A/n: I posted this 2 months ago on Ao3 July 26th,2023 but I'm keeping the exact same authors notes!

There is a lot to get through here so let's talk.

This AU is based on a thought I had of how even more powerful the Roy dynasty could be if hey all got along. Therefore Logan isn't an Asshole to his kids.

Anyway I kinda got a little lazy at the end sorry.

I kinda aged the kids down a little sorry and we are going to pretend we can't do math and the fact that Logan would ahve been really old when he had them (like 50's).

The next work in the series should be out soon, I'm about half way written through it.

There will be prequels in this series about Roy Childhood moments that it references in some of the stories.

My goal is to post something to the series every two weeks. That might not seem like a lot but with school and my procrastination it's a miracle. Therefore hope you all enjoy this! And I'll talk to you guys in the end notes.

KENDALL IS NOT THE FATHER TO RAVA'S CHILDREN! They were good friends as kids and he is the godfather. Just wanted to clear that up.

Kendall's alarm blarred through the bedroom. Waking Kendall out of his deep sleep but also by default waking Stewy up.

"Turn it off." Stewy groaned moving his face from being pressed into the back of Kendall's neck to on his other side covering his ears with a pillow.

Kendall's hand blindly reaches out to turn off the alarm then it's queit in the room.

"You need to get up and go to work." Stewy says tiredly pointing out the obvious after a couple of seconds in the basically dark room. The black out curtains make it almost pitch black except for the the red numbers on the alarm clock.

"Are you going to come with me?" Kendall asks rolling over to face Stewy.

"If you didn't wake me up so violently then yeah I would."

Kendall rolled his eyes, "Don't be so dramatic."

"That's my middle name." Stewy mumbled into his pillow.

"I know." Kendall says sitting up a turning the lamp on.

Stewy groans agian at the light in the previous dark room. Kendall chuckles even through he also squints, his eyes trying to ajust to the light. Kendall places a kiss to his boyfriend's neck before rolling over and standing up.

"You sure you don't want to get up to join me in the shower?" Kendall asks as he goes through his closet to get out clothes.

"That offer is very tempting Ken but I'm still pissed about being woken up so early on my day off." Stewy says.

"Don't act like you're alarms don't wake me up at even earlier hours." Kendall says and even though Stewy can't see him he knows he rolled his eyes.

"You sleep like the dead." Stewy says rolling over to face Kendall "It's me getting out of bed that wakes you up."

"I still wake up." Kendall points out. He points a now empty hanger at him.

"Yeah but like softly not to fucking siren type shit." Stewy retorts.

Kendall just rolls his eyes, chuckles, and lays his clothes on the bed before going into the bathroom.

Kendall is in the Shower for thrity minutes. No wonder he has to wake up so fucking early , Stewy thinks. There was no way he could go back to sleep but Kendall made him think he could probably get up and make a whole fucking buffay of breakfast before he came out of the god damn bathroom.

Finally after almost 45 minutes, Kendall walks out of the bathroom with black slacks and no shirt considering his dress clothes were laying at the end of the bed.

"No wonder you have to get up so early you take fucking forever," Stewy tells him but he doesn't look at Kendall's face he focuses on Kendall's shirtless chest.

Kendall rolls his eyes slipping his arms in his white button down shirt as he replies, "Excuse me Mr. Takes a whole fucking hour to work on his fucking hair."

"Hey my hair looks great and fucking awesome not my fault you take forever and have nothing to show for it." Stewy says looking at Kendall's slick black wet hair that was sticking to his forehead at that moment.

Kendall only had a few buttons left on his shirt, "You said you loved my hair so don't act like you don't."

"I was probably high as shit." Stewy tells him.

"High words are sober thoughts." Kendall jokes as he finishes buttoning the last button. He knows how much that phrase annoys the shit out of Stewy. So he says it as often as possible. Plus that lead to their first sober kiss.

Stewy groans at the phrase.

Kendall picks his tie off the bed and looking in the full length mirror in his room as he ties it. It's silent as Kendall walks over and gets a suit jacket from his closet. He hangs the hanger back and puts the jacket on.

He walks back to the mirror looking and moving the jacket around seeing which way looked better. His nerves were catching up to him.

"You're coming to my dad's party, right?" Kendall asked, even though he knew the answer. He always tended to talk a lot when he was nervous. Plus it never hurt to get that reassurance.

"Oh shit that's today?" Stewy jokes.

"You know it's today, asshole." Kendall says walking towards his bathroom to pick up a black tooth comb off of the marble bathroom counter top. Technically Kendall thinks the comb was Stewy's that he'd left there towards the beginning of their relationship. At this point in their relationship, Stewy had almost all of his stuff at Kendall's house. Only ever really stopping by his own house for a quick minute some days. He can't recall the last time Stewy hadn't slept at his house.

As he brushed his hair and tried to style it nice, while staring at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, he hears Stewy's voice.

"Of course I'm going." Stewy reassures him, staring at his boyfriend.

"Great." Kendall says putting the comb down

Kendall looks in the mirror one more time to make sure he look great before turning off the bathroom light and walking towards his boyfriend. "See you later."

