As George, Legend, and Queen found themselves at home, their family responsibilities took on new dimensions. With Queen still on house arrest, George and Legend stepped up to help care for their younger siblings, Quest, Steven, and Carson, while their parents were away on their respective jobs.

Taking on roles of caretakers, George and Legend embraced the challenge with determination and maturity beyond their years. Whether it was helping with homework, preparing meals, or simply providing comfort and companionship, they ensured that their younger siblings were well looked after in their parents' absence.

Meanwhile, Queen navigated the complexities of house arrest, finding ways to occupy herself within the confines of their home. Despite the limitations, she remained resilient, using the time to reflect on her actions and plan for a better future.

Though their circumstances were challenging, the family remained united in their support for one another. From George and Legend's selfless dedication to caring for their siblings to Queen's determination to make amends for her mistakes, they drew strength from each other, knowing that together, they could overcome any obstacle that came their way. And as they navigated this chapter in their lives, they did so with love, resilience, and unwavering determination to emerge stronger and more united than ever before. As Steven's cries filled the air, George immediately sprang into action, his instincts as a caring older brother kicking in. He swiftly picked Steven up, cradling him gently in his arms, and began to soothe him with soft words and comforting touches.

With practiced ease, George prepared a bottle of formula, ensuring that Steven was fed and content. As Steven hungrily latched onto the bottle, his cries began to subside, replaced by the gentle sounds of sucking and swallowing.

Once Steven had finished his bottle, George carefully changed his diaper, making sure to clean him thoroughly and make him as comfortable as possible. With each tender movement, he showered Steven with love and care, determined to ease his distress and bring him comfort.

Finally, with Steven's diaper changed and his hunger satisfied, George settled into a rocking chair, cradling his baby brother close to his chest. He gently rocked back and forth, the rhythmic motion lulling Steven into a peaceful slumber.

As George sat there, holding Steven in his arms, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and contentment. Despite the challenges they faced, moments like these reminded him of the bond they shared as siblings and the strength they found in each other's love and support. And as he continued to rock Steven gently, he knew that no matter what obstacles lay ahead, they would face them together, as a family.
