your brother's car..." He said, putting his sunglasses on. "And don't go past Sorin's." His nephew lived closeby, on the outskirts of the neighborhood. He flashed a toothy grin at Celina. "Bye!" He then walked out.

i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Rainen20/phoebe_tonkin_cute_smile_zpsajqem54e.jpg "Bye Daddy! Love you! See you when you get home!" Celina called out to her father as he left, she watched over him as he pulled out of their driveway, making sure he made it out safely. Once her father left, Celina went to the back of their luxurious home, to join her mother and brother in his room. "What are you guys talking about in here?" She asked, leaning against the door frame. Hearing her daughter's voice, Marcella turned to look at Celina and flashed a smile at her, "Not much Josie, just talking to your brother just to make sure he's okay." Marcella quickly turned to see James, who had begun folding his clothes. Sometimes, Marcella worried about her children, when they were babies it was easier to hide the family problems and tribulations. But now that they are a lot more curious, which she could understand she was the same way at their age. But as parents, Marcella and Chris needed to take the necessary precautions to keep their kids unaware of the past events that occurred before their birth, it was best to keep it that way. "Anyone want to watch a movie? I have one playing at the moment!" Celina's voice cut off Marcella's train of thought. "Yeah! Sure Josie, we can watch a movie!" Marcella looked at her son, "Do you want to join us James?"

media.melty.de/pmedia-10014-ajust_640-f1448632608/teen-wolf-und-ex-pretty-little-liars-star.jpg James was about to say no to the movie when the doorbell was rang. He set down his clothes, and walked to the front door. He opened it, and there was a woman standing there. She had a short choppy haircut, large black sunglasses, a red lip, and a black slim fit pantsuit on. There was a suitcase standing next to her black spiked stilettos. She smiled. "Can I help you..?" James asked. "Well, I would certainly hope so.." She took her sunglasses off, flashing him her bright blue eyes. "You did ask my son to bring me here..." James' eyes widened, and he smiled. "Anna Williams." She smiled, "The very same..." He took a step back, widening the door, and taking her luggage, "Please... Come in..! I have so many questions..!" She smirked, "I bet.." She stepped inside, and looked around the home of her brother. "Where is Jay..?" She asked. James came back from the guest room, "Mom's the only one who calls dad thought.." He thought to himself, aloud. Anna laughed. "I've been calling him that since we were children.. Now.." She walked up to him, "Let me look at you... I haven't seen you since you were little baby..!" She paused, "Marcella!!! Does he still have that cute little mole on his butt!?" James' face turned what felt like beet red. Anna laughed, "I'm kidding..! Kidding..." Anna's Appearance

i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Rainen20/phoebe_tonkin_cute_smile_zpsajqem54e.jpg Celina and Marcella watched as James ran to get the door, it must've been someone important, Marcella has never seen James move this fast since he was 5 years old for the ice cream man! Man how time flies... maybe she'll talk to Chris about having another one! Soon, Marcella heard the familiar voice of, "Anna?" It's been a long time since Marcella even laid eyes on her sister in law, "It's been years since I seen you! How have you been?" Hearing the commotion, Celina stepped out of her brother's room to join the others in the living room, she had a puzzled expression on her face about the woman who stood before her. Noticing her daughter's expression, Marcella calmly reintroduced Celina to her Aunt. "Josie, this is your Aunt Anna. Your father's sister. You may not remember her, the last time she seen you two, you guys were mere infants."

James observed as his Aunt sauntered over to her niece. "I've been busy.." Anna said, "I have enough time to fly Sorin out to see Daniel and I once every few months.." She smiled at Celina. "You have my mother's bone structure.." She touched her hair, "Such a beauty..." James piped up, "Who was our grandmother..?" He asked. Anna smirked, "All in good time..." James sighed out of frustration. She sighed, "I'm going to judge by your reaction that my brother doesn't know I'm here..." She said to Marcella. She turned to James. "Did someone want a family reunion..?" She smiled. James smirked a little, "I just wanted to know what dad's life was like before he had us..." He said. Anna raised an eyebrow. Despite being a busy woman, she did have enough time to see her brother. They had talked about everything, and her brother did not want his children to know about their past. Anna understood, and stayed away. She put her hands together, and looked at her niece and nephew. "Was I brought here under false pretenses..?" She asked James. James blushed again, "Well, I may have told Sorin that dad budged on letting us meet you... You're not even offended that he didn't?" "No." Anna said, blatantly. James looked at her confused. The way his father spoke of his sister, she seemed so fun. "Not even a little..." Anna laughed, "Not even a little... Your father had his reasons." She turned to Marcella, "Atleast your son didn't find Nina.." She giggled. James was even more curious now, "Nina..?" Anna crossed her arms, "Our eldest sister..." James turned to his sister, "I told you inviting her was a good idea!" Anna smirked at her nephew, "I wouldn't be so sure about that..."