They share a breif kiss and Kendall dodges Stewy's hand as he tried to mess up his hair.

In the car Kendall goes back and forth between checking his texts and listening to music. He'd talked to his dad earlier, business and personal stuff. Shiv had texted him a few minutes ago about what he'd got dad for his brithday. Then Roman texted him that he would probably be stopping by the office at some point that day.

"Will it set off the smoke alarms?" Frank asks the random guy, Sager or whatever the fuck, Kendall wasn't really paying attention.

"Not usually."

"Not usually?" Kendal asks then his eyes catch onto his brother approaching.

"Hey, hey, motherfuckers!" Roman makes his presence known as he walks into the office.

"Roman." Kendall greets his brother.

"Is this your guy?" Frank asks pointing.

Roman squints his eyes at the guy, "Maybe I don't know."

Kendall thinks back to last night. Kendall, Stewy, Roman, Shiv, and Tom all on Shiv's balcony to her relatively new penthouse, smoking joints and drinking. It very well could be a possibility that Roman did call him and didn't remember that.

"Well, we're concerned about the alarms." Frank says knowing nothing about the previous night.

Roman just deisdes to go with it. Judging by the way his face squenches up slightly like holding back a wince when Frank talked to close to his ear. Kendall can assume he's very hugover and doesn't want to have to think on it, "Ooh, right, yeah, the bad juju."

"Now, I can use essential oils." The guys puts in.

"Oh, I think just fuck off, thanks." Roman says rubbing his head a little. Kendall is thankfull in that moment that he doesn't get hungover a lot.

Roman sits in the free chair, that was Kendall's but he had desided to stand. Roman looks to his brother, "How ya doing?"

"Good. Good. Just finessing." Kendall replies.

"Mm. Finessing. Nice." Roman says.

"Bye." Roman says waving bye to the saging whatever the fuck dude.

"You ok, man?" Kendall asks, wondering what his brother had done last night to completely forget paying a guy to do something. When Roman had went home he only had like one beer.

"Ok? Yes, I'm ok. Obviously." Roman said it in a way that just made Kendall more worried but Kendall dropped the subject for that moment. Knowing this was not the time nor place for that descussion. "Why would you even ask that?"

"I don't know. Just, you know." Kendall says and Kendall knows Roman knows exactly why he asks that.

"So, what's the bid?" Roman asks not subtlety changing the subject as he clears his throat.

"What's the bid?" Kendall asks at the change of topic even though he knows the topic the siblings were subtly talking about could not be discussed at the moment. Here was not the place to talk about both of their history with drugs and alcohol.

"Mm-hmm." Roman hums hoping his brother will go along with the topic change.

"Well..." Kendall starts and Roman walks around the desk and goes to his brother's side.

Kendall notices a couple of employees/interns have looked up from their work and stared at the Roy dou. It wasn't everyday you saw a Roy for more that a minute let alone two interacting. Kendall brushes the looks off and focuses on his brother's next words.

"What? That's commercially sensitive?" Roman jokes moving to sit on the window boarder thing. Kendall does not think that can be comfortable but Roman crosses his legs to make his position somthing Kendall wouldn't deem comfortable in a ballpark. Though then agian this was Roman he was talking about. "I'm still on the board, man."

Kendall bites back he's a lot more involved with the family business than just being on the board but the eyes of courious onlookers remind him this is not the place or time.

"Going 125." Kendall tells him.

"One-twenty-five?" Roman asks.

"What?" Kendall asks his brother.

"Fuck." Roman says.

"What?" Kendall asks stressed "High or low?"

Roman puts a hand to his mouth to try to stop his silent laughter but gives up hiding it.

"You're laughing. What?" Kendall asks agian genuinely concerned. He doesn't know about fucking up the offer or Roman himself. Honestly probably both if he is really honest with himself.

"No." Roman chokes out between laughs, "For Vaulter, right?"

"Yeah." Kendall answers.

"Bit of content and a brand name?"

"Bit of content and a brand name kinda's the whole game." Kendall tells his brother. "Isn't it?"

"Mm-hmm."

Frank watches the boys and is reminded of when Logan brought them to work with him somdays and they would have fake business clients and meetings preparing for the future.

Roman laughs again abruptly and hides his face in his arm to try to silence it a little.

"What are you laughing at?" Kendall asks concerned. This time he knows it's 100% about his brother and not business.

"I don't know what I'm talking about." Roman says looking at Kendall. "You're gonna be captain of the ship soon enough. So I don't..."

"Shh." Kendall shushes him before anything else about the family slips out of his brother's lips.

"Oh, shit." Roman makes a shocked face as if he can't believe he had just said that.

"Sorry." Roman apologizes to Kendall as both Roy boys look at the other occupants in the room, some quickly turning their heads down to look busy while others have no shame for ease dropping.

Roman hits his hands agianist the metal. "Fuck you, man. Every intern on the street knows that you're stepping up. Seriously, congrats."

"I should take off. Fuck it." Roman says as he notices the uneasy silence that has settled upon the room. Kendall stayed quiet since there was nothing he could say to his brother that was on his mind infront of these nosey onlookers.

