A/N: Hello readers, someone in the comments has inspired me to include possible wrestling stuff but since Hunter and Stephanie have normal jobs, I'm thinking about getting the girls in self defense classes and maybe some boxing or martial arts. So comment on if you think that should happen and I should include wrestling stuff or just leave with them being normal.

Chapter 10

"Are you still mad at me?" Charlotte asked as she sat down beside her sister on the bus ride home.

Sasha had yet to speak to her older sister since yesterday when she stormed off. Usually the girl would break and say something after a couple of minutes but even after she and Hunter talked to her she was still silently upset with her older sister. She couldn't explain it but she just felt sad everytime she looked at Charlotte, she kept seeing her birth momma saying terrible things to her. She would yell and scream at her for nothing and when she got upset her momma would call her a baby and say that she was worthless.

"Look about what I said….I didn't mean it" Charlotte got no answer to this, Sasha just looked at her with a blank expression then looked back out the window.

Sasha didn't want to talk to her sister, she didn't want to forgive either, she just wanted to be angry. She liked being angry, it was something she wasn't allowed to feel when she lived with her momma. If that woman ever even thought that Sasha was mad, even when she wasn't, Sasha would get cursed out and sent to her room. It wouldn't matter the time of day or night but she would get locked in the room for hours one time she was locked in her room for three days without any food or water all because she was mad that her mother didn't make it to her first kindergarten play. She wasn't allowed to feel angry, or overly excited or anything at all, but now with Stephanie and Hunter, she could feel anything she wanted, something they made very clear the first couple of weeks she came to live with them. Sasha had the right to be mad, they let her feel things and they never called her names or locked her away for it. They never made fun of her or treated her like she was anything less than their own daughter and she loved them for it.

Charlotte on the other hand, she made Sasha feel small and not just in height. Her older sister was always better at everything they did, she was the oldest and she got the most power and control over everything. She would get to pick what they did because she was older and even when she didn't Bayley did because she was the youngest in the family. Sasha never got anything when they were all together, so she preferred to be alone with Stephanie or Hunter and have them all to herself, that was the only way they could listen to her and respect her feelings. With her older sister though, Sasha couldn't explain her feelings toward her, she guessed she respected Charlotte, even though she sought out any chance to get on her nerves. It was more of the friendly competition that they had going on-something she loved to have-so it made their relationship weird. They had a constant mutual agreement of love and hate in a way, but it worked for them. Except for now.

"Look can you just say something...you've never been this quiet before and normally I would appreciate it but not when I know its cause of something I said. I should have never called you a baby, you're not. I...I was just mad." still nothing, Sasha wasn't giving in, Charlotte was right she had never managed to hold her silent treatment for very long as the girl had so many things to say. However this time she was dead set on holding this grudge, "Sasha...can't you just forgive me already. I said I was sorry"

"No you haven't..not once have you actually said the words I'm sorry" Sasha said, breaking her silence but she couldn't hold it in. Not once had Charlotte actually said that she was sorry, instead she danced around it by saying she didn't mean to call her a baby but Sasha wasn't buying it. She knew her older sister, she never felt sorry for anything she did, she did what she wanted and didn't care who it hurt. The only person she ever apologized to and meant it before was Bayley.

"Is that it...okay then I'm sorry"

"No you're not….and I don't want to hear it." Sasha snapped, stomping her foot slightly before she looked away and out the window

"Well how am I supposed to apologize if you won't take my 'I'm Sorry' then" Charlotte whisper shouted, obviously growing upset, she didn't understand why Sasha was being so...uptight about this, she said she was sorry and that she didn't mean to say she was a baby and she is still mad.

Sasha just shook her head, frustrated, for someone being so bright Charlotte was really stupid when it came to other people's feelings. Sasha stayed silent for the rest of the time until the bus pulled up at their stop. The two got off and walked down the street in silence, at least until Charlotte got an, stopped them at the top of the street, and spoke out.

