Oh, and I'm making Caitlyn's dog a husky :)


The three brothers sat quietly, hugging each other as Mitchie, Mara and Caitlyn sat in front of them in the relatives' room.

Dee had long since went to follow up with the doctor who was tending to Brown. That was an hour ago.

The door quietly opened and a beautiful, slender, ginger-haired woman waltzed in, her arms immediately opening to engulf the boys.

"I'm here, now. Everything will be okay."

"Mrs Gray," Mitchie acknowledged. Caitlyn gave her a meek wave before looking down at her bracelets.

"Mitchie, Caitlyn, Mara." The older woman responded in kind. "It's lovely to see you, girls. Especially supporting my boys."

A teenage boy suddenly walked in, a sad smile on his features. "They're not your only boys."

"Felix!"

Nate got up to hug his brother tightly as Shane and Jason joined them. "Brothers' group hug," Jason smiled, making his brothers groan.

"The best kind," Shane replied, despite the annoyance.

"God, don't make me feel left out boys!" A thick Australian accent rang through in the air as Amelia Gray flicked her golden brown hair over her shoulders. "I'm your sister and I share the uncle who is in hospital too,"

"Who can forget you?" Nate mumbled, hugging his sister.

Amelia shook her head. "We're all back together. It feels like light years since I saw you and Jason."

"Life got different," Jason told her.

Their sister nodded. "It did, alright! I have a niece and a nephew which I never knew about! And a sister-in-law!"

"Amy, dear, I'm just as surprised as you are," Their mother said. "I did know about Brayden but Kelly and Wendy were another things, Jason! We had to learn about all of this from Brown."

"How is he, by the way?" Caitlyn cut into their family reunion.

Mrs Gray paled. "I just spoke with Dee; they've had to put him in an induced coma."

"It's our faults. For stressing him," Shane whispered, his eyes becoming watery.

Their mother shook her head. "No! You mustn't think such things, Shane! To be honest, Brownie has been quite ill for some time."

"Why didn't you tell us?" Felix asked.

"He loves you all as if you were his own so that automatically meant that he didn't want you guys to get hurt-"

"But we're hurting now!" Nate told her. "Do you know how scary it was to be the only one who knew what to do? Dee was crying her head off, Shane was too distracted and Jason wanted to leave the first minute he got there. It was scary, Mom, seeing him on the ground. We thought he was dead and now he might as well be as good as!"

A scoff broke them from the attention on Nate and they turned to the door.

"Nice to know you've put a price on our father's head." A thick British accent replied.

"Who the hell are you?" Shane asked rudely, causing Mitchie to place a hand on his shoulder. "What do you mean by 'our father'?"

Ethan stepped in fully, giving an attractive view to Mitchie, Mara, and Caitlyn. His sister, Ruby, soon followed after him.

"I'm Ethan, Ethan Cesario and this is my little sister, Ruby Cesario." He replied, emphasising 'Cesario'.

"Brown-Brown had children?" Caitlyn whispered.

Ruby nodded. "Yeah, he did and he still does. We live in England."

"You've never cared about him until now, you selfish brats!" Denise muttered darkly.

"Of course, we cared about him, Aunt Denise!" Ethan yelled. "He's our dad-"

"But you didn't want his camp. His legacy. You two left him and believed the horrible things that your mother told you guys about him."

"And we don't even know you..." Amelia added quietly.

Ruby sighed, rubbing her head. "It's not our fault that our father never told you guys about us."

"You're right, it's not," Jason said, calmly. "Us arguing now isn't going to help him get better. It's nice to meet you and we wish we had met you under better circumstances."

Ruby begrudging rolled her eyes at her cousin's words. "It's nice to meet you all too. And it's kind of nice to see you again, Aunty Denise."

Denise scoffed and walked out of the room, a sour look on her face.

"Don't mind our mother," Jason apologised. "Look, girls... You don't really have to be here."

Mara stood up. "But we want to."

Nate agreed with Jason. "I think we just need to be with our family for now."

Caitlyn raised an eyebrow but Mitchie placed a hand on her shoulder, pulling them both up. "Let's go, girls. They'll call when they need us."

"Thanks," Shane whispered to her. Mitchie simply nodded and gently pushed her friends out.

