Day Nine

                                    

                                          
Maggie went into the family room where all of her sons and their significant others were gathered. "Sleeping arrangements. Since we have five bedrooms, and since I have rules, only married people we be staying in the same rooms. Sean, Peter, and Henry will take Sean's room, and Katie, Rebecca, and Lia will have Henry's. It'll be tight but this is what happens when there's twelve of us." Sean slung his arm around his mom and kissed her on the cheek.
                          
"Good night Henry. Good night Lia." Rosie said. "See you in the morning!"
                          
"Sleep tight Rosie. Goodnight, Nate." He waved at Cecelia and then they ascended the stairs.
                          
"Sleep well." Beth said. She had come down for a while after she brought Chris upstairs.
                          
"See you upstairs, mate." Peter said as he went up with Sean. "See you, Lia."
                          
"We'll show you where the room is Lia." Katie said.
                          
Henry whispered in Cecelia's ear. "Well, goodnight Lia." He used her new nickname for the first time and kissed her forehead. 
                          
She went up the stairs with Katie and Rebecca.
                          
They turned left at the top of the stairs. The hall was painted a light cream color but the floor and doors were all dark wood. 
"Maggie and Clark's room is downstairs but all of the boys rooms are up here. Sean and Nathan's bedrooms are on that end of the hall." The girls motioned from where they had come. "This is Peter's room" Rebecca rapped on the door with her knuckles but kept walking. They passed a bathroom with a double sink and walk-in shower. "This is Henry's room, and that room at the end is Chris's." Katie added. 
                          
"So who is older than who?" Cecelia asked. "I know Henry's the youngest."
                          
"Chris is the oldest, followed by Nate, then Sean, then Peter, then Henry." Katie replied.
                          
Cecelia nodded and followed Rebecca inside. It was cute. A bed, she guessed queen sized, was in the middle of the space. A large dresser, taller than it was wide sat on the opposite wall. A few more pieces of furniture were situated around the room; a bookcase, a desk, and a comfy looking armchair. 


                          
"Do you have a preference on which side of the bed you want?"
                          
"No, I'm flexible."

                          
"I bet you are." said Rebecca. Katie laughed, "Becks, stop."

                          
"No, you right Rebecca. I am." She noticed her bag was already in the room. "Who brought our bags up already?"

                          
"My guess is Maggie or she got Clark to do it. They're great, aren't they?"

                          
"Yeah, they really are." She went over to her bag and got out her toothbrush and toothpaste. "Be back in a few."

                          
...
                          
She walked in the bathroom to see Henry and Nate. When Nate saw Cecelia he quickly grabbed his toothbrush and left, patting Henry on the back.
                          
"He could've stayed. I can wait." She moved closer to the sink...and Henry.
                          
"We were just catching up. He's a professor you know."
                          
"I didn't. Of what?"
                          
"Art." He put his toothbrush, already with toothpaste, in his mouth.
                          
"Really? Interesting, I might have to pick his brain sometime." She squeezed toothpaste on to her own brush. 
                          
"He'd like that. He loves to talk about himself." He spit.
                          
"I bet he's not the only Cavill brother like that." She started to brush her teeth. He looked at her, a smirk growing on his face. He put the toothbrush back into his mouth.
