When Vivi read the name in the phone, I was so embarrassed and confused.

"Sexy Fire Beast?" He asked in shock, looking up at me.

"What?" I breathed out.

Vivi looked up at Remi and I turned to him.

"Remi! You idiot! You changed it!" I screeched, seeing the grin on his face.

I ran at him and tackled him to the ground. Both of us feel to the ground with a thud and I started whacking him with the newspaper again. I didn't want to hurt him though, so I didn't hit him too hard.

"I hate you!" I yelled.

"I love you." He said to me, making me freeze and hug him.

"I love you too, Remi." I said, letting him stand up and carry me to the couch.

"It just said Vivi and had a heart next to it." Remi said truthfully this time. I rested my head against Remi's chest as he sat next to me and I nodded my head at Vivi.

"You ok?" Vivi asked me.

"Mhm.... I just love you guys." I said, looking at Vivi and seeing the strained look on his face. "Not in the same way..." I added.

"I'm the brother, he's the lover." Remi said, tucking my hair behind my head.

"Stop it." I sighed, not wanting to start that whole thing again, but what Remi said was accurate.

Vivi may not be my lover yet. But maybe one day. Lover didn't sound quite right though. I loved him, but I just wanted him to be my boyfriend, in a very innocent way until I could muster up the courage to engage in those intimate activities that couples do together.

"You sure you're ok, Cupcake? If I took it too far, tell me." Remi said.

"No, you didn't." I said to him, looking up into his kind blue eyes.

"More cupcakes?" Remi offered.

I giggled and nodded, cooling down from all the embarrassment and putting my phone down on the table in front of us.

We watched a movie together, and then we talked, played a card game. The boys fought together, they also tried to tease and embarrass me again, but I was getting better at preventing them from doing that and twisting it back on them. This was probably the most fun I'd had in my life.

Is this what having siblings feels like?

I really love having Remi around, he's so sweet and fun.

Maybe I could be part of a water war someday. They seemed to have a lot of those based on all the pictures. There were water war victory pictures ranging from when these boys were babies to their adulthood.

I guess you're never too old to have fun and let loose.

I can't wait to meet Arabella and Theo and Evan.... even Micah if he's alright with it. I would love to hang out with all of them at once. Especially having Ari around. I think she might understand me better since we're both girls among all these men.

Is this really what I've missed out on? It's a shame to think not everyone can experience this.

Even when they tease me, part of me is happy to be teased. Maybe that's weird. But... when you never have any friends or siblings, even the annoying parts of having siblings seems like a good thing.

To think fighting with siblings could be one of the most enjoyable things in the world... life is really good.

I'm not in a facility anymore.

No one will hurt me anymore.

I'm not alone.

I have family.

I can finally relax and be free.

I want to meet everyone though. Now.

I want then all to come here, I want to turn on music, be reckless, be too loud, laugh too much, eat too much. I just wanted my family. All of my family.

"Vivi. I want to meet them all... like now." I said.

"Won't it be intimidating?" He asked me.

"Yes." I nodded.

"Then why do you want to put yourself through that?" He asked me.

"Life is precious.... I d-don't want to waste it." I said.

"But we have all the time in the world, sweetheart." He said to me.

"You're right.... I.... I'll let this go... but you have to make me a promise.... both of you." I said to Remi and Vidal.

"What?" They both said to each other, smacking each other in the back again because I had interrupted an argument that they weren't quite done with yet.

"I want to come together... all of us.... especially like... us.... Me, you two, Arabella, her husband, Theo, Evan... oh! I forgot your uncle... him too... and the others too, but us most importantly and we have to just have fun, ok?" I asked.

"I'm planning a party!" Remi said.

"No! No, you aren't." Vivi growled at him, grabbing his collar and pulling him closer, whispering something threateningly in his ear.

"Ok, fine. No party!" Remi said, smacking his brother in the back again.

"What is it with you two? Can't you just get along." I said, rolling my eyes.

