Max POV

My God they really are tiny. Pandora fit perfectly into the crook of my arm, her hands felt so small and soft compared to mine. Newt was extremely fascinated with my beard, he kept gently tugging on it. It felt weird to have such small hands comb through my beard, Matthew had no intention to do anything except seemingly count the number of bugs on the light. Her arms wiggled in the general direction of a bug and she quietly babbled something. Ross looked peaceful as he snored softly in the passenger's seat, in the back seat we had three color coded baby seats. Red for Newt, Orange for Pandora, and Grey for Matthew. Thankfully the kids decided to be quite too the only thing I heard from them was soft breathing and the occasional roll over. I turned down the street and carefully backed into the driveway, I saw Ross stir as he blinked slowly stretching.

"Morning sunshine" I said kissing his forehead, Ross touched my face gently as his eyes tried to focus.

"It's 4 in the afternoon Max" He grumbled sleepily he pushed his glasses up to rub his eyes, I saw Newt copy his motions rubbing his eyes. Pandora looked at me then at Newt tilting her head to the side as if she was confused why he was doing that. Matthew was carefully evaluating Milton who was sitting on the stairs his tail wagging faster than it should be.

"Come on Narwhal, everybody is on edge waiting for you" I said gently, I could tell how tired he really was having Doctors prod at you for two weeks must have been hard on him. He blinked at me smiling, he unbuckled himself and opened his car door and stepped out. I followed suit, He picked up Matthew and Newt while I picked up Pandora. I think she's my favorite.

"What do you mean on edge? I was only gone for a few days right?" Ross asked shifting his hold on Newt who was twisting to get a better look at the world around him. I stopped in shock, was he really that heavily drugged that he didn't know how long he was there? Damn just damn.

"No Ross you were there for two weeks, what did they do to you?" I asked putting my free hand on his shoulder. Ross looked up briefly before turning back to me his eyes were pricked with unshed tears, Matthew looked away from Milton and gently touched Ross' glasses. Ross smiled and touched noses with Matthew before looking back at me.

"They wanted to test my body after birth and they told me I would be under for a few day. I accepted and let them look, but when I got out of it they told me that Matthew might be developing schizophrenia. She's been found in a catatonia, and they're not sure if they should give her light dosses of medication or not. I refused the medication they wanted to give her. But I'm scared Max, schizophrenia can really mess a person up, I'm scared of what it might do to Mattie." He said shakily he really was shaken up about this, Matthew was almost stroking Ross' face as if she was trying to comfort him.

But Damn.

I know schizophrenia can really screw with people's heads, just like it did to my uncle I don't even remember his name. I was always told to stay away from the 'crazy man' at family reunions, he would just sit by himself in the corner of the room and talk to himself. I don't want Mattie to end up like that, the very thought nearly breaks my heart. This was my child, my flesh and blood and if fate wanted to make her crazy it have to do it over my cold dead body!

"Hey Ross, they said she might have it they don't know yet, she could have been asleep with her eyes open. I know I used to do that, so she could have got my amazing don't get caught by the teacher genes" I said touching our foreheads together, I saw Pandora reach out and touch Mathew's arm and Newt touched her other arm. We really are some screwed up family aren't we? But in the best way.

"Ye" Ross said after a minute of silence he walked towards the door with Rascal and Milton jumping at our heels, he shifted Matthew so that she was up by his shoulder and opened the door.

The living room was huge, the pictures made it look a lot smaller but it was all earthy colors just like the rest of the house. Ross smiled and quietly started up the stairs barley making a sound, while I sounded like a bull in a china closet Pandora looked at me and apparently sighed. She was disappointed of my inability to move quietly.

I heard Ross open a door just as I saw him disappear around the corner, he smiled softly at the room everything was color coded and thanks to Adam and the guys "Fucking Hilarious" sense of humor they also coded them by animal. Pandora was a snake with her orange color I nearly killed Adam and Barney on the spot until they said that Pandora reminded them of Greek mythology. Newt got a Lizard in his red, this took me a minute to figure out but apparently they thought about Maze Runner when they got his and Blade Beatles were apparently lizards so they got him lizards.

 Matthew got bears, they said it was a tough call between cats and bears but chose bears because "This is a descendent of Ross and Max, lazy yet powerful enough to take down a grown man, not to mention terrifying as fuck. But with a large warm heart that was locked in a safe that terminator couldn't break through without permission. I loved that explanation, you know why? If Ross and me were a fusion that's probably the description Ross would use to describe us.

"Hey Max" Ross whispered "I'm going to go downstairs and run, I hear Adam and Jin trying to scramble out of their rooms now" I nodded at him as I realized that Jin and Adam sounded like fighting elephants, I hear their doors slam open as soon as Ross made it to the stairs.

"This is why Daddy makes Mom take self-defense classes, so she doesn't get run over by these idiots" I crooned at Pandora who giggled, I set her down in her bed and turned off the lights I saw Newt and Matthew sleeping.

I love my tiny kids.

A/N okay this chapter was a pain to write because I wrote it in ten minute bursts and let my computer cool down for twenty minutes. But I have a question to ask you guys, do you want me to make a day by day story or just skip to some of their important moment's in life because let's face it kids don't do much at this age. So comment what you think I should do! And have a good day or night at the time that I'm posting this. ;-;

Love-Kitten