Roman gets up smiling at his brother. Kendall returns it and Roman holds his arms out to hug him which Kendall returns.

"Thanks for coming by." Kendall says.

"Mm-hmm."

"Mwah." Roman kisses his cheek. Somthing all the Roy siblings did with each other. Caroline used to kiss their cheeks all the time as kids. The siblings repeated it and it just became a thing that anytime they hugged it was usually followed by a kiss on the cheek.

Roman giggles slightly as he looks at the interns who once agian pretended they weren't looking at the Roy family moment.

"Love you, brother." Roman says as he leaves the office.

"Love you too." Kendall calls after him.

Kendall pulls out his phone and pulls up texts.

Dad

Rome

Shivy

Stewy

Kendall clicks on the contact Con that has a contact photo of Connor with cake and icing all over his face from when Shiv shoved a slice of cake in his face. It had ended in a food fight between all four siblings leaving almost no cake left to eat but it left all the siblings clenching their stomachs in laughter so it was worth it.

Kendall snaps out of the memory and types to his half-brother. Check on Rome when you can.

It doesn't take long for Connor's response.

I will don't worry.

"This is a fucking disaster." Tom tells Shiv stressing as they stand infront of a store that is guaranteed to have nothing under the price of 10 grand. "I got to strategize my gift. What can I get him he'll love?"

"I don't know." Shiv tells her best firend.

"You don't know?" Tom asks. "What did you used to get him?"

"Well when I was younger I used to give him the stuff they made us make in class. Like with your hand prints and other shit and before that my mom used to paint mine and the boys feet and put them on canvases. We actually still have some."

"If I give him a foot print painting I think he might have a heart attack or throw it at my fucking face." Tom tells her.

Shiv sighs and puts her hands on Tom's shoulders, "You're overthinking this. You are family now. Marcia invited you because she thought you were family which means he does as well. If you're family it doesn't really matter."

"What about not family?" Tom asks.

"Then they are the ones that should be freaking the fuck out right now not you."

"What are his interests?" Tom asks.

"He likes art a lot." Shiv says "Him and Marcia both. When I was little we used to go to art galleries all the time."

"What kind of art?"

"Well anything really." Shiv said. "But last year for his and Marcia's anniversary we got a custom painting of the beach they honeymooned at."

Tom knew 'we' meant the 4 Roy kids.

"I don't think I can do that." Tom says "Especially on such short notice."

"Oh please you've known of his brithday since like forever ago."

Shiv can see a little blub go off in Tom's head. He snaps his fingers and Shiv raises an eyebrow expectantly. "I can get him a watch."

"Great." Shiv says chuckleing. She pats him on the shoulder, "Get him a watch."

"Does he already have one?"

Shiv laughs "He's about to turn 80 you think he knows how to use a fucking phone for the time?"

They both laugh.

"I have a way that the gift can stand out." Shiv tells him.

"If we go stupid on the stock, what does a really sexy package look like? Hmm?" Kendall says as he unwraps his broritou from the wrapper. It was the same restaurant they always got when they were kids, Connor's favorite restaurant for the longest. "He's probably illiquid, right? So, what, we throw in another ten million?"

"Might need to throw in a blow job, too." A intern jokes.

Kendall chuckles, though it's fake, making sure to cover his mouth with his hand since his mouth is full. He goes to to lean back in his chair and has his feet proped on the desk, a postion he had seen his dad take many times in his childhood.

Kendall's attention is on the ceiling above him when the Interns laughter all cuts out at once. Curiously Kendall looks away from the ceiling and sees his dad entering the room.

"Dad." He greets grinning.

"I thought you'd be in St. Barts by now." Frank says chuckling and shaking Logan's hand.

"How's it goin'?" Logan asks his son.

"Good." Kendall tells him, taking another bit of his burrito and removing his feet from the desk to stand up and walk closer to his father but his father walks towards him pulling up a chair to sit down infront of Kendall's desk. Kendall backs back up to his seat and takes another bite.

"I remember that place." Logan says pointing to the bag.

Kendall knows his dad can feel all the eyes on him but he doesn't falter so nethier does Kendall.

"Great to know your old age hasn't affected your memory." Kendall jokes and they both chuckle.

"Marcia would beg to differ." Logan chuckles.

"What are you doing at the office on your big day anyway?" Kendall says taking the last bite.

"Marcia wanted me out of the house for the surprise brithday." Logan says putting emphasis on surprise.

Kendall smiles and whips his hands off on a napkin.

"Did they take the offer?" Logan asks.

Kendall shakes his head, "How high would you go?"

"I have five farms, and underneath all my farms runs a big, giant aquifer that's like an underground lake." Connor tells a little girl, Allie. He thinks she's from Marcia's family he doesn't know.

He always liked being around kids. Had since before Logan even remairred. That's why he thought he hit the jack pot when Caroline said she was pregnant then agian 6 years later.

"That's so cool!" Allie

"I have pumping rights. That means I get to take the water." Connor tells her.

