Summer passed quickly, and as Rose began to reach for her seventh week of pregnancy, she also reached for her school uniform, and satchel bag. It was seven in the morning; she had already showered, been sick (she considered it part of a morning routine, it was so frequent), dressed, and artistically done her hair and makeup to look natural enough that the teachers would not notice. She was early.

Staring in the mirror, she sighed, ruffling the back of her hair a little while balancing precariously on her crutches, feeling tremors burble in her stomach from nerves as she moved to flatten the short pleated skirt of the uniform the twins had redesigned, with help from their mother, for the beginning of the new term. It was nice, she liked it.

She wondered how well it hid baby bumps.

For a moment, Rose stared at her reflection in fear.

"I'm going to school-pregnant." She stated to herself, and her body shuddered violently for a moment with the revelation that wasn't all that hard to find, and she needed to sit down for a second, returning to the bed she had already left, Lilly still curled in a foetal position within the thick, silky covers. Rose stroked her blonde hair absentmindedly, contemplating waking her from her sleep for a reassuring talk.

Deciding the idea of a large, red, shiny apple downstairs, filled with that sweet, nectar like juice, and soft yet crunchy bite... Yes, deciding that sounded far more compelling, she swung her specially allowed (for her poor, broken foot) trainer shoes away with her arms pressing down with the silvery grey crutches which helped her slide her foot forward, pausing only at the door to blow her sibling a goodbye kiss.

"Wish me luck, Lil." She whispered softly. "I'm gonna need it."

When sat on the counter in the kitchen, chewing on an oversized apple, a bowl of that wheat and rice cereal with apple dried flakes in also looking really appetising, she thought over the past few weeks.

She did get Lilly's present, and had adored it. It was now hung proudly on her bedroom wall, now having one of the more laughter filled, happier times with her twins smiling down on her while she slept. She liked that.

After the situation had been explained to Yuzuha, a maternity range had been planned, along with baby clothes, and baby furniture, and popular baby names... Rose sighed. Yuzuha was daydreaming about the idyllic world in which Hikaru had fathered her child. He hadn't.

Occasionally, the twins stayed overnight, these nights Lilly would retire to her own bedroom, either Rose and the two boys sleeping all together in the living room, or Kaoru would stay in Paddy's old room overnight (which he immensely enjoyed, because from the size of Paddy, his bed was huge and well worn, it was incredibly comfortable) while Hikaru stayed with Rose in her room. It had passed quickly, a wave of nausea, training little Jackie that peeing on furniture is a bad thing, and recovering musical scores coated in doggy saliva.

That reminded her, where was little Jackie that morning?

As if answering her question, the small white dog skittered into the room, jumping up at her excitedly. She beamed, carefully standing on her cast so she could bend down to reach her small pet, scooping her into a cuddle, her apple core lying on the counter side, forgotten.

As the dog barked and yelped happily in her arms, she rubbed the fluffy white head fondly, the red collar glistening around her neck. She smiled slightly. Hikaru had bought that collar.

While she had seemed rather unresponsive in her memory at the most spectacular gift at the time, when alone, she had thanked him accordingly, hugging him tightly and squealing noisily in his arms how grateful she was and how much she loved him- she decided when he turned bright pink was a suitable cut off point.

She cradled the animal lovingly, before setting Jackie down onto the floor in search of breakfast. She herself returned to food, and had just cleaned out a bowl (or... four) of that apple cereal, when the doorbell buzzed cheerfully, only for the door to swing open before anyone reached it.

"Hikaru- I rung the doorbell. Don't just open the door and walk in..." Kaoru reprimanded quietly, but Rose heard, and she snickered.

"Why not?" Hikaru huffed. "They won't mind."

Rose internally agreed, it would be a time saver. She wouldn't need to keep getting up to go to the door, which was beginning to annoy her due to her lack of coordinated walking with her crutches.

"Morning!" she called from the kitchen, as the two scuttled through. "He's right, just walk in. I'm not bothered, and Lilly wouldn't be either."

Hikaru smirked victoriously, and Kaoru grinned sheepishly.

"Pass me my crutches? Jackie knocked them over and I can't reach." Rose scowled bitterly, as Hikaru snorted with laughter, scooping them up and passing them to the chair confined girl. She wriggled them over her arms, before pulling herself upright, each twin either side of her to catch her if/when she fell.

