Told you I'd update soon.

Last Time,

"He told me a little of his life. You came before we could say much more."

"That's it? He doesn't want you for anything? Just to talk?"

"That was all we did."

"So what are you holding back from me? You're not telling me something." Chris then picked up his books and was about to walk up stairs, when he turned around at the doorway to answer Cole's question.

"He's my brother," And with that he walked up stairs, leaving a very shocked Cole and a confused Emma when she walked in the room to see Cole with his mouth hanging wide open.

Chapter 7

Wyatt walked up the steps to his mother's family home slowly. His mother had asked him to be home early today because of his cousin Leyden's birthday party. Leyden was his Aunt Paige's son, who was turning eight. The boy was loud, obnoxious, and made Wyatt wonder if he really was Phoebe's son. Wyatt had tried to get out of it, claiming he had a project to do with Jeremy, but that didn't work and he still needed to be nice to the family.

Just as he got to the door a flurry of blue orbs surrounded him and a little four year old girl land in his arms. She had reddish-brown, wavy, hair that was pulled back in a pony tail and dark blue eyes. Her name was Bethany Lyn, and she was Paige's youngest and only daughter. Her face was streaked with tears and as she showed him her arm, he knew why. The arm was all scratched and scraped and looked like it needed a little more than a Band-Aid.

"Leyden pushed me." She said in a small voice that he could barely hear. Bethany had always been and incredibly shy girl, so her older brother found it fun to use it against her. This angered Wyatt. Wyatt felt that Leyden was lucky to have been around his sister right from the start.

He raised his arm and healed the arm until no more marks remained and the pain went away. She gave him a hug and whispered "Thank you" in his ear. He whipped the tear stains from her face and opened the door to the house. As they walked in, he put her on the floor and she ran off into another room. Leo walked out from the living room carrying a few presents to the dinning room.

"Hey! Wondered when you'd get here. Everyone's been waiting!" The smile on Leo face never wavered and it took immense amount of self control for Wyatt to not gag. He followed Leo out towards the dinning room to find all the children running around the table, except for Bethany who'd found a doll to play with at the table.

Just as Leyden ran past Wyatt, he scooped him up and put him so he could look him in the eyes. Leyden tried to wiggle and get away but to no avail.

"Hey! Let me go! It's my birthday!"

"I know what day it is, but that doesn't give you a right to hurt your sister." The glare Wyatt gave the boy made Leyden quit his attempts of trying to escape. "Don't hurt her again. You're lucky you get to spend this time with her. Be a big brother, not a dipshit."

The thought to yell to the adults that Wyatt swore passed through Leyden's mind, but he still wanted to make it to age nine.

"What do you mean 'Lucky'?" Leyden asked with curiosity filling his head.

"Well why don't you find out? This family has more secrets than you'll ever know." That last part Wyatt had to whisper because Uncle Henry came out from the kitchen carrying a cake with the other adults behind him sing. Wyatt put the boy down and let him run to the table with the other children. Leyden glanced back once, but by then Wyatt's glare had disappeared, and for the first time in his young life, Leyden saw the smirk that Wyatt always gave as a smile.

Cole looked down at his 'children' as they lay asleep together on Chris' bed. After telling Cole what happened, Chris had gone to his room and Emma followed. He allowed her to enter, but left the door locked when Cole tried to go in. Cole could have just shimmered into the room, and almost did, but decided to give them some space.

Finally an hour later, Cole was able to open the door. It seemed that Chris had kept it locked with magic, and once he fell asleep the door unlocked. When Cole walked in he found the two of them sound asleep curled up together. The scene was too adorable for Cole to wake them up, so he just covered them over with a blanket.

I need to thank Emma for getting him relaxed was the last thought he had as he closed the bedroom door again and walked down the hall to his own room.

Chris woke up to light in his eyes. As he opened his eyes he found that it was morning, and the light was sun light. The alarm clock read 7:20, and he was very grateful it was Saturday. He looked down in his arms to find Emma curled up against him sleeping. He didn't want to move, but in the language of the guys on the football team, natures calling.

He slowly sat up and once he was all the way up Emma curled up with his pillow. Opening the door quietly he snuck out of the room and down the hall. He peeked into Cole's room to find that Cole already left. Sheesh! His room is messier than mine! Chris had to smile at that thought. Cole wasn't very good at house cleaning.

When he made it to the bath room, he found a note on the mirror that read: We NEED to talk when I get home. Nothing bad I promise.-Cole

"Yeah, we do need to talk." Chris said out loud. He jumped when a voice from the door way surprised him.

"You really shouldn't talk to your self like that. You're lucky I already know you're crazy." Looks like Emma was up with a smile.