Marcia looks at them fondly. So far so good. The elevator clicking turns her attention away from the wholesome scene. She walks over to embrace her step-son in hug after he steps out of the elevator.

"Hey Marcia." Roman says voice full of fondness as he hugs her back.

"Good to know atleast some of Logan's kids have a habbit of being on time for family events." Marcia says pulling away.

"I'm glad you are here." Marcia says as she pats his cheek.

Roman smiles at her and she walks away towards the kitchen. Proably to yell and stress more about everyhing being perfect.

Roman looks around the enterance to the penthouse, spotting his half-brother and Willa. Along with a random Woman, proably around Kendall's age maybe a little older to be around 40. The woman also was with a little girl, around 10 or 12, with dirty blonde hair. Roman walks over, Connor to engrossed in his conversation to notice him. Roman gives a small smile towards Willa who returns it. Roman leans agianist the wall beside Willa, who's smiling thoughtfully towards Connor.

"That's so cool!" The girl says.

"And it's very important because someday water's gonna be more precious than gold and people are gonna kill each other to try to get that water." Connor says and Willa and Roman both sigh in excappration.

"Oh, hey, hey, Con, don't, don't." Willa interupts her boyfriend.

"Don't listen to him." Roman reassures the girl. Connor must forget somtimes that not all kids were the same as him, Shiv, and Kendall. That not all kids used to request horror stories for bedtime stories (Shiv).

"Right, right, sorry." Connor says smiling apologetically to the mother and smiling happily at Roman.

"But I'm gonna have the water." Connor whispers to the girl "And I'll share with you."

Willa just chuckles softly and links her arms with Connor to try to get him to join another conversation, which he does easily.

Willa, Roman, and Connor start to get into a discussion on who knows what, you can never predict with this family.

"It's fine." Shiv reassures Tom in the elevator placing her hand on his arm smiling at him.

"I know." Tom says but it doesn't sound convinced.

Tom sighs and the elevator opens and the 'couple' walks out into the penthouse.

"Hi." Shiv greets Marcia.

"Hi." Tom repeats.

Marcia, who has returned to the room when she heard the elevator doors open, was first to hug Shiv. "Hi." She says sweetly hugging Shiv.

Shiv hugs back smiling softly.

"How are you?" Shiv asks.

"Good." Marcia says still smiling at her step-daughter, "How are you?"

"Good."

"You look great." Marcia says looking at Shiv's outfit. Eyes catching on the beautiful pastel pink color of her shirt, "What a beautiful color."

"Thanks." Shiv says grinning at the complement. She looks Marcia up and down and at the beautiful blue color of her dress "Same."

"Thank you." Marcia thanks.

"Hi, Tom." Marcia greets Tom around like he doesn't know if he belongs there and his expression is as if he walk into the wrong place.

Tom face lights up at being recognized and greeted, "Hey, Marcia, how are you?"

She pulls him in a hug, "Nice to see you."

"Nice to see you." Tom repeats.

Marcia kisses both of his cheeks.

"How are you?" Marcia asks.

"Very good." Tom replies.

The group of three broke up their conversation to greet the dou.

"Hey, Global Tom." Roman greets him, "How you shaking? You still fucking shit up for us?"

Tom laughs, "Still cleaning up your mess, pal."

Roman chuckles, "Yeah, right."

They share a quick hug before Roman goes towards his twin sister.

"Hey, sis." Roman greets her.

"Hi." Shiv smiles at him.

"Politics still boring the living shit out of you?" Roman asks

"Yeah, you know, I'm burying the bodies, counting the cash." Shiv tells him.

"Look at you. You like, you know, an actual human person." Roman comments jokingly looking her up and down.

"Well, thanks, buddy." Shiv says pulling him into a hug.

"Mm-hmm." Roman hums in her shoulder.

"Oh, what is that?" Shiv asks smelling his colone. "Date rape by Calvin Klein?"

"Yeah, you wish." Roman says as he walks away from her.

"'You wish'" Shiv asks challengingly as he walks away.

Roman flips her off as he walks away back to the spot where he was previously leaning agianist the wall. Connor and Willa take turns greeting the new arrivals.

"Mr. Roy." A boy with black hair standing tall but awkwardly on the path of the stairs. The boy could be no older than 22. "Hi. Hello. Hello there."

"Whoa. Can I help you, sir?" Colin asks nearing the boy challengingly.

"Yeah, I'm actually..." The boy says neverously then points to Logan "I'm actually here to see you."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" Greg says as Colin shoves him into a wall.

"Get your hands back!" Colin demands, he hadn't worked for this family over 30 years without knowing what to do in these situations. It happens more than you think.

Greg whines at the roughness and hardness of the wall he hit.

"Who are you?" Colin demands,

Greg breaths heavy not knowing what to do.

Logan takes his black sunglasses of and examines the boy from where he stands.

The boy's eyes dart over to Logan, who is looking at him couriously, "Greg! I'm Greg!" The boy says frantically as Colin tightens his hold on him.

Before Logan can even process the words and tell Colin to put the boy down Greg contuines talking, "I'm Marianne's Greg. Your nephew?"