She didn't, which she was quite proud of, and the three began to head out for the car the twins had brought round, Rose's bag slung over Hikaru's shoulder as he didn't want the weight to make her 'topple over' while she was on the crutches.

She'd laughed at him, but never complained.

The first few periods of school revolved around Rose's right foot. People gushed to her how awful they thought it was, and a few braver students asked her for a turn on her crutches. She allowed them, amused as they flung themselves along hallways, enjoying themselves too much, before returning them, complaining of sore arms. In English class, the teacher asked her to recount the incident in English, and then the other students would have to decipher the details of the accident, and if they got them right, they were given extra credit.

The twins and Haruhi immediately gained lots of credit.

"So, tell me." Kaoru began, the four sat at a small table in the cafeteria, each with their own nearly finished tray (minus Haruhi, who had her small bento lunch that Hikaru and Kaoru gave longing stares). "When do you get stuff like, sonograms and learn about the baby more?"

"Soon, apparently." Rose lowered her voice – the teachers knew of her condition, but not the students, and she wanted it to remain that way. "I have a sonogram coming up soon."

"Can-we-come-can-we-come-can-we-come?" The twins chanted, leaning towards her with wide, Jackie worthy eyes.

"Yes, yes, you can come." She smiled wearily, and they grinned happily, victorious for now. "Haruhi, do you want to come?"

"What day is it?" Haruhi asked, adopting the same hushed tone that the twins had seemed to miss.

"A week on Saturday" the singer informed quietly, toying with her empty tray a little. "Seems daunting, ne?"

"... Yeah... I'm sorry, but I can't come that day" the short haired girl pulled a face "Tamaki's going through an over organized faze and is 'booking' things, and apparently, without me knowing, I am fully booked that day."

"D'aw, that's quite cute." Rose laughed, and Haruhi gave her a look.

"It's annoying."

The bell cut off any chance for more conversation, and they stood briskly, Hikaru helping Rose to her feet with the crutches, and Kaoru looking at Haruhi oddly.

"Everything alright?" He asked, much quieter than the girls had been conversing in before, and she sighed irritably, wringing her hands a little.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Really, fine. I'm fine."

The day passed fleetingly, not much of interest happening, only curious glances towards Rose's still flat stomach from teachers, news of a 'welcome back' concert in a few weeks with all the public schools in the area, with the choir, band and one soloist (Rose felt as though she should start hitting her head against the wall now to save time), and occasional assignments of math or science homework that Kaoru and Rose would pass off to Hikaru with the promise if it was lingual or literature, they'd do the same for him.

Waving the car that still held her twins in away, Rose returned to her home, hobbling into the large house, searching for her sister amicably.

"Lil? You home?" She called, and no response came. "Lilly?"

At her word, Jackie came dashing into view, skidding a little on the floor, dashing towards her at great speed. She laughed, dropping her crutches and sitting on the floor with the puppy, rubbing the dogs ears and scratching the fluffy white back. They sat for a good five minutes, neither noticing when Lilly came wafting through the door, a vase of her name sake balanced perfectly in her hands.

"Rose! Hey- check out these lilies, I'm gonna put them in the lounge."

And for a while, normal life seemed to resume.

"Alright, I'm gonna have to ask you to lift your shirt."

Tensing slightly, Rose did as she was told. Seven weeks along in pregnancy terms, it was time for her first sonogram, and Hikaru and Kaoru hovered awkwardly next to her as she shifted carefully, lifting the blue tank top she had pulled on hastily that morning. Both of the twins had seen the extent of her bruising now, but she still saw them visibly flinch and stiffen when they saw the swirling purple marks along the left side of her body, pooling around her upper chest and around her trouser line. The cuts, though they were nearly healed, didn't help, the pink streaks still bumps on her skin. The woman Kyoya had enlisted to come to his family clinic smiled supportively at her, showing her the gel she would be spreading over her stomach, and Rose nodded dumbly, feeling very exposed as cold, plastic fingers began to probe her skin, spreading the icy gel over her. She shuddered, biting her lip a little.

The doctor began to explain the procedure- the special kind of radiation would penetrate her skin, and reflect off her stomach, back to the small contraption she placed over the gel coated skin, giving a basic black and white image of the babies. Hikaru interjected, asking why she needed the gel in the first place- surely just skin would be fine- but the doctor silenced him with knowledge, beginning a spiel on the importance of the conductor, helping the radiation through, to get a more accurate image of the child and check for any problems, and did he really want the child to be born with some defect they had not noticed and prepared for.

