*Lori's pov*

Lori knew the best time to ask her parents would be at dinner. So while they were eating spaghetti, Lori said, "I've been thinking and I wanted to ask you guys something?"

"What?" Said her dad as he took a bite of spaghetti.

"I wanna spend the summer with Romeo and Wendy," she stated.

Her mom looked right at her and her dad straightened up the said, "did Romeo and Wendy put you up to that?"

"No I haven't even talked to them about it." She said.

"Well why do you want to go stay with them for the summer?" Asked her mom. "Because I've lived with y'all for my whole life. I wanna know what it would be like to live with them for 3 months." She said.

"Well we will have to talk about it and talk to Romeo and Wendy." Said her mom.

"Why don't you go to your room so me and your mom can talk?" Said her dad.

Lori went up to her room, hopefully they said yes.

*Sting's pov*

Sting didn't know what to do, he loved his daughter, but could he really stop her from going to stay with her birth parents for a few months? What would he do if he had the opportunity to live with his birth parents for a WHOLE summer? He would do it, he had to convince Yukino to let their baby girl stay with Wendy and Romeo for the summer. He had to do it for her. "Yukino I think we should let her go" he said once Lori was out of earshot.

"What! WHY?" She said.

"Yukino, it's only a summer. I can understand why she wants to go, I'm adopted and I love my dads, but if my birth parents called me during high school and invited me to live with them for a summer. I would of jumped at the opportunity, because I'm a curious person I would want to see what it would have been like if they had raised me. She's probably more curious to find out than I would be cause she knows them. She wants to be close to them. As my daughter, no I don't want her to go, but as someone who is also adopted I understand. And I also know she loves us and she will always come back home it's not forever, it's just a summer." Said Sting.

"But Sting, what's going to happen if she gets close to them and wants to stay?" Asked Yukino.

"Yukino, she won't and Romeo and Wendy will send her back, now they will be in her life more. She will want to see them often and call them, but … I heard her earlier, I don't know who she was talking to but she said, 'Now I have 2 moms and 2 dads I've inherited a curse. I have 4 people to yell at me when I get in trouble, but I'm also the luckiest kid alive because I have 4 people who love me and want the best for me. But most of all I'm glad I have my mom and my dad who will do anything for me and always give me a home. I mean they took me in before I was born.'"

"She said that?" Yukino asked. He nodded.

Yukino sighed, "you're right," she said. "Let's call and talk to Romeo and Wendy."

Sting took out his lacrima and called Romeo, "hey Sting, hi Yukino, what is it?" Wendy appeared by his side smiling.

"Well Lori asked us if she could come stay with you for the summer and we have talked about it and we think we should let her, but we have to ask y'all if its ok?" Explained Yukino.

"Lori, wants to come stay with us? For the summer?" Asked Wendy. Romeo and his wife both look flabbergasted, they probably didn't expect this.

They looked at each other for a moment then Romeo spoke, "of course she can and you guys can visit as much as you want. When will she come?" He asked.

"Well Nashi is coming to visit Lori for almost 2 weeks, we can drop her off when we bring Nashi home on the way to my guild leaders conference." Sting said.

"That sounds good." Said Romeo.

"Ok we will be ready for her," said Wendy.

*Wendy's pov*

Wendy didn't expect this, Lori was coming to stay with them, that meant they had some rearranging to do. Romeo and Wendy's house was one floor and has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Romeo and Wendy in the master with a master bath, Max had the next room it was connected to his sisters room by a bathroom. Romeo and Wendy had decided that they would let Lori have the basement. They also have a huge downstairs basement. In the basement is a wine cellar, a huge storage space for old furniture and other stuff, for example their kids keepsakes were in that storage room, a book room and dance studio for Sam. There is also a bar and couch and tv where Romeo and some of the guys from the guild hang out. Romeo had it put in when Mira started shutting the guild bar down at 7 pm so she could be at home with her daughter Nova. The a man cave had originally been at the front of the basement, but when Max turned 10 they converted the front room into a gaming room for him and his friends because they were tired of them all coming over and screaming in Max's room where no one had any peace. Now they were going to remodel the huge game room in the basement into two rooms. They would create 2 rooms down there, one for Lori's bedroom the other for Max's gaming area. They would down size Max's game room to fit Lori's bedroom. They were also going to fix the hallway that organized all the rooms in the basement so Max and his friends wouldn't have to walk through Lori's room to get to the game room. Now they had to have a talk with Max and Samantha SEPARATELY because of their ages. That night after the phone call they talked about the plans. Romeo knew a contractor who could have all the renovations done before Lori arrived. So they called their son Max into the living room when they finished planning it all out. Max is 12, he's tall and has small eyes like Romeo's, but his are brown instead of black and he has long dark purple hair. He grew his hair out long because for some reason he think it's cool to wear his hair in a bun or a ponytail or let hang down like he's some hippie rockstar; Wendy didn't like it, but it's his head he's gotta be the one to wear it. He also wore a long sleeveless open jacket like Romeo and Natsu. Max walked into the room his hair in a bun, "what is it? Am I in trouble? I didn't do anything!" He said. Romeo and Wendy both laughed.

