Remus POV
"Sorry Ro.." I whisper to the door. I look back over to Reggie and Rosie.
"Can you get her breakfast. I'm gonna go on a run." I ask and Reggie nods and picks up Rosie and walks downstairs.

I changed and grabbed my walk man. Yes Walkman. I'm not up to date with technology. I have a fuckin flip phone that Remy souped up. I put my sneakers on and start to head towards the door.
"Oh hey Remus! Can you pick up Romans pain meds please?" Reggie calls from the kitchen.
"Yeah!" I call back and walk out the door. I get to the sidewalk and put the headphones to my Walkman in. It's starts to play Istanbul by They might not be giants. I start to run down the street.
After a while, I pass the cafe. I'll pick up something for Ro on the way home. I run past the cafe and make it into a very nice neighborhood. It's very clean. There are a ton of kids riding there bikes. Four people have waved at me by now, no one fuckin waves at me for any reason. There are a bunch of different pride flags for different sexuality's.
Suddenly something runs into me and I'm on the cold concrete.
"Omg I'm so sorry! I was running to school because I'm late and I-" The boy i bumped into me starts to ramble while he stands up. I can't see my classes got knocked off. I finally get a good look at him and it's Virgil.
"Hey Emo!" I say and he looks at me panicked.
"Omg Remus I'm so sorry. I didn't notice you and I'm late for school. I'm so sorry I cracked your glasses. I'll buy you a new pair-" Virgil starts to ramble on.
"HHAHAHAHHAHAH your funny Emo." I say to him with tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.
"W-what?" He asks kind of shocked.
"Kid these glasses are 4 years old. They don't do shit except fix my lazy eye and there being held together with scotch tape and flex seal. You need to relax kid." I say with a smile and he helps me up.
"Ok. Well, I'm still sorry, but I really have to go otherwise I'll get a tardy. I'll see you after school!" Virgil says running off down the road. I wave bye and take my head phones off and look at the house.
"Huh nice house. His parents know how to pick." I say to myself.
"Hi Roman honey!!" I hear being yelled. I look up and see a older lady is her mid forties walking up to me.
"Umm I'm Uh not Roman.." I say to her with a nervous smile. She looks at me and I think she's noticing the differences between us.
"Your right. Your not Roman. My apologies." She starts to walk away.
"I'm Romans twin though!" I say and her head spins around with a big smile on her face.
"I knew Roman had a twin. He just gives off a 'I have a twin' vibe. Ya know. Like when he walks through the door you just expect there to be two of them. Anyway darling, what's your name?" She asks me.
"Remus ma'am." I say to her and she smiles.
"Aww the two R's! I love that!" She says with a wide smile on her face.
"Actually my whole family has R's for first names." I say to her and her face lights up.
"There's more of you!!" She says very happy. She's almost bouncing up and down.
"Would you like to come inside and have a cup of coffee and chat? I can tell you very embarrassing stories about Virgil and Dante." She says with Virgils signature smirk.
"Wait how do you know Virgil?" I ask a bit confused.
"Oh sorry dear. I'm Virgils mother!" She says as we walk up the driveway to her house. She opens the door and lets me inside. The inside is small but cozy. There are pictures of Virgil and someone else all over the wall.
"Make yourself at home dear. I'll put on a pot of coffee." She says and I look over to her.
"Sorry ma'am I can't have coffee." I say in a apologetic manner.
"That's all right dear. May I ask why?" She asks me walking out of the kitchen and sitting on the sofa.
"I have a lot of medication I need to take and a lot of them I can't have caffeine with."I say to her and walk over to the couch and sit next to her.
"Can I ask who the other boy is in all the photos on your wall?" I ask shuffling uncomfortably.
"Oh! That's Virgils brother Dante. He's in New York right now touring a college." She explains.
"Tell me about your family Remus." She says to me.
"Well umm theres my mom. Her name is Reyna. She runs a fashion industry across the world and she's not home much. My dads name is Reginald the 3rd. He runs a bank and he's home a lot more than mom but not always. He's an amazing cook and hates it when we ask to make Ramen." I giggle at that last part.
