Matthew stares at his phone as he rubs his eyes. Sitting up as he flips his covers up as he gets out of bed. Reaching into his bed stand for a pack of cigarettes. He really needed smoke even if it been a while. Looking at the picture on his bed, he smiles. It was a picture of a woman with long dark brown hair with light brown eyes that seem as if their were color of a oak tree. She was holding a bundle as she smile at camera, but if you were t look closer. You could notice there are tears in her eyes and there was sadness in her eyes.

Walking quietly to not wake up his 10 children as he creeps outside to make the call. He lights one as he waits, breathing in the cancer stick as he looks at the cold night sky. He smiles as he hears the other end click as his sister answers.

"Hermano, you shouldn't be smoking so late at night," Rosa sighs.

"I know, but I got Chapa mad. Anytime she's mad, it gets to me. Doesn't help she brought up her mother." Matthew sigh as he blows smoke out his nose.

"She's just like her mother hermano," Rosa laughs as she coughs.

"Having trouble?" Matthew sighs as his sister starts coughing. "Mexico, don't die till you see Alfred in a pink tutu dancing to 'I'm a Barbie Girl'."

"Bro that's not happening," Rosa laughs at the mental image of Alfred. "She told you the problem?"

"Yep...do you want to talk over the phone now, or want to come over?" Matthew rubs the bridge of his nose as he heard clipping sounds. Turning around, he was face to face with Kumajiro. Smiling as the bear sat beside him as he puts his cigar out.

"Hold on...this might hurt." Rosa became quiet as the phone went dead.

Closing his eyes as he sighing from the quietness. He lights another, but before he could take a puff. It was taken out as someone giggles.

"This one is mine, light your own." Matthew growl as he opens his eyes to Rosa. Her dark brown hair was braided as her brown eyes seem to glow in the little light from the moon. She was wearing a white T-shirt with dirty blue jeans with holes. She had no shoes on as she sat beside him. She shrugs as she takes a puff as she blows at a butterfly.

"I seen the way the others are treating him," Rosa glances at her brother's face as she frowns. "Why haven't you, or me stand for him?"

"Chapa could be lying to get attention," Matthew rubs his bear's head as he glares at the moon. "At the sameh time she wouldn't have gotten so piss off when I said I'll call you..."

Rosa smiles as he watches her brother groan in pain. She smirks as she takes another puff as Matthew tries to stable his breathe.

"Sorry, had to take the shortcut." Rosa pets Kumajiro. "Didn't want to cross Alfred's borders."

"Damn," Matthew breathes heavily as he glares at Rosa.

"Warn ya didn't I?" Rosa smirks as she laughs. "We should keep an eye on him to see if it's true."

"Yeah...next time let's meet in the middle." Matthew laughs at Rosa's horrified expression. "Want to bed here, or or you going to try to kill me?"

"I'll stay the night, but I don't want to found any of your biters at the foot of the bed glaring at me as if I'm a taco." Rosa smack him as he laughs. "I'm pretty sure Nova Scotia also took a chuck off of my arm last time."

"He was sleepwalking and hungry for Mexican food." Matthew puts his hands up as Rosa was about to struggle him. "Let's go inside now."

"Yeah...thanks again."

Alfre winces from the pain in his head a he sits up to his room full of empty bottles of beer. He looks at his arm to notice he cut his arm last night, as he stand up. Cursing as he heard 6 pairs of fleeting running down the steps. Leaping up quickly as he locks his door, as he turns to his own bedroom. He picks up the bottles and wipes the blood off the knife. Dragging himself into his bathroom as he took a shower.

Chpa listens as she heard water be turn on as she turns to Texas. He was flipping pancakes as he hums tune. She smiles as Alaska came down with her school uniform and her backpack ready for school.

" Anastasia, ho's picking you up today for school?" Texas turns off the stove as he smiles at his younger sister.

"Didn't know Blake," Anastasia smile as she its beside Chapa. "Where's everyone else?"

"The twins had already left this early in the morning, and Chatan is sleeping in since he got no school today and all of his work is down." Chapa smiles as she takes a bite of the pancakes. "I see you working on your secret recipe of Texan pancakes."

Texas smile as he nods, he was about to sit when there was a knock on the door. Wincing as he got up, he walks to the front door. He glares at the person at the door.

"What do you want Yukon?" Blake hiss at the tall boy.

"I'm here to pick up Alaska, Texas." Yukon looks at Texas before looking behind him. Seeing Alaska he bends down to call her over. "How's my favorite cousin?"

"Yukon!" Anastasia smiles as she jumps out of her seat to run to Yuk

Chapa freezes as she tops eating, turning to the door. She smiles sadly as she walks over to her half-brother. "Hey Atka."

He stops hugging Anastasia as he looks down to see Chapa. He smiles at her as he puts Alaska down. Stepping towards her as he raises his hand. She flinches as he puts it on her head as she close her eye.

"Little sis, don't be so afraid. I'm not like the others." Atka pull her into a hug as she cries. He rubs her back as he hums a lullaby from when they were younger. "I love you."

"I love...you too." She sniffs as she holds on to him as she cries.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MAKE MY SISTER CRY!"

Yeah...another update...what's with all this sibling cuddling...who knows...i hope you enjoy this.
