So sorry! I have exams and projects to finish! Finished them but exams are in two weeks! Okay I'll tell you what has happened in the past weeks. I'm doing self-defense in one of my sport classes, my biology project is thirteen pages long and I am really confused in my English class. I have a movie to film in my media class on skateboarding, yay! I got asked out by two guys and it was very difficult because they were my friends from my sport class. Anyway that's just a brief summary of what has happened, there's more but I can't be bothered mentioning it. And Congratulations to Torri- Chiobie for being the hundredth reviewer!

"Why do I have to come over for dinner, I know it's your mother's birthday but…" Crystal stared at the door from inside the white car. She was fiddling with her engagement ring; her long blonde hair was pulled back in a French bun. She wore a blue blouse and black pants, Tyrone was besides her pulling the keys out of the ignition.

"They love you as much as I love you," Tyrone leaned over and pecked his fiancé on the lips, "now come on! Before the food gets cold!" Tyrone said opening the door. Crystal sighed and got out of the car. It had been two months since she found out about Mirage and Kai and she couldn't be anymore happier. She longed for her own family, especially when they died in a car crash. She no longer had an older brother or a mother or father, only her brother's wife and his two-year-old son.

"Don't worry," Tyrone whispered placing an arm around her waist, "if they don't love you I'm still going to marry you."

"Oh, thanks," the blonde woman scoffed, "I'm not going to be excepted in the family, just wonderful," she mumbled shaking her head. They walked up the porch and both knew that day was going to be hell…

Jo and Joe looked at the small box on the floor. Joe picked it up and smiled, "mummy never lets us play with fire," he said looking at his twin. Both the J twins had grown and both of them had black hair and grey eyes. They looked like Mirage even though Mirage wasn't really related to them. (Remember Mirage was adopted when she was a baby.)

Jo nodded her head and opened the box, taking out a little wooden stick, "it doesn't look like fire," she replied touching the top, "it's not hot."

"Where the hell did you get those?" Dan exclaimed taking the matches away, "you're to young to play with fire."

"We're five," Jo said, both the twins held up five fingers to prove it, "we're not young," they protested, "we can ride bikes."

"Well to me your still little babies, after all I am the third eldest."

"I thought Mai was," they both said looking at their older brother, "Mai's going to have a baby, Dan."

"Hey! Dan where do babies come from?" Jo asked excitedly.

"MUM!" Dan called getting up and running into the kitchen for help.

Keith loved his family a lot. All the things they did and all the fighting that usually occurred. Now that the older kids were adults fights rarely happened and that was what he mostly missed. He missed protecting the younger girl in the family but he passed that duty to Jack and he missed his witty fights with Mirage and Dan. Nowadays it was mostly playing soccer with the siblings or babysitting. The soccer season finished meaning he had a long holiday with his family. The only thing he could look forward to was getting married to his fiancé Alex.

"Hey what's wrong?" Alex asked slipping her arms around the black haired man's neck, "you look so sad." She pecked him on the lips and leaned back looking into his hazel eyes. Alex was a beautiful woman with wavy brown hair and dark brown eyes. She had creamy coloured skin and was almost as tall as Keith.

"Just thinking of the past," Keith replied looking down into her eyes, "how the family used to be before we grew up. Happy, having fun and laid back." Keith watched as Dan came running out of the study towards the kitchen yelling to their mother. "J and Joe must've asked the infamous 'birds and the bees' question," he mumbled, smiling slightly, "I remember explaining that to the others," he laughed softly, "Mai did it the best though, knew what to say straight away mostly because she used so many technical terms that it just bored everyone to death," he laughed. Alex smiled watching her fiancé reminiscing about the past, the happy laughing look in his eyes.

"I wish I had siblings to fight and get along with, to protect and teach and stuff," Alex said softly watching as Keith's mother walked into the room that Dan had run out of, "to have all that love and fun. I love your family so much, you had everything I ever wanted," Alex brushed her wavy hair out of her face and smiled.

"And soon you'll get what you want. A family," Keith hugged her tightly feeling her hands move to his face, "and so much love that you feel suffocated," he breathed in her sweet scent and smiled.

"It's more like puking," Liam muttered walking out of the lounge room rubbing his neck, "don't know how you can stand it."

"If your kids die some day would you feel anything?" Mirage walked down the stairs yawning her hair tousled from just waking up from her midday nap. Liam shook his head scrunching up his nose, while an unknown emotion flickered through his eyes, "you care," Mirage replied now rubbing her grey eyes. Her right hand was placed on her ever-growing stomach; after all she was four months pregnant. Being the fourth month the baby was moving but only a bit and she was told he could hear her voice. The baby was around seven inches long and weighed around five ounces, her first mood swing happened with Kai earlier that day and that was the whole reason she was sleeping.

She still went to work even though she lied to them about her pregnancy. Her eyes were red from the earlier crying she did and she hoped to god that her brothers informed Kai on the mood swings and how it wasn't his fault. She could barely remember what happened, only the words that escaped her lips 'you think I'm fat' she had cried. "How you're up, how are you feeling?" Alex asked looking up smiling.

"My back hurts," Mirage uttered grumpily looking at Keith, "what happened while I was gone?" she asked.

"Well technically you weren't gone…" Liam stepped back from the vicious glare from the twenty-two year old, "ok…"

"Well Kai's in the backyard with the rest," Keith replied saying 'the rest' as in Tala, Maria, Dash, Sayuki, Robby and Christina and their brothers and sisters, "they're playing soccer," he added. Mirage burst into tears for what felt like the tenth time that day, "geesus," Keith mumbled rolling his eyes and pulling the woman into his arms.

"I feel horrible for doing that to him," she cried hugging the black haired boys muscular body. Keith looked up looking for any way out and spotted Kai in the doorway. Kai opened his arms wide waiting for the twenty-four year old to pass his girlfriend to him, "I want to say sorry but what if he doesn't forgive me?"

Kai leaned down and rested his head on hers, "I forgive you," he said softly making the black haired girl look up quickly.

"Kai," she sobbed hugging the blue haired man's body tightly, "I'm so sorry," she mumbled into his shoulder, "I didn't mean to freak out." Kai patted her head lovingly. Ever since he found out about the baby he had been by her side, he felt as if the large house was his second home. He never seemed to leave. But he did love staying in the Oliveri household he got to hang out with the many children and learnt things that he left to his butlers as a kid.

"It's alright, I'll always be here to help you out," Kai smiled down at her and pecked her cheek, "now you better eat something," he said putting his arm around her shoulders and steering her into the kitchen.

Sorry not much in this I have really bad writers block. Not to mention I have exams in a few weeks. So any help would be really good. Anyway my school life isn't that interesting so don't worry about it.

The Swiss have an interesting army. Five hundred years without a war. Pretty impressive. Also pretty lucky for them. Ever see that little Swiss Army knife they have to fight with? Not much of a weapon there. Corkscrews, Bottle openers. 'Come on, buddy, let's go. You get past me, the guy in back of me, he's got a spoon. Back off. I've got the toe clippers right here.'