He silenced. Kaoru sniggered.

"Right, just... try not to move too much..." The female doctor smiled again, placing the radiation-contraption-thing that Rose didn't quite understand on the gel, cool metal making her shudder like the gel had. It was linked to some kind of screen that was next to the 'hospital bed' that Rose lay in. Small, blurry grey shapes began to form on the screen, but the main shape was a large, black orb. Noticing her confusion, the doctor smiled. "That's your womb." She explained, tracing the circle with her finger. "And there..." she frowned. "Wait a second... what's...?"

A look of panic overcame Rose's face.

"What's what?" She demanded an answer, her hand clenching. "What is it?"

"What's wrong?" Now Hikaru was panicking, leaning over Rose to get a better look at the screen. "Come on, say something!"

The doctor turned around, a sheepish grin on her face.

"Er, nothing... There was a smear on the screen."

Exhaling, Rose and Hikaru shot equally irritated glares to the woman, while Kaoru snorted with laughter.

"Don't do that to me." The pregnant girl snapped, relaxing a little. "The baby is okay?"

"Yeah, very well developed for such a young foetus..." She paused again, examining the image. "You're seven weeks along, right?"

"Something like that." Rose was getting irritated. The woman was blocking the screen with her bouffant hair, and she couldn't see the damn baby.

"Hmm, looks older." She mused, blinking. "This one will be an early one... anyway! Here..." she moved, pointing out a small grey blob, that looked like it had a few more smaller blobs attached. "... is the baby..."

Rose blinked.

It looked like it might be another smear, and was about to ask if she had gotten the right shape, when it twitched a little, fidgeting in the black canvas that was her womb. Her mouth dropped open, momentarily shocked as an involuntary 'oh...' came out her mouth. Staring at the moving blur, she smiled a little, lifting a finger up, and placing it carefully over the screen where it was.

"She's perfect..." she cooed, her smile widening. The doctor laughed a little.

"Well, I don't know how you're so sure it's a girl..." She chuckled, and Rose rolled her eyes, still smiling.

"Mother's intuition, whatever." The brunette retorted, a confident smile on her face, which monetarily faltered. "... mother..."

And everything got very, very real.

She felt Hikaru grip her other hand, noticing her word choice and shock, and she smiled at him, still holding her finger to the child.

"Look!" she burbled, feeling a new kind of excitement bubble inside of her. "It's really there!"

"One wishes circumstance was kinder." Kaoru quoted solemnly, and Rose glared.

"I'd like to forget about that, thanks."

Kaoru grinned apologetically, and she rolled her eyes again, laughing a little. She moved her hand from the screen so she could poke at the gel coated stomach, and watched the screen jiggle a little as she did. The foetus wriggled a little more, and she giggled with delight.

"Now, it's not a toy..." The doctor mock scolded, and Rose pulled a face.

"Aww, but it's cute!" She whined a little, moving her hand back up to pat the screen.

"It looks like a tiny little alien." Hikaru grinned, moving his weight onto his arms so the bed carried him as he gazed at the little screen.

"It does, doesn't it!" Kaoru beamed, staring at the blob happily.

"I assume you want pictures..." the doctor busied herself, printing off numerous little screenshots onto small flips of paper, surrounded by dates and times and patient ID, making Rose wonder just how many patients did Kyoya have.

The gel was cleaned, the pictures stashed, and the doctor thanked and the three departed, each secretly wanting to look at the pictures again, but not voicing it to the others for one very loud reason in their minds.

"It's a shame." Rose finally muttered, and without having to elaborate, the twins caught onto her train of thought in moments. "It's a real shame."

"Haru-heeee!"

She almost flinched at the sound, as for the twenty first time that day (she lost count at fifteen, so this was a rough estimate) Tamaki latched to her, squealing how 'cute' she was. Flushing pink in embarrassment, she eagerly avoided eye contact with the civilians who gave them amused glances as they watched them from their seats in the 'commoner coffee shop'.

"Tamaki, please get off me." She snapped, giving him a look, and he retreated sharply, not entirely serious, acting out his usual 'mushroom emo corner of doom', hoping for a humoured reaction. He got none. "Oh stop acting up!"

