Author's Note: Hey kids. I'm alive...? I know. I won't make excuses. This chapter... bah. It was killinggggg meeeee. I really wanted to give you guys the best I possibly could and probably put way too much pressure on myself in the process. This is it. This is the end. I've really tried to let it simmer, see what I think of it, make sure it's up to snuff. Honestly, this story doesn't really want to end. But, I think this is the best I can do. So anyway. Thank you to each and every one of you that have favorited/alerted/reviewed/read this story. It was simply a past-time and became a hell of a lot more. Biggest thank yous of all to... coffee-ink-fire, SilverMoonlit, Rhanon Brodie, Valerie E. Mackin, Aisling Isobel, PiercedHeart114, "Anonnie", "Lucy"... you guys have been everything to me and I thank you. And specifically for this chapter, I want to thank Valerie E. Mackin, "Lucy" and AislingIsobel. You each listened to me whine incessantly and bounced ideas with me and just helped me. This chapter would have never happened without you guys. So seriously. Thank you SO MUCH.
Disclaimer: I do not have any claim to Boondock Saints/All Saints Day/Connor/Murphy or any other character that appears in the film. That belongs to Troy Duffy who I am so jealous of his brilliance. You may recognize different pieces of this story from the second movie, but I did try to put my own little twist on it if you will. Any song titles or lyrics do not belong to me. Ashes & Wine is A Fine Frenzy. Lucky is Bif Naked. Also, this little work is unbeta'd. All mistakes belong to good ol' me.
Disclaimer2: I know less than nothing about babies and pregnancy. I don't know much more about weddings. So... this is what you get. Ha.
Chapter 31 (Lucky):
"It's time, to say, thank God for you... I thank God for you... in each and every single way... and I know... I know... I know... I know... it's time to let you know, time to let you know, time to let you know, time to sit here and say... I know we are, we are the lucky ones..."
I straightened the veil over Ava's head and smiled. "Perfect," I told her, taking a step back and resting my hand on my stomach, gently rubbing circles with my thumb. My stomach had been tightening with cramps all morning, but I figured it was nerves for the impending ceremony.
She turned to look in the mirror, smoothing her hands over the simple white sheath. "I can't believe I'm getting married," she murmured for what seemed like the thousandth time.
I grinned at her. "Pretty crazy," I agreed. "But pretty awesome."
"Do you think I'm doing the right thing?" she asked.
I cocked my head to the side, regarding her carefully, my smile fading. "You having doubts?" I asked, a note of concern in my voice.
She sighed and looked back at the mirror, clasping her fingers in front of her mouth. "I don't know," she whispered. "It's scary… and it's so quick."
I gave her an encouraging smile. "That was your choice. You didn't have to get married out the gate."
She chewed her lower lip and looked down at her feet, her mascaraed lashes lowered. "Yeah…"
"And," I continued. "Technically, this is probably a long time coming. If it weren't for the not so brief hiatus, you may have been married years ago," I pointed out. "I mean, you love Murph, right?"
Her eyes darted to me and she scowled. "Of course I do."
I shrugged. "So, if things were normal... this probably would have already happened," I told her, grabbing my bouquet off the table and straightening the flowers, occupying my hands.
She gave me a side eye, a smirk pulling at the corner of her mouth. "When did you get to be so wise?"
I shrugged. "Impending motherhood, perhaps?" I replied, gently setting the bouquet back down.
Ava snorted and smoothed her hands over her dress. "Okay… I think I'm ready."
I grinned. "Good. You look beautiful by the way," I told her as I helped her move the veil to cover her face.
"You don't look half bad yourself," she returned.
"Not too blimpy?" I asked, glancing at myself in the mirror and wrinkling my nose, turning from side to side.
She scoffed and waved her hand. "Shut up, you are all belly. And pregnancy suits you." She gave me a look. "And you've had the easiest pregnancy ever."
I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "Whatever. Enough about me. Today is all about you, my friend." I grinned at her. "Let's get you married!"
We both turned to a knock at the door and I walked over, peeking out. I grinned as I had to look down to see Aiden fidgeting on the other side. "What's up little man?"
He wrung his hands together, looking up at me, his eyes wide. "Da and Uncle Conn want to know what's taking so long..."
I smirked. "Not everyone wakes up pretty like those two," I told him.
"Can I see mama?" he asked hopefully.
I nodded. "Of course, little dude. You are the one walking her down the aisle, aren't ya?" I opened the door a little wider and motioned for him to enter the room, quickly shutting it behind him in case a MacManus was lurking around the corners attempting to get a peek.
"Mama! You look like a princess!" Aiden exclaimed, shuffling over to her.
Ava grinned and bent down to press a kiss to his cheek. "Thank you baby," she said, chuckling as he wiped at the lipstick smudge she left behind.
"Where are your dad and uncle anyway?" I asked, resting my hands over my stomach, linking my fingers.
"They're at the front of the church with great-uncle Sibeal," he replied.
I nodded. "Good." I looked up at Ava. "We ready?"
She took a deep breath and one last glance in the mirror before turning back and giving me a nod. "We're ready," she replied, grasping Aiden's hand tightly.
I slowly made my way down the aisle, the soft music playing in the background, bouquet of wildflowers gripped in my hands. "Just don't trip," I thought to myself, focusing on the carpet in front of me, my stomach still clenching. I took a deep breath and forced myself to look up. I smirked when I saw Murphy, his expression anxious and his hands wringing together. He was clearly fidgeting, bouncing on the balls of his feet and I wasn't sure he even saw me walking towards them. When my eyes moved to Connor, my breath lodged in my throat and my heart skipped a beat. His blue eyes were filled with an intensity I had never seen before, his gaze never wavering. His light brown hair was perfectly tousled and he was dressed in a simple black suit, forever matching his brother. I swallowed thickly and lowered my gaze, biting my lower lip. I briefly paused as my stomach clenched, the feeling stronger than before, but managing to fade. I took a deep breath and continued moving. I lifted my eyes again, catching Connor's gaze. His brow furrowed and I shook my head, silently telling him not to worry. He frowned but gave a small nod, his eyes moving to my stomach before he returned his focus to my face.
I finally made it to the altar and took my spot to Sibeal's right, giving him a smile that he returned. There was a key change and suddenly Pachelbel's Canon began to play. I noticed Murphy stiffen at the familiar tune and we all gazed down the aisle as Ava made her way towards us, Aiden's hand gripped tightly in hers. I felt tears sting at my eyes as I watched my best friend make her way down towards one of the men that had changed our entire lives, his eyes fixed on her in an expression of wonder and awe. I felt Connor's gaze on me again and I flashed my eyes to his. He cocked his head to the side, regarding me carefully.
"You okay?" he mouthed.
I nodded. "Just happy," I mouthed back.
He gave me a grin, his eyes sparkling and crinkling at the sides. "I love you."
I quickly wiped a tear from my eye with my thumb. "I love you too."
Ava and Aiden reached the altar and Murphy stepped down, offering Ava his elbow which she gladly took. Aiden stepped to the side and Connor quickly lifted him up in his arms, sharing the position of Murphy's best man.
"We are gathered 'ere taday en da sigh' o' Go'…"
I tried to listen to Sibeal's wedding spiel and pay attention but was distracted by a sharp pain in my lower abdomen, the cramps seeming to suddenly intensify. I quietly sucked in a breath. "Must be a false alarm," I thought to myself as it started to fade. I glanced up to see Connor's eyes fixed on me, his expression full of concern. I forced a smile and shook my head, nodding towards Murphy and Ava. He frowned and shook his head lightly. I hissed as I felt another contraction roll through me. "No, no, no, I still have three weeks," I thought to myself, my teeth cutting into my bottom lip. I squeezed my eyes shut, my free hand fisting in my dress.
"Ow," I grunted, my knees buckling and I felt myself falling to the ground.
"I go' ye," Connor whispered in my ear, his arms at my waist as I fell against him, both of us moving to the floor. I hadn't even seen him move.
Murphy, Ava and Sibeal stared down at me, concern etched over each of their faces.
"Aunt Kher?" Aiden breathed, his face level with my own.
I grit my teeth at the pressure bearing down on my stomach, the base of my spine seeming to stiffen. "I'm fine," I bit out, trying to breathe and relieve some pressure.
Ava shook her head and kneeled next to me. "Kher, I don't think you are."
My eyes widened as I felt a pop and liquid between my legs, my eyes filling with tears. "No, no, no," I muttered, my hand moving to Connor's arm and gripping it tight. "It's happening too fast…"
"Wha' es et, lass?" Connor asked, a note of fear in his voice.
"I think my water just broke," I whispered.
The pain was like nothing I'd ever felt before. I couldn't even describe it. "Connor," I groaned, my hand tightening on his to the point I felt the bones move beneath his skin.
"Fuck, Kher, ye go' a grip o' ye," he muttered, his other hand reaching to brush the hair from my forehead.
I let out a breath as the pain faded, my head sinking into the pillow. I glanced up as Dr. Grant made his way into the room, dressed in pale sea green scrubs. "How we doin' in here?" he asked, giving me a smile.
"I think we're a little early," I replied as Connor gently wiped the sweat from my brow.
"Th' babe ain't 'posed ta be 'ere fer anudder tree weeks, righ'?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.
Dr. Grant nodded. "We do seem to be a little ahead of schedule. How far apart are your contractions, Kherington?"
I swallowed. "About 7 minutes apart, I think."
"And how painful are they?"
"'nough ta make 'er break me 'and," Connor offered.
I shot him a glare. "You will never understand what this is like," I hissed at him.
He shrunk away from me, holding up his free hand. "Yer kin' o' scarin' me, lass," he muttered, looking down at the floor.
I turned my attention to Dr. Grant. "Please tell me this is almost over."
He gave me a reassuring smile. "That's up to your baby. But I will tell you that if you keep up at this rate, you'll have a baby within a few hours."
I forced a smile, tightening my grip on Connor's hand as my vision became blurry. "Connor...?" I murmured.
I heard the brogue of his response, but couldn't make out the words, my vision becoming distorted as suddenly, I lost consciousness.
"Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey."
I jolted awake, my head flying up from my arms. "Ow," I whimpered as I hit the corner of a low hanging light. I glanced around, realizing that instead of the small florescent lit room with Dr. Grant and Connor, I was seated at a bar, the air smoky and the lighting dim. "The fuck?" I muttered. I swallowed and bit my lower lip, my hand drifting to lay on my stomach. It suddenly occurred to me that I wasn't feeling the pain I had before. I glanced down and sucked in a panicked breath when I saw that my stomach was completely flat.
"Don't worry. The little fuckers are where they're supposed to be."
I looked up at the bartender to ask what he was talking about and my eyes widened as my jaw went slack in recognition. "Rocco?" I breathed.
He gave me his classic goofy grin, his eyes covered by dark lenses. "How the fuck ya doin' chick?"
I looked around. "Am I...?"
He gave a nod. "Yeah, you're dreamin'. I wouldn't look this fuckin' good otherwise, would I?" He glanced back at a mirrored wall behind him. "Best fuckin' thing about dyin'? Ya don't fuckin' age!" He turned back to me and leaned over the bartop.
I swallowed. "I'm not dead, am I?"
He snorted. "No, ya ain't dead. Just a little out of commission at the moment. Thought I could take the time and talk to ya since the boys don't seem to want to listen to the good ol' funny man."
I bit my lower lip and tilted my head to the side. "What are you talking about?"
Rocco sighed and grabbed a bottle of whiskey from under the bar along with two shot glasses. He filled each and slid one towards me before lifting the other. "Sláinte," he offered, clinking against the other glass and throwing the shot back, setting the glass back on the bartop before looking at me expectantly.
"What?" I asked.
"Take the fuckin' shot and then we can talk," he pressed.
I rolled my eyes but took the shot, wincing slightly at the burn. I set down the glass and wiped my mouth on the back of my hand. "Now talk," I rasped.
Rocco grinned and moved from behind the bar. "Let's take a fuckin' walk," he told me, offering his elbow.
I slid off the stool and let him lead me out of the bar into the sunshine. "Are we in Boston?" I asked, looking up at the Italian.
"Fuckin' right we are," he answered, waving his free arm in the air. "It's fuckin' paradise. All the great things about Boston, none of the fuckin' bad."
I snorted. "This is your heaven?"
"Fuckin' A right it is." He wiped his nose on his sleeve and glanced down at me. "But enough about that shit. We ain't havin' much time before I gotta let your tiny ass wake up."
I furrowed my brow. "Okay, so talk."
Rocco sat down on a bench and pulled me down next to him, his arm along the back. "How long you expecting those two Micks to stay out of the crosshairs, hmmm?"
I cut my eyes at him. "What are you talking about?"
He smirked, shaking his hair out of his face. "I'm talking about Connor and Murphy and the… I guess you would call it… 'family business'," he replied, complete with air quotes.
I swallowed. "They wanted to stop…"
Rocco shook his head. "Look, I ain't sayin' they're not tired. Fuck, they've been doin' this shit for awhile now, they should be. And maybe part of them does think they're done with it. But they're not. They're gonna get restless soon. Hell, they already are, think you know that. Connor and Murphy ain't the stay-at-home daddy type any more than their old man was."
I bit my lower lip and furrowed my brow. "So… what are you telling me?"
"Think you know what I'm telling you," he replied.
