I close the wall and open the door slowly but when I see who is behind the door I loosen my grip on the bat and look the person who shouldn't be here.

"What? Something on my face?" He gives me a cheeky smile.

"Yeah a stupid goof, really Daniel why are you here and at this late at night?" He shrugs then pulls his hand from behind his back and hands me a bouquet of flowers. Not basic red roses but a bouquet of lavender and other purple flowers that aren't your every other day basic flowers.

"Aww, okay you're forgiven," I chuckle and take the flowers from him. He chuckles which makes his dimples show.

"I know, I'm so amazing I can get the famous Hope to forgive me," he smiles with a sigh.

Whatever I thought and rolled my eyes. "Whatever you have to tell yourself to sleep at night," he chuckles again then gives me a kiss on the cheek.

"Ewwwwwe cooties," I hear Tyler call from behind the wall and I turn to see all of them running away and back into the kitchen.

"Umm who are they?" He lets his head tilt a little like a confused puppy and squint his eyes.

"Those are some guys from my school who I was doing a project with and their car is broke down so now we wait till a tow truck opens in the morning," I smile but am frowning and using a monotone voice deep down.

"Oh, I see well where are the kids?" He raises an eyebrow but whispered the sentence.

"They're in the kitchen enjoying their and your favorite meal," he stops.

"Lasagna?" He says I nod and he starts walking even faster into the kitchen I shake my head at him.

"Hello kids," he says very loudly while standing right behind them. But they only turn and look at him and keep stuffing their mouths.

"It's too good to even give me a hello kiss?" He looks down at them.

They look to him and nod their heads and Daniels mouth gaps open until he sighs. "Well actually your right it's Mama's food we're talking about of course you wouldn't," he smiles and ruffles their hair. Then turn and goes into the kitchen with me following behind him to put the flowers in a vase and the guy's curious eyes following our every move until they lose sight of us when we enter the kitchen.

"So why are you here?" I ask him as I place the flowers down to find the vase.

"What I can't visit my favorite girl in the whole world...don't tell Iris I said that," thought about it then realized if she heard he would be in for a sassy treat.

"No, so why are you here and not looking after your big house," I hint to the organization in Florida that he runs for me and in every state is a different person but they get all their orders from me. I call them the Knights and every Knight has a to come to their Queen, which is me of course and get direct orders.

"My big house is fine I have someone else looking over it now and I trust them very much," I squint my eyes at him. "It's just my lil bro who had become a fine young man with the guidance from me of course," the goofy cockiness is just rolling off of him.

"Did your ego get worse while you were away cause I swear I called you not too long ago and I didn't need to throw up this much," I smirk.

He gives me a taken back look and fans his face like he is trying not to cry. "I can not believe you said that I don't know if I can move here to LA anymore," he fake sniffles.

"What did you say your moving here??!?" When I notice the words he said.

"Yeah I didn't want the whole distance thing anymore so here I am awaiting my hug," he spreads out his arms allowing me to jump into them with joy.

"Yes, this is great where are you moving to?" I ask I hope he has already got a place to stay.

"Just a few neighborhoods from here," he smiles. "Oh, but can I stay the night my stuff still hasn't arrived yet?" He asks already knowing the answer as I have noticed some bags by the door when he came in with the flowers.

"Of course," I smile and then grab his hand and we walk into the dining room to see the kids and the guys were not there anymore so we went into the living room to see them all playing twister the kids on one mat the guys on another. Hunter was the one on the side spinning the color wheel.

"Left hand, green," he says then looks over and noticed us along with everyone else as we walked closer to them.

"So what's happening," Daniel says and sits on the ground with Hunter, I sit between them.

"We are playing Twister but it's twins against twins," Hunter answers with a smile before flicking the wheel again. "Red, left foot but whoever wins I'll take them out for ice cream but if that's not okay with you I'll just give them 10 dollars each," he shrugs.

"That's so cute, look at them all twisted and bent." I laugh lightly.

"We're going to win mum and then give the money to you," Owen says while trying to stay upright with Iris over him.

"I don't think I can hold on," Ryan says while turning a little red.

"No you can do it, man, just hold on a little longer you can't give up on me now I need that free ice cream." I shake my head at how serious Tyler sounds.

"He really sounds so serious, he knows it's just a small game," I say and Hunter turns me with a straight face.

"This is not a small game this is life or death," he says.

"Yeah mum, this is war," Iris chants.

"Well how about if everyone gives up now I will give you all 20 bucks each," I didn't hear anything else except for grunts when they let go and ran over to me even Hunter turned to me.

"You're being serious right?" Tyler asks.

"Yeah but the twins get a 50 that they have to spill," they nod their heads generously.

I take my bag that was next to the coffee table and get my wallet and give everyone a 20 dollar bill but the twins got one 50 dollar bill that they would spilt as I said. "Okay now that you have all been paid it's time for bed kids first and then I'll show the guys to their rooms so let's gooooooo," I motion and use my hand as a pretend gun as though it was a race and the twins were off.
