Chapter One
"Brotherly Love"
Disclaimer: You know the drill
Note: a)this takes place about a month after "Happy Holidays" does b)there won't be to much in thie story that relates to the other 2, so it's not a must that you read them (Secrets and Happy HOlidays) but I suggest it and c)Steven is 16 in this story and only this story, not 18 in the others and his father has lost all rights to him as well
Please understand those notesbecause if you don't especially on the one about Steven being 16 you'll probably flame me for no appearnt reason. Thanks bunches. Oh yeah! And no one knows about Steven doing anything to Kristin-no one has ever heard her cry out his name or she never told Peter or Scott anything, okay?

Kristin ran to catch up with the others. They were going to group to meet the newbie.
"So, whatcha been up to, Shorty? Having fun having a new family?" Auggie asked. "Yep. Except I can't get away with anything now!" She scowled. They laughed. "What could you get away with before?" Kat asked. Kristin thought. "Good question!" She exclaimed.
The truth was Peter had always protected her from anything that could harm her even before he and Sophie adopted her.
They walked in the den where Peter was. "So, what's the fresh meat-oops, I mean newbie?" Shelby asked and smiled sweetly. "Haha. Sophie is with him and his foster parent. Hey, Angel," he greeted his daughter as she went straight for the empty seat next to him.
"So what's the deelio with him?" JUles asked. "His name is Steven but I can't think of his last name-" Kristin's eyes widened at the name Steven and Peter noticed this. "Um...and he's 16. He lives with a foster parent because his parents rights to him were taken away." He finished.
Peter looked at Kristin as her grasp on his hand seemed like it was a clutch for life.
"What'd he do to get in here?" Shelby asked. "YOu know I cna't discuss that Shel. Well,, here they are!" Peter said but he was distracted by the frightened look on his daughter's face.
"Ooh...he's kinda cute!" Shelby whispered to SCott, trying to tease him but he was looking from Steven to Kristin.
The spikey-haired blonde boy looked up. He had a light tan. "Well, everybody this is Steven Maddox," Sophie said. most of the kids looked at Kristin, who was now attached to Peter's arm. Sophie shot a questingly look to Peter who shrugged. They both figured she'd be thrilled to see her brother.
"Well, Steven, these are the people you'll be spending all your time with. That's Auggie, Ezra, Kat, Shelby, Daisy, Jules-" Steven cut her off with, "Scotty-boy and sister dearest Kristin." Steven held his arms out to get a hug from Kristin but she didn't move. In fact she just tightened her grip on Peter.
A few kids snickered when Kristin didn't jump for joy. "Nice kid, nice," Steven muttered under his breath and shot his sister a 'I'm gonna get you' look.
"Um, Scott, why don't you show Steven around? Group will start in 15 minutes. Kristin go to my office. Steven's bags are already in the dorm." Peter said. "Um, Peter, I don't think you want me alone with COusin Dearest," Scott said through gritted teeth. "Scott, just do it!"
As Kristin was passing Steven he grabbed her arm. "I'm going to get you sista!" He whispered. She jerked away and ran to Peter's office.