I sighed and leaned my head back on his arm, staring up at the blue sky. "What do you expect me to do? And why does everyone think I can convince Connor of anything?"
Rocco chuckled and ruffled my hair. "Because you fuckin' can. You tell that kid the sky is purple and made of fuckin' marshmallows? He'd eventually believe ya."
I scowled and leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees, my hands clasped in front of me. "And why would I want to convince him to go back?"
I shifted my eyes to meet Rocco's as he moved into my peripheral. "'Cause ya know he's got to."
I snorted and shook my head. "Roc, I don't want him to die at some piece of trash's hand. He's safe. He's better than that."
Rocco nudged me lightly. "If he was gonna die, he fuckin' would've that first time out at Copley Plaza. Ain't nothin' gonna happen that isn't supposed to, I fuckin' promise you that."
I cut my eyes at him. "How can you promise me that?."
He smirked and lifted his hand, lowering his glasses down his nose to meet my gaze. "I'm fuckin' dead sweetheart, I have a bit more information then you might think." He pushed the glasses back up his nose. "I'm gonna put it to you this way, girlie. You can either get 'em to go back now or watch when they're pulled back into it anyway and they ain't prepared. I'm just givin' you a fuckin' heads up."
I regarded Rocco in silence, chewing my lower lip absently. "So... there's really no choice in this?"
He shrugged and pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it and taking a drag. "Not really. Can't stop a callin', can ya?" he asked after he exhaled the smoke. He glanced up at the sky. "Think I'm about outta fuckin' time with you, Kher," he muttered. He pushed himself to his feet and turned toward me, the cigarette hanging out of the side of his mouth. "Just think about it, alright?"
I swallowed and nodded slowly. "I'll give it some thought," I replied, my voice soft as I stood in front of him. I looked up at him and forced a smile. "We miss you, Roc," I told him.
He gave me a grin and pulled me into a hug, lifting me off the ground. "Don't worry. I'm never that fuckin' far." He pressed a kiss to my temple before settling me back on my feet and taking a step back. "Catch ya on the flip side, Kher... but I hope it ain't for awhile," he told me before turning and making his way down the sidewalk.
I sighed and looked down at my feet, squeezing my eyes shut.
"C'mon, Kher, wake up..."
"Aunt Kher?"
"'mon, lass, open yer eyes fer me."
I let out a groan. "Will you all just shut up?" I rasped, slowly opening my eyes, wincing as the bright light cut into them.
"Tank Go'," Connor breathed, leaning down and pressing a kiss to my forehead.
I looked around and saw Murphy, Ava and Aiden surrounding the bed as well, Murphy and Ava still in their wedding clothes, each holding a bundle in their arms. "Where's my baby?" I whispered.
Murphy grinned, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Which one?"
I looked up at Connor. "What did I miss?"
His eyes looked tired. "Ye passed ou' o' me, lass," he replied. "The Doc sai' ye were goin' ta be alrigh', bu' wi' ye ou' like ye were..." He ran a hand through his hair. "'ad ta cut ye open, ge' dem ou'."
"Them?" I asked, my eyes wide.
He grinned. "Aye." He looked up at Murphy. "Le' me lass see 'im."
Murphy moved closer to the side as I carefully sat up. He gently pressed the sleeping bundle into my arms. I looked down and felt my heart seem to swell at the tiny baby. He opened his mouth in a yawn and his eyes slowly opened. "Omigod..." I murmured.
"Lord's name," Connor told me gently, sitting on the bed next to me, a bundle in his arms as well. "Ye gave me two wee lads, lass."
I looked at the other baby, a lump growing in my throat. I moved my eyes to meet Connor's and pressed a kiss to his mouth. "We did good, MacManus," I told him quietly, my voice thick.
"Aye, we did," he whispered back as we both turned our attention back to the babies.
"Did you name them?" I asked, gently tracing my fingers over the baby's features.
"No' ye', he replied. "Know we came up wi' one, bu' wa' waitin' fer ye when I saw we 'ad two."
I bit my lower lip and looked up, noticing that Murphy, Ava and Aiden had quietly left the room. I took a deep breath and looked at Connor. "Declan Noah and Kieran David MacManus."
Connor raised an eyebrow. "I ge' th' Noah, lass... bu' why David?"
I shrugged. "We've had some special Davids in our time, haven't we?"
His gaze softened. "Roc an' Greenbeans?"
I smiled. "May they rest in peace."
Connor met my grin and moved his gaze back to the baby in his arms. "Well, den. Welcome ta th' world, Kieran," he murmured, gently rocking the bundle.
I looked down at the baby in my own grasp. "Guess that makes you Declan," I whispered, pressing a kiss to his head. A thought suddenly crossed my mind and I looked up at Connor. "Which one came first?"
He grinned at me. "Only me an' da goo' doc know dat fer sure," he replied. "An' dats th' way et's stayin'."
*3 Months Later*
I pulled open the door and gave Ava a tired smile. "Thanks for coming by," I told her, shifting Kieran on my hip. I stepped to the side and let her and Aiden pass, shutting the door behind them.
"No problem," she replied. "Where's Dec?"
I shook my head. "I just managed to put him down and for once he's sleeping." I shifted my gaze to Kieran. "And now this one doesn't want to sleep, which is rare." Kieran let out a coo, grabbing my hair in his fist and pulling. "Ow," I grunted, moving to gently pry his fingers off. "That hurts baby."
"Can I hold Kieran?" Aiden asked hopefully, bouncing on the balls of his feet.
I smiled. "You know the rules bubba."
He leapt onto the couch and held out his arms. I shook my head and walked over, gently laying the baby in Aiden's arms. "Remember, be gentle. And let me know if he starts squirming."
Aiden didn't seem to even hear me as he started muttering at Kieran, making him laugh his baby giggles. I smiled and crossed back to Ava. "You sure you're okay staying here?" I asked, my eyes on the two on the couch.
Ava shrugged. "It's fine. Plus it's your turn to drag them back home."
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, working out the tangles. "Did Murphy call you?"
She rolled her eyes and leaned against the recliner, crossing her arms over her chest. "Just to say that he would be late." She shook her head. "I think part of it is that they can't stand to be apart for too long."
I grabbed my coat off a hook by the door. "It was Connor's brilliant idea to move us in here. I think he's regretting it, but he won't admit it."
Ava sighed and glanced over at Aiden and Kieran. "We need to find a house that will hold all of us." She glanced down at her stomach. "Maybe with a few rooms to spare."
I slipped my coat over my shoulders and raised an eyebrow. "We are like a really effed version of the Brady Bunch these days."
She chuckled. "You ain't lying." She patted her stomach. "I can only hope this is a girl. I'm tired of being outnumbered."
I opened my mouth to reply but was cut off by Declan's shrill cry filling the air. I let out a groan. "Dammit," I moaned.
Ava shook her head. "Head into town. I'll take care of Dec. He and Kieran probably just miss their dad. Totally screwing up their schedules."
I sighed and nodded, glancing down the hall as Ava made her way towards the twins' room. I shifted my gaze to Aiden. "You gonna take care of my boys, little man?"
He nodded. "I got this, Aunt Kher," he told me sagely.
I chuckled and walked over kissing the top of his head. "I know you do." I shifted my gaze to Kieran and gently ran my finger down his cheek. "You behave," I told him softly. He turned his face to me and gave me a gummy smile, his blue eyes sparkling at me as he giggled. I smiled back and stood up, zipping the coat and turning to see Ava holding Declan to her shoulder, bouncing him gently. "And how's my other boy?" I asked, crossing the room and taking him from her arms to say good-bye.
"I think someone just felt left out," Ava murmured.
I smiled and kissed the top of Declan's head. "You be good, Dec," I murmured, cuddling him close to my chest. I sighed and breathed in his baby powder smell before gently giving him back to Ava. "I told Aiden he's the man of the house while I'm gone," I informed her with a grin.
She chuckled and glanced at the couch. "Hopefully he can keep us all in line," she replied, letting Declan gnaw on her finger.
I sighed. "Alright, I'm off. Hopefully they'll be ready to go," I told her, moving towards the door.
"Yeah, good luck with that," she replied.
I chuckled and ducked out the door into the night.
I stuck my head in the conference room to see Connor and Murphy's backs where they were leaned over a table.
"Tink ef 'e goes dis way, 'e shoul' be alrigh'," Murphy muttered, pointing.
Connor shook his head. "Too narrow. 'e'll ne'er ma' et fas' 'nough."
They continued mumbling back and forth. I leaned in the doorway, my arms crossed over my chest. "Ahem," I finally interrupted.
They both glanced over their shoulders and Connor gave me a grin. "An' wha' are ye doin' 'ere, love?"
I chuckled and walked over, shoving my way in between them. "Time for you two to come home. Or at least take a break." I glanced at the blueprints on the table. "What's going on this time?"
Murphy sighed. "Romeo's goin' o' 'is own tamarra," he replied as Connor started rolling up the papers.
I looked over at Murphy. "You don't sound thrilled... where is it?"
"New York," he replied, leaning his hip against the table.
"So, what's the problem?" I asked, a smile pulling at my mouth as Connor brushed his lips over my collarbone before walking to the other side of the room.
Murphy shrugged. "Not'ing."
"Murph's a bi' jealous," Connor cut in.
Murphy scowled at his twin. "I jus' don' tink 'e shoul' go 'lone, dat's all?"
I smirked. "You worried about your Mexican?" I asked as Connor draped his arm over my shoulders.
His scowl deepened. "I go' ta ta' 'buse from ye no' too?"
I pouted at him. "Awe, Murph, you know I love you."
He rolled his eyes and moved to leave the room. "'m goin' ta go tal' ta Smecker befer we go," he muttered, ducking out of the conference room, leaving Connor and I alone.
I turned in his arm and draped my arms over his shoulders. "And how are you?"
He smirked and kissed me lightly on the nose. "Bett' no'. Didn' 'spect ta see ye dow' 'ere."
I shrugged. "Someone had to come get you."
"Th' lads alrigh'?" he asked, moving his hands to my hips, his fingers splayed on my back under my shirt.
I nodded, running my fingers through the hair on the back of his head. "They just miss their da," I replied. "I kinda miss him too, actually."
"Es dat righ'?" he asked, blocking me in against the table and pressing his lips to mine. I groaned quietly as his tongue swept over my lips and opened my mouth to him. He pulled back, resting his forehead against my own and slowly opened his eyes. "I missed ye as well," he whispered.
I gave him a smile. "Well, you'll just have to show me how much you missed me when we get home, won't you?"
He chuckled and pressed a kiss to my forehead. "Aye, I tink I ca' do dat."
"Did you get your planning done?" I asked, pushing myself onto the table and pulling him between my thighs.
He nodded. "Aye, Rome shoul' be se'."
I snagged my fingers through his beltloops. "Why is Paul sending him alone?"
Connor rested his palms on the table, boxing me in. "No' sure. Says et's a simple in an' ou'."
I cocked my head to the side. "And what do you think?"
The side of his mouth lifted in a half-smile. "I tink yer goin' ta tell me wha' I tink."
I rolled my eyes. "I think you agree with Murphy."
He sighed. "Aye."
I gently moved my hands up his chest to rest on his shoulders. "Do you agree because you're worried or because you want to go?"
His eyes met mine. "Bi' o' both," he murmured.
I nodded slowly. "Can't say I'm surprised," I replied. "Old habits die hard." I moved a hand to his cheek and smiled. "Just 9 more months, okay?"
He nodded slowly, his eyes focused on the necklace he had given me years ago. "I don' 'ave ta go 'f ye don' wan' me ta," he murmured meeting my eyes.
I shrugged. "Conn, you and I both knew that you weren't going to be out of this forever, even if we couldn't admit it."
"Aye... still can' belie' yer tryin' ta be alrigh' wi' et," he admitted, his hands moving to my hips.
"I want you to be happy, Conn. And it's not that different than if you were in the military or law enforcement... right?" I asked.
He snorted and shook his head. "Ef dat's 'ow ye wan' ta loo' a' et."
"There's no reason you can't have both," I murmured, pulling him closer, brushing my nose over his. "You'll make the world better and then you'll come home to me and the twins. Win-win. I just want to have you to myself just a little longer. I only want to share you with the babies. And then, when the time comes, you and Murphy can be the Saints again. But you'll always have a place to come home to." I kissed him softly, my nails gently scratching over the back of his neck.
He pulled back, his hands moving to cup cheeks. "Ye ne'er di' tell me wha' changed yer mind..."
I smiled and shrugged. "Sure I did," I replied, Rocco's face flashing through my mind. "A little divine intervention. You should understand that."
He chuckled and opened his mouth to reply.
"Why don' ye try an' kee' et clea'?"
I chuckled and glanced at Murphy over Connor's shoulder. "Now, Murph, what's the fun in that? Tell me..."
He grinned. "Why don' ye sto' fuckin' 'roun' so we ca' ge' 'ome already?"
Connor snorted and looked at me. "Read' ta go 'ome lass?"
I grabbed his hand and laced our fingers together. "Let's go home."
Anonnie: Haha, well I'm glad I threw in a bit of a surprise for you. I hope the names work for you and you weren't disappointed. Hope that streak continues. :) You've been one of my faithful followers and I can't do that to ya (disappoint, I mean). And Conn does have some time to make up for, doesn't he? Let's see how it goes shall we...?
Lucy: Hope this works for you my friend!
AN3: So... there it is. There you have it. I can't believe it's over. There's a possibility that a third could happen at some point in life. I'm not going to promise anything. I have other things in the works and I want to try new things. Plus, I don't want to leave you all hanging (like I did with these last few chapters. But maybe, in the future, ConKher, Murva, Aiden, Declan/Kieran and others will be back. Who knows...? :)
Thank you to each and everyone of you that took the time to read this story. It means the world to me. Super special thanks to... iforgiveyou, Conspicuously Shrouded, "Lucy", RhanonBrodie, TWD, BlueMoonSaint, Valerie E.