"Alright alright..." He returned swiftly, taking her chin with his hand, pulling her face towards his, making an overly romantic gesture with his free hand. "Would you rather..." he began to swipe his thumb across her cheek, hoping for a flustered blush or a pleased smile "...this, my princess?"

She frowned.

"Tamaki, stop acting like a fool."

Crushed, he slouched in his seat, returning to sipping at his favoured coffee, occasionally muttering that instant was superior, hoping for her to hear him and praise him for his excellent commoner tastes.

Frustrated, Haruhi glared.

"I have a lot of studying I need to be doing." She sighed, standing, with every intention of leaving. "Ouran University didn't offer me a place for slacking. I need to stay on top..."

"Haru- I..." Tamaki trailed off, dejected, as his girlfriend shuffled awkwardly in front of him. He groaned a little, his palm meeting his forehead. "I can walk you home?"

"No. No it's fine." The blunt girl seemed unusually torn, wringing her hands. "Well, er, bye."

She hastily slipped out, without so much as a wave or a moment for him to return the one syllable word, and Tamaki sighed into his mug, pulling out his phone, ringing her immediately.

"... Tamaki, please don't say you miss me already, I just left."

He chortled a little, listening to her avidly, absorbing her voice desperately.

"I think we need to talk, darling." He murmured, gently, and he heard her exhale shortly on the other side.

"I know. I'll come back and you can walk me home."

The moment Tamaki saw her outside the coffee shop, her opened his arms and embraced her, tightly, a feeling of regret swelling in his throat.

"I love you, Haru, you know that right?"

She shifted in his tightly wrapped arms, a few tears wanting to build up in her eyes.

"I know. And I love you too."

A brief silence over came the two, before Tamaki chuckled.

"You don't love me the way you used to though, do you?"

She began to shake her head, and his shirt began to feel a little damp.

"I-I don't... but you-I mean-I don't..."

He kissed the top of her head, understanding the tears were for her confusion, and not for him. Never for him.

"I know. You want us to be friends and you're worried that will change."

Haruhi found herself disliking his serious moods more than his playful, excited ones. His knowing tone was sharp and bitter.

"I-I'm sorry..."

"Don't be, darling daughter!" He pulled back, his eyes a little red, but a smile plastered across his face. "N-Now come on- I'll walk you home so you can get that studying in-and-and we'll be friends. Just like old times, right?"

Haruhi nodded, her eyes large and sad, and allowed him to hold tightly onto her hand as they walked- a last toleration for the first love she had thought impossible to lose.

'... Mother in heaven, is this what it feels like to have your heart broken? Because even though I don't love him anymore... I can't bear to see him cry.'

Kyoya's phone buzzed from his desk, and he glanced up from Haruhi's third notebook, noting only the sender's name, before pushing away from the desk, the wheels on the chair propelling him to his bed, and reaching under for Tamaki's notebook.

"Hikaru, you answer it." Kaoru sleepily grumbled- it was eleven in the morning. Far too early for getting up on a Sunday.

"Ngh, you." The elder twin groggily replied, sprawled out on their shared bed, occasional limbs tangling with his brothers. "I'm asleep."

"No you're not." The younger snapped, more awake, as his hand fumbled across to the phone. He brought it to his ear, sitting up a little. "Hello?"

"H-Hey, I don't mean to be rude but which twin is this?"

"Good morning Lilly. This is Kaoru."

"A-Alright, sorry, is Rose there?"

Suddenly, his heart stopped beating. His hand flew to Hikaru, shaking him awake, a look of panic waking the elder twin instantly.

"No, we've not seen Rose since yesterday at the scan." He whispered, and a small wail of despair came from the muffled phone.

"Shit, she's missing?" Hikaru leapt out of the bed, hastily pulling clothes on and snatching his mobile from the side, trying to call her. "... ... ... Her phone's off..."

"Right, okay, let's not panic." Kaoru decidedly announced, both to Lilly and Hikaru at once. "Lilly, you keep ringing around- like Haruhi, Tamaki, Kyoya, that sort of thing. We'll go look for her, alright?"

"O-Okay.."

Kaoru hung up shortly after, following Hikaru in dressing quicker than normally, not unnoticed by his brother.

