Ethan and Cal stood outside their birth mother's, Emily Groom's house. Ethan continued to stare at the house. Cal looked at him.

"You don't have to do this, not if you don't want to." Cal continued to look at Ethan.

"No. I need to do this." Ethan tried to take this in. "I remember being here Cal. I don't know why. It all seems familiar." Ethan sighed.

"I felt the same way when I came here." Cal also sighed. "You ready?" He waited for his younger brother to give him the nod as they walked to the door where Cal knocked gently. The door opened to reveal Emily's care assistant.

"Cal/Steven." Shelle beamed.

"Hey Shelle, this is-" Cal was cut off.

"Michael!" Shelle assumed. "You look as handsome as your brother." Shelle looked at Ethan, who was confused.

"I'm sorry, you're talking to me?" Ethan asked politely. Cal forgot to tell him about their real names.

"Yes. Please come in! It's freezing out here." Shelle smiled as she welcomed the boys in. They thanked her as they walked past her. Shelle walked into the living room. "Emily. Guess who's here?!" She beamed excitedly.

"Is it...Steven?!" Emily asked excitedly. Ethan took in her voice, Cal watched him in worry.

"You okay?" Cal asked as he stood behind Ethan. Ethan turned around.

"Yes I'm fine." Ethan lied, he was in so much shock just by hearing her voice.

"Steven!" Emily called. "Oh whoops...I mean...Cal! Come here...darling." Ethan stared at Cal who shrugged his shoulders then walked into the living room.

"Hello...Emily." Ethan listened to Cal's hesitant voice. Calling her Emily? This was their real mother. Weird.

"How...are...you? I'm glad...you came...back." Emily fidgeted.

"I'm fine, there's someone I want you to meet." Cal smiled. He turned his head towards the doorway, waiting for Ethan to enter when he finally does. "This is your other son, Michael."

"Michael. Do..you have...different name...as well?" Emily hiccuped a giggle.

"Erm...its Ethan." Ethan replied bluntly. Cal stared him, looking a little cross. Emily continued to stare at Ethan. "I'm sorry, I can't do this." Ethan turned around and walked out of the house. Emily's smile went and became sad.

"Ethan!" Cal called after him then looked back at Emily. "I'm sorry." Cal frowned before going after Ethan. He ran outside in the dark, it was hard to see where Ethan was till he heard heavy, fast breathing, he followed the sound. "Ethan!" Cal called as he saw him pacing, arms crossed whilst biting a nail. "Ethan! Talk to me." Cal gripped Ethan's shoulders.

"I can't...I can't..." Ethan tried to talk.

"Right Ethan, look at me. I was nervous too but once you meet her properly, you'll find that...she did what she had to do." Cal realised that it wasn't all of Emily's fault.

"She didn't think to mention about...the illness?" Ethan panted.

"Trust me, I felt the same. But if you come into the house, you will get answers. I promise." Cal looked into Ethan's eyes.

"I can't do it Cal. I thought I could. But I can't." Ethan looked down, almost ashamed.

"We will get though this together, Ethan. But we need to talk to her. You need to know why, I can't explain it to you. She needs to tell you, you should listen to her side. It absolutely hurt her when she gave us up." Cal tried to persuade Ethan.

Ethan hesitated, he got out of Cal's grip and ran a hand through his hair in anxiety. Cal watched in hope that Ethan would give in. Ethan looked around, mumbling words then looked back at Cal, Ethan sighed then nodded consent. Cal smiled and walked back to house as Ethan followed.

This isn't the end, I want to fit one or two more chapters in I think. Thank you so far for the reviews, favourites and follows : )