Each of you let me know you were actually reading whether it be through reviews, alerts, or favorites. That is just overwhelming to me and I cannot express how grateful I am to each and every one of you. It's what kept me going and I can only hope some of you stick with me if/when I move onto other things. I especially thank the people that reviewed. For the most part, you reviewed repeatedly which is fabulous and actually let me get to know you and talk/bond. It's nice to know the people behind the stories (since quite a few of you are authors as well). Not only that... this is currently the 3rd most reviewed Boondock story... that is unbelievable to me and there's a chance it will move to number 2... holy shit. I just... I can't tell you what that means to me. Words aren't enough.
I also want to thank the following for putting me on their author alert list or author favorite list (or both): AislingIsobel, Alessandra love22, Alexandria04, Are You Afraid Yet, Baloo18, BlueMoonSaint, coffee-ink-fire, ConspicuouslyShrouded, Entwinedlove, Hopeful-Lost-Boy's-Girl, iforgiveyou, kaayrakoi, LSWasp, LadyAlarah, meb1313, ModernDayJuneCleaver, OhhKellyRose, PiercedHeart114, Pixie photos, SilverMoonlit, TheBaconMaker, Valerie E Mackin, XakibaphoxX. I hope I managed to get everyone that I could. If I forgot you, I appreciate you just as much and it was an honest mistake.
Like I said, I do have a few ideas up my sleeve. I'm not sure when I'll put them out into the open because as of now if anything is written for them, it's not finished/just ideas. Most stuff is Boondock related, but I'm really thinking my next attempt will be in the Walking Dead arena. I mean, it is coming back, ha. We shall see though. Until next time my friends...