"Oh, now you're going to get it...." Remi said, getting up, and looking like he was about to tickle me.

"No! Wait! Promise first!" I said, looking at both of them and trying to buy myself some time before they started their tickle attack.

"Promise." They both said and they both dashed towards me as I ran to take refuge in the bedroom.

But Vivi caught me and Remi laughed. Vivi started tickling and then I escaped only for Remi to catch me seconds later.

"No! Stop! I take it back! Stop!" I screamed, laughing my head off until fat tears came flowing down my face.

Eventually I got them both to stop. Vivi saw the tears and he scooped me up, sitting down on the couch with me in his lap and Remi sat down on the coffee table with a laugh.

"Why are there tears on my baby sister's face?" Remi asked me.

"Because I'm so happy, Remi!" I smiled, wiping away my tears and hugging him, then retreating into Vivi's lap.

"Happy? About what?" Vivi asked me.

"I don't know. Life is good." I smiled.

"Aw, baby, of course it is. Life can be really hard sometimes, but in the end, if you find the people that make you happy and you try to be a good person. You can have a really good life. Once you realize what really matters in life, things get better." Vivi smiled, kissing me on the forehead.

"Remi. Will you stay tonight? We can have a sleepover." I said.

"I'm not the one who lives here, Cupcake." He laughed.

"Vivi?" I asked.

"You're always welcome here, Bro. You know that." Vidal said to his brother.

"Thanks, Bro. I'll stay the night, Cupcake." He said, kissing my forehead and walking away with a smile.

He went towards our bedroom and looked back with a mischievous grin.

"I'm stealing some clothing." He said to Vidal, but he looked like he had more planned.

He went in and then I heard him whistle from in there.

"Great... what now?" Vidal sighed.

"I see you two like to treat each other to some massages." Remi yelled from behind the bedroom door.

"Why are you opening drawers?!" Vivi yelled out to him in annoyance.

Another whistle echoed through the apartment and Vidal rushed into the room in annoyance.

"What the hell are you doing?" I heard Vidal's deep voice say.

"Get away!" Remi laughed, and I heard a loud thud and then I heard heavy footsteps rushing towards me.

Remi came bursting through the bedroom door and hot on heel was Vivi with hanger in his hand.

"Give it to me!" Vivi yelled.

"I think not." Remi laughed, backing away from him.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Rem! Don't!" Vivi said sternly.

"Give it to me." I said, watching Vivi's facial expression carefully as Remi handed me the little box.

"What is it?" I asked Vivi.

"Something private." He said to me.

"Private? I can't see it?" I asked him.

Vivi shook his head, holding out his hand for the small wooden box.

I looked in his eyes, examining them. He really was serious about this. He was dead terrified that I'd see the contents of this box. He really didn't want me to see it.

What's in this box?

Why can't I see what's inside?

Why is he so scared that I'll open the box?

Is there something in it that would upset me?

Is there something I'm missing?

What's in the box?!

I can't just open it. He'll tell me when he's ready, right?

"Fine, I'll give it back. But will I know what's in it one day?" I asked Vivi.

"Yes." Vivi said confidently, holding his hand out for the box.

I handed the box over and he left with the box, coming back with it a few minutes later.

He had a small air pump in his hands, with a folded up plastic thing.

He set it up with Remi and both of them started pumping something up. They argued about who could do it better for a little while and then it was finally blown up and I realized it was an air mattress.

"I call the air mattress!" Remi said immediately, running to the bedroom and grabbing a comforter from our closet. He returned and cuddled into it on the air mattress.

"Fine, Kiwi and I can cuddle on the comfortable couch." Vivi said.

That's how we slept that night. I slept on top of Vivi's chest, he was on his back on the couch and Remi was on the air mattress where the coffee table once was. It was my first sleepover ever, if you don't count moving in with Vivi as a lifelong sleepover. But I was glad Remi was the first one to stay over like that. My brother.
