"Skylar, come on the Ramos's will be here any minute!" My brother Blake calls me ok down the hall. I clap my hands together twice, so Blake knows I heard him.

Blake and I are identical twins. But our eyes set us apart. Blake has green eyes, while I have hazel eyes.

"Skylar,they are here. Are you ready?" Blake asks walking into my room. I nod, checking my hair to make sure it's perfect. "Really Sky? They won't care what your hair looks like." I shrug and turn to walk out of my room, when Blake stops me.

"Hey, you don't have to talk, I mean I know you haven't talked since we were six, but I'll do the talking if you want me to." I smile and nod, Blake smiles and we head downstairs.

I haven't talked since I was six, it's been ten years. There have been so many times where I wish I could talk, but the I remember I will never be able to again.

As Blake and I reach the bottom of the stairs, our foster parents kids run up to Blake and I crying. Jenny runs up to me and places her small arms around my waist. "Sky, I'm so happy for you and Blake, you two are finally adopted. But I don't want you to go, I'm going to miss you two both so much, especially youSky." Jenny says with tears running down her small face.

I lower myself to her height, and wipe the tears from her face. I reach into my back pocket and pull a picture of her and I on her fourth birthday.

"But don't you want to keep it?" I pull out another picture that is the same. I pull out my phone and type. "I will miss you so much Jenny. I hope that your parents and my new ones let us keep in touch. There is and always will be a very special place for you in my heart just for you." Jenny cries even more. I hand her a letter, that wrote for her. One the opening I wrote,( Don't open until I leave. Love Sky." I look over to see Blake, he is telling Adam they will always keep in touch. Then our foster parents Melody and Drake come and hug us.

"Boys, Melody and I are really going to miss you both so much. You have treated our kids like your own brothers and sisters, and we thank you so much for that." Drake says with tears in his eyes. "I really am so grateful to have you two boys in my life." Melody says with tears running down her face. "Don't cry Melody, or I'll start crying. I type into my phone. "Oh Skylar, you are the sensitive one. I am really going to miss you,always cheering me up." I give Melody and huge hug and a pat on the back.

Then suddenly there's a knock on the front door. I know it's the Ramos's. Drake opens the door for them. "Hello everyone." Paula and Matthew Ramos say in sync. "Hi, come in." Drake says moving out of the way for them to come in. "We were just saying goodbye to the boys." Paula and Matthew shake a Blake and my hand, a little strange since they adopted us.

Melody and Drake talk to the Ramos' about how I haven't talked in ten years and if it would be okay if Blake and I could keep in contact with them. They nod yes, after an hour of talking it's time to leave. Blake and I grab our suitcases and walk across the street to the Ramos's car. I put my stuff in and wave bye to our foster family, the only family I have come to love.

"So Blake, do you have a nickname you go by or no?" Matthew asks. "No. I don't , but when Sky and I were little and he couldn't pronounce my name he called me Bay. So you can call me Bay if you want." "That's actually a really cute way on how you got your nickname." Paula says, looking at me. "and what about you Skylar, do you go by Sky?" "He does but he only lets me call him that." "Oh, well if you ever change your mind may we call you by your nickname?" I nod.

After twenty minutes of driving we arrive at a middle school. "Boys did your foster parents mention to you two that Matthew and I have three sons, triplets." "They said you have kids but not how many." Blake says. "They are in eighth grade, there names are Christian, Alex, and Ryan. They are very excited to meet you two." "Sky and I are excited and actually nerves to meet them." "Oh don't be. Hey, let's all go wait for them by the gate."

As we all walk up to the gate there are a lot of people surrounding us. I clutch to a Blake like he's my life line. "What's wrong Skylar?" Paula asks, Matthew stops and asks the same thing. Blake answers for me.

"Sky is extremely cloister-phobic, so he's a little uncomfortable." "Will you be okay Skylar, or would you like Paula or me to walk you back to the car?" Matthew asks really concerned for me. I am really uncomfortable and starting to freak out a little bit, but I really want to see Christian, Alex, and Ryan. I let go of Blake a little and type quickly in my phone. "I'll be okay." I show,it to Blake and he tells them.

Five minutes pass and finally the bell rings. Blake and I look for Alex, Christian, and Ryan. But then I realize we have never seen a picture of them. I type into my phone."Do Alex, Ryan, and Christian, look similar or no?" I show Paula. "They are identical just like you and Blake, here's a picture," Paula shows Blake and I a picture.

"Sky, there they are." Blake says. I see three boys talking to their friends, then one of them looks in our direction and smiles. He gets the other two attention and they smile and run to us, almost tripping over themselves.

"Hi." They all say in sync, with the worlds biggest smiles on their faces. "Hey." Blake says waving at them. "So are you two our new brothers?" One of the triplets asks happily. "Yes, we are. I'm Blake and this is Skylar." I wave and smile. "We are identical twins like you guys, but you can tell the difference between us because of our eyes. I have green while Sky has hazel." "I'm Christian but you can call me Chris, you can tell me apart because I have a freckle under my right eye." "I'm Ryan, I have two freckles on my nose." "Well that leaves me Alex, I don't have any freckles and I have one green and brown eye."

Blake and I look at Alex closely and notice his different coloured eyes. "Wow." Blakes says, while I mouth it. "Hey boys lets go home and talk, it's Friday and I'm sure you boys are all tired." Paula says motioning for us to follow her and Matthew. "Mom can't we go to Pizza Palace for dinner?" Ryan asks. "What do you think Matt?" "Yea, why not, it's Friday, let's go."
