What We Keep Hidden (Jai Brooks- Ariana Grande)

Oh where have the good times gone.

"Alright you guys, its time for bed." Joan announced as she walked into the bedroom that her children and the Brooks children were sharing over the summer. Her husband, Gina, and Ben walked in after her only for the four adults to find the boys sitting on the floor playing cards. The only girl of the five was sitting on her bed above them as she held her teddybear and watched them play, occasionally bending down and whispering something into one of their ears.

Joan sat by her daughter and stroked her hair back. "Why aren't you playing, sweetie?"

Ariana looked up and smiled at her beautiful mother. "I already played. Its boring."

Edward stood above his stepson and glanced down at his and the oldest Brooks boy's cards before kneeling down and whispering something into Frankie's ear.

Ariana noticed this and her eyes widened, her hand whipping out and her finger pointing accusingly at her father. "You're cheating!"

Edward looked up, startled at the small voice that boomed in the room. He chuckled and was about to respond before the nine year old in front of him cut him off.

"So?! You're helping Jai cheat!" Frankie exclaimed, sticking his tongue out at his baby sister who only huffed and crossed her arms.

"Alright, alright," Gina intervened before anything could get out of hand and she smiled at the boys on the floor. "Everyone get into bed, its already eleven."

The four children sighed and started cleaning up their cards, handing them to the owner as they each got up and made their way to their respective beds. There were only three beds in the room, and seeing as there were four boys and one girl, Ariana, much to her delight, got her own bed. Luke and Jai shared a bed, and Beau and Frankie shared a bed. Not that they minded of course, since the two oldest boys were best friends and practically like brothers.

Beau tidied up the cards and put them away before he got into his side of the bed. Their parents took their time tucking in each child and giving them each a kiss.

"Can you guys sing to us?" Ariana asked from her bed, hugging her little bear again.

"Of course princess." Edward leaned over and gave her another kiss on the forehead before he joined Ben in the middle of the room.

"This one goes out to five kids who are about to go to sleep." Ben announced in his best 'game show' voice, using his hand as a microphone which caused the kids to giggle happily. The men smiled and cleared their throats as their wives each took a seat by their children. Joan sat on Ariana's bed and she snuggled into her mother as she watched her father and what she considered her second father begin the song.

Gina took a seat in between her twin boys and both the boys smiled at her and each snuggled into a side.

Edward smiled at his daughter and he and Ben started snapping their fingers before he began to sing.

Baby let me be your lovin' teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh, let me be
(Oh, let him be)
Your teddy bear

Ben moved closer to the two older boys and leaned down, singing huskily to them as they laughed merrily.

I don't wanna be a tiger
'Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
'Cause lions ain't the kind you love enough

Ed chuckled and started clapping to the beat and sang his part as the five kids watched in sleepy excitement.

Just wanna be, your teddy bear put your chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh, let me be
(Oh, let him be)
Your teddy bear
