"I'm having a stupid heartburn" I told Meg over the phone "What's the name of your meds?" She told me and I thanked her.. This burn won't go away.. I think I got those acid refluxes like Megan.. If the medicine doesn't work, I'll go see a doctor.

"I'll get you the meds, when I come back I want to see those exercises finished." Tobias ordered.. He's tutoring me now so I'd pass my exams.. He left after putting a kiss on my cheek. We've been together for a month now, I still haven't talked to my parents ever since that christmas vaccation when they told us about their lovers.. I remember leaving the house with Riley as fast as I could.. Steve couldn't leave so he's just not talking to them and he's dropping Emma at grandma's house instead of aunt Jacky's. The others left the house the next morning disgusted by our parents' actions.. If they just got a divorce earlier it would be easier.. Couldn't they pretend that they didn't have lovers? I should start solving the problems.


"Tommy please baby don't be upset" Riley said "So what if Tobias won.. I love you and I don't care about the stupid panda" She tried to cheer him up.

"Loser" I told him as I passed by holding Tobby's hand and the huge panda in the other.

"Shut up Hillary" Riley yelled.. I can't see myself telling Tobias that I love him.. Riley keeps saying it to Tom.

We were at the fair and we are supposed to meet our siblings today after a long time.. Zack was the one who came up with the idea.. Riley, Steven, Tom and Tobby, Kayla and I went on this 5 hour drive to this fun place.. The others are supposed to be here any minute now.

"Zackarie, Amanda!" I yelled waving at them.. It's been a long time. We found the rest soon after I found the couple.

"Who's this Jade?" Zack questioned making us laugh.. Jade got a boyfriend, Jermy got a girlfriend and James is still the player..

"Zack you know about him, He's Andrieh" Andrieh was half african american, tall, nice body, he got green eyes and curly short hair.. He kind of looked like Jackson on Grey's anatomy. I called him barbie.. He looks like a beautiful doll.

Zack nodded at him.. "Nice to meet you all." He said with a soft tone.

"I'm in love" I said loudly and everyone started to laugh except for my boyfriend who glared at me. "What! I'm kidding" I told my jealous man.

"Stop kidding" He said and I pulled a face at him.

"So Andrieh, what are your intentions towards Jade?"

"Um.. I" He started but I quickly cut him off.

"Don't answer him, he's just jealous you're hotter than him" I said and got death glares from my elder bro. What can I say.. It's a great feeling to be able to annoy him.

"Jermy? Aren't you going to intruduce your girlfriend?" Megan questioned making then stop kissing.

"Oh sorry.." He straightened himself on the chair. "Everyone this is Heather, Heather this is everyone." He said.

"I really thought that you were gay" Steven said with a huge grin on his face.. "Watch it.." He said when Jermy was about to hit him "I'm holding a baby" He told him with a grin.

We started sharing stories and we got to know the new people.. Heather was hilarious and Andrieh was cool.. Kayla was ecstatic to meet the rest.

"Guys.. Guys" Amanda yelled over our loud commotion. "Don't you want to know why we called you all to come?"

"I thought to catch up and talk" Megan said.

"No idiot we can do that on the phone" Zack said. "Amanda and I want to tell you something"

"Don't tell me you got married secretly" Riley said.

"No silly.. Amanda and I.. We're having a baby" Cheers went all around the table and congrats were said. Another baby, at least this one will have a mom. Oh Emma, I feel so sorry for her. I took her away from Steve and started playing with her making her laugh.

"Guys.. Don't you think it's time to talk to mom and dad?" James asked "I mean they thought they were doing the right thing by hiding the truth for our protection.. I think we should cut them some slack.."

"Yeah.. I miss them" I confessed. "But I'm not ready to meet the boyfriend and girlfriend.. I'm not comfortable with the idea yet"

"Me niether" Riley said.

We called both of them and told them to meet us tomorrow at the family house without the lovers.. Next day we told them everything.. They were happy that we called and happy to have a new addition to the family and most of all happy that we forgave them.

"Hillary" My sweet Tobby called my name.

"Yeah?"

"I was wondering.. Do you like me?"

"Are you crazy? You're my boyfriend of course I like you"

"Then why were you flirting with Jade's boyfriend."

"Ewww.. Do you understand what you said? He's Jade's boyfriend.. I wasn't flirting."

"You did say he's hot and you're in love with him"

"Well.. Now that you mentioned it" I said trying to annoy him and succeeding. "Kidding."

"Stop jocking like that okay?"

"Someone is being insecure" I teased but he grabbed my waist, pulled me to him and kissed me.. He knows how to shut me up that boy.




Two months has past and we finally opened up to meet mom and dad's lovers under one condition, we'd all gather on christmas vaccation in the family house..

"I wonder what they look like" I told Jade who was preparing the Christmas dinner with Amanda. Our lovers couldn't come since they had to spend christmas with there families.. It's only us.

"Mom hey" I said when I opened the door.. She was accompanied with a guy that looked in the early 50s.. He got a bit of grey hair, hazel eyes like dad and us, he looks good, but not as good as dad. "Kevin right?" I asked him.

"You must be one of the twins" A girl from behind spoke up.. I actually thought it was Kevin's daughter until I saw dad next to her with his hand down her waist..

"No shit Sherlock" I said suddenly irritated by her presence.. She's like 30 years old.. 6 years older than Zack. 10 years older than Jade.. 12 years older than me!! She could be our sister.. Dad is definately passing through his midlife crises.. What is he thinking.

"Britney, this is my daughter Hillary"

"Oh my God.. How old is she? 30?" Jade interrupted him.

"Actually 27" She said making us swallow hard and my heartburn that wouldn't leave started to hurt even more.

"27?? I'm 20.. She's 3 years older than Zack.. What the hell Dad"

"Be polite.." Dad said firmly

"Hell no.." was the last thing I heard before I fainted..
