Since the people in the room didn’t particularly like each other. JR faked a smile towards Pam and asked, “Something more to drink Pam?”“No I’ve already had more than enough, thank you,” Pam replied with an equally fake smile, since she knew that drinking really wasn’t good for her. Yet being in the same room as Bobby’s brothers without him had made her nervous enough to drink more than she usually did to calm her nerves. “We’re here and I’m starved,” Christopher smiled and their entrance immediately made Pam feel a little better.“Yeah I think it’s time we’d sit down at the dinner table,” Bobby said and Pam hurried to stand up.JR was also quick on his feet and took charge of the situation as he walked over to the dinner table, starting to boss people around, “Bobby you can take your chair, I take my chair, Chris you can take your old chair, Ray you’ll take Gary’s chair, Rebecca you can take Lucy’s chair and Pam you can take April’s chair,” JR grinned challenging towards Pam.Bobby flinched at the mentioning of his dead wife's name and he made a face, as he remembered her and all that could have been. Yet April was dead and Pam was back and knowing that he quickly gathered himself, “JR that was unnecessary. You know as well as I do that the chair belonged to Pam first…”“Exactly so I take my chair,” Pam insisted, as Bobby pulled out the chair for her. Christopher made a face, as he was used to sitting closest to his dad now, but quickly composed himself and sat down on his old chair next to his mom instead.“Where’s Lucy’s chair?” Rebecca wondered.“There next to Ray,” JR pointed out. Rebecca frowned before she objected, “Nah that’s not good. I wanna sit next to my mom.”“You can’t your brother’s sitting there, but maybe you can sit next to Christopher instead?” Bobby suggested.“Okay,” Rebecca reluctantly agreed. So soon the whole Ewing family, or at least what was left of it, sat down together for dinner. Rebecca moved her food around on her plate, not really satisfied with the meal of the day, which happened to be chopped liver. So she started looking for an excuse to get rid of her food without eating it and asked sweetly, “You don’t happen to have a dog around here, do you?”“No sorry we’re not allowed to have pets in the house,” Christopher replied.“Bummer,” Rebecca pouted, as she started to wonder why her mom had left out the detail that they eat disgusting food at Southfork. Because all her mom had ever talked about were the people who lived there, who were her family and how they were going to love her. Still sitting at the dinner table now, looking at her two uncles and older brother who barely said a word to each other Rebecca didn’t feel particularly loved. Maybe it was because nobody except her dad seemed to actually be interested in getting to know her. All her life Rebecca had looked forward to this moment when she’d take her rightful place at Southfork, with her family. Still now when it was finally here nothing had turned out the way she’d imagined it. Rebecca sighed, as she looked at the older brother she didn’t know, who seemed angry at her presence rather than happy. She then looked at her uncles, her Uncle Ray seemed nice enough, but a bit troubled. But her uncle JR seemed to be giving her the fish eye for some reason and she hadn’t even done anything wrong. Sure her mom had warned her that her uncle JR might not exactly welcome them with open arms. But never had Rebecca imagined the frosty reception they’d got. The bad mood in the room seemed to have affected her parents badly too, as they had seemed far happier last night at the hotel in Odessa than they were here at Southfork. Looking down on her plate again Rebecca swallowed, as she couldn’t help but wondering if her mom had been totally wrong about this place, because it certainly didn’t feel like home to her…</blockquote>
