What You Have

There was a knocking on the door of the Specialist's common room.

"Are the girls coming over?" Brandon asked as he walked up to get the door.

"Not that I am aware of and if they were, Bloom would have called me." Sky replied.

"Maybe they have come to surprise us." Helia shrugged.

"On a Tuesday? That doesn't seem logical." Timmy turned from his computer and pushed up his glasses.

Brandon placed his hand on the handle and opened the door to see a girl that looked unfamiliar.

"Um...Hello? May we help you?" Brandon asked the girl.

The girl looked to be their age and had long straight maroon hair and pale skin. She wore a bright yellow dress with white flowers and nude heels. On her wrist was a diamond encrusted watch and a white handbag to match. Whoever she was, she looked like a million bucks, or that she had a million bucks.

"I'm sorry to come by but I was looking for Riven. I was told he lived here." the girl replied with a broad smile on her face, revealing a perfectly straight and white set of teeth.

Riven perked up at his name and walked over to the door.

"And you are?" Riven asked sharply, leaning on the doorframe.

"Are you Riven?" the girl quipped back and crossed her arms.

"Yes, and you are?" Riven asked once again.

"I'm your sister."

"What?" Riven's face turned as white as a sheet and his face dropped.

"Can I come in?" the girl asked, the same smile as before returning to her face.

Once inside, the Specialists and the girl sat in the common room. Riven rubbed his hands in nervousness and the other Specialists awaited the story of how Riven came to have a sister.

"I guess I should begin." the girl started to say never dropping her smile, "My name is Sarah Jefferson and I am your twin sister. I grew up in a foster center without any knowledge of who I was or where I came from. Apparently we were together but I had no idea that you were my brother. It would make sense that none of us remember because I was only a year old when my parents adopted me. When I, we, turned eighteen, I wanted to know who I was and where I came from. The records were finally made available to me and I saw that I had a brother. I searched hospital and school records and that is how I found you." Sarah explained. "Oh Riven, I am so happy that I found you."

Sarah brightly smiled and leaned forward to embrace Riven in a warm hug.

"Unbelievable." Riven whispered.

Sarah pulled away, "I know, I couldn't believe it either. I am so happy that I have a biological brother. I mean, Josh was great but having a real-" Sarah was cut off by Riven.

"No, I mean I can't believe they didn't adopt me too." Riven sighed as he stood up from the couch.

Sarah looked up sadly and watched Riven walk into his room and slam the door.

"I thought that he would have been as excited as I was." Sarah lowered her head.

"Hey, don't feel bad. This is all a lot for Riven to handle. He grew up thinking that he didn't have a family and today, he does." Sky sat down next to Sarah and rubbed her back comfortingly.

"Yeah, and he grew up on his own. He came to Red Fountain to escape the foster system. Sarah, you have to understand that he had nobody until he came here. We were the closest people to family that he had. You had everything that he wanted." Brandon exclaimed.

Riven was in his and Helia's room laying on his bed and looking up at the ceiling, thinking about how different his life would have been if he was the one to be adopted instead of Sarah or if he would have been adopted with her.

Riven sighed as he closed his eyes and tried to relax until there came a knocking on his door.

"What?" Riven groaned. The door opened and Sarah was standing in the doorway.

"Can I come in?" she timidly asked.

"Yeah, I guess." Riven sat up in his bed. Sarah walked in and shut the door behind her.

"Riven, I am so sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have come here. Maybe you were better off knowing that I didn't exist. I just thought that you would have been as happy as I was to find out that you had a sibling, a twin even." Sarah gave a slight smile.

Riven sighed, "I'm not mad at you, I guess I am just, well, jealous. You had everything."

"I didn't have everything." Sarah chuckled.

"You had everything I didn't. You had a family." Riven's voice rose to almost a yell. Riven shot up from his bed. "I had to do everything, by myself, and you got to have parents and siblings, biological or not. I got nothing!"

"Look around you, Riven. You have a family. These guys love you like brothers and from what I have read about the famous Winx Club and Specialists, those girls love you too. They may not be biological but they are your family. I just ask is that you let me in too. It doesn't have to be today but I hope that in the future that you can make some room for your older by eight minutes sister." Sarah held onto Riven's hands and ended her plea with a small giggle.

Riven felt comforted by Sarah's words. He thought she must have gotten all of his positivity, but there was one thing that she didn't get all of and that was the capacity for love and understanding.

"Would you like to get dinner tonight, to you know, catch up?" Sarah looked up and smiled at her brother.

"Really?" Sarah beamed as she asked Riven.

"Yeah. I better tell Musa first." Riven chuckled.

"I would love that." Sarah replied before bringing Riven into a gentle hug.

Riven hesitantly placed his arms around Sarah, his sister, and melted in her embrace.