"Look okay, I'm sorry I know I was wrong and I actually mean it..I want to make it up to you and I want us to be back to the way we were but you won't accept my apology...but get this. I'll race you" Sasha began to shake her head and walk off but Charlotte stopped her and began again, "Okay...just wait...please, if you beat me I'll do anything you ask, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll leave you alone...I'll..i'll even give you my desserts for a whole month. But, if I win...you have to stop being mad at me, or keep being mad at me...just talk to me at least."

Sasha looked her sister up and down once, then at the street to their house, it wasn't to far but far enough to make a good sprint for. She was faster than Charlotte after all, she had won their race yesterday, and the idea of getting extra dessert for a whole month sounded beyond tempting. So Sasha nodded and agreed to the race.

"Okay good, we'll start right her...first one to touch the door of the house wins" Charlotte said smiling at little as Sasha nodded and looked down the street, "Ready….set...go!"

Sasha took off running, surprising Charlotte at her speed. She was always faster than her younger sister, for god's sake her legs were like two times longer than Sasha's, there was no way she was going to let her beat her. Especially if it meant that her sister would talk to her again. She knew that there was no way her sister would stay mad at her fo the rest of the their lives but Charlotte loved having her sisters, they meant everything to her. They represented everything that she had lost in her family before, everything her father had taken away from her and anything that could get in the way of her relationship with her sisters was something she couldn't allow. The two's race was much faster than before, they were actually running for something important this time, their entire "sisterhood" relied on who won this match. By the time their house was approaching Charlotte was way ahead of Sasha and nearing the door but out of nowhere she say a flash of her little sister running beside her. The look on the little girl's face was one of pure concentration, it was completely red and her cheeks were puffed out as she wildly pumped her arms. It didn't take long before Sasha made it to the door first and pumped her fist up in the air in victory.

"Ha yes..I won...I knew it, I'm definitely faster than you" Sasha said to Charlotte who bent over on the front step trying to catch her breath.

Charlotte couldn't believe it, she should have won, she always held back in the other races, but this time, she gave it her all and she still lost. She should have been the one to win, now Sasha can stay mad at her forever and she has to give up her dessert.

"Yeah, you're faster than me and you can go on and stay mad at me for the rest of our lives and never talk to me again" Charlotte said with a sigh as she sat on the ground in disbelief. However a small hand in Charlotte's peripheral snapped her out of her thought causing her to look up and see Sasha standing above her holding her hand out for her.

"I'm not mad at you Charlotte...but I will take that dessert deal for a month" She said with a small smile

Charlotte took the hand and pulled herself up, slightly confused at her sister no longer being mad at her, "You're…..you're not mad at me anymore? Why not?"

Sasha smiled widely and laughed at her sister, "No..I guess not...just don't call me that word anymore. I don't like it...and besides, I get your dessert for a whole month now"

Charlotte shook her head but laughed back, "I'm sorry it won't happen again...and I don't think it's fair to have it for a whole month"

"Nope, you made the rules and we had a deal" Sasha smiled and went to open the door of the house but paused before saying, "I know you used to let me win...this time was for real though..so this win meant something, and now I can say I beat you fair and square."

Charlotte laughed after her younger sister as she entered the house, "Yeah you're the boss Sasha"

The two walked in laughing and talking but Sasha stop suddenly causing Charlotte to run into the back of her. There sitting in the living room was Hunter and Stephanie, cuddled up on the couch watching a UFC fight on the TV.

