Cait was finally done baking and was giving the kitchen a good cleaning after her marathon baking sessions. The past three days had been spent baking, baking and baking. Saturnalia started tomorrow and she had to finish the baking before then. Cait couldn't exactly go out and buy everyone at the mansion a gift, so she baked goodies. She knew everyone's favorites and made sure to include some of each in her baking.

She looked at the clock. Mom, Dad and Twerp Minor should be here some time this afternoon. They always came for the start of Saturnalia and stayed until a few days after New Year's. There was the obligatory visit to Grandfather William's, which they never looked forward to, but it was one of those things that had to be done. The best part was always the Xavier's Institute Annual Snowball Fight on New Year's Day.

Cait wondered where Twerp Major was as she moved water and detergent across the floor with her powers.

"We haven't caused any wide scale destruction," Cait said. "But what Twerp Major said." Her brother had a knack for explaining things in different ways. "Let's get your bags upstairs and there's plenty of baked goods in the kitchen. Twerp Minor is staying with Twerp Major. We're almost at a full house."

"No wide scale destruction is always a good thing," Amara said with a smile. Corey and Cait were active kids and with their powers they had the potential to cause wide scale destruction.

"Yeah. We could live without the angry phone call from the Professor," Bobby said with a grin. "Full house? You get a lot of new kids in or something?"

"A few. And Lyta Worthington and Leech are both back."

Cait nodded. "Uncle Warren has a son," Cait said. The rumor mill was never quiet or still at Xavier's.

Bobby raised an eyebrow at that. "Really? I never knew about him having any other kids than Lyta. Then again...with the way Warren dates..." He rolled his eyes.

"Boys, how about you take the bags upstairs and we can catch up on the rumor mill when you get back down here."

"Got it, Mom." Corey reaches to help his brother with his suitcase and up they go.

"How was the flight?" Cait asked. Please don't bring up college.

Amara smiled. "I'm sure we'll hear all about Corey's environmental science class in a moment; might as well take the advantage to get a word in edgewise."

"School was fine. I got all B's." Cait shrugged. "He's doing well. Though he still has a problem staying focused and on topic. But that's Corey."

"I was like that too at his age," Bobby said with a grin, "He'll grow out of it. Bet you like having a month off in-between semesters."

Amara nodded amusedly, clearly blaming Corey's attention span completely on her husband.

Then a warning tone. "Bobby, if you're trying to segue into a discussion of declaring a major..."

"Actually I wanted to talk to the both of you about school. I'm taking a break from classes and joining the Coast Guard." Cue parent reaction in three seconds.

Bobby smirked. "Who? Me? Would I really do such a thing?"

He then blinked at Cait's declaration. "Is this...permanent?

Aaand the discussion of Bobby's bias toward accounting would have to wait. ...Possibly for quite some time.

"The Coast Guard?"

"I don't know if it's permanent. I do know that I can't sit in classes right now. I may go back after some time, but I'm not sure." She nodded. "I want to be out there doing something, helping others, and the Coast Guard seems like the logical choice."

This has come as a bit of shock to Bobby, there's no doubt there. "Okay," he said, trying to keep the color in his face, "If you think that's what you need to do right now, then you go do it." It could've been worse. She could be dropping out of college to backpack across Europe with some boy she met in her economics class.Or something like that.

"This seems like a very sudden decision," Amara says with a worried frown. "But I have to admit, the Coast Guard seems like it would suit you."

"It is, Dad." She turned toward her mother. "It's not sudden. I spent the whole semester sitting in classes and being miserable. This will be much better for me than sitting in class."

"Good...as long as you're doing this for you and not because of some boy." Bobby folded his arms over his chest. "You are doing this for you, right?" He's pretty sure that she but...always good to double-check.

"Bobby!" Amara frowns more now, actually, at this paternal paranoia. "She's explained her reasons. She wouldn't hide something like that."

"What?!" He shrugged. "I'm her dad. I'm supposed to worry about this kind of thing."

Cait rolled her eyes. Dad could be such a dad at times. "There's no boy except for Misha and you know I married him when I was five. I'm doing this because I want to do it."

She could really use some little brother intervention right about now.
