"What do you mean Mike is your brother?"

"My dad had a girlfriend and when she told him she was pregnant, he left her. She had Mikey and that's when my dad raped my mom and she had me. So Mikey and me are brother and sister. Mikey then took me to see my dad's brother. He told me a lot about my father."

"Oh babygurl...I can see why you're upset. Everything is hitting you all at once isn't it?"

I nodded. He stroked my hair.

"We'll talk more in the morning, but right now you need some rest ok?"

"Okay...will you stay here til I fall asleep?"

"Of course"

I then fell instantly asleep and Jeff kissed my forehead. He got up and went into the living room where Dad and Matt were waiting. Jeff sat down on the couch and told them everything. Dad called the officer and told him everything and so the case was closed. Then he came back and sat down.

"Dad, Patience's birthday is tomorrow. What are we going to do?"

"The best thing to do is to keep her occupied and to make her happy." Gil said

"Okay...it's still early. So why don't you and Matt go to the store and get some gifts for her from all of us. Get some decorations and stuff like that. I'll stay here and make sure she sleeps ok." Jeff said

Matt and Dad thought it was a great idea and so Matt and Dad left for the store. Jeff peeked in and checked on me. I was still asleep. He walked to the TV and turned it on quietly. While he watched TV, I awoke and noticed Jeff wasn't near me. I grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around me while I walked into the living room. Jeff turned and looked at me.

"What's the matter?"

"I can't sleep without you by me" I pouted

"Come here babygurl"

I walked to the couch and Jeff laid down on his side. I then laid down next to him, while facing him. I made the blanket cover both of us. We starred at eachother for a while. I was trying to read his eyes. He looked sad so I wanted to make him feel better. I kissed him and he pulled me into a deeper kiss. I moaned as our tongues danced in each other's mouths. We pulled apart and smiled.

"Now go to sleep babygurl"

He stroked my hair as I closed my eyes.

"I love you Jeff," I whispered sleepily.

"I love you too. More then you will ever know."

I soon fell asleep and Jeff followed shortly after me. When Matt and Dad came home they were carrying tons of bags. They saw us and smiled. They hid the bags in Dad's room and then went sleep. It had been a long day for everyone. The next morning, I woke up. I looked at Jeff and he was still sleeping. I kissed his forehead and slowly got up. I was walking toward the bathroom when I heard soft music play in Matt's room. I opened the door and saw Matt lying down, reading a book while listening to music. He looked up at me and smiled.

"Hey sis...how are you?"

"I'm fine"

"What are you doing up so early?" He asked as he scooted over and patted the bed

"I couldn't sleep." I said lying down next to Matt.

"Are you tired?"

"No, not really"

"Do you want to play a game like the old days?" He said excitedly

"Sure, why not" I laughed

Matt hopped up and got out Twister.

"Matt you know I always kick your butt at this game"

"Nu-uh"

"Ya-uh"

"Prove it!"

"I will! So there" I said as I stuck out my tongue.

We started playing and I was winning. Matt wasn't as flexible as me. We were laughing while playing it. I guess Jeff and Dad heard me and they opened the door. Matt and I looked up as the door opened and Matt lost concentration and fell on me. We fell to the ground with a thud!

"Ow" I laughed

"Opps sorry"

Jeff and Dad were laughing at us.

"I told you I'd kick your butt at this game"

"Hey no fair. They were a distraction"

"You're making excused Matty"

He stuck out his tongue at me and I stuck out mine.

"Do you think you can get off me now?" I laughed

"No, I am comfortable"

"Jeffy pwweeaassee help me," I asked with puppy dog eyes and a pouty lip.

"Okay, get up off my girl" Jeff laughed

"Why don't you make me?" matt said

"I will. See I have Imagi-nation" "So...I have Mattitude"

"*Cough*Sucks*cough*"Jeff said

"Oh those are fighting words," Matt said getting up.

I broke them up and kissed Jeff.

"I'm going to go take a shower."

"Good, you stink" Matt laughed

"Look who's talking. You got a big whiff of yourself and you fell on top of me"

"Ooo.... she told you bro," Jeff laughed

"Oh shut up," Matt laughed

I grabbed my clothes and went into the bathroom. While I was in the bathroom, everyone else put up decorations and wrapped the gifts. Then they put the gifts on the dinning room table. I got dressed and did my hair, make-up, and teeth. I walked out of the bathroom and into the living room.

"Happy Birthday Patience" They all said

"I forgot it was my birthday. Awe...this is so sweet guys. Thank you," I said hugging them.

When I got to Jeff I kissed him.

"Happy birthday babygurl."

"Thank you Jeffy"

I opened the presents. I got a Mattitude shirt from Matt along with a stuffed tiger, my favorite furry animal. I got a quilt and the Crocodile Hunter movie, and from Jeff a journal and a dress. I thanked them all Gil went to take a shower in his bathroom and Jeff took a shower in the other bathroom. Matt already had a shower, so he walked TV. I picked up the phone and called Mikey. He asked if he could come over so we could talk and I said yes. He said he would be over in a few minutes. After a few minutes there was a knock on the door. Matt answered it and he saw Mikey and so did I. I ran to him and hugged him. I shut the front door as he stood out on the front porch. I lead him to the grass and he sat down while I laid my head in his lap.

"I got a present for you since its your birthday and all" Mikey smiled

"What is it?" I asked
