A/N: So this is my newest story. I decided to go with shorter chapters so I can get them out there more!


It was a hard thing losing a parent, let alone two parents. It was even harder when it happened at such a young age. Each of their stories was different, but in their own ways they were able to become a family. The length of time the three of them lived with the Schuester's had varied among them. Rachel had been there the longest, having been placed with the family when she was six years old after her father's untimely death. The option to adopt had been put on the table, but Rachel did not wish to be adopted. They respected her wishes, and although at one point there was talk about removing her from the home to another foster family, she begged and pleaded to stay with the Schuester's in a very adult manner. Well, very adult for a ten year old at the time.

Kurt followed two years after Rachel's arrival, he had been placed with another family for a while, but it sadly did not work out. His mother had died a few years previous, and a car accident had left his father fully paralyzed for the rest of his life. With no other living relatives able to care for him, he was put into the system. Eventually with the Schuester's he found a place he could call home. Tina had been the newest addition, joining the family when she turned fourteen years old. In between, there had been a few children had come in and out of the Schuester family, but these three were the ones that made sure to make an impact.

Will and Terri worked their hardest to make it feel like a real family. Having three foster children who were the same ages had both positive and negative aspects to it. While they had become the best of friends, they also could fight like cat and dogs. At the end of the day though, well, they loved one another.

When the news came of Will's new job offer a few towns away, the fear the three would be removed and placed into another family was strong. However, there was nothing to worry about, they would not be leaving the state, and just had to get the new home inspected and everything would be all right. Yes, they would have to change schools, and while for Tina had been used to this, Rachel and Kurt had become so accustom to their surroundings.

"I just don't understand why I can't have my own room!" Rachel whined as she followed Will out to the moving van. "I had my own room here!"

Letting out a sigh, he placed the box in the back of the van and turned to look at Rachel, "Honey, Terri and I have already explained this to you. Upon us moving to the new house and everything, our case worker has approached us about placing two twin girls in our care. It's not fair of us to split them up. And you and Tina are the same age and the best of friends."

"But-,"

He shook his head, "No but's, Rachel. We love you like our own, and even if you were our own, we'd still be having this discussion. You and Tina are both in high school and are going to be much more mature than this girls. Would you please do this for me and Terri?"

Rachel pursed her lips as she stared at her foster-father for a long time, but then she eventually nodded, "of course."

Reaching out, Will placed his hand on the side of her face and leaned in to press a kiss to her forehead, "That's my girl." Stepping back he smiled, "This is going to be great. It really is." Will never admitted it to anyone, but sometimes he feared that Rachel, Kurt, and now Tina would be taken to a new foster family any day. Their case worker had become a friend to the family, and she could even see that the three flourish with Will and Terri, and well, she definitely didn't see any reason to move them out of the household.

"This is preposterous!" Kurt yelled as he walked out of the house with a scold on his face, "Why do we have to move to a place called Lima? What kind of name is that!"

Rachel rolled her eyes and turned on her heel to look at Kurt, "And what kind of name is Delphos?"

Kurt came to a halt in from of Rachel and Will, opening his mouth to say something, he quickly shut it and let out a frustrated sigh, "I still don't like it. Why couldn't you just commute, Will?"

Letting out a chuckle, "I had considered it, but we'd rather you guys in the school district I work in. Plus, come on guys! This is a new house that we can really make ours. Bigger! Nicer! Be excited!"

"I'm excited, Will!" Tina said happily as she walked out carrying a box to put in the van. "I think this is a great thing."

Placing his hands on his hips, he glanced at his kids and smiled, "All right, I think that's enough for now. Lets head over to the new house and start to settle in. Terri's going to meet us there after work, and then we'll come back tomorrow to get any stuff we still need." He reached up to pull down the back of the van before heading to the driver's seat.

"Well, this is it..." Rachel sighed.

"Goodbye Delphos, hello Lima," Kurt cracked a small smile, "This place isn't going to know what hit them."

While Kurt went to join Will in the van, Rachel and Tina were to follow behind in Will's car. "R-Rachel, are you s-s-sure, you can drive this?" Tina had a stutter issue, but it had gotten better for her over the years. It seemed to only really come out when she was nervous, and well, Rachel's driving had the ability to make her very nervous. "I mean, you're so used to driving Terri's car.. maybe."

