A/N: Hello! I know, I've been gone for months and months, but I'm back now. I have like… 5 minutes to write, so this will be short. Sorry again that it took me so long to update!

Gar made it home and walked up the stairs. His parents had already gone to bed so he didn't have to worry about waking them. He checked in on Raven (who was sleeping peacefully) before going to bed.

In the morning, the first thing he did after getting out of bed was go to Raven's room. She was up, looking at the bruise on her arm.

"Hi," she mumbled sadly. He sat next to her on the bed and gave her a half-smile.
"How are you?" he asked, concerned. She shrugged, frowning.

"Better, I guess. Still bad."

He put a hand comfortingly on her shoulder.
"You know I'm here for you."

She nodded before getting up and walking to the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower," she called behind her, "Go ahead out, don't worry about me."

Sighing but now shooed away, Gar headed downstairs. His mother, who was setting the table while his father cooked breakfast, looked weirdly at him.

"You look like you haven't slept in days, Garfield! What's the matter? Why aren't you dressed? Have you taken a shower this morning? Are you running a fever?"

She scurried to him and felt his forehead.

"I'm fine, Mom!" he almost yelled as she smelled him as a "shower check". She backed off with a skeptical look. "It's just… Raven isn't feeling well and I'm kind of worried."

"Aw, isn't that sweet, Art?" Mrs. Logan asked of Gar's father, "Worried about Raven. Like a true brother!"

"Yeah," Gar said half-heartedly, "Like a brother."

Mrs. Logan smiled at him. "Speaking of Rae, by the way, we have a little surprise to tell you at breakfast!"

Gar sat down, taking a sip of the milk that his mother had sat out for him. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up to see his father.

"You really ought to get dressed, champ. I don't want your sisters to see you in just your boxers."

"Sisters?" Gar asked curiously.

"Oh! I mean sister and, er, Raven."

Gar raised an eyebrow but shrugged and went back to his milk. Katelyn and Jack walked in, yawning. Mr. Logan picked up Kate and swirled her around in the air. She giggled.
"Hi, Daddy."
He ruffled Jack's hair just as Raven walked into the room. She was dressed in a long sleeve shirt to cover the bruise but you could still see the hurt in her eyes. Her eyes lingered on Gar's for a moment before she sat down along with Mr. Logan and the twins. Mrs. Logan served the food before sitting down herself. She looked at her husband, to Raven, and then back at her husband, who nodded.

"Kids," he began, his voice shaking a little, "We've made a very important decision that is going to affect all of us very much. Raven, you know we said you could only stay for a little while."
Raven looked at the ground, aware of where this was going. Gar's eyes widened.
"However," Mr. Logan said with a smile, "We've decided to take this back. Rae, we're happy to say…" he reached over and grabbed Mrs. Logan's hand, "We're adopting you!"

Gar and Raven gasped in union before saying, "WHAT? NO!"

The parents, eyes wide, gaped at the two.

"What?" asked Gar's mother, "We thought you'd be delighted!"
Gar shook his head rapidly. "She cannot be my sister! That would make this so… wrong!"
"Make what so wrong?" asked Mrs. Logan, confused.

"Uhh…" Gar pulled at his collar, sweating a little and unaware how to explain his outburst away.

A/N: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Terrible chapter! But at least I updated, right? Please review or I'll pull a little "no-more-update" stunt again! If you do review, I'll try to update more often. By the way, I tried to upload this way before but the site wouldn't let me.