"He's find Colin." Logan tells him. He might be developing a bad memory but he will always remember his nephew. Even if he hates his grandfather. The boy never seemed to much like from what he saw when the boy was younger and definitely didn't seem anything like him from what he saw in the past couple of minutes.

Greg's seems to think he should talk more when Colin's grip only losens slightly. "My mom called Marcia and I talked to that guy and he said that I could go up."

Colin looks to Logan to make for sure that this is in fact this guy sis related to Logan. "He's okay."

Colin let's Greg go and straightens his jacket and fancy shirt apologetically, "Sorry about that, man."

"It's fine." Greg says sihing in releif "Just doing your job."

Greg turns to Logan holding out the flowers, "I just wanted to say happy brithday."

"Thank you." Logan thanks as he takes the flowers. Colin stays beside Logan as Greg stands on the other side of Logan.

"So Marcia knows you are coming." Logan asks for confirmation.

Greg nods as Colin pushes the elevator button.

After a minute the elevator dings and the three of them step on.

"He's a very good bodyguard." Greg tells Logan.

"I would hope so he's been working with me for over thrity years." Logan says.

Colin quickly texts Marcia they are on the elevator.

The Interns have left hus office by this point, Kendall told them to let him think and they would meet agian later. His silence is interrupted by a small knock on his door and then it opens without waiting for his response. Kendall had resumed the postion he had before his father came in therefore he just tore his eyes away from the ceiling to see his boyfriend walking towards him.

"You were concerned about me going to the party and you're the one going to make us late." Stewy tells him leaning agianist his desk.

Kendall rolls his eyes. "I've been busy."

"We need to get going." Stewy says and Kendall takes his legs off the desk but doesn't get up.

"You know how bad New York traffic is." Stewy tells him. He grabs Kendall's hands and pulls him up.

"When's the old man coming?" Shiv asks Roman.

"Oh he's trying to close a business deal still." Roman tells her.

"Isn't today his day off?" Shiv asks.

"Oh you meant dad." Roman says even though Shiv is pretty sure he knew exactly who she was talking about, "Thought we were talking about Kendall."

"Folks, he's back!" Marcia tells everyone and hey get ready except the Roy family who stay back and keep their vocies down ever so slightly.

"Let's hope dad doesn't go into cardiac arrest." Roman says finishing off his drink, which he had stolen from dad's liquor cabinet after Marcia told him no drinks till dinner.

"He's back. Find a place. Hide for the surprise. Come on." Someone else from Marcia's family says.

"Oh, we're not surprising him, are we?" Roman asks.

"Yeah." Someone tells him he doesn't know proably from Marcia's family. She has a lot and Roman doesn't think he or any of his siblings has ever actually talked to one of them. Well, maybe slightly at their wedding but still.

"Oh, he's gonna love this." Shiv says saracasticly as the Roy clan that was there (Her, Roman, Connor, Willa, and Tom) all tried to stay towards the side but also front of the group.

"I think last time I surprised him, Colin took a swing at me." Roman says. It wasn't his dad's fault or Colin's really. He liked Colin and he had kept that family safe for a long time and he was a good friend.

The elevator doors opened and, "Surprise!" Was shouted by multiple occupants in the room.

Tom's eyes caught on the boy standing taller, although awkwardly, beside Logan. The boy had a beautiful blue eyes that were wide at the amount of people that were there.

"Go ahead. Go ahead." Logan told Greg. Greg nodded quickly and stepped out of the elevator. Logan stepped out after him.

"Give me room. Give me room." Logan said as he felt crowded by the multiple people he could not recall the name of or even the face. Marcia came up to him placing her hand on his back smiling brightly.

"Thank you. Thank you. What a surprise." Logan says numbly walking past random people. He headed towards the driection of where his kids stood.

He ingored any one talking to him. Muttering about Kendall's business deal and the pushback of the closing. Though it was stopped when he laid his eyes on his kids infront fo him.

"Connor, Primo! How are you?" Logan wrapped his arms around his eldest son. Connor smiled, he didn't know if it would be the best if he came back to New York but maybe he should stay a little longer than planned. Plus, Willa definitely liked staying here more.

"Good. Excellent, Pa." Connor said back. He had been staying down at his ranch for a couple of months. Calling Willa every now and then and she comes down every now and then but with his father's brithday coming up he had desided to go back to New York.

"Here you go." Connor hands a gift bag over to Logan.

Logan smiles and hands it to Marcia.

"Roman! Romulus!" Logan greets his son. Roman smiles at his dad.

"Look at you! You look fantastic!" Logan tells him looking at his son's outfit.

"Yeah, of course." Roman jokes as Logan hugs him.

"Happy birthday." Roman says after the hug, clapping him on the back.

"Siobhan. Sweetheart." Logan greets his only daughter.

"Happy birthday." Shiv told him.

"Where's Tom?" Logan asks kissing his daughter on the cheek and hugging her.

"He's here." Shiv laughs pointing beside her "He's just there."

"Oh, well, never mind." Logan says turning his attention to whoever the hell Tom was to Shiv. He was to old to understand it.

