The True Rapture Family:

New york, 7:00am:

New york, The Big Apple. Mostly known as the big city where dreams become a reality.

That only partially true, its all a matter of money, social status and skill... and a little luck doesn't hurt either.

In the downtown streets of New York there resided several cute little houses in a row, each of them looked the same as the last, the only thing set them apart from the rest were the colors of the paint and the flowers decorating the lawns and porches.

The middle house on the left was peculiar, not because of how it looked, but because of the people who lived inside. The Andrew family. Everybody in town knew about the Andrew's, where they came from, nobody knew, but nobody complained. They were the perfect picture of neighbors. Never once did anybody have anything bad to say about them, they had a good house, made good salary, and were a perfect couple, but what they didn't knew was that their past was not so perfect. It was just pure luck they managed to escape from a dreaded past... a past called Rapture.

In one of the rooms was the master bed room where wedded couple Ryan and Eleanor slept. Ryan was the first to wake up, looking outside he saw that it was pretty early in the morning, the date was 1975, August 24, it was a fairly good year so far. Everyday he had to remind himself, Rapture has never stopped haunting him, not once.

"Ryan, go back to sleep its too early." Eleanor mumbled half asleep, looking at her Ryan smiled. She looked a lot better than she did a few years ago. She was still skinny though. To Ryan it seemed only yesterday when they had escaped Rapture.

When he had just saved Eleanor's father a fishing boat came up, it turned out the person driving it was a person called Jack Ryan. Ironically he was Andrew Ryan's son, and his killer too. It was kinda funny when Daniel told Jack that he did them a favor in killing Andrew, even if Eleanor thought it was plain cruel.

Once arriving to New york they stayed in Jack's home until they could get settled in. Daniel got a job as a laboratory assistant. Sophia, who had a huge change of heart, took a job as a nurse in the local hospital. And with a lot of effort and hard work, even Ryan and Eleanor got decent jobs. Ryan became an architect designer and builder, the best in New york, he had even taken jobs designing buildings across the globe. Eleanor, ironically enough, got a job as a psychiatrist, the best in New york.

After around two years Ryan proposed to Eleanor. It wasn't easy, Delta was never satisfied, he claimed his daughter could do better than him.

Even when they got married Delta never warmed up to Ryan, he still threatened that if Ryan did anything to hurt his little girl he was going to make him wish he stayed down in Rapture.

Daniel on the other hand was happy, so was Sophia and all the others, including the Little sisters. Two years later Eleanor and Ryan started a family of their own, literally.

Ryan's thoughts were interrupted when two little kids entered the room and jumped on the bed with them. "We caught you, we caught you!" they sang, Ryan and Eleanor, despite being rather startled, couldn't help but smile at their kids.

Their names were Jacob Andrew and Sophie Andrew, fraternal twins. Jacob was named in honor of their dear friend Jack Ryan, since he had the same initials. He looked like his mother, his brunette hair was so dark that he looked like he had black hair instead of brown, skinny and fair, his eyes of course he got from the father. The right eye was blue, the left eye is gray. Jacob was always getting into some kind of mischief, even if most of the time it wasn't his fault.

The other twin, Sophie, was named after her grandmother Sophia. She wasn't so bad now that she wasn't not trying to kill them. Their guessed all that stress and being in Rapture made her act like that. Sophie was more like Ryan and her grandmother, blond with blue eyes, she was a talented well behaved proper young lady.

Like day and night, Sophie and Jacob were different.

"What are you two imps doing up at this hour?" asked Ryan playfully, "You promised to take us to grandpa and grandma's house." Sophie reminded, "yeah, you promise!" Jacob added.

"Alright alright, you two get dressed. We'll be down in a few minutes." Eleanor said, the twins cheered before running downstairs, "Talk about the terrible two's, is there such a thing as terrible five's?" Ryan asked as he got up from bed.

"I'm not sure, but I really have to get to work, got lots of appointments today." Eleanor explained, "Me too, I have a huge meeting from the borders direct meeting, we're going to look through my building sketches and see if they like them." He said as he entered the bathroom to get changed.

"They will, they always do" Eleanor smiled, "Thanks that's encouraging."

Later:

After a short walk next door Jacob and Sophie found themselves in their grandparents house, more like the family house considering how many people lived in it. There we're the remaining little sisters, of which only four remained since most got old enough to leave the house and got jobs and eventually got married.

There was also Delta, whom they called grandpa. Jack Ryan, Sophia, who they called grandma, Aunty Gracey, Uncle Mark, Grandpa Daniel, and lastly, the butler Stanley Poole.

"Father i'm here!" shouted Eleanor, "Be there in a sec, you dropping off the kids?" She heard Delta shout, "Yeah, me and Ryan have work and they wanted to come over!" She yelled back before bending down and hugging the twins. "Remember, behave and no causing trouble." She told them, more talking to Jacob. "Okay." Jacob and Sophie answered. With that Eleanor left for her office, which was in the middle of the big apple. They had been there a few times and had gotten a good view of the statue of liberty.