"Then there's Reginald the 4th. We call him Reggie he's 24. He was a firefighter up in Maine until he tore his ACL and couldn't do it anymore. So, he applied for graphic design college down here in the next town over and got in. He's very protective of us but he's a god awful cook. He can't even boil water right. Then there's Roman. You met him. He's 2 minutes younger than me and I love to remind him of that. He's a model for my moms company. I don't know if he likes it. My brother is shy and really doesn't like too much attention. He's very kind and helpful. He likes Disney, like, A LOT and he loves to act in plays and stuff." I explain and she smiles.
"He is very helpful." She says with a smile.
"Then there's my youngest sister. Her name is Roselina. She 4 and we call her Rosie. She loves to play dress up and wear her princess dresses every where she goes. She watches Disney with Roman. She's just a hyper active ball of imagination." I explain the last member to her.
"Wow there are a lot of you. I love that. We wanted to have more kids but Virgil and Dante were enough to handle." She says while taking a sip of her coffee.
"Really? I haven't met Dante yet, but Virgil seems very chill and quiet." I say and she looks at me with a smile.
"When they were younger, Virgil refused to talk to anyone but Dante, so he used sign language. Dante has a phobia of blood and he'll either pass out or go into a state where he stops moving, goes pale, and he just silently cry's. He has never told us why though, but one time when they were young. We got Virgil a new skateboard for his birthday and he fell and smacked his chin on the road and it gushed blood. Dante threw up and passed out. We took them to the hospital and Virgil had to get 3 stitches." She chuckles to herself at the last part.
"Roman did that but with heelies. He loves heelies. He has like 6 pairs and when we were younger we had a wood floor basement that changed to cement floor. The wheel didn't like change of flooring so it just stopped and Roman fell on his face. That was a fun trip to the hospital." I say with a laugh.
"Well it was nice meeting you ma'am, but I have to go. I need to pick up Ro's medicine. Do you know where the pharmacy center is?" I ask while standing up. She smiles and stands up as well.
"It was nice meeting you too dear! If you take a left at the end of this block, it's right there. You cannot miss it." She says with a smile and gives me a hug.
"Thank you ma'am. Have a good day!" I say smiling while walking out the door and down the block.
She was right you can't miss it. It's a big red building with a huge sign that I almost walked into.
I go inside and up to the desk.
"Hello, how may I help you?" The man at the counter asks with a smile.
"Hi. I'm here to pick up some pain meds for Roman Kingsley and a lot of other meds for Remus Kingsley."
"Did the patient fill out the prescription form?" He asks while clicking on his computer.
"Yes I believe so." I say and he turns the electronic pad to me.
"Just fill out the rest of that and I can help you with the other prescription you said." He says going back to typing on his computer. I finish up the questions on the pad and hit enter.
"Alright. I finished the first one."
Time skip because Remus had to confirm all his meds
"Hey I'm home!!" I yell as I walk through the door.
"Hiii!!" Rosie yells running up to me and clinging to my leg.
"Hey." Roman says laying on the couch looking dead.
"Hey Ree I'm in the kitchen." Reggie yells.
I walk over to the kitchen and place the bag on the table. I take out Ro's bottle of pills, a bottle of sprite, and a donut I picked up at the cafe. I take 2 pills out of the bottle and pour a glass of sprite. I bring it over to Roman and help him sit up.
"Here and this is sprite and I got you a donut. Eat it." I say handing him the glass. He nods and takes them both and downs them in .2 seconds. I put the glass on the table and hand him the donut.
I walk back over to the kitchen and sit on the counter where Reggie was trying to cook chicken nuggets and failing miserably.
"Dude seriously?" I say as he takes the black, burnt, and on fire chicken nuggets out of the toaster.
"I can't cook, okay?!" He says frustrated as he throws the chicken nuggets in the trash.
