The teens went upstairs and saw a nursery. They stopped into see. They saw 3 children 2 girls and a boy who all look like they could be triplets. All 3 had brown hair, one of the girls were taller then the other 2 kids. The 2 smaller children went running up to them.
"Mommy!" The little girl called being the smallest one of all 3.
Kimberly smiled at the little girl, "Trini!" She said crying.
"Mommy, why are you crying?" The little boy asked.
Jason looked at his son standing there, just trying to accept all that he had seen that day. He then picked up the little boy. "Tommy, your mother and I are just happy to have you and your sister with us." He tried to explain to the 2-year-old.
Kevin and Jake, who held back at first, came in to meet their niece and nephew. In the room, still sitting at the table was another little girl. She was younger then the twins, but taller then them. This must be their new sister, the one they saw Alicia carrying in the viewing globe. Jake just smiled at the little girl; he didn't know what to say to his own sister, as he didn't even know her name.
"Jakey!" The little girl said running up to her brother.
Jake picked up the toddler and swung her around. Jake sent his brother a helpless look that said I don't even know her name. Jason picked up on his look and decided if he could get her name out of one of the twins.
"Tommy, what have you three been up to today?" Jason asked.
"Tri, Melly and I went to the park with Gramp and Nan." Little Tommy said.
Jake hears his sister's name, Melly. It could be short for Melanie. The teens put the kids downs and they went back to coloring. The teens left the room and went into the hall.
"Did you guys hear what little Tommy had said? Mom and dad took them to the park; we were supposed to have been at the park. They should have been able to see us and yet they didn't because we were not in the park, we were at the command center." Jason told the others.
"Okay, we stay quiet, until they bust us." Jake commented.
"Then what, do we continue to lie about being at the park, or do we lie and say we went some place else." Kim asked.
"Where else could we have gone? The Youth Center maybe." Kevin asked.
"Yeah, we were at the Youth Center and then we went to the park. If asked that is the story and we are sticking to it." Jake commanded them.
"So in the meantime, we don't admit anything." Jason said.
Everyone nodded.
"I tell you, after the day I had, I can't wait to climb into bed and go to sleep." Kimberly said yawning.
"Zordon said we will get used to this life. I just sure hope it is soon, because I am about ready to jump out of my skin here." Kevin said.
"Kev, why? We have known each other for all of our lives." Jason asked.
"True Jase, but we haven't really had the 3 years to get used to it. We were just thrown into this situation thanks to Rita." Kevin explained.
"We all agree with that, but the difference is that Jason and I didn't lose our parents. We just gained a brother and 3 sisters and of course the twins. I think we all need time to accept what Rita did to our lives." Jake admitted.
Jason nodded his head wondering what his relationship with his father had become over the past 3 years. They were still talking in the hall when Andy and Alicia came over to them.
"We were at the park, you guys weren't there. So I will only ask you this one time only. Where were you guys this afternoon and why, were you an hour late getting home." Andy asked.
"We started off at the Youth Center and then we went to the park. We did lose track of time." Jake was quick to admit.
Andy and Alicia didn't buy it and they decided to interrogate the kids separately. Andy took Jake and Kevin while Alicia took Jason and Kimberly. The kids stuck to the story and the adults were not convinced. It all had sounded too rehearsed, like that is what they were discussing in the hall. After each one had been interrogated, they were sent down to the living room sitting and wait. Andy and Alicia came into the room.
"We know that you guys are lying to us. The story you all told matched in every detail, which makes it an obvious lie." Alicia said.
The teens all looked at each other with wide eyes.
"Therefore, the 4 of you are grounded until you tell us the truth. How long you are grounded for depends on when you guys decide to tell us the truth about where you were this afternoon and why you were late." Andy said and then waited for the kids to start talking.
The kids sat there and still said nothing. Alicia and Andy sat there waiting; it became apparent that the kids were not going to talk.
"Alright then, go to your room." Andy ordered.
The teens got up and started to head to their rooms, when they realized they don't know which rooms belong to whom. They got lucky as to their names were on the doors. With so many rooms in one house and that all the rooms' look alike; it is easy to get lost.
Jason went into his room and lay down on his bed. Jake came into the room and saw how upset his brother was. Kimberly brought the twins into say goodnight to their father, before she puts them to bed.
"Trini, Tommy, say goodnight to your dad." Kimberly told them.
"Night Daddy!" The twins said and gave him a kiss.
"Kim, I will help you with them." Jason said getting up from the bed.
"No Jase. I will do it tonight. You have the rest of your life to put them to bed. You seem really upset and it is more then just the fact that we are in trouble." Kim said and then she left the room with the toddlers.
Jason looked at Jake who was staring him.
"Jake, I'm fine." Jason told his brother.
"No, your not. Kim is right; it is more then just getting grounded." Jake said.
"Did you see dad?" Jason asked.
"He was angry!"
"Jake, he wouldn't even look at me. He didn't even talk to me. He almost practically ignored me altogether. Will I ever get his trust back?" Jason said.