Parents can have difficulty keeping up with all the sites and apps kids seem to find as they figure out Facebook is for fogies. This isn't an exhaustive list but here are 10 sites, a few with caveats, your kids may be checking out.
Ask.fm: The social network, which allows users to post anonymous questions and answers, became controversial after it was linked to several teen suicide and bullying cases. The site, which is not for children under 13, was sold last year and has since instituted a new safety guideline to prevent cyberbullying. But there's no consensus on whether this has worked. A parent will want to check out this site if there's a chance their kid is on it.
Instagram and Instagram Direct: On this photo sharing app, popular with all ages, users can post photos and short videos and followers can "like" pictures and leave comments. Public photos are the default but there are privacy settings. Instagram's direct message feature lets users send a photo or video to a select group of people (up to 15). From a safety standpoint, there is a concern about kids being harassed or approached inappropriately through private messaging.
Kik: Police and school security officials are urging caution with this app, which allows users to message each other anonymously without going through the phone company. The app is rated for ages 17 and up, but it's also used by younger kids and predators. Police are reporting cases of bullying and "sextortion" linked to Kik. FBI officials call sextortion a growing Internet crime with a perpetrator convincing kids to send a racy picture then threatening them if they don't comply with their demands. A Hialeah man who was recently convicted of child pornography and sextortion reached kids through Kik, Skype, Omegle and other sites.
Periscope: Live streaming videos that allow any user to broadcast live to anyone with a phone is the appeal of this app. The Wall Street Journal said it's like video chatting on Skype, except that you're broadcasting one-way to anyone who feels like tuning in.
Pinterest: The app is like a virtual pinboard where users can share, save and categorize pictures and ideas for topics including crafts, music and clothes, with millions of boards. You don't hear about problems with Pinterest but the tattoo category can be iffy and Pinterest does link to other sites. Users can create a Pinterest account via a Facebook account or an email address.
Snapchat: The popular app allows teens to exchange their photos, texts and videos and to use it as a live video chat. The chief claim is that these texts and photos are only viewable for one to 10 seconds before disappearing, but screenshots can be taken. The site directs kids under 13 to SnapKidz as long as kids don't lie about their age. While kids say they like Snapchat for silly or "in the moment" photos and videos, the site has been used for "sexting." Parents are urged to talk to their kids about taking or posting pictures that would get them in trouble. If they're in doubt, they're able to block this site.
Tumblr: : It's described as a cross between a social network and a microblogging site. Teens can use it to creatively share photos, videos and text and also follow others' accounts, including actors, athletes and artists. Reblogging is similar to retweeting. The site and app are not for children because it is possible to access pornography and other inappropriate material. If teens are using it, be sure to follow them and talk about using the site safely.
Vine: Users can create and post six-second videos, which are also often shared on Twitter and Facebook. The app is aimed at teens age 17 and up. Videos tend to be harmless and even fun and creative, but resourceful kids can find nudity, drug use and other inappropriate material.
WhatsApp: The free instant messaging app allows users 16 and over to send text messages, videos, photos and audio messages to one or more people with no message limits or fees. It's popular for international travelers.
Yik Yak: The free social networking app is geographically based. It lets users post anonymous comments, opinions or secrets to Yik Yak users within a 1.5-mile radius. The app is rated for people 18 years and over. The site is often used in school, on campuses and in malls. The risks include location sharing (unintended), requests for hook-ups, harassment and finding drugs and alcohol. "Yik Yak has a reputation for allowing for bullying," said Edward McAuliff, chief information security officer for Miami-Dade schools.

