Will they are won't they

Harry went out on a walk to get some time to himself when he heard a noise that caught his attention he then heard someone softly sush someone else the sound came from behind some thick bushes near the public playground so he headed towards the bushes. When he got to the bushes he was surprised at what he found.

"Don't be scared I am Harry who are you"

A young girl looked at Harry

"My name is Simone i am 8 and this is my 6 year old brother Maverick and 3 year old brother Jonah"

Harry looked at the three kids they were all dirty looked like they had been outside a while"

"What are u guys doing out here?"

Simone Hesitated trying to decide rather or not to trust Harry

"Well my brothers and i kinda ran away"

Harry looked Simone

"Ran away from why and why where are you parents"

Simone Hesitated again i guess she decided at that moment she could tell Harry there story

"My brothers and I don't have parents we are in the Foster care system"

Harry looked at the 3 kids

As Simone continued

"We have been in many different homes and they have always done all they could to keep us together. However the last time they sent me and Maverick to one home and Jonah to another fortunately neither situation worked out and we all ended up back together"

Simone passed it was clear it was hard for Simone to tell him there story.

"The thing is its hard to find someone who will take in 3 kids but its also hard to find someone who will take in a kid my age Maverick is also getting older too. However Jonah is still young enough that there are plenty of families that will take him in. See once you reach a certain age you typically become a Permanent child in the Foster care system without a home until you age out and turn 18"

Simone looked over at her brothers

"Maverick and I knew the likelihood hood of someone taking all three of us in and how unlikely it was for us to stay together and for Maverick and i to find a home. We also new the likelihood of Jonah finding a family that would take him in and us being separated so we ran away so that know one could separate us. We would rather be out hear alone but together then separated. We ran away so that we could stay together".

Harry looked at the kids then at simone

"Wow thats a lot"

Simone looked at her brothers

"Yeah its quite a story huh"

Harry looked over at the boys

"Yeah i guess so"

Harry said taking a minute to think and proses everything he had just heard

"Look my mom is a police Sargent she can help i can take u guys home with me any you can meet and talk to her"

The Girl looked at Harry

"No we can't go meet your mom and she can never know about this she will just send us back and we are not going back"

Harry looked at Simone

" but you're eight you're way too young to be out here by yourself taking care of your younger brothers"

Simone looked at Harry

"we have done ok so far and now we have you you can help us cant you"

Harry Drew deep breath and thought a moment

" Come on I have a special spot only I know about I go there Sometimes when I need to be alone you guys can stay there for a while"

Harry said

The 4 of them walked a while before arriving at Harrys spot

"It's beautiful here and a great view of the lake and vert Peaceful"

Simone said

"Yeah i know thats why i hang out here when i need to get away"

Harry said

"My Mom is great very supportive and my sister is great in every way and like like my mom and my sister My step father Bobby is always there always supportive and even when i get myself into trouble my parents well my mom and my step Dad my mom and Bobby are always there and always love and support me and forgive me no matter what i do but sometimes i need time to myself sometimes i just need to get away so i come here"

Simone smiled

"So you mom is a Sargent?"

Simone asked

"Yeah and Bobby is the captain of his own fire crew the 118 he and my Mom work together a lot thats how they met"

Harry said

"He is a great dad you know i have never told him that but he is and even though he is my step Dad i love him and i see him as my dad he is family and so is his team"

Simone nodded and looked at her brothers then at Harry

"Two years ago my parents went out on a date something they didn't get to do often anymore specially after Jonah was born they got a baby sitter to stay with us"

Simone posed

"I remember begging the babysitter to let me stay up and wait for mom and dad to get home. After a while she gave in and after tucking my brothers in came back downstairs to do some things while I waited in the living room eventually falling asleep on the couch"

Simone paused again

"The next morning when i woke up i knew something was wrong when the babysitter was still there i was to young to fully understand it all but i did know mom and dad never came home"

