Jamie and I lay on CC's red leather couches after rugby. We plays locks, second line in the scrum and we get thrown for line outs. Our team is well (pardon my French), full of cunts! The one flanker is like queen cunt! I don't know how I'm going to work with them!

That's about the time the boys walk in, Rikki and CC both deciding that my bony legs were best seat in the house.

"How's the team?" Bret wonders, digging through our fridge.

"Not the '27 Yankees." I mutter and Rikki laughs.

"Bee got into three fights." Jamie laughs.

"Three?" CC questions while breaking my tibia.

"I only count it as one because it was the same girl." I admit.

"You called her the queen of cunts!" Jamie laughs.

"You met the broad, I wasn't far off." I say and the boys laugh.

We all talk for a while and drink, so it's a normal afternoon. Rikki and CC learnt that my legs are in fact boney so decide to move off of them. Rikki sits beside me on the couch with his arm wrapped around my shoulders, I lean my head against him. CC sits awkwardly beside us.

After talking for the better part of an hour, there's a knock on our door.

"I didn't know it still did that!" CC admits. "Everyone just walks in now."

CC gets up to open the door and we all look back to see who it is. The door opens and my heart drops to my stomach to my feet. Blonde hair and 100% blue eyed soul fill the door way in the form of my older brother, sister, and my niece.

"Shit." I mutter.

"Hi Aunt Bee." Robyn says up at CC.

"Ana, you're raising an asshole." CC tells our sister, while picking up our niece. "I missed you, honey."

"I miss you to." Robyn smile as he puts her down.

Without missing a beat, Robyn walks over to me and smiles.

"You left me alone with your sister." Robyn crosses her arms, in the same jokey way that CC and I share.

"Honey, I've dealt with her for the better part of twenty four years, it's your turn." I smile and she lights up.

"Bianca Eleanor!" My sister complains as I hug my niece, everyone laughs.

"Ana Martha." I complain back. "Told you your mom was a pain."

"And your aunt is an impulsive smart ass." Ana laughs. "Remember the hospital?"

"Been here two minutes and you've brought that up already?" I say as I get up.

I stand taller than all my siblings but George. I don't get along with him, he's a parents wet dream. All state football, full scholarship to the best schools in the country and is now a doctor. He makes the rest of us look bad.

CC and I introduce our siblings and niece to everyone (I took special care in introducing Rikki as my boyfriend). We talk for a while before we get into the real reason our flesh and blood are here.

"Mom send you to spy on us?" CC wonders.

"On partially." Ana admits. "Baby in particular."

She points at me, being the youngest (even if it is by thirteen minutes) I hit dubbed Baby. They all use it, CC has stopped knowing how much it bothers me.

"They still pissed?" I wonder.

"Very. Mom was going off about how her Baby needs to be protected." George speaks up.

"The accident was twenty years ago." I mutter.

When I was little, I was in a car wreck. I'm obviously fine but I don't remember it at all. It killed my aunt. Mom's been on a roll ever since about poor helpless Baby Bee. I'm a fucking adult just drop it already.

"So I'm curious, what happened at the hospital?" Bret speaks up, CC and I smile.

"I was in labor for Robyn and I was about to give birth. I asked where the baby's godmother, Bianca, was. The doctor told me getting X-rays because between her and her eighteen year old twin, they broke her arm." Ana explains.

"We weren't eighteen yet." I say. " I was still under mom and dad's blue cross."

"Besides, it was Bianca's arm. It was her fault for landing stupid." CC speaks up and I look at him.

"You flipped the wheelchair with me in it." I say and everyone laughs.

"Why were you playing in a wheelchair to start with?" George wonders in that 'I'm better than you' sense.

"Ana was in labor for twelve hours!" CC and I complain in unison, making everyone laugh harder.

"CC do you have a girlfriend yet?" Ana wonders in that annoying big sister way.

"No, why would I want that?" CC wonders.

"I know what I'm doing later." Ana snickers.

"Ana, no." CC tells her and we laugh.
