As the brothers sat in the living room, still reeling from the unexpected visit and deep in conversation about how to protect Y/N, they were unaware that she had woken up. Little Y/N, now fully awake, climbed out of her crib with surprising determination. She toddled down the hallway, her tiny footsteps barely making a sound.

Reaching the living room, she saw Nick, Chris, and Matt engaged in a serious discussion. Even at her young age, she could sense the tension in the air. Without hesitation, she made a beeline for Matt, her favorite brother.

As she reached the center of the room, Y/N took a deep breath and screamed with all the force her little lungs could muster, "MATT IS MINE!!"

The brothers’ conversation came to an abrupt halt. They turned to see Y/N standing there, her face red with emotion, her little fists clenched in determination. The sight was both surprising and endearing.

Matt immediately bent down to scoop her up into his arms, his earlier anger replaced by a tender smile. "Hey, Y/N. What are you doing up, little one?"

Y/N clung to him, her small arms wrapping tightly around his neck. "Matt is mine," she repeated, her voice softer but still insistent.

Nick and Chris exchanged amused yet understanding looks. Chris smiled warmly. "Looks like we know who’s the boss around here."

Nick nodded, laughing softly. "You’ve got that right. Matt belongs to Y/N, and we wouldn’t have it any other way."

Matt hugged Y/N close, feeling the weight of her tiny body against his chest. "Don’t worry, Y/N. I’m not going anywhere. I’m all yours."

Y/N, reassured by Matt’s words, snuggled deeper into his embrace, her earlier frustration melting away. She looked over at Nick and Chris, as if daring them to challenge her claim.

Chris chuckled, reaching out to gently tickle her foot. "We know, Y/N. We promise Matt is yours. We’re just borrowing him for a bit."

Nick nodded in agreement. "You’re the most important person in his life, and ours too."

Matt, feeling an overwhelming surge of love for his little sister, kissed the top of her head. "You’re our special girl, Y/N. We’ll always be here for you."

The brothers resumed their conversation, but this time with Y/N nestled securely in Matt’s lap. They spoke in softer tones, careful to avoid any topics that might upset her. They made plans to ensure her safety and happiness, discussing potential legal actions to secure their guardianship more firmly.

Y/N, content in Matt’s arms, began to doze off again, the warmth and security of her family lulling her back to sleep. As she drifted off, the brothers felt a renewed sense of purpose. They knew that no matter what challenges they faced, their love for Y/N would guide them and give them the strength to protect her.

With Y/N safely asleep in Matt’s embrace, the brothers felt a deep sense of unity and determination. They would do everything in their power to ensure that she remained in the loving home they had built together.

In the middle of the night, Y/N stirred awake in her crib. The house was quiet, with only the soft hum of the refrigerator and the occasional creak of the house settling. Feeling a bit restless, she decided to venture out of her room, driven by a sense of curiosity and the need for comfort.
