It seemed as if no sooner than Ian had came into the flat, everyone else was right behind him. The next thing he knew, Shelly had flung herself at him in an embrace, not even giving him the chance to hello before she somewhat demanded to know where he was.
Ian held up a hand. "Been around, Shells," he started. He didn't want to bring up the fact that Lacey had broken up with him just so she could be with one of her co-workers, but this was his family. "Lacey broke up with me," he said to her quietly, not really wanting the rest of the family to worry about it when Raven was the reason why they were gathered there.
Anna smiled when she saw Amy enter into the apartment, followed by Raven then Tabitha and Shelly. She moved to hug each of them, and stepped back for a moment, giving Raven a look that said that everything was going to be fine, and not to worry.
The tea kettle whistled, and Anna retreated back into the kitchen before coming back out into the living room with a tray of tea and cups filled with hot water for everyone. She took a cup and tea bag before settling down on the couch next to Liam.