Dropping their backpacks they went to check the living room out, usually they always found somebody there. Either Delta, Jack, or even sometimes all of them together in the same room.

Peeking around the corner they saw grandma Sophia. who was busy doing needle point, uncle Jack and grandpa Daniel were watching TV but where was Grandpa Delta?

"Psssst, hey." A voice whispered from behind them, turning around they saw the cause of the noise. Delta was in 'ninja mode' and creeping about. "Hey, Aunty Gracey made some cookie dough. Hows about we snack on some of them before I take you to school?"

The twins nodded, even if they wanted to yell "yes!", other than singing good Gracey made the best cookies in New york. Sneaking into the kitchen they began to look for the cookie dough bowl.

"I swear that woman has a sixth sense when it come to hiding her cookie dough..." Delta muttered as he rummaged through the kitchen. Delta has grown a bit old, he had a little bit of white hairs showing on his brown hair, his blue eyes were always shinning with happiness... until they saw Jacob and Sophie's father that is, then he was perpetually angry. He wore a blue sleeveless sweater over a white shirt and cream pants.

"Here it is. So this is where she hid it the last time..." Delta grinned in triumph as he took out a bowl filled with cookie dough from the top shelf of the counter. Getting spoons they began to savior the victory until.

"WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING TIN DADDY!" snapped a voice, looking up they saw an angry Gracey in the doorway. She hadn't changed much, the only thing that had changed about her was her outfit which consisted of a dress with a macrame vest and a matching hat.

"Uh oh." Jacob and Sophie whispered at the same time.

"You know that your gonna get sick if you keep eating all that cookie dough." scolded Gracey.

"Come on Gracey I've been eating it for years now and I have never gotten sick" Delta defended his precious.

"Oh yeah? Hows about that time at Eleanor's wedding you ate all the cookie dough and you got sick, so sick you weren't able to do the daughter father waltz." Gracey pointed out.

"It was because you doubled the recipe, or you put something nasty in it to make me sick." Delta snapped angrily, how dare she poison the precious!

"Please, if I wanted to make you get sick I at least wouldn't have offered it to the rest of the guests." Gracey deadpanned.

"whatever." Delta scoffed.

"You should set a better example for them kids."

Looking at each other Sophie and Jacob knew it was going to take a while for both Gracey and Delta to stop fighting, they didn't have time, they needed to get to school.

"Aunty Gracey? Grandpa? Look at the drawing I made." said Jacob as he took a piece of paper from his pocket. Opening it he showed it to them.

Stopping their argument Delta and Gracey looked. "Who's that?" asked Delta curiously. "Its you as a Big Daddy" Jacob said, proud of himself.

"Why don't you make him more realistic and draw him sleeping, oh and a little bit rounder too." Gracey smirked, she took a pen she had nearby and drew a fat Delta on a piece of paper lying around.

"Oh ha ha, I am not a bouncer"snapped Delta, another argument began.

Sophie and Jacob sighed. Operation: Distract 'em With Adorableness failed. If they made it in time for school it was going to be a miracle.

New york, 3:00pm:

Jacob was sitting down on a chair outside of the teachers class room. Her name is Misses Henry. Today was pretty much a horrible day for him, for the oral report Jacob decided to do it on Rapture, he told them everything.

In the end his class mates threw their glue bottle in place of tomatoes, calling him crazy. Its not the first time that has happened either.

"Jacob!" he heard a voice call his name, looking over to the hallway he saw his mother Eleanor, she wore a gray plaid dress and carried a brief case with her.

"Mom!" Jacob shouted as he ran and hugged his mother.

"Are you okay?" Eleanor asked as she made sure her child wasn't harmed. "Yes but-" "Misses Andrew. I would like to speak to you." He heard behind him, it was his teachers voice.

Eleanor let go of him as she entered the class room. Closing the door Misses Henry sat down on her desk, looking through a few of the files on her desk before she spoke, "I am concerned about your son."

"Look, I'm sure we can figure out why he has bullies." Eleanor reasoned, mistaking why she was called.

"No, its not about the bullies." Misses Henry corrected. she took a few drawings out of her desk and showed them to Elanor. All of them were of Big daddies, little sisters, New york underwater. But Eleanor knew better, it was Rapture that he was drawing.

"This is what I am worried about, Jacob is not socializing, he always sits in the corner, drawing. He tells these crazy stories about this place." Misses Henry paused before adding, "I'm no psychiatrist like you, but I think Jacob has an unhealthy obsession about this world which, as far as I know, doesn't exist. If you don't take care of it now it could seriously affect him, his social life, and maybe even his future." Eleanor listened, nodded and answered "Okay, I'll talk to him."

"Please do." Misses Henry said. Getting up and walking out of the class room Eleanor looked at Jacob, motioning to follow her. Jacob knew better, she was disappointed in him.
