Justin walked into the living room with his siblings right behind him; he tossed some wrapping paper off of the couch and sat down, with his sister on one side and brother on the other.

"Do you think they're married?" Paige asked.

"No, she calls him General" Justin said. "And she is way too young for him"

Paige smiled.

"I want to go home." Dylan wined.

"This is home." Paige and Justin replied simultaneously.

"No, I want to go to my real home." Dylan said.

"We can't! If we could I would already be there" Paige said. "I don't want to live with someone who doesn't speak to dad, and that doesn't want us!"

"You don't even know why he didn't talk to dad," Justin said.

"It doesn't matter!" Paige shouted.

"Keep it down, you don't want to have to live with grandma do you?"

"Ye- no" Paige said as she looked at her hands. "I'm cold"

"Me to" Dylan said.

"Well we've been out in the snow for twenty minutes, what do you expect?" Justin asked.

"Justin, why are you being so rude?" Paige asked.

"Because that's who I am," Justin replied.

Paige rolled her eyes, Justin hadn't acted liked himself since their parents died.

"Here you are" Jack said as he walked into the room holding to mugs of hot chocolate, Carter was behind him also holding mugs, one for her. Justin took a mug and passed it to Dylan, and then passed one Paige, she rolled her eyes but accepted it.

"So…" Jack started. He didn't really know what to say, their father just died, and their mother too, their father was also his brother, and they had never been close though…

"Are you going to finish your sentence?" Paige asked.

"So…" Jack said again.

Justin raised an eyebrow. "So?"

"When did Kevin…"?

"Die?" Justin asked as he looked down at Dylan. "A week ago"

"Look guys I'm sorry" Jack said as he looked at them helplessly.

"You know what? I don't care" Justin said. "Is there somewhere I can sleep? I'm sure Paige and Dylan are tired too"

Jack looked up at the clock it was ten pm. "Do you guys want something to eat first?" Jack asked. They all shook their heads. "You sure? I'm getting pizza"

"No, I'm on a diet" Paige said.

'Ding-dong' Jack stood up and left the room and returned a few minutes later holding 3 boxes of medium sized pizzas.

"5 for 5 deal?" Carter asked.

Jack smiled. "You know me well." Paige rolled her eyes again. "Will ya stop doing that? It's starting to annoy."

Paige sighed. "Can we go to bed somewhere or not?"

"Yeah" Jack replied.

"Where?" Justin and Paige asked.

"I have never seen any kids that wanted to go to bed as badly as you do" Carter said.

"Maybe we just want to get out of this room," Paige said.

Justin nudged her in the arm, and whispered. "Look who's being rude"

Paige wanted to slap him, she didn't know exactly why, and she would have slapped him if Dylan weren't in the room. They looked out for him, he was so scared; it wouldn't make him feel better about this mess if she slapped Justin.

"Ok, I have two spare bedrooms, one for Paige, and the other the boys will share" Jack said as he stood up.

"Fine" Justin said as he stood up, Dylan followed him, Paige stayed behind. Jack showed Justin and Dylan their room.

"Do you have any extra clothes?" Jack asked.

"Nope, nothing… but a couple boxes should be here in a couple days" Justin said as he shut the door on Jacks face.

Paige broke down as soon as Jack left the room. "Look ma'am, I'm sorry that I was so rude to ya, I-I uhh just haven't been myself since… I-" she broke off and started to sob. Carter rushed to her side and hugged her.

"It's ok, I'm sorry about your parents"

Paige looked up at her. "Thanks"

"By the way, I'm Sam ok?"

Paige nodded. "Ok"

"Paige?" Jack called from the top of the stairs.

Paige groaned and stood up, she wiped the tears from her eyes; she climbed up the stairs to Jack. He opened the door to a spare room, inside was a bed, nothing more, nothing less. "It's wonderful! My own room with white walls and only a bed! Just what I always wanted!" she said sarcastically. Then slammed the door behind her.

Jack walked down the stairs and sat next to Carter. "This night is getting better and better"

"Poor kids" Carter said as she looked over a Jack. "I'm sorry about your brother"

"I know... what just happened tonight? I'm a legal guardian of three kids?" Jack asked. "I don't think that's going to work out, I mean, I love my niece and nephews but..."

"You don't know if you could handle it" Carter finished for him.

"Yeah..." Jack said as he opened a box of pizza. "Still want some?"

"No, thanks I better be going" she said as she stood up. "Bye"

"Bye Carter!" he said. "What am I going to do?" he muttered.

He sat there staying at his pizza, wondering what he was going to do, he had work, and they couldn't know about it. He didn't even know how to raise three children, they needed to get enrolled with school, they needed someone to baby-sit them, they needed someone to cook for them, and he wasn't sure he was the man to do it.