A tear rolled down Simones face as she continued

" i later found out that after i had fallen a sleep the Babysitter got a call. Mom and dad had been involved in a tragic accident they were rushed to the hospital my dad was air lifted to the hospital but despite every attempt possible they both died soon after arriving at the hospital"

Simone whipped her eyes

" The family my brothers and i had either didn't want to take us in couldn't take us in or felt like taking the 3 of us in was just to much for them so we were put into the States Custody"

Simone looked at me

"I already lost my parents I can't loos my brother too"

Simone said

"Is that a Cave"

Simone asked

"Yeah sorry I know its not ideal but i will bring you guys blankets food and some other supplies and do what i can to make it as comfortable as possible for you guys"

Simone smiled

"well I wasn't exactly expecting a mansion"

Simone said.

Harry smiled

"I have to go now but i will be back"

Harry then headed back home for the next several days Harry brought food water and other supplies out to the cave for Simone and her brothers. mean while everything else went on as usual Athena went to work ever morning Harry went to School and Bobby went to the firehouse as emergency's kept coming in and Bobby his ream and Athena kept going out to help people.

After school Harry went to the fire house and did some looking around when he stumbled Upon some old hard hats left over from an event Bobby did a long time ago with some kids he gave them all fire fighter hard hats Harry put 2 of them in his bag

"Hay Harry what are you doing"

Harry looked up suddenly he new he couldn't fake the hats without asking first

"Umm nothing just looking around"

He said as he turned around to see Bobby standing there hoping Bobby didn't see him put the hats in his bag.

"Ok i need to run an errand in a while would you like to join me"

Harry looked at Bobby

"no i mean yea i mean yeah i would but I can't i umm i have homework"

Bobby smiled

"Ok well if you would like you can do ur homework here and later we can run that errand"

Harry looked at Bobby

" I can't i mean the things I need to do my homework are at home"

Bobby smiled

"Well alright then i will see you later then"

Bobby said smiling

"Yeah see you later"

Harry said leaving the firehouse

Later that evening Bobby entered the house.

" hey May"

Bobby said walking home and giving his wife a kiss

"Where's Harry he asked"

Athena was cutting up some veggies getting dinner ready

"Oh he called me after school said he was gunna hang with a friend after school but that he will be home in time for dinner i am sure he will be home soon"

Athena said as she continued cutting the veggies

"Humm"

Bobby said his reaction catching Athena's attention enough for her to look up at him

"You look upset why do you look upset"

Bobby looked at Athena

"Ah no its just Harry came buy the station after school today and told me he couldn't run an errand with me because he was going home to do some homework"

Athena looked at Bobby

"Well I haven't seen him sense this morning have you May"

May looked up at them

"Umm no I haven't"

She said hesitantly not really wanting to get involved

"Hum well then that means he lied to me and i would really like to know why"

Bobby said

"I can understand that u should probably talk to him when he gets home"

Athena said returning to cutting veggies

"Yeah i could but i would prefer to wait hopfully his Conscience will get the better of him and he'll come to me"

Bobby said

"Thats a good idea"

Athena said smiling

Every day Harry took food and other things to Simone and her brothers And then came the day that May saw him stuffing things into his bag so May followed him as he left the house and jumped onto his Bike very surprised at what she saw! May thought about it a moment but she new what she had to do so she went home and told Athena and Bobby what she saw the next time Harry disappeared Athena and Bobby went out to the spot where May had said she's saw him and the kids. Of course Harry was there Bobby and Athena left the car a fairly short walk away from Harrys little hide out spot or at least a short walk as possible that was when Harry saw Bobby and Athena he said nothing and neither did they.

Athena and Bobby took the kids all back to the house and Athena got Simone and her brothers all cleaned up afterwards Harry filled Athena and Bobby in on everything telling them the whole story everything Simone had told him from them running away and why they ran away to what happened to their parents he didn't leave a single detail out everything and i mean everything Simone told Harry Harry told Athena and Bobby

"Mom pleas you can't send them back they will separate them knowone should ever be separated from there siblings ever its just not fair they only ran away so that they can stay together"

Athena looked over at Bobby

"Bobby please"

Harry pleaded. May sat down at the table.