"No your not in trouble, just sit we need to talk to you about something." Said Romeo. Their son sat on the couch Wendy in a chair and Romeo stood behind her.

"So do you remember, Nashi's best friend Lori?" Asked Wendy.

He blushed then said "yea."

"Well you see when me and your dad were Nashi's age we had a baby, " she said. Her son looked stunned, but she continued. "Max, Lori was that baby, but we gave her up for adoption and she just found out the truth and that's she's adopted and now she wants to come spend the summer here."

Her son was stunned, she wondered what he was thinking.

*Max's pov*

Ok so I know Lori, last year I started thinking she was cute now I wanted to gag. I HAD A CRUSH ON MY SISTER! I HAVE ANOTHER SISTER! Sam was enough trouble now there was another one. UGH!

"I have another sister?" Asked Max, maybe they were joking or this was a dream.

"Yes," said his dad.

"WHAT! I have another sister who's coming here to stay for the SUMMER?"

Both his parents nodded. He wanted to SCREEEEEEEAAAAAM! Then he had a lightbulb went off. She can't come.

He smirked then said, "She can't come their isn't enough room. She wouldn't even have a bedroom."

His dad looked at him, "Well son that's not true. She will have a bedroom, we just haven't built it yet."

He was shocked. "YOU'RE ADDING ON TO THE HOUSE!" He screamed.

At that moment his mom looked pissed. "Don't scream you will wake up Sam!" She said.

"No we are not adding on to the house, we are going to renovate the game room in the basement." His mom said.

Now he was pissed the game room in the basement was HIS, NOBODY COULD HAVE ANY OF IT! "Renovate MY GAME ROOM!" He yelled.

"Maxwell Macao Conbolt, be quiet!" Said his mom angrily.

"Yes we are going to down size your gaming room and move it to the far side of the front basement and fix the main hallway from the stairs to include both rooms, so you and your friends can get to the game room without disturbing Lori. Your game room is huge Max and we have been talking about resizing that room for almost a year, because your mom has been wanting a guest bedroom." Explained his dad.

He couldn't believe this, I mean his game room was huge, but his dad had a big man cave.

"Why not resize dad's man cave?" Asked Max.

"Because your game room is bigger Max, my man cave is just as long as your game room, but half the length. Now this is not up for negotiation, we just wanted to let you know what's going to take place within the next 2 weeks." Said his dad.

Max was really mad about his game room, but if he kept arguing he wouldn't even have a game room, so he kept his mouth shut.

"So she's coming in 2 weeks?" He asked.

"Yes Max, now go to bed." Said his mom.

"Ok Goodnight mom, night dad." Said Max as he went to his room. He didn't want a new sister, hell he didn't even like the one he was stuck with. Now he had another sister. "Lord help me!" He prayed as he went to sleep.

