The italics in this chapter are dreams and thoughts; the first italic is Nina's dream. I'm think there are maybe only four chapters left to this story, I made a vow to myself to not post anything new/sequels until I had a few stories completed. I am hoping to do a sequel for this story once it's completed.

Chapter 8 - A Family Forever

Nina

"Nina come on, get up".

I squirmed feeling someone poking me in the side, I heard a few giggles, and then some more poking followed by another round of someone begging me to haul my ass out of bed.

"No school. Saturday" I murmured into my pillow pulling the comforter back over my head.

"Nina" Kate whined pulling back down the comforter.

I moaned sticking my head under the pillow, attempting to block out the light streaming through the small cracks in the curtains. I felt my bed shift and the two girls get up. I heard them some feet away talking into, what I guess to be my cell, and someone cursing back at them into the phone about too early in the morning. I drifted back to sleep hearing the two girls wandering around down stairs

Reid was leaning against my dresser wearing a pair of gray sweatpants; slung low on his hips, and a bare chest, I grinned tossing back my covers and flinging myself at him, clinging to his barely clothed form. He backed my much smaller form against the dresser, pressing his lips against mine. He ran his tongue along my bottom lip begging for entrance, my lips parted letting his tongue slip into my mouth and clash with mine. His hands ran down my sides, resting on my hips; while my arms wound around his neck. He lifted me up so I could wrap my legs around his waist as he moved us towards the bed….

"NINA!"

I sprang from the bed cursing who ever had ruined my 'interesting' dream, I looked around only to come face to face with a pajama clad Sarah who was kneeling at where my head had just rested. I glared at her crossing my arms over my chest watching her smiling face.

"Since when is 'quite girl'" I asked using my new nickname for her" 'loud girl'?" Sarah giggled pulling on my arm and consequently me half out of my bed which was now covered in all our blankets and pillows and god knows what else was amongst the tangle of the blankets.

"Alright" I moaned pulling myself out of bed and walking down the hall after a giggling Sarah. I could smell something cooking as we approached the kitchen. I stumbled past the doorway and into something which turned out to be the corner of the counter, which sent me stumbling backwards and landing with a thud onto the floor.

"Ouch." I hissed.

"I want you to be there, tonight…" He whispered in her ear. She knew of his plan to get revenge on the other 'Sons', to get Caleb to will him his powers that very night at Putnam barn.

"You sure?" She asked looking up to meet his blazing eyes, those blue eyes that were slowly making her weak at the knees with fear. She sighed still shaking in his presence.

"Absolutely," He stated said running a hand through her hair as they stood at the window of his dorm.

"So are you excited?" Kate question nibbling on some toast while Sarah looked around the kitchen for something for herself.

"Ecstatic" I murmured laying my head against the table to get rid of the horrible memory that had tainted me when I could have been having much better ones. It was probably chase making sure I stayed on task.

"Someone's a little high on the sarcasm this morning" Sarah grinned "she was probably having naughty dreams about Reid, and now she's mad we woke her up."

"Was not."

"Tell that to the shit eating grin on your face then" Kate replied opening a cupboard and pulling out a glass, filling it to the top with some type of juice my mother had in the fridge.

"Thank Kate, Really" I sighed running a hand over my face. Two more weeks, and it'll be all over no more fights just over. The way it should have been form the beginning, no fighting amongst the five families.

"So... Nina... Has Reid told you anything interesting about his past yet?" Kate questioned while sitting down beside me grinning foolishly.

"Yup."

"Dang he did tell her…" Kate grinned over at Sarah.

"Probably not the worst part of it though" Sarah smiled back.

"I don't want to know" I muttered sliding off the stool and walking out of the kitchen, but not before noticing Chase sitting on the bench beside the door with a depressed expression donning his handsome face.