"Did they really have to go?" Amelia asked. "I was hoping to get to know your girlfriends better,"

"Mitchie's not my girlfriend."

Amelia grinned. "Okay, she's your ex-fiancée turned good friend?"

"We were never engaged, to begin with," Shane mumbled, scratching the back of his neck. "I bailed out, okay. That's why we're still walking around eggshells with each other."

"Why?" Felix asked.

Amelia sighed. "Because of me." She picked at the chipping varnish on her nails. "Shane dumped Mitchie on their anniversary, the day which was meant to be their happiest since he was going to propose to her, because of me. Jason probably left us for Vegas, because of me. Nate's probably the way he is now, because of me."

"No!" Her brothers yelled.

"Amelia, it wasn't your fault that you were sick! I made the decision to let Mitch go and I don't regret it. I still have a chance with her, it's not too late." Shane said, hugging her.

Amelia was already in tears as she looked towards the direction of her favourite brother.

"No, I left for my own selfish reasons which changed me. But Caity's got that covered." Nate smiled at her.

"And... After C3 disbanded, I left for Vegas because I was looking for something new and Wendy was that. Now we have a daughter that I never ever will regret having. She's like you in so many ways."

"Young, pretty?" Amelia joked.

"Definitely," Jason smiled. "Now, I think you deserve a big bear hug."

Amelia groaned. "I'm upset but not that - okay!" She cut herself off when Jason and the rest of her brothers squished her into a warm hug.

Ruby and Ethan watched on, jealousy setting onto their features. These siblings had a strong bond. One they didn't have themselves.

...

"Caitlyn! I walked Nella for you!"

Caitlyn turned and smiled at Brayden who, compared to her dog, was small. "Thank you, Brayden!"

"Do you know where my dad is? I've been looking for him for ages!"

Caitlyn giggled, ruffling his hair at his exaggeration. "He'll be back soon. How about I take Nella back and you go and play with the other JRs?"

"Okay!"

Brayden happily gave Caitlyn the lead and ran off, joining a group of his new friends. Caitlyn sighed and let Nella lead her to their cabin, meeting Mitchie inside.

"Hey, pretty lady," Caitlyn smiled.

Mitchie looked up from her song book with a smile. "Hiya, pretty woman!"

"Have you heard from the guys yet?"

Mitchie shook her head, standing up to stretch and yawn. "We're in charge for the day. I've got Mara co-ordinating and the gang taking up double classes."

Caitlyn nodded, setting up a food tray for Nella. "It's nearly dinner, we're going to have to get people in to eat in groups."

"Yeah, we're short staffed today... Brown forgot to get extra help and my mom asked too late. I'm heading over there to help."

"I'll join you."

When they got there, they saw Lola, Ella, Tess and Peggy already helping out Connie and two of her kitchen staff.

"Sorry, girls. We're running a bit far behind but Mara and Nat are co-ordinating groups of forty depending on classes."

"It's fine, Mama. It's just shocking that we've got over 120 students this year!"

Connie halted in washing the vegetables. "Any news, mija?"

"Not yet. I think they forgot their phones in the haste. But we'll hear soon." Mitchie replied, getting her and Caitlyn aprons.

"Where do you want us?"

Connie grinned. "Mitchie, Caitlyn, you are on dessert duty. We're having chocolate orange cake. I think either vanilla or chocolate custard would be fine."

The girls nodded, smiling at their friends as they got on with their work.

Thirty minutes later, Caitlyn felt arms wrap around her waist and jump.

"Smells good."

"Nate," she gasped, turning around to give him a quick kiss. "How's Brown? Where's Shane and Jason?"

Nate chuckled, dipping his finger in the chocolate frosting. "Jason's still at the hospital but Shane and I drove Ethan and Ruby here. Brown's going to be okay, he woke up an hour ago."

"Thank goodness," Mitchie smiled. "I'm going to see Shane,"

"Sure, leave me all alone to make dessert!" Caitlyn teased.

Mitchie rolled her eyes. "Nate, you're not an invalid, I think you can help your damsel in distress."

"While you search for your knight in shining armour?" Nate played along.

The brunette glared at him before blushing. "We're just-"

"Good friends!" Her friends teased her.

"Whatever!" She giggled, leaving the kitchen.

Caitlyn turned to face Nate. "Don't just stand there! Help!"
