Loveroffanfic- I'm glad you enjoyed Will showing Keegan what love is. I felt that it would be best to do a slight bit of fluff before the next few chapters.

Lizzie Lionheart- It has been a long time since I've updated. I knida feel bad, but New York called. If I had known I would of had internet there I would have brought my lap top with me. But the good news is that I was given a lot of time to think about where this story is going, or rather how it would get to where it is going. And you won't be the only on sad when this trilogy has ended. I've spent a year and a half working on it so I think I'll be pretty sad when I finish this.

LadyJadePeredhil- That last chapter was so sweet I almost went into a diabetic coma, but hey I can't have every chapter about putting one of the kids through hell. And don't worry Will is going to have a talk with his parents but sadly you're going to have to wait four chapters. I have to resolve things in this chapter, bring Bobby, Adam and Benny back and have Will hurt someone.

CHAPTER 30

WE ALL GOT SECRETS

November 21, 2010

12:01pm

Blue Cove, Delaware

Jamieson Manor

"We're here!" Will called entering the manor, the rest of the group from the summer home behind him. Jason and Jack where being held in their parents arms, Keegan hid behind Lex's legs.

"See that's what I love about you, you're always on time," Jamie said descending the steeps.

"Oh and here I thought it was my good looks and charm," Will mocked, echoing Jamie's words from earlier, as he kissed her. Morgan cleared her throat. Jamie raised a questioning eyebrow.

'Alley told every one about the ring,' Will told Jamie telepathically.

'Did you tell them that it's a promise ring and not an engagement ring?' Jamie asked.

'Nah, I'm having fun just watching them sweat,' Will replied.

"You're sick," Jamie said out loud.

"Tell us something we don't know,"Alley snickered. Will stuck out his tongue at his twin.

"Act your age William," Sam said entering the room.

"I don't think he can," Jake spoke. Will rolled his eyes. "William, you bring me my present?"

"Yeah," Will said tossing Jake a CD. "Have fun deciphering that."

"Hey you guys are here. Excellent," Greg said clasping his hands. Meanwhile the rest of the Black Files and Ethan made their way into the living room.

"So um can we make with the hugging?" Lissa asked.

"I think that's up to the boys," Jarod answered. "Jace, you feel like being touched?" Jaord asked the boy in his arms. Jason buried his face into his fathers' shoulder.

"Eh, guess that's a no," Marc said.

"They're still trying to cope, I guess it was a bit much to bring them around everyone. But they said they wanted to come," Morgan said, placing a kiss on the top of Jack's head. Jeremiah walked up to Morgan and Jarod who stood holding their youngest set of twins.

"Hey," Jeremiah said lightly touching Jack's cast. Jack flinched slightly, and Jeremiah briefly frowned. "We missed you guys, you know. It's good to have you home again." Jason and Jack nodded their heads, and Jeremiah smiled as he turned his attention to Pete. "Pete, you've grown."

"Thanks," Pete said shuffling his feet.

"You grow too big for hugs?" Jeremiah asked.

"N-No," Pete said.

"Good," Jeremiah said and pulled the younger boy into his arms. "We missed you like hell little brother."

"Missed you too," Pete said he soon found his self surrounded by the rest of the family who had yet to see him. He found himself being hugged, kissed, and having his hair ruffled as he was greeted.

"So, I hear we have a new edition to the family. Where is he?" Rachael asked, once everyone had finished greeting Pete. Keegan briefly peeked his head out from behind Lex's legs. He meet Rachael's grey eyes and ducked back behind Lex..

"Alley was right he is cute," Jamie said smiling.

"Of course she was right, Keegan is my brother after all," Mike said proudly. Rachael rolled her eyes.

"Good I hope he isn't as full as himself as you are," Terra commented.

"Don't worry he's not," Maddie informed her cousin. "Come her Keegan," Maddie said crouching down, Keegan walked over to his sister. "Key this is our family. Or part of it anyway."

Jake felt his breath catch. He knew that Keegan was a clone of Markus, but he hadn't really believed it, not until he saw Keegan. He was an exact copy of a six year old Mike. Keegan was what Markus would have looked like had he lived.

