You're going to school not the bloody moon [closed]

Chaos and anarchy. Roger vaguely remembered mentioning something like that to Jemma last week when he'd spoken with her about Emmeline growing up. The statement had never rang more true than at this moment

It didn't take Jemma more than a minute to pen a return letter to Roger, a neat yet hurried response that said, Roger- We wouldn't miss it. I'll bring the dessert. What did take more than a minute was the decision on what to wear- which was something she didn't want to admit had anything to do with where she might be after work that day. It was more than just seeing Roger again, it was meeting Dahlia and Lily. Something made her want to make a good impression.

A good impression on children for Merlin's sake but the feeling still stood.

Which was why, as Jemma rounded up the children from preschool to let them know where they'd be having dinner, she was dressed in smart skinny navy trousers, a stunning silk blouse with a bright and modern floral print and her favorite pair of Tom Fords. It absolutely wasn't too much. She was sticking to that

Davies Manor - though Roger still hated that it was called that but changing it from the name Lavender had stuck on when they connected to the Floo Network was too much work - was full of rooms that didn't get much use. At the moment, the entire family was gathered around in the study. It wasn't a room they tended to congregate in too often. With Lily heading off and having a charmed trunk full of books, it just made the most sense. The fact that it was where the Floo opened up to was a bonus - and probably the only reason Linden could tolerate being in the room when he could be running around anywhere else

"Whoa-" David was beside himself, stepping out from the fireplace and wiping the soot from his shoulders. "This place is huge-"

"Hi Mister Davies-" Emmeline greeted with a tight wave, minding her manners just like her mother warned them both too. "LinDEN do you REALLY live here?"

Jemma flushed a slight pink before pushing them both lightly in front of her so she too could step from the fireplace. She rubbed at her nose briefly, making sure to rid herself of any soot, as she took in the room. It was a grand study, and it was beautiful. The amount of books filling the walls had her quite appreciative. But nothing caught her more than seeing Roger and who she presumed to be Lily, the focus on his face as he worked on her braids oddly endearing.

She smiled, taking in the sudden surrounding of five children and Roger.

"You say that as if I had any to begin with," she said, adjusting her purse on her shoulder.

"Yeah! This is the house!" Linden was practically vibrating in place. "You have to see the whole entire thingRoger sighed, knowing there was about to be a disaster of a tour happening. It could probably be worse, though. At least his kids liked to show off the stupidly large house they got to run