"Come on." Hikaru urged, taking his brother's hand and dragging him out. "We can start at the park."

"... ... ... Morninguh?"

"Um, sorry to interrupt your morning, is, er, Haruhi around?"

"No. I have to make my own lunch today, oh woe is me-"

"Sorry to be blunt, er, but do you know where she went, and if someone called Rose was with her?"

"Mm, she was with a friend- a very pretty one, she might be Rose. Said something about cheering Haru up with something she always used for support when she was low. I got really worried- my little Haru upset? But at least she has a better friend than she does boyfriend- I mean- that Suoh boy is a perverted, clingy bastard, you agree with me, right?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Hello? Are you still there?"

Lilly had long dropped the phone and began to sprint, yelling for the car to be brought around.

"Well where can we look next?" Kaoru grumbled. They had searched the park, mall (which was open, surprisingly), little-forest-next-to-park that for some reason unknown to Kaoru, Hikaru thought she might have gone to, and every other place they could have associated with the girl. "I mean, how many places can you go to on a Sunday morning?"

Hikaru stared at his brother for a second, as if something had just occurred to him.

And he burst out laughing.

"W-What? What's so funny?" Kaoru demanded, suddenly self conscious as his brother stared at him, howling with laughter. "Come on- Rose is missing and you're busy laughing, and..."

"It's a Sunday morning." Hikaru giggled, raising an eyebrow. "Where do you think she will be?"

Lilly tapped her foot, stood outside a large church, waiting for the service to finish. It wasn't far off, she could hear the opening chords to the final hymn, and she decided that would be a clever time to slip inside. She was about to force the heavy wooden door open when the twins caught her attention, sprinting across the street and waving enthusiastically towards her. Raising a hand, she waited for them to arrive before opening it, giving them frustrated smiles of greeting.

A choir procession was almost marching along the aisle, draped in red cloaks with white trimming, one younger girl at the front carrying a heavy looking golden cross on a long wooden pole, so the elegant craftsmen work glinted prettily from the rainbow like shine from the painted windows. The rather small congregation didn't notice them, caught up in cheerfully chanting out the words to a well known hymn, some showing signs of fatigue from standing so long for the rather long hymn.

"On- the churches one foundation!"

"Ah- that's Rose's voice." Kaoru whispered, a humoured tone to his voice, as the three scanned the congregation for the brunette anywhere. Hikaru spotted her first, pointing towards the girl stood next to a girl with chopped, short hair, wearing a blue dress. He squinted. Was that Haruhi? In a dress? With no occasion?

The hymn subsided, and the reverend called some words out to the audience like mass, who replied with a monotonous 'Thanks be to God', before milling together and aiming for the door tiredly. Pressing against the wall, fearful of the slow motion stampede, the three searchers scanned the mass for the two girls. Once spotted, the twins pounced. Hikaru grabbed Rose, who screamed very loudly in surprise, while Haruhi (who seemed to have built up a resistance to these things) merely jumped as Kaoru grabbed her.

"Don't scare me like thaaaat!" Rose whined, pushing them forward in the queue, noticing Lilly's presence further ahead too. The elder glared at her. She flinched.

"You're one to talk!" Kaoru pouted, feeling the gaze of multiple parishioners on his neck. "... Did we do something wrong?"

"Making me scream in Church might be it." Rose huffed, pausing at the door where the reverend was. "I'll meet you outside!" She turned to talk to him for a moment, the tall, bulky man with greying hair pulled her to the side for a moment, out of the other's way. Trying to peer at them from the crowds, Lilly made the word 'young' and 'help' out from her quickly moving lips, but she was quickly shoved out the door, to wait with the other four. The three turned to Haruhi.

"... You go to church with Rose?" The twins chimed, and she flushed, looking down.

"Well, not really. Today was my first time- she said when she's feeling low it's a good support thing." She gave an amused smile. "Honestly, I don't see the appeal; it doesn't make sense to me."

"Atheist?" Lilly asked quietly, for the other members of the church still lingered, and Haruhi nodded.

"Logic is power." She shrugged. "But the thought was nice..."

"Why are you 'low' then?" Kaoru pulled a sad face, mimicked by his brother in nanoseconds.

"Eh, Tamaki and I broke up."

The twins looked at her with mouths wide open for a moment.

