Xander's POV:

"Finire il lavoro, o non tornare. Se torni senza i miei soldi, non tornerai da tua moglie e dai tuoi figli." (Finish the job, or don't come back. If you come back without my money, you won't make it back to your wife and kids.) I yell at the man, whom is supposed to be making a shipment, instead of trying to chicken out.
"Si Cappo" He responds.

"Jackson, get in here. Now!" In a matter of seconds my brother walks through the door. "Yeah, what's up?" He asks cheerfully.
"You were going to go make sure the deal gets fin-" I hold my finger up signaling I'm not done, as my phone rings.
"What!" I park into the phone.
"H-hello,"A female voice comes through the phone, "Is this Xander King?" She asks.
"Yes, whom may be asking?" I asked annoyed, yet curious.
"Oh," she clears her throat. "This is Emma Parker, from social services. I'm calling to discuss your sister's case and guardianship placement. Winter Still, 16 years old. Due to unfortunate circumstances involving a, Patrick Stephen, we are looking for a guardian, and you are her only remaining relatives."

I was in shock, she's found. After so many years we finally found her.

*FlashBack*

We are sitting at our large dining table, waiting for father to explain why he called this meeting. Winter will be awake soon and we all want to play with her.
"OK boys, I know you probably want to know why I asked you here." He waited for us to nod, before continuing. "I don't know how to tell you this," He mumbled, but we heard him. I'm now anxious to hear what he has to say.
"Dad, hurry please winter is going to be up." Seven year old Jackson said, this immediately got the twins wound up. "Yay win-win, 'addy go play!" They squeal in sink and glared at each other. As usual, this results in laughter from the two toddlers.
"Boys, that's the problem." Dad stopped to stare at the table with a frown. I wonder what's wrong. I look to my right where my brothers are in order from oldest to youngest, except Winter's highchair which is after Jackson, and before the twins seats. Exchanging a look with Jackson, we went back to dad.

"She's gone, they're both gone." He says, with tears slipping down his cheek.
"What?" I ask, worried and confused. "Your mom, left with Winter last night. When we were sleeping they left, an-and I don't know w-where they are!" By now my dad is crying and yelling. I've never seen my dad cry, he said crying is for babies not Kings.
"Dad," I say very confused, and upset, but I can't cry. "You'll find her." I'm determined. I'm not losing my sister.
"Why?" I hear from Trevor, he's crying too. We don't cry, why are they crying? Dad says no crying.
"I don't know" dad's voice cracks.
"Win no p'ay?" Tony cries.

Stop! Please!
This isn't happening!

"No!" Jackson stands, knocking his chair back. "They can't be gone! Mom, Winnie! Come here!" He yells. "Please." He whispers after a minute.
My dad and all three of my brothers are crying. "We will find them!" I say very stern, I'm still confused. Dad gets up with a nod and walks towards his office, I follow him, but he's already closed his office door.

*Time Skip To That Afternoon 10 PM*

Tossing and turning, I can't sleep. Looking at my clock it says '10:14 PM' great. Groaning, I walk out of my room down the stairs, through the kitchen, and up to dads office door. I knock waiting to hear "Come in." Before entering.
"Hey buddy, You should be in bed." He states.
"Can't sleep." I simply state with a shrug. Nodding, dad stands.
"Do you need anything? Water maybe, uh, maybe a small bedtime snack? That's allowed right, your mom gave you those right?" He states unsurely. Dad usually helped mom with us unless he was busy, why is he acting unsure?
I shake my head, but nod as I answer his question. "Yeah, but I don't want anything. Just Winter and mom back." I'm not sure why, but not knowing Winter is here and safe, is the only thing I could think about.
That night, sitting back down.
"I know, I know." He reassures, running a hand through his hair.

The sound of the door opening draws both our attention to two boys, with a blanket and a bear, Winters bear. Standing at the entrance, with tears in their eyes.
" 'addy" Tony cries.
Dad gets up and moves Tony's disheveled hair out of his eyes. "I know."
"Winter won't sleep without that!" A voice from the hall says.

It's Jackson, and he's right. Pointing at the bear he starts crying "dad she won't sleep without it. Why is it here?!"
Before dad can say anything I cut in. "Stop crying!" Everybody looks at me. "You told us crying is for babies, for the weak, not the kings. Because we have family to keep us strong. Never cry, you said it! How will we find them if we're crying?" I say, dad looks at me shocked while my brothers all nod, wiping their tears away.
"Y-you said no-" my voice cracks, and An unwanted tear slips from my eye and dad rushes over to me. "I know, I know. I was wrong, so very wrong. It's OK to be sad. Especially when you lose someone important to you. When you lose family that's when you cry. When you didn't protect those you promise to protect no matter what you cry. But you also fight to get them back and become stronger and you don't give up." He states wiping the tears off my cheek.
My brothers joined us, standing by me. Dad looks at each of us as he says, "it's OK to cry" that's all it took and I broke into a wrecking sobs. "Winter, dad, we have to find her." I sob.

Dad pulls all of us into a hug as we all cry.

*End Of FlashBack*

"Hello?" The lady asks, pulling me from my memory. "Yes ma'am, sorry. Yes we'll take care of her." I say still in shock. I can't believe we found her. We won't let her down again.
"Awesome, I will arrange a time for her to pack her things. And a flight to you. When Would you be ready to bring her in?" She lists.
"Tomorrow." I say without thinking.
After discussing arrangements, I'm finally able to arrange everything here and tell the boys. The clearing of the throat catches my attention. I look up to see Jackson. Shit forgot he was here. "Who is that?" He asks.
"Social worker." I stay still a little surprised. "Why is a social worker calling you?"

"We found her." I cut off his questioning. He looks at me for a minute before realization crosses his features. "Really?! Where?! Let's go get her!"
"No need. She'll be here tomorrow, you'll pick her up, at the airport."

We found our baby.