"Mommy!" Sasha said happily before throwing her bag at charlotte and running to sit between the couple, "I missed you"

Stephanie smiled at her daughter and hugged the small girl before looking back behind the couch to see Charlotte standing at the door still, "I missed both of you girls as well. Come here Char, come give me a hug"

Charlotte did as told and hugged her mother tightly before saying she was gonna head to the kitchen to get a drink to which Sasha asked for one as well before she went on into a long story about everything her mother had missed. Well not everything, she left out the part where their father forgot to get them to and from school and the argument she had with Charlotte and especially the part of the two girls that continually bully her and her sisters at school. However, despite all of that she still had much to tell about things she learned and the cool new show her and Hunter had begun watching together. Charlotte on the other hand was now watching out the window at their backyard where she saw a red headed girl pushing Bayley on the swings. The two seemed quite fond of each other as they were laughing and the girl seemed to smile at the youngest's wild stories and bright ideas. So it only took a second for Charlotte to realize that this must have been their new sister, Rebecca. She looked small, well not as small as Bayley but she was shorter than herself and looked as if she was almost just bone even though she was taller than Sasha. She wore big shades over her eyes in the sun, which was odd to Charlotte, especially since they managed to take up her whole face and she wore what looked like boy's clothes.

"Hey mom?" Charlotte called out, not taking her eyes off of the two outside, "Is that our new sister?"

There was a small shuffle and a groan, obviously from Sasha, before Stephanie stood behind her oldest and smiled as well at the scene outside, "Yes..that is Rebecca"

"She seems nice" Charlotte said smally before walking over to the fridge and grabbing a water bottle, "Bayley obviously likes her"

"Bayley likes everyone...that doesn't mean anything...she could be a witch for all we know" Sasha grumbled as she came in to the kitchen and glared at the girl through the glass of the back door.

"She's not a witch Sasha, and I expect both of you to be on your best behavior and welcome your new sister. It is gonna take some time for her to adjust to the new house, new family..-"

"New country" Hunter chimed in as he decided to join the family discussion in the kitchen, walking up and reaching over Charlotte to get a beer from the top shelf in the fridge, "Things were probably a lot different for her in Ireland, she might not have ever heard of things that you guys have had. But I want you girls to be welcoming..both of you.."

Charlotte nodded and took a seat at the island while Sasha pouted for a bit longer before reluctantly agreeing to be nice. She still didn't like the idea of having a new girl in the house, especially since she was the who had to share her room. Why couldn't Bayley share hers, the two of them were obviously having fun together, so why couldn't they share a room too. It wasn't fair. Sasha was the middle sister and even though Hunter and Stephanie were very busy, she never got looked over when it came to how she felt until now and it was all Rebecca's fault.

"I picked up some chinese, it's in the fridge so we can heat that up and have dinner if you girls are hungry" Hunter suggested before walking over to Stephanie and draping an arm over her shoulders, "And then we can watch a movie or something together"

Sasha and Charlotte both agreed and began helping their father take everything out of the fridge and get all of the food together, while Stephanie stepped outside and went to check on the two girls. When she was approaching she heard Bayley laughing wildly before she called out to her mother to look at how high she was going.

"Yes Bayley I see, your sisters just got home and we're heating up some food for dinner, so you two go ahead and wash your hands"

The two girls nodded at this, Bayley slightly upset that the two had to stop their fun, while Rebecca was more nervous at the fact that she was going to have to meet the infamous Charlotte and Sasha. She had heard nothing but good things about Charlotte, but Sasha...Bayley had told Rebecca that Sasha was who she would be sharing a room with and the girl wasn't very friendly. Rebecca had dealt with mean people her whole life and after being in the hospital she felt as if she wasn't afraid of being bullied or a target anymore. She was always targeted for being different and weird but she liked it, being weird, not the whole bullying thing, it was a part of who she was and Stephanie said that people will embrace that here, and they'll all get along. Eventually.

"Becky you coming?" Bayley asked tugging the old girl's hand, guiding her into the house behind their mother.

Once inside they were meet with laughing and the clashing of plates and silverware as Sasha and Charlotte set out plates and Hunter ran back and forth from the kitchen to the dining room with food and drinks in his arms. Sasha was joking with Charlotte and their dad as they got everything set up for dinner, laughing about how Hunter almost dropped the lo mein on his way in.