Logan and Tom laugh. Logan goes to hug Tom, somthing that shocks him but he returns. It's over quicker than the ones with his kids but still it was way more than Tom was expecting,

"Oh, oh, oh, oh." Logan says and turns and points at the awkwardly standing kid, "Everybody, this is Craig, by the way. Cousin Craig."

Greg just rolls with it and waves at the family. Shiv however doesn't roll with it, "'Craig'? It's Greg. N-No?"

"Yeah. Greg." Greg tells the family, "People sometimes, like, mistakenly call me Craig, too, so I'll answer to both."

The elevator dings open and Kendall and Stewy walk out hand in hand.

"Told you we would be late." Stewy muttered to him. Kendall rolled his eyes.

"Kendall?" Logan asks as the couple pushes their way through the crowd of people by the elevator and towards the back.

Kendall lets go of Stewy's hand and goes closer to his dad, "Happy birthday, Dad."

They hug.

Kendall moves to hug Marcia and Logan hugs Stewy, someone who grew up in his house as basically a 5th child.

"Happy Brithday, Logan." Stewy tells him.

"Big day." Shiv tells Kendall.

Kendall smiles at his sister.

"Congratulations." Shiv says hugging him "You bastard."

"Congratulations." Connor tells him.

"Thanks Connor." Kendall says as they hug.

"Good luck." Connor tells him.

Greg taps him on the shoulder, "Hey. Hey, Kendall."

Kendall nods and smiles even though he's confused.

Kendall's phone buzzes, "I-"

"Take it, Ken." Logan tells him.

Kendall nods and smiles apologeticly before leaving the room and putting his phone to his ear.

"You didn't tell me your cousin was super hot." Tom whispers to Shiv while everyone is socializing.

"Never asked." Shiv told him.

"I can set you two up." Shvi says and she starts to walk towards Greg who looks neverous but is talking to Willa and Connor.

Tom catches her hand, "No no no."

"What?"

"Not now." Tom whisper hisses.

Shiv chuckles and rolls her eyes.

Kendall walks back into the room holding his phone. Stewy walks over to him.

"How's it going?"

"Good actually." Kendall says "Probably will have to meet in person though."

"You are going to kill it so you just need to put it out of your mind and celebrate." Stewy tells him.

Kendall smiles at him.

"Rava and the kids still coming?" Stewy asks.

"Should be right now actually." Kendall says checking the time and wlaking towards the elevator.

The elevator opened and Shopie and Iverson ran out and enveloped Kendall in a hug while Rava smiled.

"Hey Rava." Stewy greets.

"Hey Stewy." Rava hugs him and he hugs her back.

Stewy hears Kendall tell the kids to go make a card upstairs, which they go off to do excitedly.

Kendall stnads up from his squatting postion to be on the kids level. He hugs Rava.

"Glad you were able to make it." Kendall told her.

"Free food and free babysitting," Rava jokes, "How could I miss it?"

Kendall and Stewy chuckle.

The seating was somewhat normal. At most family functions (like their father's brithday) the family sat closest to him while just business people and co workers sat father away.

Kendall sat at dad's right with Stewy beside him. Roman sat beside Stewy with Connor and Willa beside him. On Logan's left Marcia sat with Tom by her and Shiv by him and beside her she offered Greg a spot. (She intended to make Tom sit beside him but he pussyed out although she did enjoy the company of her cousin and mouthing comments to Roman across the table).

"I think it's time to play the game." Logan ancounnes after they are all done eating.

The kids start laughing and sharing identical grins.

"Really?" Roman asks.

"Yes, Really." Logan confirms.

"What's the game?" Greg asks Shiv, who's still laughing, confused.

"You'll see." She says smirking.

The dinner is done and people are giving their goodbyes to Marcia's family as they leave to go home. The Roy kids wait with excitement to play the game. It started going by the game when they were kids to sound more mature.

"What's going to be the car situation?" Tom asks seeing how many people are still left.

Shiv shrugs.

Shiv says, "We'll figure it out." at the same time Roman says, "We fight to the death."

"Got it." Tom says giving the classic thumbs up.

The group walks out the door to the building and heads towards the cars.

Roman ends up riding with Stewy and Kendall because qoute on qoute, 'he has had enough of Shiv for one day.'

Greg looks around couriously as everyone seems to be following some sort of brithday tradition that he had no idea about.

"Greg!" Shiv calls slightly over all the chatter of the family and the distance that is spliting the cousins up.

Greg snaps his head towards her.

Shiv, not wanting to yell agian, waves her hand in a 'come here' motion. Greg's eyes widden slightly in surprise but he walks quickly towards them as Tom thinks somthing along the lines of, Shiv wants to kill me.

"You can ride with us." Shiv tells him and slides to the middle seat. She throws Tom, who is sitting in the left seat giving her a look, a knowing smirk. Greg slides in after her and shuts the door.

Greg looks around the car impressed, it wasn't flashy flashy expensive but Greg can tell it costs more money than any car he has ever seen in real life. At the beginning of the day Greg wouldn't have thought that he would be in a situation where he would speak actually words with a Roy that actually carried the last name. Yet so far he had talked to three. Plus Willa, who by Greg's understanding is an honorary Roy. So 4.

