We were now on the jet and I was by the window just looking out towards the clouds.
I didn't know how to feel at the moment.
In a couple of hours we are going to be face, to face with our biological family. Everything hasn't hit me yet I don't think. I know something is up with them. It doesn't make sense for someone to kidnap us, his kids, all because of business rivalry. They were hiding something. I'm not going to try and find out obviously, because I don't want someone snooping throughout my background either so I won't do it to them unless it seems to endanger Athena.
I want them to let us know on their own so for now I'll leave them to their secrets.
I look around the jet and find Athena talking with Apollo and Zeus. They seem to be getting along great with each other.
Turning back to the window I see Donatello looking at me from the corner of my eye.
Turning to look at him I study him a bit before saying anything. "You can talk to me you know?" He seemed a bit startled before he tried to hurry and cover it up.
By the way he was rubbing his hands down his pants and tapping his fingers together I knew he was nervous.
"How was living with them? It seems like you guys were well taken care of." He says. This time bringing Athenas' attention to him.
"Yeah Aphrodite, how was it?" Her voice was filled with jealousy, sadness, and sarcasm. All laced into one. I was stuck. I wasn't prepared for this question. I don't know why I wasn't expecting him to ask that but it caught me off guard.
"It was good. Nothing I can really complain about you know." I lied. It was always so hard to talk about I was only away from them for a year but everything was still felt fresh in my mind. I knew that kind of trauma wouldn't just magically go away but having a therapist helps.
The only reason I am in therapy was to protect Athena. I knew how my mind could get when I slept and I didn't want to freak her out if she were to ever catch me in a nightmare. I didn't want to hurt her because of one either. It was hard having to talk to a stranger about everything I went through with them people, but I needed to be healthy for my little sister.
She was already having such a hard time herself and I never wanted to put any pressure on her shoulders. I felt guilty. I know it was the right decision to make sure she didn't get hurt with the state she was in but no parents wanted to adopt a sick child. The adoption process was already long, and expensive and having to take on a sick child wouldn't benefit anyone in their minds.
I also feel guilty because I felt relief whenever she wasn't adopted. It was selfish of me to want to keep her there but in that house I knew she was taken care of. She got food everyday, the head lady Ms. May made sure to constantly take care of her, and everyone loved her. I knew that if she left, there was a chance she would get placed in a home like me and I never wanted that for her.
I was knocked out my thoughts when someone shook my leg.
"Hey, where did you go. I've been trying to get your attention for the last couple of minutes. Everything okay?" At this point everyone was looking at me when Donatello said that. It was making me uncomfortable.
"I- um, yeah I'm okay. Sorry it's just nerves and I'm tired. Hey i'm just going to take a nap. Just wake me when we get there." I could feel my heart pounding so turning towards the window again I put my head against it and close my eyes. I want this day to end already.
~Time Skip~
Pulled from my sleep by the jet landing, I wait a few seconds before standing from my seat and picking up my bag.
Looking over to Athena I see her doing the same and as we lock eyes I see her roll her eyes at me before walking off the jet.
I lean my head back already feeling a headache coming on. I head off the jet and into the car they had waiting for us.
"So what should we expect?" Athena asks.
"Well as you know there are 4 more boys at the house. You've already met Lorenzo, Raphael, Apollo, and Zeus. Then you have Hades, Ares your other older brothers, then we have the twins Atlas and Damon. They're six." Donatello explains.
"That's a lot of people in the house how do you deal with it all." Athena questions. I guess she's trying to make conversation.
"Well everyone but the twins are grown up so it's easier then before when I had all of you guys in the house. Aphrodite use to be attached to Lorenzo. So we never really had to look after her because she only wanted him or you." Donatello explains.
"I wish I had grown up with you." Her tone was sad as she said that and it causes my heart to clench knowing how much she's wanted a family.
She would talk to me all the time about finally being adopted, and being able to have her own room without having to share.
She was finally able to have her own room at the house I moved us into but she hated it.
She hated being with me, she thinks I betrayed her and I haven't given her any reason to think otherwise, so I understand the hatred she has for me.
I just wish it hurt less knowing I saved her more than she could ever know.
The car pulled to a stop as they pulled up to a giant gate that I'm guessing leads up to the house. The driver puts the code in and the gates open.
There in the driveway was a beautiful fountain that I would most definitely be coming out to all the time.
As the car pulls to a stop I take my seatbelt off and get ready to head inside.
"You girls ready?" Donatello says.
"Yeah" Athena replies and I just give him a nod and we head towards the front doors.
As the doors open I can see the rest of our family just waiting for us.
A couple of them were pacing the carpet and when the door opened they stilled.
