I hope you enjoy this. Thanks to my reviewers.

"Robyn, could you please come with me to my office for a few minutes?" Principal Powers asked as we left the kid's classroom.

"Uh, sure. I'll see you guys later I guess." I let go of Warren's hand and followed Principal Powers to her office. It was all white just like the rest of the school.

"Please take a seat. Robyn, I've asked you here to make sure your going to be OK with your school work and taking care of the children. You've missed 2 weeks and must make up the work. I'm giving you the option to take one of your elective classes and turn it into another study period." I love all my classes should I take it our not?

"Principal Powers, thank you for your concern but I really like my classes and I should do OK with them. My family is helping me take care of the kids.Is there anything else?

"There are 3 other things, one at lunch you are to take the children to the lunchroom, It's not fair keeping them cooped up in that room. The other is this bracelet, your sister made and just set it here. It's made to alert you when your needed by the kids. Mrs. Churchill has one that is linked to yours. When she needs you to come to the room, your bracelet will light up blue and vibrate. The children have an emergency button on theirs as a precaution, when that is hit your bracelet will turn red and beep. Lastly you will be spending study hall in the gym with the kids, helping them with their power training." She answered and handed me my bracelet, I slipped it on. She wants me to take the kids to lunch with me. That's gonna be interesting. I hope Deb, Jake and Warren are up to helping out. Well at least now I know when the kids need me.

"Alright. Can I go now, I'm missing Mad Science." She nodded her head and I left the room going straight to Medulla's class where he was lecturing about different types of minerals in meteors that can harm harm super heroes. I quietly walked back to my seat next to my boyfriend, he was asleep with his arms as pillows and his hair in his face. do I wake him or do I leave him? He probably wouldn't want to be waken up. Hey now I can play with his hair. I carefully picked up Warren's red streak in his hair and started to braid it while Medulla talked about Kryptonite and Superman. I finished the braid as my bracelet lit up blue and started vibrating.went off. I grabbed my bag and walked out of Medulla's class holding up my bracelet. I hurried to the room to see what they needed me for. I touched the sensor to be let in. As the door opened I hear Maxn crying. I walked in to see Jewel holding Maxn trying to calm him down.

"Robyn, he hasn't stopped since about 5 minutes after you left. You gotta get him to stop." Jewel whined handing him to me. I looked around the room. A teacher I didn't know was in the room helping Caleb with a worksheet, Bug,Shasta,Kristin and now Jewel were sitting at a table working on some worksheets,too. Meria and Kylie were drawing. I patted Maxn on the back til he started settling down and yawned. I walked around the room patting him til he fell asleep and I put him down in his playpen. "So how are you guys doing?" I asked the kids. Meria smiled and went back to drawing, Shasta and Bug replied with a fine, but Jewel got up and came over to me. "Robyn can I talk to you alone for a minute?"

"Sure, sweetie. Mrs. Churchill, I'm taking Jewel into the hall for a minute. Maxn should sleep for 2 hours or more." I opened the door and we went into the hall.

"Juju, what did you want darling?" I looked down at her and saw tears in her eyes.

"Robyn, I miss my dad, mom and Jacqui? Why did they all have to go away, it's not fair" I pulled her into me and held her close as she cried. She was always the strong willed leader of the little ones.

"Oh, baby I know I miss them too. Your mom's death was an accident and your dad and Jacqui died because there are bad people in the world. Sweetie, it's gonna be OK. Your gonna be fine." I responded. She's right it's not fair that they were all dead. She's just a kid but everyone expects her to lead the others. I can't do that to her. The bell rang for classes to change. I just stood there holding Jewel to me as the other students walked past. I felt someone walk up next to me, I looked over and giggled. Jewel put her head up, sniffled and smiled. "Jewel go back in the room and I'll be back soon." I let go of her and opened the door.

"OK Robyn, I like the red braid Warren." She said walking into the room. He put his hand to his hair and felt it. I started laughing.

"When did you do this?" He asked annoyed, pulling the braid out.

"When you were sleeping in Medulla's class, I was bored and your hair was right there." I said trying to sound serious. I started rubbing my hands together because they were getting cold

"I thought you didn't come to class. Why didn't you wake me up?" He grabbed my hands and put them between his warming them instantly.