"What took you so long though? It's almost noon and you left at 10." Reggie asks while giving up and sitting on the counter next to me.
"I stopped and talked to Virgils mom. She's so sweet. Did you know Virgil had a brother? I'm excited to meet him." I say while getting off the counter and going to the freezer.
"Which mom did you meet?" Roman asks from the couch.
"There's more than one! That's awesome! I met the one with the short greyish blonde hair." I say while taking out the chicken nuggets and putting some in the toaster.
"That's Mrs. V. Mrs. M must be with Dante up in New York." Roman says sitting up and wincing.
*RING RING* Romans phone starts to buzz on the kitchen table.
"Ree can you hand me my phone?" Roman asks looking at his phone.
I pick it up and look at the name. It's Virgil. I pick up the phone despite what Roman asks. Roman looks pissed and scared.
"Heya Emo!" I say happily and I see the relief flush to Romans face.
"Hey Remus, why do you have Romans phone?" He asks confused.
"Cause I do, now what you need darling?~" I ask flirtatiously just to piss off Roman and it worked.
"Heh umm well I have work so I won't be by til later so my friend Logan's gonna drop off the ice cream and his homework. I'll be there after." Virgil explains.
"Alright Emo. See ya soon!"
"Yeah yeah bye." He says and hangs up the phone.
"He says he has work so his friend Logan? I think. He will drop off your shit. He said he'll be here later." I say to a very pissed off Roman on the couch.
"K thank you." Roman says through his teeth.
"What? You mad cause I'm flirting with your boyfriend?" I tease him while walking back over to the bag from the pharmacy.
"He's not my boyfriend!!" Roman yells at me frustrated. I open the bag and take out 6 bottles of pills and a pill organizer. Ya know the ones that say Mon Tues Weds on it. Like 1000 year olds have.
"Then why ya mad? Cause you like him?~" I tease and start to take and organize my pills.
"I don't like him. I would just appreciate if you didn't flirt with my friends." Roman sighs while leaning his head back on the couch.
"Sorry your friends are cute. Oh and Remy is coming over tomorrow to hang out. I hope that's okay?" I say while taking my last pill.
"Who?" Roman asks confused.
"Remy Mourning. He was my roommate back at storybrook." I say while walking over to Roman and sitting next to him on the couch.
"Oh yeah I don't care." Roman says tiredly while leaning his head on my shoulder. He looks exhausted.
"Ro how much sleep did you get last night?" I ask worried.
"About 2 hours.." he says tiredly and starting to drift.
Suddenly my stomach feels like a tornado. I get up and run to the bathroom and throw up in the toilet.

Logan POV
Why does Roman need so much ice cream? I've never even seen him eat lunch. I walk down the road and see a huge house with a big garage. I stand there for a minute baffled.
Finally, I walk up to the door and knock on the door. I wait for a minute. I hear yelling and.. a smoke alarm? After a minute finally someone opens the door.
It's Roman. He looks pale and his nose is running.
"You should really not be standing up. You just had surgery. You should really go sit down." I say to him while holding the door open.
"Hello specs. Come on in." He says while holding the door open and standing up straighter. Did he get taller? I walk in the house and see black smoke coming out of the kitchen with Reggie trying put out a small fire on the stove. There are moving boxes everywhere. There is another person sitting on the couch with a space helmet on half asleep while watching duck tales. I can't quite see his face but he has an oversized red and yellow sweatshirt on and basketball shorts on.
"MR. WIZARD!!!" I hear from above. I look up that stairs and see Rosie wearing a white dress with a matching helmet as the person on the couch.
She runs down the stairs and gives me a big hug.
"Hi Mr. Wizard!" She says with a big smile.
"Hello Princess Rosie. I like your outfit." I say with a smile. I wish I had siblings. I would have loved a younger sister or brother.
"It's astronaut Rosie today!" She says skipping over to the couch and sitting on the persons lap and turning up the TV. The person on the couch wakes up and pulls off his astronaut helmet.

"Roman?"