"Greg if you would please," Lex said nodding his head at Greg. The young Black File was well known for his gift of gab, and was the one who usualy was in charge of introductions. Greg cleared his throat.

"Hey little dude. I'm your cousin Greg. The guy next to me who looks a great deal like me, is my little brother Jeremiah, beside him is our sister Melissa -but we just call her Lissa-. The gray eyed gent who keeps staring at you is Jacob, next to him is his sister Rachael. Next we have Cassie, and her twin Marc. And your fraternal cousins Tobias, and Terra. You've already met my Dad, Sam. The guy next to my dad is our Uncle Ethan, he's Jake, Rach, Ad's, Logan, Kale and Kay's dad. Oh and you'll meet Adam, Logan Kale and Kay later. Well maybe not Adam, Uncle Ethan might kill him," Greg told the six year old.

"Gregory," Ethan warned.

"I joke, I joke," Greg said holding his hands out in front of him in a defensive gesture. "Um the guy with his arms wrapped around Alley is Jeff. And the girl Will has his arms wrapped around is..."

"Jamie," Keegan said softly. "Will showed you to me. He loves you."

"So he tells me," Jamie said.

"You make his palms sweaty and his tummy feel funny, and he can't think clearly when he's around you " Keegan continued. Will's face went red as the other children began to snicker.

"Excuse me while I go and smother myself with a pillow," Will said burring his face into Jamie's shoulder.

"Did I say something wrong?" Keegan asked Maddie.

"No baby," Maddie said trying to keep a strait face. "You just embarrassed Will a bit. Not that he isn't used to it."

"What is this pick on Will day," Will muttered under his breath.

"You didn't get the memo?" Aaron dead panned.

"So Key the way we hear it you've got a bit of power. Care to show us what you can do? Feel free to send Will flying across the room again," Jeff said.

"Ha, ha," Will said dryly.

"You were at the Centre too," Keegan spoke softly as he stared into Jeff's eyes. "You were... they let you leave her for assignments. Only you never her, you begged never her. She never knew and after each time you forgot. But when you escaped the drug they gave you wore off. You were an..."

"Keegan stop," Mike said softly placing a hand on the boy's shoulder. Jeff had grown quite pale and he was trembling, Jamie stared at her twin.

"Jeff?" Jamie said.

"I'll be back," Jeff said letting go of Alley and leaving the room, he quickly walked up the stairs and into the bathroom.

"Did I embarrass him too?" Keegan asked looking up at Mike.

"No sweetie," Maddie told her brother.

"Keegan can you show me what you saw," Will asked. Keegan nodded his head and placed his hands on either side of Will's face. Will and Keegan closed their eyes as Keegan showed Will, Jeff's secret.

"Oh my God," Will said his jaw dropping as Keegan removed his hands.

"Will what is it? What did you see?" Jamie asked.

"Jamie did you know that Jeff left the Centre?" Will asked her.

"What? No Jeff never left we barely spent more than two hours apart," Jamie said. Will shook his head.

"They made you forget. He would leave on missions once a month. It started when the two of you were eight. Jamie you and Jeff were the other half of project Phoenix. The other half of Alley and I, the two of you were constantly being compared to the two of us," Will told her.

"Will you aren't making any sense," Jamie said. "Jeff and I didn't even know about you and Alley until after the Centre fell."

"I know but our Projects were intertwined. Sometimes Alley and I were the control other times you and Jeff were. You and Jeff got to stay together, when they split Alley and I up. They started Jeff on his assignments, his project when he was eight, with me they were going to wait until I was fifteen. And then they were going to combine all four of us. They were going to bring Alley back," Will said.

"Will how do you know all of this?" Alley asked.

"Jeff knew he knew it all," Will said as he looked towards the stairs.

"I need to talk to him," Jamie said.

"No," Will said grabbing her by the arm. "You don't know everything yet. Let me talk to him. Keegan I need to you do me a favor," Will said turning back to the young clone.

"I'll do it," Keegan replied.

"I didn't even tell you yet," Will said and found himself smiling despite everything.