"Tina!" Rachel groaned, "It's fine I know what- oh!" the car rolled for a minute and Rachel quickly stomped her foot on the break, "I know what I'm doing."

"Yeah," Tina rolled her eyes and glanced out the window as they began to drive away from the house and towards Lima, "Are you worried about going to a new school?"

She hated admitting it, but Rachel really was, she had been so used to going to the same school with the same people since she was six years old, "I- I don't know, what about you?"

Tina shrugged her shoulders and continued to look out the window, "Really? I'm kind of used to it. I'm just glad this time they aren't moving me into another foster home, I just- I really like the Schuester's." She turned her head towards Rachel and smiled brightly, "And well.. I do like you and Kurt, when you guys aren't being divas or annoying."

The drive to Lima took about a half hour, and while it wouldn't have been a terrible thing for Will to commute everyday, he thought the move to a new house would do them some good. Of course, he had gone to his case worker and all that to make sure it was doable in order to keep Rachel, Kurt, and Tina in his and Terri's care. Once everything seemed to check out fine, he thought this was a great idea. Terri and Will had actually grown up in Lima and well, not that the kids really knew, things had been a little strained between the couple lately and he had started to think that maybe moving to their old area would make things better for them. One could only hope.

"D-Don't make me drive with her again!" Tina complained as she climbed out of the car and shut the door forcefully behind her.

"I am not that bad!" Rachel defended as she went over and handed Will the keys, "Terri taught me how to drive and I passed my drivers test!"

Rolling his eyes, Kurt couldn't help but smirk, "Yeah, but that doesn't mean you are fun to drive with."

Before any of them could say anything else, they turned their attention to the new Schuester house and couldn't help but smile, "it looks great!"

"Doesn't it?" Will smiled as he came over and put his hands on Kurt and Rachel's shoulders. "I'm really glad you guys are able to share this with me and Terri."

"We are too," Rachel said giving one of her award winning smiles. Turning her head slightly, she looked over Will's shoulder to see two boys in a yard across the street doing yard work. They didn't look like siblings, but then again, who was she to really call that.

After Will walked away, Kurt came up to her side, "What are we looking at?" He scanned in front of him before his eyes landed on what Rachel was gazing at. "Oh! How cute! I call dibs on the tall one."

Rachel turned her head and stared at Kurt, "Dibs? Kurt, you can't just assume he's gay."

"I know that, but-," he let out a sigh, "i don't know, should we go say hi?"

Rachel hesitated for a moment, something she rarely ever did. Why was she afraid to say hi? Maybe because she found them cute, she just wasn't sure. "Okay." They grabbed a hold of Rachel and headed across the street to the yard and quickly came to a halt.

Looking up, the shorter of the two, the one sporting a mohawk turned off the lawnmower, "Yo, Hudson. We got fans or something."

"What?" Finn lifted his head from his task to see a thin guy and two girls standing at the end of the lawn staring at him and Puck. "Uhh..."

"Well, hello there," Kurt started, giving a dazzling smile, "We just moved across the street and wanted to come over and say hi."

"Oh," Finn pursed his lips before glancing at Puck.

"That's cool, but we don't live here," Puck smirked, "And all three of you moved across the street? Are you... like... adopted or something?"

"Puck," Finn shot him a look.

"What!" he glanced at his friend before looking back at the group, "They clearly don't look related!"

"We're foster children..." Rachel said softly, chewing on her lip as her gazed stayed on the other one, who she know knew was not called Puck.

"Oh," Finn stood up and cleared his throat, "That's uhh-," shaking his head, "So you guys are going to be attending McKinley?"'

"We've assume so. Will, he's our foster father, he just got a job there as the new Spanish teacher and glee club coach," Kurt explained.

All Puck could do was snort, "We have a glee club?"

Rachel narrowed her eyes at him, "Apparently so."

Puck just rolled his eyes and went back to mowing, not caring to converse with them anymore. Finn sighed and shook his head, "Sorry, we're on a deadline. Maybe we'll see you around school."

Smiling, Rachel nodded, "Maybe."


Let me know if you think I should continue it!
