I slept beside Murphy that night. It only seemed right, but when I woke in the morning I opened my eyes to see Connor's face in mine. I jump in surprise. I'm still in Murphy's arms, I can feel his breath against my hair. I grin excitedly and jump up and start shaking the boys not to gently.

"Wake up! Wake up!" I shout excitedly.

"What?" the boys ask simultaneously and sit up

"Work!" I say and jump up.

I almost fall back down at the noticeable twinge in my lower region. I ignore it and dive into the shower and when I get out the boys are sitting on the edge of the mattress and rubbing their eyes. Totally passed being embarrassed naked around them I get changed into my work clothes. I do my hair and face in front of the cracked mirror. When I turn I see one the boys have poured cereal and coffee for us.

"This is so exciting. I've never had a job before. I've done a few lectures and interned and stuff but not a real proper job!"

The day went great! My job is in HR, managing the employees, sorting pay check, filing incident records, sick days ect. The weeks pass by quickly and I almost forgot about having a family. The boys, my boys, and I are having a great time, drinking at McGinty's and getting to know their friends really well, especially their best friend, Rocco. They keep trying to get me to go to church. I refuse. Today is St Patrick's Day and the whole neighbourhood turned green overnight.

"Please, come ta church with us, love. Just for today" Connor says as we get ready for work.

I sigh impatiently "I'm not religious"

"It's Saint Paddy's Day!" Murphy protests.

"Not my patron Saint" I tell them "Talk to me on St Andrew's Day"

I'm tackled against the wall. I gasp and look up at Murphy who is looking at me with a smirk "Just once" He digs his thigh into my crotch

I twitch a little "Fine!" I push him "Now get off me!"

We walk to the church and I look up at it. I flinch, I'll probably be struck by lightning before I touch the door. Technically I am Catholic. I was baptised Catholic, I had my first holy communion, that creepy thing where they make seven year olds dress like brides. I never actually went to church other than when my gran used to drag me there when I was a kid. Connor grips my elbow and half drags me up the steps.

"You'll be fine, darlin'" He says

He pushes the door open and pushes me into a pew. I sit as rigid as a board as the service starts. The boys pay little to no attention to the service and spend their time praying on their knees. They are so cute. The priest stops talking and another takes his place.

"Thank you Father Macklepenny, for coming all the way across town to be our guest speaker today. I hope you found our little parish to your liking." The older priest says.

Suddenly the boys stand. Connor touches my arm and I stand with him and they usher me out the pew. I look around confused as the others in the aisle part ways like it is a regular occurrence. My eyes flick to a little girl who stare at the two brothers in awe. Huh?

Connor places me at the door and says "Wait here"

I nod and watch them walk straight towards the alter. What are they doing? I tune out of the sermon as I watch them. They kneel in front of the Jesus statue and pray. They kiss the statues feet and walk back towards me.

The priest's words grab my attention "and I am reminded on this holy day of the sad story of Kitty Geneviese. This poor soul cried out time and time again for help but no person answered her calls. Though many saw, not one so much as called the police. Her assailant wiped the bloody knife off on her lifeless little body. They watched as he simply walked away. Nobody wanted to get involved. Nobody wanted to take a stand... We must fear evil men and deal with them accordingly but what we must truly guard against, what we must fear most is the indifference of good men."

His words hit me deep. It's almost as if I was meant to come here today. Murphy whispers something in my ear but I don't pay attention. I can see the priest stare at me and his head bows just a little. My father is one of those men he speaks of… and he's right. I'm dragged out the church.

"You alright, Rhi?" Murphy asks

I look up at him "Eh? Aye. I'm fine!"

He frowns "No, you're not" He says gently

"He's right, what that priest said, it's true. People like that man he was talking about, justice never comes to them. Especially if they are like my father. A slap on the wrist and they're on their way to do it again" I look up at Murphy feeling angry "How is that fair?"

He shakes his head and holds me to his chest "It's not"

"I do believe the Monsignor finally got a point." Connor says as he lights two cigarettes in his mouth and hands one to me.

Murphy lets go of my shoulders and lights his own and says "Aye"

I take a draw of the cigarette and says "Let's get out of here. I don't like gettin' all spiritually touched. Creeps me out"

They both laugh and follow me down the street. We head to work and I accept a kiss from each brother before heading to the Admin office.

"Mornin'" I say to my colleague, Darcy, with a big grin.

"Oh thank God you're here Catriona." Darcy says, her Irish accent thick, and stands up, grabbing a folder as she goes. "We have a new employee and I'm swamped here."

I take the folder with a smirk "And you want me to fill it out and get them to sign it"

She kisses my cheek "You're an Angel sent to me by the Lord himself"

I shake my head and sit at my desk "I'm already doin' it ye don' have to convince me anymore"

Darcy is an older woman, well older than me, late thirties. Her hair is ginger, her eyes are green. She's pretty. She smiles at me "No one gave ya anything for nothing did they?"

I look up from the paper in front of me in shock "What? How could ye possibly know that?"

"It's the shock in the face ya have when ya get a compliment" She replies

"My daddy brought me up to no take nothing for nothing, I tended to try not to listen to my dad though" I reply with a grin

"You live with Connor and Murphy MacManus don't ya?" She asks

I nod.

"They gave you nothing for nothing" She says.

I smirk and give her a wink "Not nothin'"

She laughs loudly and shakes her head as we continue to work.
