Family Dinner Genesis entered the dining room to see the men were already sitting with Egan waiting for her to join them .
Tadgh and Jerren were whispering back and forth while Kiefer was listening to Egan and Lorcan was simply watching on .
They all rose from their seats and Lorcan motioned to Egan .
Egan , when a lady enters the room , you get on your feet .
Its polite to greet your mother with respect and it lets her know youre glad to see her .
Egan frowned at him , but Granddad , I saw her ten minutes ago.
when she yelled at me to change my shirt .
Im not glad to see her .
She said shed take my tablet away .
Your shirt was stained with mustard on it , Kiefer moved to take Genesiss hand as he escorted her to the table , and she yelled because you were arguing .
I dont want to hear of you arguing with your mother again to the point she loses her cool and yells at you , especially when shes trying to teach you not to be a slob .
Your mother is typically a patient person so if youre making her snap , youve gone too far and there will be repercussions .
He presented her to his father by putting her hand in Lorcans extended one and she was surprised by the movement .
Whats a repercussion , Egan frowned at his father .
Family Dinner 2/10 A punishment , Tadgh moved to kiss Genesiss cheek before taking his seat next to Egan .
Also , rising to greet a guest isnt only meant for women .
Youll see when we have important .
guests visiting , it is customary .
There are rules in our family , Egan .
If you want to someday have the role which your Granddad has as the head of our family , then you need to learn not only the rules but how to obey and enforce them .
1 Fine , he grumbled as he flopped in his seat , but I still think its weird to be greet Mom when I saw her upstairs .
You will be starting school tomorrow .
Kiefer ruffled Egans hair as he walked back around the table to take the seat immediately to his fathers right .
Are you excited ? No.
I miss my old friends .
You will make new ones , Genesis laughed .
You never have trouble making friends anywhere you go .
This will be no different .
Remember when we went to Banff , and we were there a week , and you made so many friends the hotel staff needed to get you all a bigger table for your games .
I guess .
Egan sighed .
I hope the math teacher isnt stupid .
Im sure if she is , your Dad can arrange for extra lessons like I did for you in Calgary .
Extra lessons ? Kiefer asked curiously not even questioning the way his father took his seat but pulled Genesis to his lap .
Family Dinner 3/10 Genesis didnt want to draw attention to it because if she treated it as a normal process , perhaps Egan wouldnt have too many questions about the way Lorcan was holding her .
Instead of arguing , she sat on Lorcans lap sideways , as he curled his hand around her waist possessively .
Im good at math and science , Egan gave a dramatic flip of hist hands , and my teachers are always too far behind .
Mom hired .
a guy from the university to teach me math the older students .
were doing .
What level of math is he doing ? Lorcan asked Genesis .
curiously .
Tenth grade , she gave Egan a wink .
He is advanced in all his classes , reading is around a fifth or sixth grade level for the most part , writing and grammar a bit lower but the science and math hes gifted is the word the teachers use .
Were you good at math , Dad ? I was exceptionally good at math , better at sciences , especially health sciences and biology .
Do you know who else is a math genius ? Granddad ? Granddad for sure but , Kiefer pointed at Tadgh , When Tadgh was your age , we used to get a calculator out and put numbers in and see who could compute the numbers faster and Tadgh almost always won .
Family Dinner 4/10 Egan looked at his uncle excitedly .
Could you teach me extra math if Im bored in my class ? Definitely .
Tadgh draped his hand over the back of Egans chair .
You know what else Tadgh can do , Genesis told Egan , he can play the guitar and sing really well .
Really ? Yup .
He sang me songs last night .
It was very romantic .
You sang for a girl ? Egan made a face of disgust .
Why ? ag Because it made your mom smile and I love seeing her smile .
Also , Tadgh grinned , your mom gave me kisses for every song I sang her .
Im never going to kiss girls .
Why not ? Lorcan asked him .
Girls are gross .
No , theyre not .
All the men chuckled at Egans words .
Lorcan commented , Girls smell good .
Ones like your Mom have smiles which can light up a whole room .
Some girls , Lorcan leaned forward as if sharing a big secret , can even make you feel really good in here .
He tapped his chest over his heart .
How ? Egan eyed him dubiously .
Mom doesnt always smell Family Dinner good either .
Sometimes shes gassy .
5/10 Tadgh snickered as Kiefer looked away as if trying not to laugh .
Jerren cleared his throat and stared at her plate unable to look up .
Egan ! she snapped at him .
Im only saying , Mom , these guys havent been stuck in a car with you for a long time when youve eaten sprouts .
Okay .
She snapped at him , dont be rude .
Im not rude .
Im only saying Granddad isnt aware you dont always smell good .
