Hey everyone I am so excited to be writing this story with all the kinda cousins together and being able to play with Jessica's  and Drea's  relationship  anyways hope you enjoy

Alright guys, are we all packed?" Drea? questions her nieces and nephews at the break of dawn. The children just nod quietly  as Drea closes her car trunk which was filled with tents, sleeping bags and an assortment  of guns and bows for hunting. It was Eden's first "camping  trip" You see it was actually a hunting trip for the older two, but then Eden insisted on coming  and she eventually  bent, telling Grace and Ben that their daughter would be fine and that they were just going  camping. "Alright then hop in the car I [have a surprise for you when we get there Drea says as she helps Eden  into her booster seat  and the twins hop in beside her.

"What kind of surprise?" Eden asks curiously, bouncing up and down in her car seat as Drea gets into the×$2-÷3 driver's seat, and Drea rolls her eyes, moving her hand to ruffle Eden's  hair. 

"Well if I told you it wouldn't  be much of a surprise would it?" Drea asks playfully as they start on the road to Drea's favorite camping place in upstate New York. 

……….

"Miss Jess, when will  Miss Drea and my cousins be here?" Victoria asks impatiently  as Jessica Knight finishes setting up their camp. Jessica just raises her eyebrow slightly at the eleven year old girl that was her boyfriend's daughter.

"Cousins? Vicky, Jimmy and I aren't even engaged yet." Knight says in utter surprise at the girl's  words. Victoria just rolls her eyes slightly before bouncing on her heels. 

"Well you'd  say yes, if he did… So they're still my family just like you are!" Victoria exclaims, shocking  Jessica  even more when she had met Victoria she was worried  that she wouldn't  accept her, but instead the girl had hugged hers and thanked her for making  her dad happy again. They've  been close since, but she didn't  know  that the girl felt so strongly and the question caused her to flush.

"Um… well, yes, yes I would, but that's  besides the point, ask them if you can call them that before  saying it alright?" Jessica questions  and Victoria nods with a slight smirk. "Anyways they should be here soon. How about I show you the place that inspired my bedtime story?" Jessica asks with extra excitement even though she didn't  want to relive the memories that came with that old shack.

"Yes please!" Victoria says in excitement and Jessica gives a smile as she leads the way. Soon they arrived at the little old shack now covered in even more vines than she remembered , but it has also been two decades. "Whoa this really looks like you describe it! Can we go in?" Victoria asks and Jessica shakes her head.

"Maybe once the other's  get here we will, but not right now. Now come on kid let's  see if Drea is here yet,"  Jessica told Victoria who quickly follows behind  her mother figure, back to the camping grounds. Right then a car pulls up and parks right by Knight's truck.

"Hey Knight," Drea calls out and Jessica smiles at her younger sister. She was still getting used to the fact that she had her actual family back in her life along with some good friends here in New York as well. None of those friends were as great as her team that was her other family… well technically they were her family before she was reintroduced to her real family.

“Auntie Jessie came!” The twins exclaimed as they ran up and basically tackled the older woman who rolled her eyes fondly before looking at Drea for some help, and then to Victoria who was giggling  at the sight of her father’s girlfriend.

“You never told me how much your niece and nephew loved you.”Victoria spoke with amusement, “For not being good with kids they sure do love you.” Victoria giggled again before the kids finally let her go and looked over to the twelve year old with nervousness.

“Oh right, Molly, Danny  this is my…” Jessica started before stopping not knowing what to call Victoria, “This is Victoria we hang out a lot together.” Jessica decides and the younger kids nod before starting to flood the twelve year old with questions.Meanwhile Eden and the pups help Drea set up their tents. 

“So who is she really?” Drea questions the eldest sister after finishing the setup. Jessica just smiles slightly as she watches the children play. Well the younger three played, Victoria on the other hand looked very out of place as she talked to her and Jimmy's Dog, Luna.

"She is Jimmy's daughter, we were on a girls' weekend when you asked if I could come. After hearing  about what it was Victoria pestered me about it until I said yes." Knight says, looking at the child again. Drea just smirks before  playfully knocking into her sister's shoulder.

"So when's  the wedding?" Drea asks, raising her eyebrows playfully and Jessica just slaps her sister's arm a bit harshly. She honestly  got that question  a lot. She and Jimmy had been dating for two years and they were getting  any younger. It was a slow process but the two were getting there.

 "I don't  know," Knight says, genuinely, watching as Eden goes over to Victoria, her , hoping iconic puppy Hope right by her side as she starts talking to the eldest girl. , 

………..

"So you're Miss Knight's daughter?" Eden asks Victoria who looks up from her dog with surprise at the sudden question. She then gently smiles and nods slightly. 

"Yeah… well I mean kinda. I really  want her to be…" Victoria ramble looking  over to Jessica nervously.  Edrn just looks at Victoria in confusion.  In her family most of her family wasn't  even blood. Georgie  and Drea were her aunts but they aren't  related, and her cousins weren't  technically her cousins other than Abigail who was too young to be any fun.

"Why is she not your mom? My mommy always says family is love not blood so if you love her like a mom then she's  your mom?" Eden says as if it's  the simplest thing in the world. Victoria just sighs slightly and she wishes it was that simple.

Before they can talk anymore about the subject Eden's  aunt and Jess come up, "Hey kids do you want to go explore?" Drea asks and the kids squeal and nods answering their question.

"Alright then kids let's go," Jessica says bouncing on the balls of her heels as Drea starts leading the way as she takes the back
