Revna lifted the remains of the mutilated seat belt over her head stood up and moved away from the chair. “How am I supposed to explain that? Never mind don’t answer that question.” Revna kissed him on the cheek stepped to the hatch and opened it. Outside were a handful of the Edmans and a couple of McKenzies. Revna was nearly knocked off her feet by her mirror image, and spun around. “Hi Runa.” She hugged her twin who kissed her cheek held her at arm’s length and laughed. Runa’s voice dropped, “You are glowing and blushing.” She glanced at Mike as he appeared and she moved, hugging him and a whispered, “Thank you.” And then Runa disappeared inside the shuttle…

Revna took Mike’s hand and walked with him towards the waiting group. She scanned the faces, her parents, Uncle Oddvar, Ragna and who could only be Seamus, Kirsten and Devlin, Ada, there was one particular face she was looking for but didn’t see. She knew it had been a long shot, and she was glad she hadn’t said anything to Mike.

She headed for her parents who were already approaching. Helka walked right up to Mike, stared up at him, “Now son, I’m short and old, you have to come down here to me.” And once he did she wrapped him in a surprisingly strong hug and kisses his cheek. “Welcome home.”

Revna in the meantime had been swept up by her father into a massive bear hug. He leaned back and looked from her to Mike and nodded. “He’s good for you.” He turned and offered Mike his hand and then hugged him, clapping him on the back. Helka hugged Revna and whispered something to her that made Revna laugh.

“What in Freyr’s name happened in here?!” Runa stepped out of the shuttle and eyed Mike. Revna closed her eyes and counted to 10. “Hey Mike! Glad my wedding present was a hit!” She cackled and wandered off with a few of the others, laughing the whole way.

Revna looked at Mike. “Come on,” and she nodded towards Seamus and Ragna.
Revna and the rest

Mike followed her over and saw Seamus. Smiling, the two big men embraced each other for a long moment in silence. Seamus finally broke the hug and said “Michael… this is my wife Ragna. Also your wife’s sister… so I guess we really are brothers now!” Mike laughed and said “Naw… always were.” He looked down at Ragna and grinned and said “Mrs. McKenzie, its a real pleasure.”

Mike

Ragna cut a wicked side eye at Seamus and looked at Revna, “He was arguing with me over that earlier.” She turned to Mike as Revna hide a smirk. Ragna looked from Mike to Seamus, “He’s my brother now, I get to hug him, you are going to be okay with that.” She she tossed Seamus a cheeky grin before hugging Mike.

Revna rolled her eyes, “And since my husband has forgotten his manners, I’m the other Mrs McKenzie, but you call me Revna.” and gave Seamus a hug, and in the process, “So I appreciate the compliment about my chest Seamus, but Ragna’s better be the only one you’re looking at now.”

Then she turned to give Ragna a long hard knowing look. She hugged her sister and whispered to her, Mike and Seamus, wouldn’t hear but would see the blush that crossed Ragna’s face. “Ha! Knew it,” was all Revna said. She pulled back searching Ragna’s face before brushing hair out of her baby sister’s face before hugging her again.
