A/N:

I couldn't think of their mom's name.
So I sorta made one up.

(Ray's POV)
"Andrew you don't know how much this means to me. You know I'll send you a check every month they are there. Trust me this is killing me, but I am so sick of dealing with them." I said quietly, I almost didn't want the kids to hear what I said. More or less I didn't want to hear it either.
"Ray, it's seriously no problem. You really don't have to send the money you know. I make plenty of money at the ranch its okay." Andrew replied politely.
"No, no. I'm going to." I had to give this man money for watching my kids for a few months.
"Livia would never let you pay me you know." Andrew cracked a small joke and we both laughed. He was her brother, and she was my… deceased wife.
"I do know this, but Andrew I'd feel terrible not paying you. The kids are on the first flight out there. I'm pretty sure it's at four, Cali time. So they should be there around seven-thirty your time? You can get them right?" I said checking the time on Travelocity.
"You bet Ray! I'd be glad to pick the kids up. You get their tickets yet?" He asked. I was staring at the Travelocity site. My credit card in hand their tickets brought up. I punched in the numbers quickly and hit buy.
"Just bought them. I'll call you when we get to the air port, okay? And you call me when they get there." Looking at the screen in front of me, the realization was hitting, my two kids' were so much trouble I had to send them to their uncle's house for the rest of the semester.
"Yeah, and I'll call the school and get them all set up in the system. Don't worry too much Ray, they'll be okay out here. I promise." Andrew's voice was so calming. I miss this man more then anything.
"Thanks again." I said. He did a slight 'mhm' and we hung up. Wandering down the stairs I looked at all the kids in my living room. Kid's I just met and others I've known for years now. They weren't really kid's anymore. Young adults or teenagers, whatever you wanted to call them.
"Reggie. Otto. I'm sending you to live with your Uncle for the remainder or the school year, maybe longer if I choose." Everyone stared at me when I was finished with my sentence. I'm not exactly sure they believed what they heard.
"Uncle Bill? Oh, man that's cool he's only an hour from here!" Otto howled, he looked really excited and I really hated to ruin that for him. Bill was my brother, but not a good one. He was always in and out of jail, why would I send my kid's there. I haven't the slightest clue.
"No, Otto. Uncle Andrew." Reggie and Otto both looked at me like I was crazy.
"Livia's brother? The one in Colorado?!" Lars howled. I was actually surprised he remembered the man.
"The very same." I nodded slowly and looked at the rest of the group.
"ARE YOU KIDDING!? When!!?!?" Otto yelled at me. Reggie was sitting next to Lars her mouth a gape at me.
"Today, your flight leaves at four. You better get packing and your uncle has two jobs lined up for you there." I said and I left the living room. They didn't argue at all. I heard them walk up the stairs, all of them.
