{Tale as old}Our lovely little family{As Tuesday!}

[Abby! (:]

Brooklyn sat at the table, looking between the conversation going on between her mother and Katyna. All she saw was the quick movement of Katyna's lips, with food stored into her cheeks as she talked, then Simone talking back in a slower, more aggrivated way, seeing the way her mouth was moving as she talked and she wasn't making any eye contact with Katyna. Brooklyn sighed as she stabbed at another pea on her plate. She wasn't that hungry to begin with and dinner was never really a time for her to be with her family and talk and whatever. If they ever talked to her it would just fall apon deaf ears, literally. She sighed and stood as soon as she finished, with out permission, just wanting to get away from the socializing and trying to read everybody's lips and seeing food slosh around in their mouth. Around the time Brooklyn hit puberty her hearing aid began to fail in her right ear. It also became harder and harder for her to hear out of her left. At about 15 her world was compleatly silent. She hated it at first but eventually it got a little better for her. Ever since she was adopted in the first place her parents and siblings had started to learn sign, and so had she. So Brooklyn had communication with them, just not verbal communication. She grabbed her phone out of her pocket, looking for just the right person to text. Dominic. Shortly after Christmas with the being reunion and all that Dom and Tricia FINALLY got together. And about a week after that they told them that Tricia was pregnant. Now she was 7 months pregnant and Brooklyn had never seen her older brother more happy with any other girl. She just wanted him right now though 'Come pick me up. Now.' Was all she had texted him. She sat in her room, and a paper, just reading the message over and over and over again. It had to be a prank. It couldn't be them...

"Brooklyn,
It's me... it's mommy. I finally found you my baby girl. I went to go get you years back and I couldn't find you. She said you were gone... my baby was gone. I couldn't bare to not have you in my life, daddy and I would love to see you soon. Please take this seriously my sweetheart. I would never give you up without giving you back. I promised you that the day daddy and I left. You weren't supposed to be given away by that whore of a woman, she was supposed to keep you until we were ready. I will be there soon my baby. To get you back where you belong.

Love,
Mommy."

She shuttered at the letter and whined. She tried to not let the tears fall but she couldn't hold them back, she burried her head in her pillow and just started to sob.


Meanwhile back at the table.

"So mommy today in class we got a new seating chart and now I have to sit next to Markus Pentley!" "EWWWW!" Grace made a face and practically choked on her peas "That's yucky!" she laughed and looked at her adopted sister "That must be gross! Did he smell like dead chickens Jackie?" "No! He smelled like eggs!" Jaquiline, Jackie for short giggled. She looked almost exactly like her father. She had natrual jet black hair from him being from Hawaii and being part asian it apparently passed to her. She also had natural tan skin, the second darkest in the Trumper family besides Hazel, who didn't count because she was black. She had been adopted after the fire, and Gordon and Simone being given full legal custidy of her if they wished, which they had. Even though Jackie does remember her parents, it was a very vague rememberance. She now considered Simone and Gordon her mommy and daddy, yes. That's exactly what she refered to them as. She looked up "Oh and I got a perfect on my spelling test!" Jackie looked at them, proud of herself "Hey can we stay up extra late tonight?!" she looked at Gordon, who was normally the person they would ask for that. It was a Friday night and even on weekend she and Aalyah (Sorry if I spelled it wrong. I forget) and Grace even had a bedtime. She gave her deep blue eyes, one of the only traits she had gotten from her mother, a begging look as she smiled at Gordon "Please daddy!"

Simone gave a worried look at Brooklyn as she walked away from the table without a word. She had noticed her acting a bit strangely lately, but she had no idea why. However, knowing all the younger Kaulitz-Trumper children had an older sibling they were close with and trusted with everything; she figured that, if it was something that was truly bad and Brooklyn wasn't just going through the average teenager's phase of depression, Dominic would tell her. At least, she hoped he would if she wouldn't. Now that most of her children had frown up and gone away, she always found herself more worried about them than when they had all lived under one roof. She was a mess; so many years of helping to manage so many rebellious kids had taken it's toll, but she would never trade those years for anything nor would she stop. She sighed, wondering if she should just take her anti-depressants and go to bed or try to talk to Brooklyn.

Dominic had been with Tricia, just laying on the couch and watching movies when he had gotten Brooklyn's text. "Trish, I gotta go. Brooklyn needs me." He already knew Tricia would let him go, because she knew he would always put his siblings first; but that didn't mean he was just going to get up and walk out without saying something. "I'll call you later." He gave her a kiss on the cheek and one on her pregnant stomach before leaving to pick up his sister. 'I'm on my way.'

