"Ready babe?" Dylan asked walking into the kitchen. I finished my water and nodded.

"Where are you two going this early?" Scott asked carrying Jonas. He set him into his high chair as he grabbed a cup of coffee.

"Doctors office." Dylan said. I filled Maverick's bowl with fresh water. Scott turned around and looked at us funny.

"Both of you have to go? Is someone dying?"

Maverick's tail hit my leg as he got a drink. I smiled and petted his head.

"No. We don't see each other that often anymore." Dylan covered.

I didn't want to mention anything to Scott right now. He's already got a lot going on right now and he doesn't need to be worrying about me.

"Babe, we gotta go." He said grabbing my hand. Scott shook his head and took a sip of his coffee.

"We will be back soon. Be ready to go!" I yelled as Dylan dragged me towards the door.

"This is taking forever." Dylan said and set the magazine he hand in his hands down. He stood up and began pacing.

I looked back to the magazine I had, trying not to worry. It was hard not too when Dylan was acting this way.

"Why am I acting like this?" He asked himself while running his hands through his hair.

I set my magazine down and grabbed his arm. He turned to me.

"It's going to be okay." I smiled and kissed him. He sighed and I felt his body relax.

"I know it will be. I think I'm a little nervous."

"So am I." I whispered and ran my hands down his chest. "If we are pregnant I don't want to tell anyone."

"What?"

"Not like that." I said with a small laugh. "We can't tell them until after we know whether or not Scott remains the legal guardian of Jonas."

"That's fine. It will be better anyways. That way they won't be worrying more than they already are." I nodded and he grabbed my hand, running his thumb over the engagement ring. He looked up to me and smiled. "If you happen to be pregnant can we do a family dinner at our house with your family and mine?"

"Of course." He kissed my forehead then put his elbows on the thing I was sitting on. I put my hand on his and he kissed it.

The door began to open and the doctor walked in with a clipboard in his hands. Dylan looked to him and then stood up.

"What's the news doc?" Dylan asked squeezing my hand.

"You'll hold him right? Make sure that he will be okay?" Scott asked me as the time got closer to the hearing.

Jonas laid his head on my shoulder, sucking on his pacifier. His little lion stuffed animal was in his hand.

"Scott, everything is going to be okay." I told him.

Dylan appeared next to me, wrapping his arm around my waist.

"Callie and I will watch Jonas." Scott nodded. He put his hands in his pockets then quickly took them out. Dylan and I looked to each other.

"Don't worry, little bro." Wesley said resting his hand on Scott's shoulder.

"I can't let her take him. He's my little guy."

"Where is your sister?!" Mom asked coming over to us. "She's ten minutes late."

"I'm sure she will be in soon." Ryan let mom know. Not even a second later Lauren and Zac were running towards us.

"Sorry, we overslept." Zac apologized. He grabbed Ryan's coffee out of his hands and took a drink. Ryan glared at him and Zac thanked him.

"Cals? Do I look okay? I don't want to look like-"

"You look fine, big brother."

Zac took Jonas from my arms. Dylan kissed my head and placed his hand on the small of my back.

Lauren groaned and sat down on a nearby bench. I felt Dylan's eyes watch me as I approached my sister.

"You alright?"

"I've been so busy that I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I've been planning the wedding- which is why we were late. I was up until two in the morning figuring things out. Plus Zac is doing another movie soon and I have a huge project coming up so I think we will have to do the wedding next year sometime." She sighed. "And my hair is not cooperating."

"Ren, I understand that this is a lot. You need to take some time for yourself. You can't take on all of this responsibility. I can help you with whatever you need, but for right now we need to put our own problems aside and focus on Scott and Jonas." She nodded.

"You're right." I smiled and noticed Scott walking to the other hall. I sighed before standing up.

Why am I always the one helping my siblings when I'm the second youngest? Not that I mind, but right now it's a little stressful.

"Look who's playing social worker today." Kyle said as I went towards Scott.

"At least she's doing something." I heard Zac say. I smiled, but it soon faded as I saw Scott leaning against the wall.

"Hey." I said. He turned his head to me then looked away.

"I can't stand the thought of her possibly being his guardian. She left the two of us and we had no idea where she went." I stood on my tiptoes and wrapped my arms around his neck for a big hug. He sighed and wrapped his arms around me.

"I don't believe she's going to get custody, Scott. I may be your little sister and you may annoy me sometimes, but I love you and I'm going to be here for you, no matter what happens today." He hugged me tighter.

"I love you." He whispered.

"Kids." Dad said. Scott kissed my forehead and then began towards dad. I grabbed his hand and he squeezed it.

"It will be fine." I told him. He grabbed Jonas and kissed his head.

"Daddy will be back soon, kiddo." Scott then handed him to me.

Dylan, Ryan, and I are going to sit outside the doors with Jonas. Also, I figured it would be best because I'd want to say something.

I watched as my family entered the room.

"Could this possibly be the last time that we see Jonas?" Ryan asked quietly, tickling his tummy with a finger.

I looked up to Dylan and he looked to me.

I hope not.
