For Conrad Fisher, there's one girl that always will have his heart: his little sister, Devon Fisher. She was the most beautiful girl he has seen, beautiful not just by looks but more by her interior. He always said something shines inside Devon. Even though he has another sister and he is well aware that she is as beautiful as Devon, they connect in ways he and Willow will never do. In the end with siblings it is not just because we may have a favorite one or not but sometimes we connect in a way you will never do with the others and that's fine.
Willow Fisher, Susannah's second-born and first daughter. For Willow was something like Conrad felt for Devon but she did with his little brother Jeremiah. They connected in a way she didn't with their other siblings, she was like a protector for him. Since the Fisher siblings were kids, they knew who they were most attached to.
¨Jeremiah you are dripping all over the floor.¨ Sussanah scolds him as he comes running inside after being in the pool, but the little 7-year-old boy forgot to bring a towel.
¨Mommy, I'll clean it, dont worry.¨ 8-year-old Willow calms down her mother.
Little Jeremiah softly smiled at his sister and ran to her, Willow welcomed him with open arms and a towel that was resting on the sofa beside her. She embraced her brother in the towel, giving him a warm hug, then she helped him dry down. While they did so, they heard footsteps coming down. Nine-year-old Conrad was very focused on six-year-old Devon walking down the stairs, looking at every step so he makes sure she doesn't stumble down. Once reaching the floor, Devon walks towards the table, bouncing her pigtails as the smell of freshly prepared food covers the room, little Conrad following behind. Although he stopped as soon as his bare feet almost slipped in the trace of water, Conrad looked at his siblings that were already looking at him.
¨Jeremiah you have to be more careful, Devon could have slipped!¨ Willow's grip on Jere tightened in protection.
¨Hey, don't you yell at him!¨ Willow answers back.
"Well, tell your brother to dry off before he comes into the house.¨
"Yeah, but you don't have to yell at him."
Conrad took his eyes off Willow's and focused them on Jeremiah. "Clean it up, Jere." He said in a more calm tone, but still, it was firm.
¨Con calm down, and Jere please clean it up.¨ Sussanah enters the room again.
Jeremiah tried to break away from his sister but she wouldn't let him. ¨I'll do it, Jere, go to the pool.¨ Jere looked up at her sister and smiled, and Conrad rolled his eyes.
Willow grabbed some paper and bent down to start cleaning up, but soon realized she was short of paper. She was about to get up when she felt a little hand holding out more paper, it was Jeremiah who smiled at her and bent down to clean up with his sister. Susannah smiled when she saw that little scene, even Conrad wanted to smile and he even did it for a second before a loud noise coming from the dining room took everyone's attention. Conrad was the first to run towards the room, then Susannah and the others.
Little Devon was on the floor eating what was supposed to be in the bowl beside her but now was spread all over the floor.
Willow smiled and laughed, "Clean up what your sister caused, Conrad." Now everyone laughed, even Conrad.
After they finished cleaning up, the Fisher siblings ran towards the pool, but as they passed by a small table that had several portraits of the younger Fisher siblings, one fell down. Susannah grabbed it and for her luck, it wasn't broken, she sighted and shook her head and placed it where it was.
Susannah knew that her children loved each other but the rivalry between them wasn't something she like it so much, but once again they were just kids.