i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Rainen20/phoebe_tonkin_cute_smile_zpsajqem54e.jpg Celina observed as her Aunt admired her looks, did she really look that much like her grandmother? After hearing her son's remarks, Marcella finally knew what this was all about, and the true reason why James asked Anna to come here. Shaking her head, "Sneaky boy..." Marcella said under her breath. Deep down, Marcella knew that James would find some way to get the information he wanted, even if it meant going against the rules that she and Chris set for their children. "Excuse me for a second, Anna.." Marcella said as she grabbed James by the shoulder, and escorted him back into his room, and shut the door. Sighing, Marcella had to catch herself as she was slowly becoming furious, not by the fact that Anna was here, but the fact that her son, her only son went behind her back just to get information that was forbidden to him. "James, just what in the hell do you think you're doing? Your father's past is something that doesn't concern you!" She placed her hands on his shoulders, so that she could look into her son's eyes, Marcella was completely dead serious about this, she expected this from some people but never her own baby. "Maybe, did you think that if it was something your father wanted you to know, he would have told you?" Letting go of his shoulders, realization finally kicked into Marcella, "Dammit James, how do you expect me to explain this to your father?! He is going to kill me! Look. All your father wants to do is to protect you from his past, not keep you wallowing in it!" --- Celina winced as she heard the conversation between her mother and brother over in his room, and by the sound of her mother's voice, it wasn't being taken lightly. There was an awkward silence between Anna and Celina. How do you speak to someone you haven't seen since you were in diapers? A lot of time has progressed since then, and a lot has changed. "Aunt Anna? Can you tell me my dad? Was he always such a workaholic?" Celina asked her aunt, rubbing her shoulder sheepishly. She wanted to know her father more, what better person to get it from than her father's sister?

Anna sat down on the sofa, and crossed her legs. Her niece didn't seem to have much to say, and why would she? Anna was just hoping James wouldn't get into too much trouble. Eventually Celina would ask if Christopher was always a workaholic. Anna gave Celina her attention, and smiled a bit. "In a nutshell, yes. Your father has always been devoted to his work. You could say it's a Williams trait." She sighed, "He had a bit of a career shift when he met your mother, so he had a little time to focus on himself... However, when he found out your mother was pregnant with you and your brother, he quickly resumed his busy schedule so he could give you both a luxurious life like we had." --- James groaned when his mother pulled him aside. He crossed his arms, angry. "She's my aunt, and I have a right to know her." His mother exclaimed at how she was going to explain this to dad, and James rolled his eyes. "He'll be happy to see her. And he won't blame you, and he'll just get mad at me. I'm willing to deal with the fallout. I don't feel like I know dad, because he's always keeping secrets. Aunt Anna has the answers, and if he's not willing to give them to me, then I'll get them from her!" James sighed, "I'm sorry..." "I just want to know more about him. I mean jeez, it's not like he killed somebody or anything. Even if his family was bad, or something, I wanna know more about him. You're acting like it's the apocalypse with her being here. And you know I've been wanting to meet her for a long time, now."

i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Rainen20/phoebe_tonkin_cute_smile_zpsajqem54e.jpg Celina raised an eyebrow in curiosity when her beloved aunt mentioned her father's career change when he found out about the time her mother was pregnant. "Career change? What career did he have before? A bodyguard or something?" A bodyguard would seem like a career her father would have, giving his health guru stage he's been on for the past few years. --- Marcella sighed in defeat, she knew that James wasn't going to listen to her and it broke her heart. But, she knew that he had to learn the hard way, whether she liked it or not. "James. Just go and join your sister for me please, you've done enough." She opened the door to let James out. Once he left, she cracked the door and pulled out her cell phone to contact her husband. She knew Chris was a busy man, but never missed a phone call when it came to his wife. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Marcella listened to the dial tone, waiting for Chris to answer.

Anna smiled, and nodded, opting to not physically answer the question. Technically she wasn't lying. "For a long time." James came back, and sat down net to his Aunt. He smiled, "You're really pretty!" Anna smiled back, "Thankyou!" She laughed, "Took a lot of work, and money..." She smirked, and turned to Celina. "Would either of you like to accompany me to Sorin's..? I stopped by there for just a moment to drop Daniel off, and I'd like to see him. If Not I can always come back when your father returns..." James nodded, "Yeah..!" He could definitely get answers without his mother down his throat. He gave a look to Celina. Meanwhile, Chris answered the phone, "Hey babe, I know I'm spending the evening with you guys, I'm going as fast as I can... These arses don't understand what this job entails.." He sounded a little irritated, "Did James simmer down?"
