I'm seriously in love with this story. Thanks for the support so far you guys :)

Cass squinted her eyes after she was disturbed from her slumber. She could see Hiro in front of her in a short distance. He looked like he had woke up from a nightmare. Sleepy Cass let out a soft voice, "What do you want Hiro?"

"I'm scared, can I sleep here?" He asked with hopeful eyes.

"No, don't you have your brother next to you?" She tried to shoo him away.

"I don't want to be in the room. It scares me." Cass kept staring at the boy in disbelief. Is this for real? But she gave up and thought it wouldn't be that bad if she let him stay so can get back to sleep. It was only for one night right? "Ok kiddo." She scooted to the other side of the bed and patted on the spot next to her for Hiro to sleep on. He climbed onto the bed and laid on his side facing Cass. She was about to turn over so that she didn't have to see him but she was too tired. Before she could completely fall asleep she could hear the soft breathing coming from the little boy. It was cute in her opinion and it soothed her. After what seemed about half an hour later, she heard faint footsteps coming close to her and she already guessed who it was. She opened her eyes to see another young boy who was taller than Hiro. A nightmare too? Only this time, Tadashi looked worried. Cass didn't want to argue and she lifted her eyebrow still half asleep. "Let me guess, you're scared too."

Tadashi nodded slowly. "I don't like sleeping alone."

"Aren't you a little too old to be asking to sleep with someone?" She carefully moved Hiro so he could be in the middle of the bed. She thought that maybe it wasn't a good idea to leave a toddler sleeping on the edge of a bed. Tadashi got on to the bed and crawled his way next to Hiro. "I'm only 6." He whispered to his aunt. "Almost 7," Cass finally declared. On the bed now was Cass on the right, Hiro in the middle and Tadashi on the left. Hopefully now they can sleep peacefully. Well… at least the boys can. Cass was having a hard time getting used to the limited space she had. She hated being stiff and would have to wiggle slightly to get into a comfortable position so that she wouldn't disturbed the boys.

It was 3 am, and Hiro ended up on top of Cass's shoulder.

4 am, Tadashi ended up taking all the blankets covering himself as Hiro completely laid across his aunt upright, drooling.

5am, Hiro unconsciously slides off of her and back into the bed drooling on the sheets. Cass took the opportunity to grab her pillow and sleep on the floor.

6am, Hiro wakes up and climbs down to sleep next to her aunt sharing her pillow. 6:30 am, Tadashi joins the rest bringing down the blanket he was attached to.

By 7am Cass woke up and everyone got back into bed to spend another hour of a proper sleep.

Cass got out of bed at 8:30 and went into the kitchen to find something to eat. She took the time to be with herself and watch T.V. as she reads the mail. Tadashi was the first one up from bed. He seemed like was refreshed from his sleep and fully awake unlike Cass who was not a morning person and did not sleep well because of the kids. He invited himself to sit on the kitchen table across from his aunt and sat patiently. Cass could see the boy staring at her like he was thinking about something. "What?"

"I don't know." Tadashi replied. "What are we doing today?"

Cass kept going through her mail as she spoke, "Today, we are going to go visit the social services office to discuss some...legal stuff...and then we are going to go shopping to get you guys some stuff."

"Am I supposed to go to school?" Tadashi asked.

"I don't know, what month is it?"

"February."

"February huh. Were you already going to school?"

Tadashi shook his head. "Our foster mother didn't let us."

"Is Hiro supposed to be in school?"

Tadashi shrugged. "He can but he doesn't have too."

"Right." Cass processed. "Well, one kid at a time."

"Are we gonna eat?"

"Oh that's right! Kids need to eat too. We'll figure the school stuff later." Cass stood up and went back to the kitchen to fix up something for the kids. During that time Hiro dragged his feet into the room half asleep rubbing his eyes. He joined his brother on the table and did the exact same thing his brother did to Cass earlier. Stare at her. She turns around to see Hiro finding them both staring at her. Trying not to be weirded out, she went back to the stove.

Hiro was the first one to speak. "Cass. If you're our aunt why haven't we seen you before?"

She didn't expect him to ask that so early in the morning. How was she going to explain something like that to him? "I… wasn't around the family for about 4 years. Plus I was living pretty far away from where you guys used to live."

"Why?"

"I left the family because I didn't want to deal with anymore crap." She brought the boys some scrambled eggs and a half of toast for each one. She was on a budget.

"You said a swear." Hiro lightly pointed out digging into his food.

"No Hiro, crap isn't a swear." Tadashi told him.

"But wasn't there a word mom and dad were trying to stop saying?"

"You're thinking of shit." Cass nonchalantly said.

"Oh, right!" The boys eat their meal and listened to Cass continue her story. "I got tired of everyone in the family especially some people from your mom's side of the family for looking down on me and think that I'm such a delinquent. Your parents though loved me but it wasn't enough for me to want to stay, but it wasn't until last year your grandma and grandpa came to live here when they retired but I rarely visit them."

