"Tell me about ... Your sisters ." Jack said .
"Okay ... I'm the eldest ... Then there Clara and she's 16... Elizabeth and she's 15... Amelia is 12... And Francis is 7... My mother and father kept trying for sons but my mother didn't have birthing hips " Katherine said "what about you ... Don't you have a brother ?"
"Yes , Andrew ... He's 17... He has a bum leg and I call him Cruthie ... " Jack said .
They're meal came and they didn't really say anything besides talk about the dog and jacks next job . They finished and walked back home .
Katherine went to the kitchen and began to wash the dishes and all . "I'm going to go to my art studio .. I have some more paintings to finish " Jack said and walked away .
Katherine put on her apron and cleaned the dishes and dried them and then went to clean the rest of the kitchen .
She moved to the den and cleaned around there and then went to the bathroom downstairs and cleaned .
She went to all the guest rooms and made sure they were unpacked . Then to their bedroom and cleaned the room . She stripped the bed and grabbed fresh linens .
She washed the windows and mirrors and then cleaned the bathroom . Next she went and the dirty clothes and bedding and went to the washing room .
She put all the clothes in the big tub and poured the soap in . She got all the clothes soaking and went outside to see if the clothes line was hung , which it was not . She put the line up and then went to grab the wet clothes .
She put the clothes on the line and pinned them down . Jack looked out the window of his studio and saw Katherine out pinning clothes .
Jack grabbed Barak and went outside . "Need any help ?" Jack asked setting the dog down .
Katherine turned around "no ... I'm fine ... You can go back inside -"
"No it's okay .. I've finished -"
"No it's alright ... Go inside and watch some television or something ... Besides I'm the wife ... It's my job to cook and clean for you and it's your job to make money" Katherine said grabbing another blanket and putting it on the line , struggling .
"Here ..." Jack said hanging it up for her .
"Thank you ... It tends to be heavier when wet " Katherine said taking the pin and putting it on .
She walked back inside and began dinner. She grabbed a pan and began to grill some chicken .
There was a knock at the door and Jack went to open it . "Hello ?" Jack said .
It was no other than his mother and father . "Papa , Mama what are you doing here ?" Jack said .
"What your not gonna let your parents in your home ?" His father said .
"Oh , come in ... Katherine was just making dinner ... What's up ? " Jack asked inviting them to the den .
"We just wanted to see how things where and how your doing " his mother said .
"I'm great , she's great ... You should go.." Jack said ,
"Jack ? I hate to bother you but could you grab the plates that's are in... Oh ... Hello" Katherine said walking in the den .
"Hello dear how are you ?" His mother asked .
"I'm well thank you ... Are you two staying for dinner ?" Katherine asked .
"No . They're not -" Jack said .
"Jackson -"
"Goodbye " Jack said moving them out of the house . Jack went back inside and got the plates down for Katherine and went back to the couch .
Katherine put the food on their plates and placed it in the table . They sat down and prayed .
"Jack ... I hate to be rude but what was that about ?" Katherine asked taking abide .
"No clue and I don't care ... I don't want them in my life ... Or yours " Jack said
"Why not ? They're your parents "
"They're rude and judge mental ... Maybe one day they'll be apart of our lives but for now a simple hello and goodbye is all that's happening " Jack said eating his meal.
