" You have a little brother, Carlo who's eight and two little sisters, Amelia and Isabella they're thirteen and three years old."

I smiled at the thought of me having a younger sister. I always wanted one.
Belinda eyes widened as if she remembered something then opened her mouth to speak but never did.

A puff of blue smoke in the corner of the living room caught the four of us off guard.

Is this why she wanted us to leave so fast? Is the wizard council here to keep us apart?

Please don't. I just met my parents, I can't leave them now.

The smoke started going away, exposing a man with black hair flat on his head and those panda gray blue eyes.

I let out a sigh of relief. "Justin? Why are you here?"

He walked over and wrapped his arms around me. "Because you left. I figured you'd come find them. Listen Alex I did some snooping around the lair and it's too dangerous for you and your parents to be seen together for to long, any of you could easily die. I'll explain later. Let's go."

I nodded. "Bye mom, bye dad."
Mom hugged me once more then whispered in my ear, "Is he your boyfriend?"

I nodded. "Also my brother. Bye daddy." I hugged my father.

I didn't miss the look of shock that spread across my mother's face when she heard me say that Justin was my brother, but hey we're not really related now are we.

A baby's cry came from upstairs and both my parents said their goodbyes and left.

Justin, Harper and I held hands as Justin said a spell.

"Train that speed isn't fair take us now back home in our lair." A puff of smoke surrounded us as we traveled back home.

"What's so dangerous about my parents?" I asked Justin as I opened the fridge and pulled out a carton of juice.

"It's not your parents that are the dangerous ones. The ones who took you away are. Alex serves yourself a glass of juice instead of drinking straight form the carton."

I rolled my eyes but did what he said. "How are the wizard council dangerous?"

His eyebrows pulled together. "They're not the ones who took you away Alex. It was some other wizards, the papers didn't say but it wasn't the wizard council, they know who it is, I'm sure, but they must've lied about your death to protect them and yourself."

"Great," I mumbled. "Just what I need, to have my family and myself put in danger."

Justin stood up and wrapped his arms firmly around my waist. "No Alex, we're not positive on that but if you are then I will do everything in my will power and magic power to not let anything happen to you, you hear?"

I gave a small smile. "Thanks Justin."

He grinned back. " I love you, Alex."

"I love you too, Justin."

He leaned in slowly and kissed me passionately, but we broke off when 'mom' walked down the metal staircase, shouting, "Justin, Alex brake apart, remember our rules?"

I licked my lips in a little aggravation. "Yeah mom we remember." I took a long sip for my juice and carefully watched Justin look suspiciously at her.

'Mom' set down the clothes hamper on the sofa and began folding clothes. "Oh kids what do you two say about my ten cheeps enchilada surprise for dinner with triple chocolate fudge cake for dessert?"

Mmm sounds good.

"Sounds good mom." Justin and I said in unison then we burst out laughing.

"Ooh did I hear fudge cake?" 'Dad' said as he walked in the room.

'Mom' giggled. "Yes Jerry. I'm making my ten cheese enchilada surprise with triple chocolate fudge cake, sounds good right."

'Dad' made an odd growling noise that made me disgusted.

"Yes that sounds very delicious, much like you." They started kissing right in front of us and I could've sworn I saw some tongue.

"Oh gross you two. Go to your room and do that." I said while shielding my face in Justin's chest.

"I agree with Alex. There's a lot of things parents shouldn't do in front of their kids and that's one."

"Hey when's dinner I'm starved. Oh ewww, next time someone warn me when mom and dad are having a make out fest in the living room." Max said.

'Mom' pulled away. "You three are such babies. Ok fine then, everyone out of the kitchen while I start dinner." We all started walking. "Except for you Alex, I want to talk to you." 'Mom' added.

'Oh great what'd I do this time.'

I turned and walked behind the island toward my 'mom.' "Yeah what'd I do?"

She pulled me in for an unexpected hug. "I know you left to go visit your real parents and I just wanted to let you know that I'm okay with that but we have to talk about a couple of things first."