Bobby and Athena looked at the three kids

"Harry why don't you take the 3 of them with you and show them your room"

Bobby said

Harry nodded

"Common i have some fun things we can do in my room"

Harry said as May stuck around still sitting at the table

When the kids were gone were gone Athena and Bobby looked at each other

"Ik what ur thinking Bobby"

Bobby smirked

"And I know what hr thinking Athena and i also know we are thinking the same thing"

Bobby said

"Are you sure about this Bobby its a huge responsibility maybe we should discuss it more"

Athena Smirked

" Yes we can discuss this more but is it worth the time you and i both know we will just come to the same decision and be in the same place we are now"

Bobby looked at Athena

"So we both really want to do this"

Athena smiled

"I guess so"

Athena said they both smiled at each other

"I have connections i can make some calls you know pole some strings and get them tap rarely placed here with us while we figure out all the details"

Athena said

Bobby smiled

"I love you Athena"

Athena smiled

"I love you too"

Right then they were interrupted as Jonah came running into the room.

"Well Hello there"

Athena said

"Hi"

Jonah said

Bobby looked over at Jonah

"Nice hat there buddy"

Bobby said

"Hat"

Jonah said with the cutest smile

"Yeah where did u get that hat son"

Bobby asked

"Harry"

Jonah said as Harry entered the room

"Jonah you were supposed to stay in my room with ur brother and sister"

Harry said

"May why don't you take Jonah and that lovely hat of his back to your Harrys room while i have a chat with your brother"

Bobby said

Harry looked at Bobby and Athena As May took Jonahs hand and headed of to Harrys room

"I think its time we have a talk have a set son"

Bobby said As Harry took a set at the table and so did Bobby

"So would you like to tell me where Jonah got that hat?"

Bobby asked Harry

"Umm well i found them at the fire house and figured after all they have been threw the boys could use something special so well I didn't think the fire house would miss the hats"

Bobby looked at Harry

"So you just took the hats without asking"

Harry looked at Bobby

"Well i just thought that you wouldn't care after all what exactly are u going to use them for"

Bobby nodded

"Umm Humm and whats ur excuse for lying to me the other day at the fire house about having to come home to do your homework because the stuff you needed to do your homework was at home"

Bobby asked

"Well ummm……"

Harry thought a moment

"i got nothin"

Bobby smirked

"Listen son I know you had good intentions when you took those hats but i also know that you know it was wrong for you to have taken them without asking"

Harry looked down At the ground

"Yeah i know"

Harry said

"So why did you do it?"

Bobby asked.

Harry looked up at Bobby

"Well what was I supposed to do I couldn't have asked you you didn't know about the kids yet so how was I supposed to ask you without telling you about the kids"

Bobby smirked again

"Well thats another thing here do you really think it was right for you to try and hide those kids sneaking things to them and not telling us"

Harry said nothing

Bobby sightly smirked once more

"You made a lot of mistakes here son"

Bobby said

"I know I'm sorry"

Harry said

"Ok well i will tell you what despite all the things you have done wrong here i know you had good intentions. I also know you know what you did was wrong l know you know right from wrong. So consider this your one time wrong if anything like this happens again you will be int trouble. That goes for lying too if you lie to me and or your mother again about anything i will ground you you understand"

Harry nodded

"Would you please go get the other kids your mom and i need to talk to all of you"

Before we new it Mom and Bobby had legally adopted Simone Maverick and jonah one day after school i took The kids all to the fire house as we all hung out with mom Bobby and Bobbys team. Bobby put jonahs fire fighter hat on his head lifted Him up and put him in the fire truck Jonah giggled as Bobby helped him turn on the siren and Jonah pretend he was driving the truck giggling the entire time.
