"Do we really have to go to this"

"Yes Lex we have to go, and unlike you I would be happy to see your mom and DJ's dad. Unlike you two, I don't have parents." The taller boy  looked at the other kids sitting with him, then just focused on the younger girl.

"Lex, you should call her mom, heck even I call her mom, and she isn't my mom." Brady gave Lex the sad brown eye look he's been giving her since she was born when he was 4.

After the flight attendant left Brady spoke again. " We are staying on this plane, we are going to go to the meeting, and see Dorothea, and DJs father and we are going to see what important news they had for us. got it? good now shut up and go to sleep Lex."
