"It tickles, aunt Claire." Adri laughed as I pinned the fabric down around her waist.

"I told you it tickles, Luna!" Mal laughed in agreeance as she scrolled through Netflix comedies.

"It's not my fault, you two have literally no tolerance." I playfully sighed as I securely placed another pin around her calf.

"Ya know, dresses are especially in Cleo VanDrouths line- maybe you should make that call now; while you're in the mood?" Mal slickly suggested. She and Reid have been subtly easing me to call Cleo ever since I told them. I want to. I really do. I just.. cant?

"I will, I promise."

"Promises are made to be broken- daddy told me that." Adri said while lifting her arms for me.

"Adri!"

"Are you hungry, Adri? I'm hungry." Mal chimed in from my bed.

"I'm hungry too, Mal." Adri agreed, flashing her cutest puppy dog eyes.

"..Fine, but you're coming with me." I said, pointing at Mal.

Mal and I walked downstairs, my favorite tray in hand, ready to stack snacks onto it. Walking through the living room and halfway into the kitchen, Camilla came into our vision and Mal stopped in her tracks.

"Oh, I forgot to you introduce you guys, Mal this is-"

"Cami?"

"Malorie?"

"You guys know each other?" I asked pointing to both of them.

"She's my hot date." Mal sheepishly admitted.

"She's the rad girl." Camilla said with complete confidence.

"What the hell! Why didn't either of you tell me?"

"I didn't think you knew her." Mal awkwardly shrugged.

"We were moving at our own pace." Camilla added on their behalf.

Ding-Dong

"This isn't over." I said while walking towards the door.

I opened the door and three people stood in front of me, a young guy, who looked almost exactly like Reid; just visibly younger, a pretty brunette, who looked way too fancy on a Tuesday, and a small infant, peacefully sleeping in the car seat in the hands of the young guy.

"Who are you?" The young guy asked with a baffled look on his face.

"Uh, Claire, who are you-"

"Oh, I know who you are." The young guy laughed as he entered the mansion, walking right past me.

The brunette tilted her sunglasses down, looked me up and down, then did the same.

I turned around and looked at the two strangers making themselves at home.

"Who are they?" I asked Camilla as she took the pink car seat from the man.

"Oh shit, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Reese, Reid's brother." He chuckled while holding his hand out to me.

I smiled and shook his hand in response.

"You sure are." I laughed while looking at all of the features he and Reid share.

"And this is his pretty, little daughter, Renee." Camilla cooed while swaying with the adorable infant in her arms.

"Oh my God! Can I hold her?" I gushed while the baby yawned and began to stir.
