family secret (Haylen)

Thomas nodded, "We will be back in the morning." he said to them

They both nodded. My mom looked at us. "I'll be staying here, sweetie." she said to me and I nodded and started for the door.

Enya said the same to Thomas in Irish, who nodded, then walked out of the room

I was waiting for him outside, giving him a small smile.

Thomas smiled back, "I was thinking about when I should break the news to my family." he said to her

"How about we do that together? Maybe meet for a picnic in Central Park? I know the perfect place for all of us. Besides, Lilyana would love to spend some time with your girls." I suggested.

Thomas thought for a moment, then nodded, "I'll talk to Shannon about it" he replied

"Let me know how it went, while I'm getting used to my sneaky big brother." I teased, referring to the bug from earlier.

Thomas smiled, "I will, little sister" he replied

"Love the way you say that." I said, glancing at him.

Thomas nodded again, "I'll keep that in mind" he replied

"Please do. Though I'm quite big for a little sis." i said and smirked a little.

"Aye" Thomas replied, smiling a bit

I smiled a little. "But maybe you should at least tell them about their grandma."

Thomas nodded, "I will" he replied

"Care to give your sis a ride home?" I asked as we reached the entrance.

Thomas looked at her, "Of course" he replied

"Gentleman all the way." I said and smiled at him.

Thomas smiled, then walked her to his car

I walked next to him, enjoying the moment and say nothing.

Thomas was doing the same, reflecting on what happened this day

I was smiling a little, thinking about the days events, though I was quite worried, knowing our father was missing.

Thomas knew Haylen was worried, he reached out and put his arm around her

I smiled a little and lay my head against his shoulder.

Thomas smiled as well as they got closer to his car