Once the two girls came back from the bathroom Bayley immediately ran into the dinning room and hugged Charlotte before she went into a long rant about her trip to Ireland, moving her hands wildly as she enthusiastically told the story, much like Sasha had to Stephanie when they had arrived. Rebecca on the other hand stood outside the dining room watching with a sad smile on her face, looking on at the three siblings interactions.

"It was so cool, everything in Ireland was so different, but everyone was really nice…" Bayley went on to Charlotte who smiled down at her sister as she placed the finally plate down on the table making sure to put another plate out for their new sister.

"That is great Bay, I'm glad you had fun" Charlotte said

"Yeah whatever, I still don't think it was fair that she got to go" Sasha pouted, taking her seat, "I'm the one who talks about travelling literally everyday of my life"

"Please, you complain about a lot of things everyday of your life, and I've never once heard you mention that you wanted to travel" Charlotte corrected taking a seat next to her

"That's because you never listen to me" She rolled her eyes while Bayley just laughed at the two and sat across from them next to the empty chair placed there for Rebecca.

They continued on joking and laughing, each sharing stories of what they had experienced throughout the week while Rebecca still stood on the outside looking in. Enjoying watching them interact as she had never remembered having an experience like that. The only thing she remembered of her childhood before the foster home was her mum kicking her and her brother out and then him dying in front of her, then of course the nights on the streets. So, no, she never had these normal family nights around the dinner table talking and laughing. It was strange to her and made her slightly nervous, not because she was worried about what to say or do but just because she didn't understand it.

"Oh hey Rebecca can you come here a minute?" Hunter asked noticing the young girl standing in the doorway, "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine, my ribs don't hurt and my eyes are better inside" Rebecca said rubbing the wrapping around her ribs through her shirt

"That's good but I meant how are you..really. You know this all might be a lot for you and we get it, so I just wanted to make sure you're okay"

"I'm fine...I've never had this before...I mean you all seem so, so normal"

"Eh, we can get pretty crazy here to, cause you know what they say…" Hunter paused allowing for the young girl to finish with the phrase, but she just stared confused, "You know...crazy is good"

She shook her head but this only caused Hunter to laugh before remembering, "I got those goggles for you"

"Ugh, didn't I say no to those things, how did you find them?" Stephanie said, rolling her eyes as she walked past her husband and Rebecca

"Yeah well finding stuff is like a game, and I'm the best at it. It's like I am the game" Hunter joked causing Stephanie to once again roll her eyes while Hunter reached in the top cabinet in the kitchen and pulled out a pair of goggles with a goldish tent and a black adjustable strap, "Here you go kiddo"

"Wow" was all Rebecca could say as she took a look at the goggles in awe

"I know right, they're cool aren't they?"

"Super cool" She smiled before taking off Stephanie's shades and place the goggles over her head, wearing them like a headband, "Thanks Hunter"

Hunter smiles, faltering only slightly at the fact that she didn't call him dad, but quickly got over it as he knew it would take some time. He place a hand on her shoulder and told it was no problem before sending her into the dining room to have a seat. Stephanie smiled at him as he walked over to where she stood in front of the sink wash her own hands and wrapped his arms around her waist, planting a kiss in the crook of her neck.

"That was very sweet of you. Even if I don't like those ugly things" She said, turning into him so they faced each other, "She's going to love you"

"Yeah..i'm not too worried about it, everyone loves me" He joked earning himself a playful slap from Stephanie.

"Well I know I do" She smiled before giving him a peck on the lips, "God I missed you"

"And I you, my Juliet" He said in a romantic tone but it only caused Stephanie to snort

"They both die at the end of that play"

"Play? I was talking about the movie"

"Either way they die at the end" Stephanie said confused

"Eh...maybe we're talking about different things then" Hunter laughed and Stephanie went to argue but changed her mind and laughed as well before the two went into the dining room to join their kids.