"You looked peaceful and Medulla's lecture was boring. I got called out of class by this handy bracelet, before I could undo it ." I showed him my new accessory."It tells me when the kids need me. So what are we doing in English?"

"We finished Othello last week and starting Romeo and Juliet today but Mrs.Allen decided this time we were gonna act it out." Just doing Romeo and Juliet. I need to talk to Powers.

"Come with me to Powers' office, I have to ask her something." I turned around and pulled him with me down the hall. I knocked on the door and waited for her to answer. The door opened and she stepped out.

"Ms.Woods, Mr.Peace what do you need?" She asked.

"Principal Powers I was wondering since we are reading Romeo and Juliet in English could I bring Jewel with me? She's having a bad day and I think it would be good for her to get away from her siblings for a bit." I asked hoping she would allow it.

"If you think that is best then alright. Let me write a note for you." She walked back into her office,came back out and handed me a note . "This will allow her to come to class with you, if she acts up this won't happen again, and the note also makes it your not tardy."

"Thank you. I promise she won't act up." Warren pulled me away and back down the hall to the kid's room. I opened the door to find Mr.Medulla giving the kids worksheets.

"Mr.Medulla, I have special permission to bring Jewel to English with me." I showed him the note as Jewel got up from the table and came over to me giving me a hug. "Come on. I can't miss parts of all my classes." Then the bell rang.I swear I'm never gonna sit through another full class again.

I gave Jewel a piggy-back to English. Warren offered to take her from me but I declined. I put her down before we got to the door. "Juju, remember you have to be good in here. We're acting out Romeo and Juliet."

"Rob, I know. I'm not a little kid anymore you said so yourself." She gave me that look of 'I'll be an angel'

"Robyn, she's right. Lets get into class." Warren defended Jewel. We walked in the door and I handed Mrs. Allen the note. She read it and pointed to the 3 empty desks in the middle of the room.

"Alright class as I was saying by show of hands who here has read Romeo & Juliet?" Me, Warren and half the class raised our hands. "OK, Who actually understood what it's about?" There was only 5 of us, Jenna(from Music), Will, Layla,Warren and I. "Mr.Peace please tell the class what the book is about in your own words."

"This about 2 teenage kids that fall in love but because their families hate each other, they can't be together. They meet in secret and get married. Juliet's cousin kills Romeo's best friend and Romeo kills him in revenge. He's banished from the city leaving Juliet alone. Juliet fakes her own death by taking a poison that makes her look dead. She sent Romeo a letter but Romeo heard of her death before getting it. He gets poison of his own and goes to the mortuary where she lays. He lays down beside her and took the poison. Juliet awoke a few minutes later to find her love dead and no poison left for her, so she takes his dagger and kills herself." Warren said in his normal gruff voice. He really knows his Romeo and Juliet. He does read a lot though.

"Very good, Mr.Peace. Now we are going to act this play out here in the classroom. I'll be giving you all roles. I'm not going to make you get into a costume or anything but you will be standing in front of the class and acting. Warren since you have such a grasp on the story you are Romeo.Robyn you are Juliet. Layla the nurse, Will- Mercutico..." Holy shit, did she just make me Juliet! I understand the story but this is crazy. Warren makes a good Romeo though. I hope that she doesn't make us do the kissing scene. I like kissing Warren but not in public.

A pile of books was passed to me, I took one and kept passing them. "Robyn are you OK? You look like you seen a mouse." Jewel whispered to me.

"She looks more freaked out then seeing a mouse." Warren whispered to her.

Jewel giggled "She hasn't told you that she is afraid of mice. She might act all tough, but put a mouse in front of her and she flips out and screams." Warren cracked a smile and raised his eyebrow at me.

"Jewel, be quiet. Yes I hate mice, they freak me out." I hissed at her.

"For today and for homework tonight, I want you to all read the book. Please begin." I stared at the book for a minute. "Jewel are you ready to go back with the other kids yet. Please say yes I want to get out of here for a few minutes."

"Fine, I gotta do that Science work anyway and Caleb is cute, your not the only one that gets eye-candy while in school." She said getting up. Warren looked up at her then me with a questioning glance.

"What am I supposed to do, she's 13. I'll see you later." I said smiling and grabbed my bag. "Mrs.Allen, Jewel wants to go back to her classroom. Is it alright if I take her, I have to check on the others anyway." The teacher just nodded her head. We left the room and walled down the empty white hall.