"Cass you said you left 4 years ago. Does that mean you've seen me before?" Come to think of it, Cass suddenly remembered showing up at Tadashi's birth. She was so excited to become an aunt. She was more excited than anyone in the room. Oh how she remembered when she held him the first night at the hospital, and how tried to teach him how to say her name, she remembered when Tadashi finally started to walk that she would encourage him to come walk towards her, and the one thing that she liked the most when she still lived with her parents was his smiles. He was such a happy baby, you could change his sobbing nature into a joyous one where his chocolate eyes light up when the smile spreads across his face. This was the same boy she had met a long time ago. Wow, this was really starting to hit her.

"I do Tadashi, but I don't think you remember."

"I don't think I remember either." Tadashi sadly remarked. Cass gave a half smile but she understood why it was her fault.

It was Hiro's turn to disturb the moment. "Geez, now you're special." Cass giggled at her nephew's sassy nature. She would've like to have seen him as a baby. "Do you have a job?"

"No I don't."

"How come?"

"No one wants to hire me."

"Why?"

"Eh, it's a long story."

Just as Hiro was about to open his mouth Tadashi brought in his own question. "If you could get a job what would it be?"

"Oh I don't know….but I've had this crazy idea that I could open up my own cafe, just to talk back at the bosses I had saying I could run a better business than they can because personally...they can't do it right."

"Well than why don't open one." Hiro suggested.

"Oh I don't think I could actually do it I mean...It's a lot of work and I don't want to be the one to handle so much pressure on not having it run successfully." Tadashi can tell Cass was disappointed in herself. It showed they she was used to failing and didn't want to face that again. The doorbell rings and Cass left her thoughts to go answer the door. She opens the door to find no one other than her boyfriend James. James was a tall slender well-toned man. He has a high contrast for his light tan skin and black hair and his cold eyes were brown. "Hey babe." He smirked. Cass scoffed and turned her back on him and went back into her living room. He followed her into the house finding a way to apologize to her. "Look, I am really sorry about that night. I tried to stop her but she kept going and I didn't want to be rude to her."

"Like I haven't heard that before! Try to come up with a better excuse! Besides I can't do anything today, I'm busy." She slammed the door to her room to change out of her night clothes.

"Busy?! What can you possibly do that will make you busy today?!" He was standing in the middle of the living room. Frustrated, he stormed over to the kitchen grab himself a drink not noticing the boys on the table. He goes through the fridge to get himself a can of beer she keeps for him when he comes over. He takes a sip of his drink and as he brought his can down that was when he noticed the boys. He felt awkward of course, he wasn't used to kids yet very fond of them. He managed to wave to them and smile but the boys still sat there like vegetables. "Hi." He said.

"Hi." The boys replied. After another few seconds of an awkward silence, Hiro spoke up bravely. "Are you our new dad?"

James couldn't take it anymore, who are these kids? "Honey!"

"What?" Cass came out of her room into the living room fixing her hair.

"Who are these?" He pointed at them nervously.

"They're my nephews. Hiro, Tadashi, this is James. James….this is Hiro and Tadashi." She introduced formally.

"Why are they here?"

"I'm just watching them temporarily until they can find a place to live."

"How long is temporarily?"

"To be honest…. I don't know. Tadashi can you come and help me, and Hiro please stay in your seat until you finish your food." Tadashi left the table follow his aunt into her room. Hiro and James were the only ones left alone so James decided to take seat on the table to make himself comfortable. Hiro looks up from his plate and looked over to James. "Can I ask you a few questions?"

Cass and Tadashi were in her room making the bed and she asked him a couple questions about important things the boys needed while they were going to stay here. She even told Tadashi that having James over was going to be a normal thing and that it would be better if they didn't bother him so much as he gets angry very easily.

Hiro asked his first question. "Where do you live?"

"In a city." James said straight out.

"Own a house?"

"Apartment."

"Own or rent?"

"Rent."

"What do you do for a living?"

"Lots of things."

"Where's your office?"

"I don't have one."

"How come?"

"I don't need one."

"Where's your wife?"

"I don't have one."

"How come?"

"It's a long story."

"Do you have kids?"

"No I don't."

"How come?"

"It's an even longer story."

"How's your income?"

"Decent."

"Do you have a warrant?"

"No."

"How long have you been with Cass?"

"2 years."

"Do you drink?"

"Yes."

"Smoke?"

"Sometimes."

"How's your sex life?"

"Do you always go crazy on questions?"

"I'm a kid, that's my job."

Cass and Tadashi walk but into the living room and Tadashi takes Hiro in Cass's room so they can get ready for the day. James walks up to Cass and gave her a kiss. "You sure to have some crazy kids."

"They aren't mine they're my brother's. Look how about I give you a call later and we'll meet up some other time, kay?"

"Cool with me." He kisses her again but this time it keeping going. They start to make out by the time Hiro and Tadashi walk back into the living room. "Okay we're…." Tadashi trailed off at the sight of something he believe was gross. The boys screamed and ran back into the Cass's room and slammed the door. Cass sighed and let go of her boyfriend. "Get out of here already."

It was only morning and Cass felt like it was too much happening already.

If you guys haven't noticed I actually took some references from the movie Uncle Buck like the sleeping scene and when Hiro asks the bunch of questions. Just thought I put that out there. Don't forget to leave a Review!
