Adoption Day

Goodnight in Pennsylvania

John's Pov-

        "Okay, you two. Time for bed." The twins looked up at me. "Aww! But we're not tired." I snorted. "No buts. You need your sleep. When we get back to New York you can stay awake longer. But not here." I turned to my dad. "Is my room still the same as I left?" He nodded. "Of course. I would never touch it unless you wanted me too." I nodded. "Thanks." I gave each girl a nudge to the stairs. "C'mon." I followed them up the stairs. We walked down hallway. Thank god dad had finally gotten rid of all the clow... I mean harlequin posters. It would have been pretty frightening at night for the two girls. I walked into my room. I flipped on the light switch. Dad wasn't kidding when he said that he hadn't touch my room. All my clothes were still folded neatly into piles at the end of my bed. My bed was unmade and the bed sheets still had the gray ghost outlines on them. The walls had pastel blue paint on them and they were still covered with my amazing movie posters. My old computer still sat in the corner of the room near the closet. My calender was flipped to April, the date of my birth circled. It was just hanging there with that one black thumb tack that I had found many years ago. I walked over to the computer and moved the mouse. It was still on. Had dad not noticed the electricity bill! It was probably high. My pestercum client was still open. It was on the last conversation I had on this computer.

                EB: Bye!!!!!!!!

                -arachnidsGrip [AG] ceased pestering ectoBiologist [EB]-

        I snorted as I closed the client and shut down the computer. Vriska always liked to pester me at random. I turned back to the girls. They had already climbed into the bed. I smiled. I walked over to the bed. I pulled the blanket over them. I kissed them both on their foreheads. I flipped the light switch off. I started walking toward the door but their voices stopped me. "Can you stay with us?" They said in unison. "Hm?" I turned to them. I was going to say that they were to old for someone to stay in the room with them but I remembered the nightmare they had the first night they stayed at the house. I nodded. I walked over to my computer chair and sat down in it. "I love you John." I heard one of them say. "I love you too."