Gordon looked a Jackie, trying to keep his the smile off his face. Unlike his wife, he knew they had raised their kids to take care of themselves and he knew they were fine; he was a lot less stressed out than Simone. Honestly, he had really become the nicer parent, believe it or not. "Oh, I don't know..."

"Dad, how's that even fair? When everyone lived here, there were no curfews." Nicholai smirked smugly. Though he was very young when everyone all lived together, he thoroughly remembered the chaos and lawlessness that seemed to be the way the Kaulitz-Trumpers lived in.

"Go and ruin it, Nick." Gordon joked, not letting the smile begin to cross his face. "Alright, you girls can stay up tonight in celebration of Jackie's perfect spelling test grade." He grinned at the girls.

[Abby! (:]

Brooklyn curled up and just let the tears fall. She needed her brother right now more than ever. She wanted Simone too, but she didn't really know what to say. Simone was already losing it as it was now. Things were different now though, it wasn't... it was weird. Though she had always been closer to her father then her mother it was still weird. She looked at her phone as Dominic came back 'Okay...'

Tricia looked up "Go tell the kids goodnight really quick at least." she kissed him and smiled "Baby says go daddeh go!" she giggled and then looked as a scream came from the other room. "Mommy, Patrick ate a bug!" Tricia's and Dominic's new family was blended, with his daughter Hayden and Tricia's two, Patrick and Courtnie. Tricia looked at her "If he gets sick, he gets sick. He most likely won't though." She stood, her belly was huge. They had already determined this pregnantcy wasn't twins, just a big baby. (Hahhahaha lies xD They just don't know it yet. Surprise!) "Say goodnight to your dad."

"YAY!" Jackie giggled and looked at her sisters "What do we want to do!?" She stood out of her seat. Katyna stared "It's your night to do the dishes so why not do that?" "SHut up Katyna." Grace glared.

[Stasya ♥]

Dominic laughed. "Patrick, Courtnie, don't be too much of a pain in your mom's side!" He gave them both a hug. "And don't eat bugs," he added, ruffeling Patrick's hair. "Hayden, same goes for you. Goodnight, small humans!"
It wasn't too much longer before he was back at his old home. 'I'm here. I'll stay out in the car so mom and dad don't try to pull me in. Come on.'

Gordon chuckled. "Now, come on. You guys have all night to worry about that." He winked, smiling.

[Abby! (:]

Brooklyn looked up as he got here. She went to walk out and ran into her mother 'I'm going out with Dominic' She signed, it was obvious she had been crying. It was very obvious, the glassy pale greenish eyes and a red, mascara tear stained face. Her multi colored hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail and she was biting her lip, always a sign something was wrong 'I'll be back... I'll tell you what's wrong then but I need to talk to him first.' She hated not being able to comunicate without words.

Katyna stared "You don't care if they do the dishes or not? That's not fair!" she adjusted her glasses "YOu can't suddenly do that!"

[Stasya ♥]

Simone looked at Brooklyn, a real look of worry coming over her face. It was obvious something was wrong and, though Simone had had a feeling before, now there was not a single doubt in her mind, which was now racing. Her daughter's expression said enough; she stood up and hugged her daughter. "Is he here?" She knew Dominic and Brooklyn were thick as thieves; every one of the kids had an older sibling they trusted with absolutely everything, and that was a big help when there were over twenty children living under one roof. Now, Simone regretted not being there for the kids when they needed help. This was one of the times that showed her.

Gordon laughed. "I didn't say that! What I meant was, it doesn't need to be done right this second. They're going to get done," he said, giving a pointed look to Grace, "but it doesn't have to be right now." Pointing his finger at his daughter, he poked his tongue out, "And with that attitude, you can help." He gave a sly smile.

[Abby! (:]

Brooklyn looked at her mother and nodded, not hugging her back. 'I love you mom' she said simply and got out of her mothers grip before walking out to the car 'Hey' she slipped in quickly and looked at him 'I want to get away from here... moms being clingy and I don't want to tell her yet' she felt a pang of guilt as she said that.

"Uh no." Katyna said and stood as she finished, placing her dishes in the sink "They can do it. They are just in denial. Nick and I have to do them, now they get to." she gave a smile "Sucks growing up doesn't it?" she gave an evil little smirk. It was her chore free day. She wasn't going to help! The child had taken Stasya's place and though she was better, then Stasya, she would never show any sympathy for her siblings.
