He wondered why they were here so soon. He had not expected them to arrive just a week after Anna. This was too much for him.

"Aiden!" Sarah exclaimed, running towards him with her arms reached out in front of her.

Because he was caught off guard by their arrival, she wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly. Sarah was the youngest sister amongst his four older sisters. She has long, brunette hair and green eyes that appeared very innocent like.

For a brief moment, his heart was overwhelmed with emotions, seeing her appear the same after all these years, before the feeling disappeared with anger that she was here. He was not sure what made him feel upset. It could have just been the fact that she was here, or that he felt a sense of happiness, seeing her after so many years.

He struggled against her tight grip as she held him tightly, landing kisses on his face relentlessly. He was almost sure that he would be the laughing show of the hospital if she continued on with this.

Too much was happening at once that it was starting to get hard to keep up with. First, there were the rumors, or actual facts, going around that he was finally seeing a woman and staying committed to her. And then, Anna showed up, trying to force him into talking to her about why he had been away for so long. Then, Elise had told him that he was not ready to be in a relationship.

It was not the fact that he could not be in one, it was who he could not be with. That alone was hard to deal with, and now, his sisters were here.

"Sarah, let go," he hissed tightly, still trying to push her.

She laughed, releasing her hold on him a little, but not enough to get her away. "Aww, you're still the same, Ai. You don't have to be shy," she said, using one of her hands to pull on his cheeks.

He grimaced, pushing her off him gently, not wanting to hurt her. He just wanted space. "Why the hell are you guys here?" he asked. Even though he had rehearsed in his head many times how he would treat his sisters when they got here, he could not bring himself to hurt them.

"How do you know it's not just me?" she asked with a pout on her lips.

He groaned, wiping a hand down his face. "Because you guys come in packs, just like you came out during birth. If it's one, it's all," he said, sounding agitated.

"Well, we were all looking for you...but, I was the lucky one to find you," she said, grinning. "Oh, you're still so adorable with your messy hair!" She grabbed his head, pulling his face down to her breast so she could reach the top of his head to ruffle his hair easily.

He let out an exaggerated sigh and pulled his head from her. "Will you stop? People are staring at us," he hissed at her.

She burst out laughing, turning to everyone who seemed to be standing around, watching the scene. "Isn't my brother just the most adorabl—"

He grabbed her wrist, dragging her with him before he barked at everyone, telling them to get back to work. He surely did not expect his day to turn out this way.

"Why are you guys here?" he asked them all grouchily after he made them sit on the couch in his office in a mannerly order.

Him and Sarah searched around the entire hospital to find them all. It had taken him a while to get them off of him, showering him with their "love."

More like smothering...

Sandra stood up, pointing an accusing finger at him as she glared at him. "You know exactly why we're here so early, mister," she said.

He sighed, remembering why she was exactly like him. Bold, critical, straight to the point, and always willing to get her point across. Though she was less cold-hearted than he was, he still felt that he could relate more to her than his other sisters.
