He was the one, after all, who&#8217;d disappeared into the Guatemalan jungle when she was thirteen and gotten kidnapped by a vengeful ex-boyfriend of hers who wanted her to find Excalibur when she was pushing forty.<\/p>\n<p>She knew better now. Not that she&#8217;d ever seen herself as the maternal type, but then neither had Marion and look how well that turned out. Besides&#8230;accidents happened. Especially the way she and Sam tended to go at it: it was probably more of a miracle they&#8217;d only had the one.<\/p>\n<p>Scrubbing one hand across her face, Carolina flopped down into an overstuffed chair in her living room with a frustrated sigh. &#8220;May you have children just like you,&#8221; she muttered under her breath. She was beginning to think it was a Jones family curse: there was at least one in every generation.<\/p>\n<p>From his seat on the couch across from her, her brother Henry gave her a knowing look. &#8220;She&#8217;s her mother&#8217;s daughter,&#8221; he said. &#8220;She won&#8217;t stay captive for long.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Carolina scowled. &#8220;That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m afraid of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sure enough, barely a minute later they heard the soft tread of stealthy ten-year-old feet padding down the stairs. Carolina was out of her seat like she&#8217;d been fired from her grandfather&#8217;s pistol.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dakota Marion Jones-Winchester, you get back up there <em>right now<\/em> and finish your homework, before I decide to tie you to the chair!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dakota stared at her mother in dismay, her face crestfallen. &#8220;But, Mom&#8211;!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Carolina cut her off. &#8220;If I see you down here one more time before every &#8216;i&#8217; is dotted and every &#8216;t&#8217; crossed, you&#8217;re staying behind with Uncle Henry next time we go to Peru.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You wouldn&#8217;t!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Complete with your very own guardian angel to make sure you don&#8217;t get any ideas about sneaking out and following us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The mention of Gramps finally did it. White-faced, Dakota turned and practically flew up the stairs.<\/p>\n<p>Behind her, Henry laughed. &#8220;I told you locking her in wouldn&#8217;t do any good,&#8221; he pointed out a little too cheerfully.<\/p>\n<p>Carolina threw a pillow at him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author&#8217;s Note: Written for Medie for Christmas 2008.