26 Apr HEY HEY MBFWA
Fashion Week: isn't it every girl's favourite week? Well we all know what my answer is to that one and yes I really wish it was all year round. The vibes are amazing and the street style is even more so – if you are walking around Carriageworks in between shows you just don't know where to look. So much fashion, so much individual style, ugh it's all too good.
I was lucky enough to attend this year's MBFWA in Sydney and whilst I've attended Fashion Week before, this year was my first year actually covering the events. I couldn't have been more excited or snap happy but the photos here on the blog just don't do all of the amazing outfits we captured justice. While I sit here and recap it all for you, I'm day dreaming about next year's shows already… aaahhh. But here we go, fasten your fashion seat belts.
MBFWA Day 1
I excitedly kicked off my MBFWA Sydney shows with the highly anticipated Han studios show. Why so hyped? HAN designer, Khim Hang had teamed up with the oh so amazing Margaret Zhang and had her on board as the Creative Director for this show. Khim's designs mixed with Zhang's vibes who wouldn't be excited. The looks at HAN we very relaxed and very simple. Slouchy styling mixed with effortless thrown together looks.
Theme this year: Egyptian. We saw a lot of gold, black, white, sequins and some pops of colour thrown into the mix all matched with strong feminine shapes. If you looking for something to wear next time you the town, Zhivago has you covered. The pieces shimmering down the runway this year were all eye catching, all amazing silhouettes and all party pretty.
MBFWA Day 2
Wang Yutao
Probably with the most specific theme of this year's show, Wang Yutao had recreated the 60's & 70's in his bright & floral collection. Flower embellishments and pop art prints were back. Swing silhouettes and boys in scarfs dominated the show and while I'm not sure you'll be seeing a Head-to-Toe Wang Yutao look on the streets anytime soon, the mix and match possibilities are endless.
What girl doesn't love an immaculately constructed couture gown? So the excitement waiting to view an entire collection of such beauties was huge. Galanni are Australia's much loved version of Versace in terms of glitz and glamour and their gowns just as exquisite. To my absolute delight, another collection based around black, white, gold & nude tones! Galanni you've absolutely stolen my heart with this year's showing.
Group Swimwear Show
Pulling some big new comers in the Australian swimwear game, the group swimwear show was a hit. FELLA swim, Jewels & Grace and Zingiber were only a few of the labels presenting but by far were the three designers that jumped out at me in this show. Skipping over the usual horrendous floral and ugly colourful prints, these guys were bringing style back to summer time skin with block colours in eye catching designs.