*Wendy's pov*

As I laid down to go to sleep I thought about Lori. For the first three years of her life Romeo and I went to Sabertooth every year on her birthday to celebrate with her. Lori called them us Aunt Wen Wen and Uncle Rome. It wasn't easy, but we enjoyed spending that time with our daughter, but the next year we decided to stop going because it was getting harder and harder to not pick her up and take her home, plus I was five months pregnant with Max at the time of her fourth birthday. Next I thought about when Lori was seven and she visited Fairy Tail with Sting and Yukino. It was a great day Romeo even got to show their daughter a little of his magic, but she didn't remember them enough to call them aunt and uncle anymore. Her and Nashi got really close, that's when they vowed to be best friends forever. That night Romeo and I went to dinner with Natsu, Lucy, Nashi, Sting, Yukino and of course Lori. Luke was about the same age as Max they were 3 weeks apart, but Levy was babysitting him that night. This was the first time Lori met Max, he was 3 years old. Lori held him and I remember them playing patty cake and Lori forgot the words and five minutes later the whole table was laughing. Max even cried a little when Romeo took him from Lori's lap and put him in his high chair so he could eat. Then I begin to think about when Lori was 10 and we visited her with Max and Samantha. Sam was almost 2 and Max had just turned 6. We even brought Nashi who was 11 and Luke. We took all the kids to a water park and had a water gun war. Next I remember when Lori was 14 and Yukino called me and let me know that Lori had been in a magic mobile accident. She had hurt her arm pretty bad and they were going to do surgery and there was also the possibility that Lori might lose her arm. I called Lucy who agreed to babysit and Romeo and I went to sabertooth. When we got their Lori was still in surgery, so we sat in the waiting room for around an hour with Sting, Yukino, and Sting adoptive brother Rogue. The after an hour a doctor came into the room and told us all that Lori was fine and they didn't have to amputate her arm. She was asleep at that time and she had a cast on her arm. Romeo and I went inside and checked on her, but we left before she woke up. Of all the times we had to leave Lori that was the hardest… to leave her hurt. Sting and Yukino had encouraged us to stay, but we couldn't. What would Lori have thought if she had woken up and saw me and Romeo there? At that time, to her, we were just Nashi's Aunt and Uncle, it would have been awkward, so we left, but we did check up on her daily for about a week. And now she finally knew the secret and she wasn't mad at us, but she actually wanted to come visit us for a whole summer. I'm so happy, I know this must be hard on Sting and Yukino, but I'm glad they're giving me and Romeo the chance to love our daughter, just like we love Max and Sam. This would be a great summer.

~time skip~

[The next morning]

Wendy and Romeo were eating breakfast with their daughter, Max was still in bed asleep. Sam was 8, she had Wendy big eyes, but they were black instead of brown and she had beautiful, long hair. Her hair color was like a lightened mixture of dark purple and dark blue. She also was missing her 2 front teeth and loved wearing Wendy's old childhood dresses. "So Lori is coming to stay with us?" She asked.

"Yep," said Wendy.

"But why Mommy? Why isn't she staying with Nashi?" She asked.

This was harder than telling Max, Sam wouldn't understand adoption, but she was gonna try.

"You remember when I explained to you that the stork brought babies and put them in a mommy's stomach when they think the mommy and daddy's are ready for a baby." Said Wendy.

Sam nodded.

"Well sometimes the stork accidentally brings some babies before the mommy and daddy's are ready." She said.

"Well what do the mommy and daddy's do with the baby?" She asked.

"Well most of the time they do this thing called adoption. That's when the parents give the baby to a couple that can't be mommy's and daddy's." Explained Wendy. Romeo was still stuffing his face not even paying attention.

"Well why can't they be mommy's and daddy's?" She asked. Wendy elbowed Romeo and he looked at her as he spit out his bite of pancake in surprise and Sam laughed.

"What was that for?" He asked.

"Sam, ask daddy your question while I pour you some more orange juice." Said Wendy as she got up and began to pour her daughter some orange juice.

Sam looked at Romeo and said, "Why can't some people be mommy's and daddy's?" She asked.

Romeo cleared his throat and said, "Well, it's because… um… if all people could be mommy's and daddy's then their wouldn't be anybody to take care of the children whose parents died or couldn't take care of their children." Wendy nodded her head as she sat down and set a glass of orange juice in front of Sam.

"That makes sense, that way everyone will have a mommy and a daddy. But what does that have to do with Lori? " She said.

"Well you see Lori was first given to me and daddy but we couldn't take care of her so Sting and Yukino adopted her." Said Wendy. Her daughter looked shocked.

"Does that make her my sister?"

"Yep" said Romeo.

Sam made a huge smile. "Yay! I get a big sissy." She screamed.

This was better than Max's reaction. Sam finished her breakfast then ran to her room, mumbling about how she would have a new sister who could show her how do make up and play dollies with her and dress up. Wendy was glad. Her kids responded better than she thought.