She was going to strangle the little beast .
She looked at Lorcan , do you believe this ? Hes not appreciative .
Someday hell understand .
Lorcan laughed and then winked at Egan , though I might be inclined to ensure I never get stuck in a car with your mother after she eats sprouts .
If you have to , bring a gas mask .
Egan ! How about we change the subject , Kiefer spoke up .
Your mom , Tadgh , Jerren , and I are going to go practice shooting guns .
Have you ever shot a gun ? Family Dinner No but Ive gone with Mom when shes practiced .
I have to wear the noise protection things on my head .
Would you like to come with us ? 6/10 Genesis gave Kiefer a worried glance and he didnt look away from it .
He needs to learn .
At his age , Tadgh , Jerren , and I were shooting cans and bottles with a BB gun .
He can get a BB gun .
Hell shoot his eye out .
He will not if put eye protection on him and make sure he understands gun safely , Lorcan corrected her with a squeeze to her waist .
Its better to start teaching him now , Genesis .
We also want him to start doing some self defence training .
Why ? she saw the way Egan was getting excited with this discussion , and it made her cringe internally .
Hes only six , Lorcan .
He is only six but the risk to his wellbeing , he censored his words , doesnt care hes only six .
He is the heir to a billion dollar empire , not to mention third in line as head of the Iron Force Gang .
Its a dumb name , she muttered under her breath and gasped when Lorcan pinched her ass for the comment .
It is .
It sounds like something a preteen came up with in nineteen ten while reading a comic book .
Family Dinner Graphic novel , Tadgh winked at her .
7/10 It is our heritage and our pride .
Well need to get you a tattoo with it .
Lorcan teased her .
Once its on your skin youll appreciate it .
Sounds like a branding .
Lorcan looked at his sons , our girl is hangry .
He kissed her cheek .
Dinner will be out soon , cranky lady .
Do I need to take you into the other room to improve your mood ? She frowned , no .
She wriggled on his lap at the threat .
It will be a repercussion for being cranky , Egan tossed out as he played with his fork .
You could spank her if she keeps .
getting cranky , Granddad .
She never spanked me before , but I saw a kid in my class get spanked by his mother for being .
mouthy .
Youre like the big Dad in the house .
You could spank her .
The choking sounds around the table made Genesis inhale .
sharply as four grown men tried valiantly and without any kind .
of success not to laugh at the boys commentary .
Good grief , she closed her eyes .
I think I would love to tattoo you though , Lorcan rubbed her arm .
Mom has my name and Roans name tattooed on her back , Egan said matter of factly .
Family Dinner I know .
She showed me .
Lorcan nodded .
Id love to pul the OReilly name right here , he tapped her right above the breastbone .
Why ? she questioned him .
The same reason he was telling us carlier he wants to put Daddys Princess on you , Kiefer snorted ..
She met Lorcans gaze , and he smiled back with no shame .
Really ? Yes .
Huh .
She frowned , and you tattoo people? Hes done most of our ink , Jerren tossed in .
Hes very talented .
Just getting the boys names hurt .
8/10 Youre tough and you can take it .
Lorcan commented .
Your skin is like a blank canvas .
Not anymore , Tadgh smirked .
Tadgh , Genesis gave him a warning glance .
Two housekeepers came into the space pushing a trolley of food , cutting off further conversation .
As Egan was distracted , exclaiming excitedly to his father about the meal finally arriving , Family Dinner Lorcan whispered in her ear .
What did Tadgh do ? 9/10 They both added to your marks , she whispered back in his ear .
Did you like it ? She nodded .
Good girl .
He kissed her forehead .
He cleared his throat , put Genesis , plate here , please .
He motioned beside his own dish .
Granddad why is Mom sitting on your lap to eat her dinner .
Shes a big girl .
Because for a long time , your mom didnt have anyone to take care of , Egan .

It makes me feel like Im being a good Daddy by taking care of her now .
Your mom deserves to have someone make her feel special and secure .
Egan shrugged as if the explanation made sense .
Genesis kissed Lorcans check softly , thank you .
For what ? For making this normal in front of him .
It is normal , my love .
He reassured her .
The more he sees us all behaving like a loving family , the less questions he will have .
When I am home for meals , this is where I would like you to be .
Family Dinner Please .
10/10 She nodded sheepishly .
Okay but you do realize youre spoiling me by being so attentive .
When you arent here , I might miss .
you .
I hope you do .
He hugged her to his chest .
Now , lets have dinner .
Once Egan is in bed , I want the four of us to spend some time together as adults .
For now , though , lets enjoy being the family we are .
Genesis agreed quietly and adjusted on his lap .
If this was going to be her new normal , maybe it wasnt going to be so bad after all .