Certified in Interior Design by the British Columbia Institute of Technology, Heather has spent several years working in the design industry, both as an employee, and as an entrepreneur.

In 2010, Heather launched Treoma Design with her business partner Tara. Since then, she has completed dozens of successful renovation projects, honing the essential skills required to take a project from concept to completion. Before starting her business, Heather worked for Restoration Hardware, where she solidified a clear understanding of quality furniture design and construction. Heather finds inspiration through her love of travel & the exploration of other cultures, as well as the beauty of the natural world around her.

German police on Friday lifted an alert of an imminent attack in Munich, hours after evacuating two key train stations over fears jihadists were planning a New Year suicide bomb assault. Officials had said they were tipped off about a plot by the Islamic State group to strike at the southern German city shortly before midnight as Europe prepared to ring in the New Year in an atmosphere of unprecedented security. "Overall I would say that the situation for Munich is as it was before this threat of attack," Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae told journalists on Friday.

Business Problems And Thier Solution By Baba Bangali
Much of the payback people get from their entrepreneurial ventures is personal. Having the independence and flexibility to make time for family, hobbies or other activities is a huge draw to the entrepreneurial life. It also provides an opportunity to do something you have a passion for rather than spend the majority of your waking hours performing tasks you have little real interest in. And, increasingly, location independence is a huge benefit: many people want to live in a particular geographic area—say, close to the mountains or by the ocean—or perhaps in a place where there aren't an abundance of jobs. Avoiding long commutes is a growing priority, as is the ability to work virtually from anyplace to enable a more footloose lifestyle.
So here is the question of starting business.
How to grow with existing business?
How to Expand your business?
When Should be it is started? so it valued to more and more money + growth
So all question is here for starting business,Running it successfully & Grwoth of business
Baba Bangali gives you complete analysis of your business in accordance with planets,grah-gochar etc.And gives you remedies for these matters
If you are in confusion just call right now to Baba Bangali regarding any problem of business and it's issues

I assume that the vulnerability of the ROM is not very important, because of the following:
...quote from opening post...
Which leads me to believe that every version is rootable (I have an old CC stick). I believe the problem is the HDD connector, because it either is not capable of connecting because there is a resistor inside of it or it is one way as it is normally used for connecting the HDD to a hub with two USB ports so it can start properly.
So check the Chromecast app to see what build your Chromecast has. If it is 19084 or greater, it cannot be rooted nor can it be downgraded since flashing requires exploitable bootloader (such it's also what root requires).