"So what exactly is the game?" Greg asks after he is done admiring and self reflecting.

"Youll see." Shvi says agian smirking.

"Just tell him." Tom says.

"Fine it's where we fight to the death to see who loves Dad more." Shiv jokes.

It seems like Greg believes it for a second before he sees Shiv and Tom burst into giggles. Greg does the same, though there is a neverous hint to it.

Greg gawks at the private landing/take off pad as it comes into veiw. Shiv smirks. As the car comes to a stop she sees Stewy, Kendall, and Roman (who were in a car infront of them and left slightly before them) standing and waiting.

Roman made a gesture with his hands, Shiv really couldn't make it out but it seemed to mean it's about time, when Tom opened the door and got out of the car.

Greg opened his door and got out and Shiv slid and got out on Tom's side.

A helicopter hovered and landed on the landing pad and Greg plugged his ears and he loudness of he noise, Shiv and Tom chuckled as the trio made their way towards the other trio.

"You'll get used to it." Tom tells him over the noise. Greg wears an expression of Confusion and excitement at the fact that Tom is implying there will be another time. More than another time.

"Should we wait for Logan?" Stewy asks.

"Probably." As she says that the other three cars pull up.

Connor and Willa get out of the first one. Rava and her kids get out of the second one. Logan, Marcia, and Frank get out of the last one.

Walking towards the other group of people the family spilts up between 4 helicopters. Shiv spilts from Tom to ride with Roman, Connor, and Willa. Kendall and Stewy move to ride with Logan and Marica. Tom makes a motion towards Greg to follow him.

Tom takes notice of Greg's clinched hands. "You scared of heights?"

Greg's stumble over his words is an answer enough for Tom. "Shiv told me Roman used to be the same when he was a kid."

Greg laughs, "Really?"

"That's what she said." Tom says chuckling "Don't bring it up to Roman though."

"Wouldn't dream of it." Greg says.

A comfortable silence settles between the two men who are both trying to think of how to keep the conversation going.

"How long have you and Shiv been dating?" Greg asks.

"We aren't dating." Tom says.

Greg raises a shocked eyebrow. "Really?"

"Open relationship." Tom said. "But really we are more of friends than a couple."

"You live together." Greg points out.

Tom chuckles, "Friends can live together. Do you assume everyone who lives together is fucking?"

Greg blushes and looks out the window mumbling somthing that Tom couldn't make out.

"Would you like to share that with the class Greg?" Tom asks.

"Not particularly."

The helicopters land in a grass patch to one of the Roy families many summer homes. Everyone gets off and walks around. The sun is out and shining but not to hot that it's uncomfortable and sweaty.

Their is a lot of commotion with the crowd of people and sercuity and everything. Greg doesn't like crowds. Therefore he finds himself gravitating towards Tom who walks the place with confidence, somthing that Greg lacks.

Kendall walks to the helicopter that Rava and the kids were in and greets them as hey get off.

They meet up with the rest of the family as the go under a canopy. Greg realizes looking around what the game is, baseball. The canopy seems to be for just the family and close friends and a couple of workers and sercuity. Greg feels excitement as he gets offered a drink like he's here everytime on Logan's brithday.

Sercuity makes laps telling people not to take photos or give any information to press on what happens today.

"I swear if I see any photos on TMZ tomorrow." Stewy says as he talks a drink.

"There will probably be a thousand." Kendall says.

"Fucking vultures."

Kendall nods in agreement with his boyfriend.

Stewy knows people fly drones over the Roy family properties to get photos of the family. It's fucking creepy. The amount of lawsuits the news company got from Logan was enough to make them stop. Until Shiv's sun bathing scandal of 2008. Stewy remembers how pissed off Kendall was. How pissed Logan was. Honestly the whole family was. Even him. Shiv still hasn't gotten over it. Stewy doesn't blame her.

"How was your first helicopter ride?" Connor asks Greg.

"It was so crazy." Greg says grinning happy to be acknowledged out of all these famous people "It goes so much faster than I thought."

Connor chuckles.

"You want to warm up?" Connor asks him. The kid seemed nice and his dad seemed to have a soft spot for him.

"Sure, let's get a glove." Greg says looking around.

"Can I have a second?" Roman asks and someone pours him another glass.

Willa walks over to him.

"What time is it?" Roman asks. He makes a motion wih his wrist.

Marcia throws and misses, "Ah!"

"Oh!", Frank says and picks it off the ground and throws it back to Marcia.

Willa, Stewy, Roman, and Kendall stand around talking about random stuff.

Rava walks over to Kendall the kids trialing behind her.

"You want to warm up." Rava asks him. Kendall cna tell this is a way to get him to hang out with Iverson. Who he knows asked Rava to ask him.

"Sure." Kendall says smiling and sliding on a glove.

"Now that things are getting shaken up, would you come farther inside?" Logan asks his daughter as they watch people warm up.

"Dad, I'm not just playing with the politics." Shiv says.

"Oh, no, of course. Politics." Logan chuckles, "Not to be crude about it, but politics is what comes out the asshole."

