Mercy's POV

I woke up to Sable snoring quietly beside me. Wait... what? Why is she in my bed? What happened last night? Memories of myself crying in the corner of the dark room flooded through my memory. I hope she had accepted me last night, I hope I didn't do anything wrong or out of character. Gee I hope we didn't talk and tell each other our secrets. I bit my lip wondering the chances of something bad happening last night.

"Morning Mercy" Livvy sat up in her bed.

"Good morning Livvy, hey do you know why she is in my bed and not hers?" I asked pointing to Sable who had her arms wrapped me. Wait a sec.

"Why are you up?" I asked her.

"The sun opened my eyes." she said with her cute little voice.

"It's 5 am. Hey Livvy come here" I told her.

"Okay... why?" she came over.

"Help me get her off of me, I need to go for my run." I told her. We managed to get Sable's arms off me and around a pillow off her bed.

"Thanks Livvy, Why don't you get some toast on and have that for breakfast? I'll be back in an hour" I told her grabbing my jogging gear and heading towards the bathroom.

I went out and ran to the edge of town and back.

I grabbed a water and a piece of toast that Livvy made for me. My phone buzzed in my pocket.

"hey, the doctor just told me I can go home tonight" Connor texted.

I could imagine the excitement he had. He has been sitting in that hospital bed for 3 months and was unconscious for a further 2.

"Congrats Con-con" I giggled at the nickname I just gave him.

"Thanks and okay then" Connor is the only sibling I had formed a close bond with. But I think Sable and I are starting to get along.

"Whatcha laughing at?" Sable's voice spoke in the silence scaring me half to death.

"Whoa! Geez Sable. It's nothing it's just Connor, he's coming home tonight, he's super excited."

"I'm sure he is" she grabbed a bowl and some eggs and started cooking them in the microwave. Livvy put some toast on just as Mum walked in and looked at the three of us.

"I have three daughters yet it doesn't feel like it since you guys never seem to wear dresses. Why can't you at least wear skirts?" she asked before kissing Livvy.

"With Con coming home could we go out for dinner to celebrate?" I asked thinking of what could be in my closet, my thoughts landed on a blue dress that had little slits in the side and sequence.

"That sounds perfect." Mum squealed in delight breaking my train of thought.

"Yeah, Livvy can you come with me please?" I prepared myself to fight the now 7 year old.

"Actually I might come too" Sable smiled at me as if reading my mind.

"Okay?" Livvy looked between Sable and I repeatedly and we just smiled at her.

Sable's POV

This sounded like fun. Mum was right though, we never wore dresses or even skirts. I wasn't sure if I even owned a nice dress. There was one... I remembered stashing a short, dark red dress in the back of my closet when there was that sale at this one store one time... anyway, I hadn't even worn it yet. I hoped that it would still fit. Most of the time I preferred just to wear jeans and a nice shirt to things like this it was way more comfortable, I'm sure my sisters would agree, but Connor was coming home and it was a pretty special occasion so... We half dragged Livvy into our room when she started to get suspicious of our actions. Mercy locked the door when Livvy sat on her bed.