I will start by providing the definitions of evolution and God before I initially start the debate with my contender.
the process by which different kinds of living organism are believed to have developed from earlier forms during the history of the earth.
(as defined by google)
(in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being.
(as defined by google)
May the best contestant win.
I agree with the definitions given by Pro. Evolution is suppose to show how organisms developed from different previous organisms. I will show historic proof and artifacts found to disprove intelligence being evolved from earlier life forms, in fact I believe there has always been humans.
My last prerequisite is that your topic states that "Evolution is the only way to go with dining the truth which is the existence of God" However what if someone just believes in God and doesnt believe in Evolution. They are believing in the Truth that God exist but not Evolution. So you will have to show how believing in Evolution is the only way to believe in God existing and you cant have one and not the other.
Good luck!
Passionate_Fighter forfeited this round.
Um... OK.
I will be arguing the Humans may have not been evolved. Some cases I can provide for this are:
- Artifacts that prove human intelligence dating before Humans supposedly evolved.
- Human Foot Prints in the same soil timeline as Dinosaurs!
- And some flaws in Evolution.
Okay, so firstly as told by http://www.universetoday.com...
Humans have only been around for 2,000 years, and Homo saipens only had evolved on Earth 2 Million Years ago.
Now with that out of the way:
1. Artifacts:
- 6 Million Year Old Brass Bell. As seen before according to Evolution Homo Saipens came about 2 million years ago, however this Bell was around 4 Million Years before that! So what had the intelligence to heat metal, pour metal, and forge this bell? Also according this the site, the earliest industrialization only came about 200 years ago, in the 1800s. So how did this bell come about?
- 400 Million Year Old Hammer. This is just funny, this Hammer was found to have 96% Pure Iron! Never has this been found before in nature without the assistance of from nearly modern age blacksmithing! So how did someone manage this 400 Million Years Ago?
- 100 Million Year Old HUMAN Finger! If this doesnt prove something, I am not sure what will! Yes people have found a Finger that is 100 million years old! That is 98 Millions Year before the First Homo Saipen according to Evolution.
- 2.8 BILLION YEAR OLD Klerksdorp spheres! This is something that not even to this day we can manage to achieve unless we used anti gravity. Reason being is that it is so perfectly balanced it would be nigh impossible for someone to have made this, escpecially when we hadn't even evolved yet supposedly.
- 250 Million Year Old Microchip! You should get the point by now. Technology that has been around for that long just proves that Humans didnt evolve from something, they have always been around.
Human Foot Prints in same timeline as Dinosaurs:
The "answer" to this that we have been given is that the Human prints of the same time and in the same rock as the visibly clear dinosaur prints was actually also a dinosaur print that eroded over time to look human. This begs to question, why didnt the other print in the same rock that was made during the same timeling erode? Or what if the assumption that they eroded is false? Sure it could be, however there isn't anything to prove it, just a theory that they eroded. However it could very well be human foot prints! Seeing how this is an illogical answer, many people then jumped to the fact that it was a hoax, however under the rock down and many layers down to the bed rock we find the same prints! So unless someone has the ability to carve the first layer of the ground, then go through the rest of it without carving through then carving into the Bed rock, it was not a hoax.
We are all told the simple "fact" that Humans didnt evolve from apes but instead a common ancestor. Well try to find that "common ancestor" they cannot give you proper date, time or name that creature existed. They call it the CHLCA, literally meaning the Chimpanzee–human last common ancestor. So what exactly did we evolve from? And given the knowledge above, and knowing these creatures weren't intelligent since they weren't homo saipen yet, where did the artifacts come from?
There are many creatures that have been around for hundreds of Millions of Years! Yet none have evolved? For example, the Horseshoe Crab, its been around for 300 million some years! Never evolved. Jellyfish, been around for 505 million years, half of a billion! And thats just the latest findings. Or the Sponge, that, we dont even truly know how long its been around. They estimate a bit after the first bacteria but they dont even have an exact date, its been around longer then we can figure out. Yet it has never evolved. Or even the Six Gilled Shark (Cow Shark) That was found, supposedly it had evolved away, but we found it, it dates back to 190 million years ago.
As you can see, it is fairly crazy to believe in Evolution, it would be much more logical if our dating methods are just not accurate at all. Which would then not give Evolution any backing because if they can't date things properly how does anything about the times of things that evolved work? It would be more logical to believe that the world is 10,000 years old and have a Creationist view. So there, you can logically have a Creationist view and believe in God.
Passionate_Fighter forfeited this round.
My opponet has now forfeited twice. So whether this isn't really much of a debate. However none of my points have been addressed obviously and henceforth are left to stand.
Vote Con!
Passionate_Fighter forfeited this round.
Seeing as my opponet has not met their BoP, and has forfeited nearly very round, I have nothing more to say. Only that I hope everyone votes for me!
Passionate_Fighter forfeited this round.
Well I am a bit saddened that so many people are forfeiting, makes it hard to find a good debate.
Pro has not shown how someone must believe in Evolution to believe in God, while I have shown that someone can believe that Evolution is not true and also believe in God.

Reasons for voting decision: Conduct goes to Con due to Pro's forfeitures. I'm undecided over arguments, as an appearant typo in the motion made it impossible to understand what the debate was about. Was it about how evolution is the only way to go when you "deny" the existence of G-d, or was it about something else? Con's case doesn't seem to go with the first interpretation of the motion, since if the first interpretation were true, Con would have needed to argue that an atheist didn't need to believe in evolution.

RUSP Annual Report
RUSP Graduates
2017 The Rural and Urban Scholars Pathways graduating class
Rural & Urban Scholars Pathways students receive D.O. degrees
When the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine launched its Rural and Urban Scholars Pathways program in 2013, the purpose was simple: to prepare future physicians to practice in medically underserved communities. In just three years, the program – which was made possible through funding from the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation – is well on its way
RUSP Opportunities
Rural and Urban Scholars Pathways Students
Participate in Clinical Jazz, a longitudinal small group experience in leadership development and peer coaching with a focus on competencies for practice in an underserved setting, experiential place-based learning, and mentorship
Meet once per semester for an individualized education planning session with an assigned coach
Attend professional development workshops focused on (1) skill-building for a broad scope of practice, (2) problem solving with invited guests, and (3) other active exploration of issues relevant to rural and urban underserved practice
Engage in immersion experience between first and second years in a setting of relative austerity (possibly a global health experience)
Spend at least six months or the equivalent of curricular time in a rural or urban underserved setting
Complete a scholarly project relevant to the health of rural and urban underserved communities
Other Opportunities and Scholarships
RUSP students interested in practicing in rural settings are encouraged to apply to the Rural Health Scholars program each fall ( open to students from all of Ohio's medical schools)
Athens and Dublin students accepted into RUSP can apply for a scholarship of $10,000 to be applied to their first year of medical school. Upon successfully completing the RUSP program and placing in a primary care residency in Ohio, these scholarhsip recipients and additional students selected over the suceeding years of medical school who have participated in RUSP for at least one year can receive additional $30,000 funded by the Osteopathic Heritage Foundations.
RUSP Application
Rural and Urban Scholars Pathways (RUSP) application is now closed. The 2019 application process will open November 1, 2018.
For additional information, please contact the Administrative Director of Rural and Underserved Programs here .

Sarah Takacs and her friend took a road trip from Ohio to Niagara Falls for Spring Break. This was the first time any of them saw Niagara Falls in the winter.
Sarah tells us, "At times, we could feel the mist, and, while standing on a bridge, we were amazed at how fast the water flowed over the rocks below us. The best part of the trip, in my opinion, was getting to see the Falls lit up in many different colors at night."
Glad you and your friends enjoyed the trip and thanks for sharing your video. We hope to see you in the Summer.