"Jewel, I think you have been successful in officially making my boyfriend feel uncomfortable. So you like Caleb?"

"He's nice. He lives 2 blocks from us. I helped him with our math homework. Hey guess what Mrs.Churchill said we get to come watch Save the Citizen next hour. Have you ever played that game?" Jewel smiled at me.

"Yup, Me and Jake beat Warren and Will on our first day. I fainted though. Maybe next time I play you kids can help me out." I winked touching the sensor. We walked in the room. Everything was fine. Kasmeria, Shasta and Kylie were all napping on little cots. Bug, Kristin and Caleb were doing some science worksheets. Mrs. Churchill was sitting at her desk reading. Jewel went and took her seat next to Caleb and started working.

"Hi Mrs.Churchill how are the kids doing?"

"They are doing great. The girls fell asleep a little bit ago. Bug is doing exceptional in his work.Maxn hasn't woke up yet." She replied back.

"Good. Bug what are you working on?" I turned my attention to my cousins. "A worksheet on weather. Mr.Medulla has a big head" I couldn't help it, I laughed. "I know, but that's cuz he has a big brain."

I sat down in the rocking chair that was over by Maxn's playpen. I sat there for a few minutes just taking it all in. These kids are mine. They look to me for guidance. What am I doing? Am I crazy for taking this on? No because we are family and love each other.

The bell rang was gonna ring in 5 minutes.I gently woke up Meria and Shasta as Mrs. Churchill woke up Kylie. I picked up the sleeping Maxn, bouncing him to get him up. I gave Maxn to Jewel and told the kids I'd see them in a few minutes and going into the locker room and changing. I waited for Debbie, Magenta and Layla."Hey Rob, how are the kids? Debbie asked opening her locker

"Fine, I've spent more time with them than in class. Jewel had a breakdown and came with me and Warren to English. We are acting out Romeo and Juliet, guess who got the lead?" I said annoyed.

"You, who's Romeo?" Debbie answered.

"Warren."

"Warren is Romeo. Whoa, I beat he wasn't to happy. He hates being put in front of others like that." Layla stated. After everyone was dress we walked into the gym and found the guys. I saw Mrs. Churchill come in with the kids, so I went down and helped her bring them over to the group.

"Guys these are my cousins Jewel,Bug,Shasta, Kasmeria and Maxn. This is Mrs. Churchill and her kids Caleb (Warren gave me an eyebrow look), Kristen and Kylie. Kids and Mrs. Churchill these are my friends Will, Layla, Ethan,Zach,Magenta,Debbie, Jake and Warren." I pointed to everyone introducing them and taking Maxn from Mrs. C(A/N: I'm shortening it. It's annoying spelling her name so much.) and sitting down next to Warren. All the other kids sat in the row in front of us except Meria who was sitting on Jake's lap and was giggling.

"So that's Jewel's eye-candy. " Warren said sarcastically.

"Come on Warren she's 13, I'm sticking to her dad's rule. No boys til 16. Maxn stop your choking me, let go." I pulled Maxn's hand from my dog tag necklace around my neck."Debbie" She looked at me as I started signing If I'm called today remove their bracelets, but keep Maxn calm. She nodded her head yes, with a smile.

"Everyone quiet down." Coach Boomer boomed. "Today we are going to have a re-match. Hot-Head, Stronghold you are the heroes. Danvers and Woods Villains." Will, Jake,Warren and I all stood up. I handed Maxn to Jewel."Remember what I said when I brought you back from English. Do it but keep Maxn calm. Debbie will undo them." I walked down the bleachers and into the locker room, putting on the ugly spandex suit and grabbing my inhaler. I used it and walked out into the arena area. Jake was waiting again."You ready for this?"

"Yup. I have a secret weapon now. Their bracelets are off." Jake's eyes widened and he got a wicked smile. "Same set up as before I got Warren, you got Will?"

"Deal, but you gotta bail me out if I need it and don't faint this time. you used your inhaler right?"

"Yes, Dad! God it was a fluke last time, besides Warren doesn't get burned by me." I said walking to the middle of the floor and smiled at Warren with an evil grin he grinned back. He maybe my boyfriend but that doesn't mean I'm letting up on him.

Thanks for reading. R&R!