"If I could finish," Shiv says smirking, "I wouldn't mind getting my hands dirty a little more."

Logan shares an identical smirk with her.

"Go, Rava!" Shiv says. She's loved the woman since she had met her. She doesn't know what made her want to be friends with her brother but she's glad she did. She grew up with boys, not that she didn't love her brothers, her whole life. It was nice to have a woman to talk too.

"Psych your mind!" Roman says.

"That's a strike!" Connor says after Rava swings laughing. It was all good fun. None of them were particularly good at baseball, except Kendall but he played in College so it doesn't count.

"Got her looking!" Roman says celebrating that he struck someone out. They desided to give Kendall's arm a rest in case they got into a tight situation. Which was unlikely because the best players there were on their team. "That's good pitching."

Roman and Kendall, who is playing in the outfield, share a air high-five.

"Don't get too coacky just yet, Rome!" Shiv yells at him from her grauding second base.

Roman flips her off before turning around.

"Change sides!" Willa yells from her spot on the sidelines. She wore a black dress to the dinner and couldn't play. It was long sleeve and went to the knees so nothing that wouldn't be appropriate for the dinner but not to play baseball. She had taken the job of referree/umpire/scorekeeper. Though she lets Shopie and Iverson change the score.

Tom and Greg talked for a minute.

"So do you like the rich feeling?" Tom asks.

Greg desides to be honest, "Yeah. It's crazy and werid but it's cool.

"Tom!" Shiv yells, "You are up to bat!"

"All right, Siobhan." Tom says putting his glove down and pikcing up his bat.

"Bring it!" Shiv yells to Colin who is pitching for the other team.

"Kendall you ready?" Shiv asks as Kendall was next up to bat.

"Don't hurt yourself." Roman tells him.

"I'm not that old." Kendall tells him.

Roman makes a face.

"I'm only a couple of years older than you." Kendall tells him.

"You can tell." Roman says.

"Oh please." Kendall says rolling his eyes.

"Just don't stirke out." Roman says.

After Kendall hits a home run Roman makez the comment, "See I knew he could do it."

"Strike two!" Willa called from the sidelines where she and Sophie sat in the grass beside the scoreboard. Iverson went to sit by Rava and Logan.

The ball was thrown back to Kendall. He caught it. His phone rang.

He pulled his phone out of his pocket.

"Boo!" Roman, who was gaurding first base, shouted at his brother as Kendall stared at the caller id.

"Hang on a minute." Kendall said.

"Oh come on." Roman mutters.

Kendall knows he probably should answer the phone but then agian his father sometimes blew off business when they were kids so why couldn't he. When Shiv yelled something at him he declined the call and put it back in his pocket.

"Ok," Kendall said, "We're good!"

"Thank you!" Roman said glad they could get back to the game.

The game ended and they won. Obviously.

"Look I've got to get to work." Kendall tells his family.

"Ok." Shiv says and they share a quick hug. He shares a quick hug and goodbyes with all his siblings before he grabs Stewy's hand a walks over towards Rava and Logan.

"Happy brithday dad." Kendall tells him.

Kendall hugs Shopie and Iverson and kisses both of them on the head.

Stewy and Kendall board the helicopter, Kendall already on the phone with one of the interns who has been working with him.

"I need to get home and work on a new script." Wila tells the group.

"Jez," Roman jokes, "We are going to end up going to like twenty-eight fucking premiers."

Willa smiles slightly and Connor smiles proudly.

"Connor! Roman! Shiv!" Their dad's voice reaches their ears. The three says their goodbyes and walk towards their father's helicopter.

Roman and Shiv shove eachother slightly to be first (just like when they were kids). Connor chuckles as he watches following behind them.

"So... so Kelly, uh..." Logan says randomly while the family was making conversation.

"Who's Kelly?" Shiv asks.

"Kelly will set up some figures." Logan says, his eyes look unfocused.

Roman raises his eyebrows and looks at his twin sister then back at his dad in confusion. "Dad?"

No response.

"Dad?" Shiv asks concerned.

"Yeah, he..." Logan.

"Dad?" Connor questioned him.

"Dad?" Shiv asked panicing.

"Get a grasp of what... what..." Logan said pausing to take whezzey breathss through his mouth.

Logan falls forwards slightly breathing, which sounds more like wheezing, heavyly and slowly.

"Dad!" Shiv calls panicking, "Dad!"

"Dad!" Roman asks.

"Dad!" Connor shouts.

Logan groans and falls agianst Connor's shoulder.

"Dad!" Connor calls trying to shake his dad as if he went to sleep.

The twisn jump up from their seat.

"Dad! Dad!"

"Dad! Dad!"

"A hospital." Roman tells the pilot, "Take us to a hospital."

"Ok, yeah, now!" Roman yells panicking.

"Has he fainted?" Shiv asks.

Connor runs his hand over Logan's forehead, "He fainted? He's hot. He's really hot. I don't know."

A/n: I always found it funny how Connor and Kendall are kinda simple names and then out of nowhere Logan thought of Romulus and Siobhan.