Daunting record-keeping demands, regulation and client acquisition challenges have held back innovation in the retirement space.
But that is changing, as established plan providers are teaming up with startups to upgrade their tech capabilities.
The latest partnership is between John Hancock Retirement Plan Services and enterprise tech firm Next Capital, which will provide a platform for John Hancock to offer robo advice and digital service to its 401(k) and IRA rollover clients.
"The ability to provide high quality savings-type advice to a typically underserved population has come about," says Peter Gordon, chief executive of John Hancock Retirement Plan Services.
One aspect spurring the partnership is the ability to aggregate account information across the accounts of 2.7 million participants and $144 billion in assets, Gordon says.
It will lead to a better user experience and advice, says Next Capital co-founder Rob Foregger. "You know a tremendous amount about client, and that allows for a sophisticated level of financial planning," he says.
It also equips the provider to handle the demands of the Department of Labor's fiduciary rule, Foregger adds, acknowledging its future may be in doubt under the Trump administration.
Gordon says the firm is already open architecture and doesn't limit itself to proprietary funds. No pricing has been set on the digital offering.
"Whether the rule survives or is altered, it doesn't really matter, the market has been moving in that direction for a long time," Gordon says.
Despite the moat around large retirement record keeping systems, the $6.7 trillion defined contribution space has seen the entry of digital-first competitors, notably Betterment, blooom and Dream Financial. Launched in 2014, blooom for instance advertises it has analyzed over 27,000 accounts and $1.4 billion in assets.
Gordon welcomes competitors. "They up the game of everybody," he says. "Those that weren't getting advice will get the opportunity to receive high quality advice, and those that were, it will get even better."
Though John Hancock is part of Manulife Financial, a global asset management firm, Gordon says there is no plan to plug the retirement robo into a platform offering a direct-to-retail investment management solution like Vanguard, or an institutional investment offering as BlackRock does.
"We are focused on retirement," he says. "There is so much innovation to be done just that limited space."
There will come a point in the near future when a digital platform will encompass investment management, retirement, banking and insurance offerings, says Alois Pirker, research director for Aite Group's wealth management practice.
"The more you can consolidate across business lines, the more you will be able to provide the seamless, single-platform experience that clients will benefit from," Pirker says.
Pirker adds that the evolution of competition in the retirement space will be at a different pace than what exists in digital wealth management or even banking.
"While startups will not be eating John Hancock's lunch, they are driving a wedge into the industry with innovation, and pushing it in a healthy direction."

Pallets—I like 'em. Some of my strongest childhood memories were made bouncing from pallet to pallet in my grandparent's seed barn. Piles of splintery fun, in this barn is where my love of pallets began.
You can't tell much about this grainy picture from the early 90s but I can. I can almost feel the cool concrete under my bare feet, smell the distinct scent that accompanies seed–I can almost hear Travis and Ashley negotiating who could drive "the car" (aka forklift). Pretend. We don't pretend enough anymore. It would serve us well. Around these pallets we made obstacle courses, rode bikes, roller skated, pretended the fork lift was a car and played serious rounds of hide and seek.
I never see a pallet without remembering this old barn and my granddad. Would you just look at him with his cool old glasses and his cap cocked slightly to the side? His jacket covers it but if I had to guess, I'd guarantee that the strap on his left side of his overalls is sliding just off his shoulder. It always did.
So much has changed yet pallets remain the same. These utilitarian objects are finding new life in homes and retail stores. I've even seen them used to stage a beautiful outdoor wedding. Take a look at these pallets being put to very good use.
There are lots of pictures floating around but these are a few of my favorites.
Love this idea From Under the Willow Tree
Via Ashley Ann.
And, in case you're tying the knot or into set design pallets are for you, too. This is hands down my favorite outdoor wedding design made from—wait for it—pallets. Read how they did it here.
You like pallets now, don't you? Can you believe how unique and stylish each of these projects turned out to be? I think I'll incorporate a pallet or two into my house. It seems like the right thing to do.

Virginia elementary school launches satellite
ARLINGTON, Va. (CBS) - Kids at a Virginia elementary school made history, becoming the first school to put a satellite into space on Monday.
If the tiny satellite works, it will beam back photos of earth to schools around the world.
400 jubilant students at St. Thomas More Cathedral School celebrated on Monday after NASA ( http://www.nasa.gov/feature/first-cubesat-built-by-an-elementary-school-deployed-into-space ) released their cube satellite into space.
Annaliese Lundvigson, a third grader at St. Thomas More, said, "It was awesome. And now we're the first school to launch a satellite in space!"
Once the antenna deploys, the satellite is programmed to take a picture of earth and beam it back every 30 seconds.
CBS reporter Mark Albert was shown the control center for the pictures by Kindergarten teacher Emily Stocker, who led the mission at the school.
Stocker said, "I think the big lesson here is perseverance. If you really want it, and you work hard enough, you really can do anything."
Joe Pellegrino is the father of one of the students and came up with the idea for the satellite. He admits, he had ulterior motives, because Pellegrino is also an engineer at NASA.
Pellegrino said, "We need American engineers and scientists. So that really is the mission goal."
The kids at St. Thomas More were thrilled about the launch.
Gabriel Macphail, a sixth grader at St. Thomas More, said, "Wow. We did it!"
Macphail's mother was overcome with joy.
Ann Macphail said, "It's just been incredible.
The satellite's battery should last up to nine months to power exploration and inspiration for schools around the globe.

Tea type: Loose
Temperature: @200, boiling)
Steeped: 5 minutes
Served: Nothing added
What we have here is a lovely strong breakfast tea. The long curled tea leaves are perfectly black and crispy, beautiful to look at. Once steeped, the create a deep chocolate brown tea that gives off a warm nutty aroma. The taste is just what you would expect from a breakfast tea, strong. I found hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, making this tea a great fir for the fall and winter.
My husband found this tea on his recent travels in Vermont and New Hampshire. I assumed that because it was under the Douglas Sweets label, that it could be purchased online. However it was not found on the site. There are other teas for sale but not this one. So, I can provide you with my thoughts on this tea, but not how to get some for yourself. Keep your eyes out if you are traveling the the New England area, you might find it in stores.
Taste: 4 of 5 leaves – Quite a good cuppa!
Steepability: 5 of 5 — this tea is easy to make!
These are the teas tat I keep seeing on all of the import sites! The sales clerk told me to pick-up some Bewley's when I purchased my Irish tea pot. I should have listened! Well, until my next trip it'll be off to the import store for me.
Taste: 3 of 5 leaves: A decent tasty tea
Steepability: 5 of 5 — this tea is easy to make!