"Haru-hiii!" They wailed, hugging her tightly. "What did he do? We'll hurt him. Badly. Just say the word!"

"It was a mutual thing." She shrugged them off. "It's fine-really."

Rose then emerged, looking a good deal more cheerful, dressed prettily in a white blouse and pink skirt. Lilly gave her a reprimanding look, and Rose tilted her head to the side in confusion. "What's the problem Lil?"

"The problem..." She seethed, narrowing her eyes. "Is that I didn't know where you were. I thought you had been kidnapped or something- I rung everyone- these two were running around town searching for you- and you were just at church the whole freaking time?"

"I used to go every week." Rose looked away abashedly. "I didn't think it'd be a problem- I just haven't been for a while and I saw the benefits- I should have left a note in hindsight- er... Sorry?"

"What did you talk to the Pastor about?" Haruhi cut through before Lilly could reply, leaving her to collapse to the floor in disbelief.

"Eh, just wondering if I could see him privately at some point." Scrunching her nose in a dismissal, she smiled. "Nothing much."

"Why?" Hikaru pressed, raising an eyebrow. "How well do you even know him?" Rose flared up, glaring at him.

"It's not always about that." She snapped. "Sometimes, you go and see your pastor when you're in need of spiritual support."

"Oh, seriously Rose?" Lilly deadpanned. "Look, I know you're really into this stuff, but you don't need any 'Hallelujahs' when you raise a child."

"You think what you want." The Anglican sniffed. "I am coming back here on Wednesday evening, and there's nothing you can do to stop me."

"Well- I'd rather you didn't go out at night alone." The blonde retorted angrily. "So I'm going with you."

"No- it's a private thing." Rose bit back snippily, giving her sister a glare. "I'm eighteen; I can go out alone for one evening to see my pastor, surely."

"I don't want you to- I am your guardian, so no."

"Lilly, stop being so freaking difficult! I'm going and that's final."

"No, you're not!"

"You're not my mother Lilly!"

Lilly paused, looking at her younger sister with a small bubbling fury in her stomach.

"Is that who you'd listen to? Your mother? The one who never gave a damn, who practically used you for her own career?"

"While that may be the case, that doesn't mean you have the right to boss me around." Rose hissed, folding her arms and raising her chin defiantly. "I am an adult."

"Well you're acting like a spoilt child." Lilly retorted, turning away from her spitefully.

"She could go, really." Haruhi intervened at last, the fighting sisters silenced. "I live just around the corner, so you can come back to mine after school on Wednesday, and I'll walk you to and from the church, so nothing can happen. Alright?"

A small silence lingered afterwards.

"Fine." Lilly muttered, not pleased, before stalking away.

"Fine." Rose mimicked childishly, glaring at her sister's retreating figure. "Who does she think she is?"

"... Did that really just happen?" Kaoru suddenly asked, a drawn out shock on his face.

"I'm not sure. I think it did, but it was so unlikely, it..." Hikaru began, but noting the look on Rose's face he stopped.

"She's just so..." She balled her hands in and out of a fist. "Ergh!"

"... But siblings shouldn't fight..." the elder twin meekly added, and Kaoru nodded, brandishing the twin's linked hands eagerly into Rose's face. Glaring, she stormed away, muttering angry things under her breath and going in the general direction opposite to her house. "Where are you going?"

"Somewhere else" she replied, a touch of venom in her voice as her feet pounded angrily against the pathway leading to the streets.

"Well- are you sure you want to go alone?"

'Great' she internally spat 'now they're following me.'

"I'm not going to die if I go somewhere on my own for a while." Rose muttered bitterly, crossing her arms and turning to face her. "Can't I go on a walk without being followed?"

"Why do you want to be on your own?" Kaoru asked, frowning. She groaned in frustration, turning away and power walking down the streets, disappearing from view very quickly. A small pause lingered between the three remaining teens, looking rather forlorn.

"I don't get it..." Hikaru grunted, crossing his arms irritably as he leant against a wall. "Why would she want to be on her own if she's so scared of losing everyone?"

"Well everyone needs room to breathe" Haruhi sympathised. "I mean, she'll want to clear her head a bit, and that's hard to do when you're surrounded by people all the time. Lilly probably doesn't leave her alone – that's why they're so quick to fighting, because they're so tired of each other."

The twins stared at her.

"How are you so bad at telling how people feel about you?"