"You did here," Keegan said tapping his temple. He then reached for Jamie and Alley's hand. "Come with me," He told them softly. Keegan led Jamie and Alley out to the enclosed porch as Will went to check on Jeff.

"Jeff, open up it's me," Will said knocking on the bathroom door. He could hear Jeff retching on the other side of the door.

"Go away," Jeff said weakly.

"Alley didn't tell you everything about me did she?" Will asked softly.

"She told me you were stubborn," Jeff said unlocking the door. Will took a look at the younger boy and saw that Jeff was a bit green.

"She's one to talk," Will muttered entering the bathroom closing the door behind him. Will sat down on the edge of the claw foot bathtub. Jeff sat on the floor leaning his head against the tile wall, his eyes closed.

"You know don't you? What I did? What I am? You gonna tell me you don't want me around your sister?" Jeff asked.

"If I did that would make me a hypocrite," Will replied. Jeff stared at Will.

"I-I don't understand," Jeff said.

"I was right. Alley didn't tell you everything about me. I have blood on my hands Jeff. I killed three men when I was seven, after they took Alley from me. I was angry and lost control. I..."

"That's nothing compared to what they made me do!" Jeff yelled clenching his fist at his sides as he looked down at the floor, his dark blonde hair hiding his face. "They made me start when I was eight. One a month for five years. Sixty people Will. People who had families. Some were innocent, others...they, Raines and the devil were poker buddies. I can still see their faces when they realized that some eight year old boy was going to kill them."

"Raines, he gave me choice, either I would do it or Jaime. It was an easy choice. There was no way I was going to let Jamie do that. I didn't want for her to be a killer. I didn't want for her to be me. The things we do for the ones we love. What's that line from Buffy you always quote? 'Why does a man do what he mustn't for the ones he loves,'" Jeff said tears falling down his face

"Something like that," Will replied wincing slightly at the fact Jeff had changed the words around a bit. All the while Will was thinking 'It's, "Why does a man do what he mustn't? For her, to be hers." Not the other way around.'

"Keegan's telling them Jeff. He's telling Jamie and Alley everything. Down to the fact that the Centre created you and Jamie for Alley and me."

"No! You can't. They won't understand. They..."

"They will still love you Jeff. I told Jamie this morning about those men I killed. You know what she said to me?" Will asked. Jeff shook his head.

"Her exact words were 'I love you, okay. What you did, who you were then, that was a lifetime ago. We all did things when we lived at the Centre that we weren't proud of. But we did it to survive. What you did back then doesn't matter to me'. You are her brother Jeff, she is going to love you no matter what. And Alley will too. Her whole life she's never loved anyone as much as you." Will told the other pretender. Jeff hung his head.

"I want to marry her someday," Jeff whispered a while later.

"I know. I plan on marrying your sister," Will replied. "My parents are freaking out about that. It's kinda funny."

"How am I going to face them?" Jeff asked. "How are they going to look at me."

"With love. What you did you did for Jamie, you said so yourself." Will told Jeff

"My Mom and Dad don't know either. I guess I'm going to have to tell them huh?"

"When did you start to remember?" Will asked.

"About a year after Jamie and I got out. It all came back to me," Jeff answered.

"You ran away that year. It scared everyone, Jamie especially, she thought the Centre had recaptured you. You were gone for a full month," Will said.

"Yeah. I-I tried to kill myself," Jeff said softly.

"The scars on your wrist?" Will asked. He had never questioned Jeff about the scars. Will had only glimpsed at them from time to time. Normally Jeff wore long sleeve shirt's and leather bracelets to cover his wrist.

"Yeah," Jeff replied as he subconsciously pulled the sleeves of his shirt down.

"Glad you didn't." Will said "Jamie know?"

"No. But Sydney does," Jeff said meeting Will's eyes for the first time since Will entered the bathroom. "I told him everything."

"Jamie's going to kill you," Will stated.

"I know. Hell of a week uh?" Jeff asked.

"Bro, it's just beginning. You coming with me downstairs?" Will asked as he stood up.

"Guess. I need to brush my teeth first. My breath smells like vomit," Jeff stated.

"Glad I'm not the one kissing you," Will said as he left the bathroom.
