It seemed so long since she had first come here, not quite sure where to stay, but now she had practically taken up residence at the Inn, the children grown there...No other place could be thought of as home. No sooner had this been thought than a loud crash drew all attention to the back of the room. Two dusty little boys stood up, four or five years old at the most, trying very hard not to smile at the mess they had just created as their fort assembled by stacking chairs and tables fell down around them.

"Xander...Fox? What did I tell you about that?" Tatem walked briskly, what to most would have been embaressment was simply another tribulation of the day.

"Sorry Mama.."
"Ya, we're sorry."
The two hastily moved all of the "rubble" to the sides and ran forward to embrace their mother about the knees.

"Where are your sisters?"

Xander thought for a moment then shrugged and Fox merely pointed up the stairway toward the room the two little girls occupied.

"Well, clean up, once you're done, we have things to do, and bathe, you both need it, you're dirtier than Nebula and Galaxy in the mud."

The boys nodded and Tatem went up the stairs.
