NEWT POV

A sister? I have a sister? I look at Sonya's sleeping form. I guess we do look alike. I put my hands on either side of my head. This is so much. Too much. I have to wake Thomas. I walk quietly over to him.

"Tommy." I whisper. "Tommy, I need you to wake up now."

He groans. "Newt, it's the middle of the goddamn night. What do you need?" He pushes himself up. 

I bite my lip.

"Newt?" He says.

"I'm...I'm having memories." I say.

"What?" He asks. "What do you mean you're having memories? WICKED took our memories." 

"They're just snippets of memories." I say. "Just...little things. Well, not little things. Just small amounts."

"What did you remember, Newt?" He asks me, eyes narrowing. 

"Sonya..." I say. "She's my sister."

Thomas's jaw drops. "W-what? You have a sister?" 

"I suppose so." I say, running a hand through my hair.

"Does she know?" Thomas asks.

"No. I kind of just remembered." I say. 

"And you woke me?" Thomas says. "Go tell her! Now!"

"But she's asleep!" I whisper-shout.

"That wasn't a problem with me!" He cries.

"You're different!" I hiss. 

"I should hope so." He says.

I roll my eyes. "Bloody hell, Tommy."

"I love you." He says.

"Yeah, yeah, I love you too." I rise to my feet. "Tomorrow, I'll tell her tomorrow."

Thomas grabs my wrist. "Don't go." He looks up at me. I smile.

"Tommy, I have to. You need to sleep." I say. 

"So do you, dumbass." He says, pulling me down. 

"Hey!" I cry. 

He wraps his arms around me. "If you aren't going to tell Sonya, you are staying with me." 

I give in, laying next to him. 

He kisses my cheek. "Now, sleep, please. You never do unless I make you."

I close my eyes. "Fine, Tommy."


The next morning, I wake up before Thomas. I climb out of his arms. The only other one up is Aris. I walk over to him. 

"Hey." I say.

"Hey, Newt." He says. 

"I was wondering..." I say. "Did Sonya say anything to you. About me?"

"Aren't you dating Thomas?" He asks.

"Oh god, no, not like that. God no. " I say, shaking my head. "I mean, I was talking to her earlier. Did she say anything about that?"

Aris shakes his head. "No."

I nod. "Okay. Well, tell her I need to talk to her, kay?"

Aris agrees and I walk back over to Thomas. I lay my hand on his arm.

"Hey, Tommy, wake up." I whisper in his ear.  

He doesn't wake up. I lean down and kiss him gently. His eyes flicker open and he kisses me back.
