One Moore Christmas (Sethia)

Payton grinned at his handy work. He knew that she and Anna would hit it off wonderfully. Anna was always talking about animals and how one day she was going to have a farm, and knowing that was what Sethia wanted to, they would probably be able to go on for hours.

Anna, hearing Sethia start talking about animals her steps hurried and she started talking as soon as Sethia was done.
“I want every kind of animal, especially big ones like horses. I always wanted a bit animal, but we can’t have one at the flat. I want to live far far from the city and have a hundred animals. All kinds!”<br>
She was still young, having her 10th birthday the fall before, so her goals were a touch unrealistic, but Payton still never doubted her for a moment. With her enthusiasm, she probably would own a farm with a hundred animals one day.

Sethia beamed with the talk of animals and farms, she would be a farm girl to the end. “I live on a farm, and we do have tons of animals; horses, cows, ducks, you name it. One of our horses had a foal not too long ago, I was actually there for it, it was just before I went back to school,” Sethia told Anna.

“Have you ever been to the country before?” she asked. “It is a lot different than it is here. And there is a lot to do, everyday and all day long, but I am sure you could get it easily. And there would be no room for animals here, but in the country there is so much room and everything is just so alive.”<br>
Sethia looked at Payton and blushed, she was getting carried away she knew it, she always did when it came to things like that.

“A real farm?” Anna could hardly contain her join, reaching forward she wrapped both of her hands around one of Sethia’s and pulled on it eagerly. “Can I come visit in the summer? I want to see all the animals!”<br>She glanced over at Payton, who had his usual something’s up smile, an eyebrow raised as he looked at her.
“Payton can bring me!”<br>
Knowing Anna was too caught up in the thought of all those animals in one place to answer Sethia’s question, he decided to.
“We have vacationed in the country before. Pops is big on vacations. Why don’t you tell Sethia some of the places we have been Anna? The country ones at least.”<br>
Her attention nor directed, one hand let go of Sethia’s as she tried to think.
“We went to Stonehenge! And a sheep farm in Ireland. I saw a lamb being born!”
