A/N- this is the beginning of what will hopefully be a very long series of one shots! I plan on updating as often as possible!

Jules Callaghan sat at her kitchen table, looking through the thick pile of paper that was her mail. Her mailbox was only at the end of her driveway, and she made the effort every day to walk the whole five feet and get it, but with her lack of time, the thick envelopes had accumulated at the back if her kitchen counter.

She sighed as she looked at the repeating bills and flyers and other useless junk that random people sent to her. She skimmed the addresses quickly, moving one envelope from the front of the pile to the back, her slim, nimble fingers moving quickly.

She paused her routine as one envelope weighed a little more than it should; she glanced at the top left hand corner and smiled as she realized just who had sent her the letter.

She tore the top off excitedly and reached her hand in the small white crevice, pulling out the continents.

Jules,

Hi sweetheart, how is Toronto treating ya? Me and your brothers have all been good, although we miss ya like crazy! You know, a phone call wouldn't hurt once and a while. So how is your young gentlemen friend? What did you tell me his name was again? Sam? He better be treating you real good or else he'll have to deal with the wrath of me and your brothers! Speaking of Sam, why don't you bring him down this summer? We're all dying to meet him, we wanna see if he's as nice as you say he is. So let me know what you think about that, write me back or give me a call or whatever. Just get in touch, I miss you baby girl, love you lots and can't wait to see you, love dad.

P.S- hope you like the pictures, me Jacob and Robby spent an afternoon looking though the old photo albums, we picked out our favourites for you.

Jules smiled as she stared at her father's messy country scrawl and re-read the letter, laughing at her fathers and brother's protectiveness. She placed the letter on the counter and picked up the pictures. There were about five pictures in total. The first one was when Jules was no more than three years old; it was of her and her four brothers and parents on their first family vacation with Jules born, they were in Walt Disney world. The others were Jules and her high school friends, her and her dad, her brothers, the most recent one was the last visit Jules had with her family, about eight months ago. Her family, minus her mom who died when Jules was young, was crowded onto the small wooden dock that leisurely floated in the small waves of Long Lake, on the windy October day.

That was one of the things that Jules has always loved about growing up on the farm; the lake. It was a rare thing; there aren't many farms with a lakeside view, but it had been a condition of Jules' when her father had made her and her brothers pack up and move to basically the middle of nowhere, there had to be a lake. So it was there, that Jules had spent her days as a child and as a teenager. Growing with the lake and trees, going from one piece bathing suits to bikinis, from a flat chest to bras, from cooties to boyfriends. Yes, the lake was Jules' safe haven; she made a mental note to take Sam there when they went for the visit.

Jules smiled at the memories, as she studied each one of her brother's faces. She jumped ever so slightly when the front door opened.

"Hey Jules." She heard Sam call from the front porch, signalling that he was home for the night.

"Hey Sammy, I'm in the kitchen."

Sam strode into the kitchen and straight to Jules, circling her hips into his arms. He buried his face in her hair and gently kissed her neck.

"How was your day off?"

"Quite lovely, thank you."

"Oh yeah? What did you do all day?" He asked her as she turned around to face him, his arms never leaving her hips.

"Well, I tried cleaning out my pathetic excuse of a garden."

"Sweetheart, I think you're a little behind on that, aren't you suppose to do that like in the beginning of May? We're already half way through June!"

Jules laughed, agreeing with Sam. "Yeah, probably, on my next day off, I think I'll buy the gardening for dummies book."

"Oh Jules, you're a funny one." Sam said sarcastically, as his attention grew on to the letter and pictures that were scattered across the table.

"What's that?" he asked curiously.

Jules also turned her attention to the items. "Oh, my dad sent me a letter and some pictures," she said as he let her hips go and picked up the pictures.

"Aww Jules! You're so cute!" he said, referring to the Disney picture.

Jules smiled but kept the conversation going. "And, he wants us to go visit him and my brothers before the summer is over."

Sam's head snapped up at this new piece of news.

"mhmm." He mumbled as he turned back to the pictures, pretending to be distracted.

Jules however, was not buying that.

"You don't want to go." She stated, somewhat hurt.

"I didn't say that Jules."

"You're right, you didn't say anything…"

Sam sighed. "Look Jules, you know that I want to meet your family."

"Then what's the problem?"

"I don't know, it's just…. Don't you think it would be weird?"

"No, why would it be weird?"

"well, I…" Sam fumbled for his words.

"Spit it out Sam."

"Because they probably won't like me!" he finally admitted.

"What's so funny?" Sam demanded to know.

"Oh Sammy, of course they'll like you! They might interrogate you a little, but they'll definitely like you!" Jules continued to laugh as she pulled Sam's head down to meet hers, pulling him into a deep kiss. He lifted her onto the counter so that she would have easier access. When they broke apart for air, Jules leaned her head against Sam's chest. "So," she started through ragged breaths. "Will you go?"

When Sam didn't answer right away, Jules pulled him down again, this time hoping off the counter and dragging him onto the couch. He lay down and pulled Jules on top of him. They memorised the way each other's body felt, they ran their finger through each other's hair.

"Please say you'll go Sammy." Jules whispered in his ear.

"Uh huh." Sam mumbled against Jules' stomach.

Yes! Jules thought. Victory!

A/N- so I plan to give this one a second part, when Sam and Jules actually go to Alberta. It will come eventually! Reviews are love :)
