Gabby tried not to laugh. Danny walked over to the trash to throw away her empty juice box after finishing it and while she was gone, Gabby looked at Ryan. "Keep her happy and you and I are cool."

Ryan nodded. "I will do my best."

"Good." Her eyes narrowed as she saw Nick walk up to Danny. "Danny told me about him. We hate him right?"

He smirked at the fact that she said 'we'. Evidently he was part of the team now. "I detest him, but Danny's so so." He turned to Nick who was talking to her, both of them laughing.

"So, about that dinner I promised you. If you like, both your sister and Ryan can come."

"No thank you. After everything...I really think Gabby will try to kill you. She has a temper. And I just started seeing her loosen up on Ryan." She paused. "About...what you said in his apartment...we don't have plans for marriage and I would really appreciate it if you didn't tell people we are...you know..." she blushed. "It's not that big of a deal since most all the girls have slept with him...but...I'm special to him and he's special to me..."

"I see. So...he loves you?" He eyed her face, judging by her reaction he'd hit the nail on the head.

"Um..." She glanced over at Ryan. Gabby and he were staring hard atand Danny, like watch dogs. She wasn't sure if Ryan would be ok with her telling Nick that he said he loved her. "You should ask your brother."

"My brother isn't all that fond of me," he said. "He resents me for cutting him out of the family business so we don't get along all that well."

"Oh...I see. Is that all?"

"No. I'd like to do something nice for you and my brother; it's just that I have no idea what I should do."

"No...I meant...is that the only reason he resents you?"

He hesitated and shook his head. "No...there are others, but it's not my place to say those."

"Well, to give you a hint at what you can do...you can learn some manners and learn to respect him. Just because he's your brother doesn't mean that you have to right to treat him as if he's second rate. If you disrespect him, you are slapping me in the face as well." She shifted her bag.

He smiled at that. "That's something a wife says about her husband. Not a girl about her boyfriend."

"I'm not afraid to say I love him. He's very important to me. If he is hurting, I hurt. If he is disrespected, I'm disrespected."

"My family believes that respect is given when respect is earned. My brother has done nothing to earn my respect," he explained softly. "I do not mean to seem rude, that is just how my family is. It is a policy if you will...like your family's policy regarding bastards...."

Her eyes widened. Gabby took a step towards them, noticing Danny's tension. "How...how do you know about my family?"

"My family thrives on secrets and knowledge," he said sweetly. "I did not realize that little topic was one that was a sore subject to you."

"I would appreciate it if you stop digging in my life," she said softly. Suddenly Gabby grabbed her hand.

"Watch where you step," she warned Nick.

"I am simply watching out for my brother," he told her. "No different than the way you look out for your sister."

"No, you aren't. It's not hard to see the hatred in your eyes. Stay away from Danny. You only get one warning before it gets physical." She took Danny's bag and pulled her inside, thrusting Danny's bag at Ryan. "Danny said you don't carry her book. Learn to be a boyfriend." Gabby continued to class with Danny as Danny pouted softly.

Ryan glared at Nick who shrugged innocently. Tossing Danny’s bag over his shoulder as well, he started to the class to check on her.

At lunch, the twins sat down at the normal table. Gabby played with Danny's short blond hair. "I'm thinking about dying my hair again. The black is getting old."

"I like the black dye on you. It looks nice."

"Really?" She smiled. "And the length?"

"We are identical twins. If it wasn't for you dying your hair black and keeping it long and your glasses, people wouldn't be able to tell us apart."

"Maybe for Halloween I'll cut my hair, dye it back natural blond, and dress as a pregnant girl. Then we could look alike for one day." Danny laughed. "Did you tell Ryan our birthday is a few days away?"

"Oh...I forgot."

Ryan plopped down beside Danny, he had an actual school lunch for once today. No ripping off other people. "You forgot what?"

"Our birthday. It's two days away."

Ryan's jaw dropped. "What!? Really!?"

"It's not easy remembering it when you are pregnant and Halloween is in the same month."

"It's getting really cold out. For now on we should eat inside."

He sighed. There went his costume money. He didn't have all that much left in his allowance. What was he going to get her. "Halloween is in a few weeks.... Are you both planning on going to the Costume Ball thingy...?"

"No."

"No."

He nodded. "So no costumes for Halloween?"

"No."

"No."

He pouted at that. "Not even a little?"

They both smiled. "We use to have the best costumes ever! But it's a little harder to find something nice when you are pregnant."

"So this year, we are just going to stay home."

"Well why don't we have a costume party at your house? Just the three of us...or four if you wanted to invite that Jessy guy."

"It's not much of a party when there are only a few of us."

"I know. It's just....I really like Halloween," he said. He didn't want to spend it cooped up in a house.

Gabby looked at Danny. "I'm sure we can find something for you to wear. Let's go to the ball."

Ryan paused. Was Gabby trying to do something nice...for him!? He stared at her with a frown. "What did you do with the real Gabby?"

"Don't push it! I'm trying here!"

He shut his mouth and nodded, slightly hiding behind Danny.

Danny laughed. "Alright. After school we can look at some catalogues for something. I want to buy Ryan's too since I still owe him." Gabby nodded.

Ryan smiled and poked her. "You don't have to pay me back," he said. Though he said that to be nice, he was really hoping she would so he would have money to get her something.

"No, I insist! I plan on buying you a whole winter wardrobe too."

He laughed at that. "You really don't have to do that. I don't think I'd look good in leather undies," he teased, still wondering what she did with those.

She blushed. "What the hell is he talking about?!!"

"Oh Gabby! Don't bring it up!"

Ryan smirked and shrugged. "When I bought her clothes and lingerie I got her some leather undies and vibrating panties that I still haven't gotten to use or enjoy."

"Danny!"

"Ryan!"

"What!? At the time I thought it would be fun! I still think it would be. What did you do with them?"

"I'm done!" Danny said with burning cheeks. Gabby followed after her asking a million questions as Danny started inside.

Ryan just doubled over in laughter. It was so much fun to tease her. A million thoughts ran through his mind with what kind of costume she was going to get. Naughty nurse? French maid? Leather dominatrix? He shuddered. Good times.

At gym, Danny and Gabby sat in the heated pool talking about costume ideas. Finally they got a great idea. Of course, it was going to be a secret.

Ryan leaned over the edge, draping an arm around both of them. "You are plotting something," he said as he looked between them. "What are you two talking about?"

"None of your business."

"Costumes."

Gabby pulled at Danny's suit, trying to cover her breasts more. "We really need to get you another suit."

Ryan squeezed one of her breasts beneath the water. "We should go today after school. I like seeing you trying on skimpy stuff."

Gabby pulled him in the water and held his head under. "Stop touching her!"

"Gabby! You'll drown him!" Danny yelled and pulled Gabby from Ryan.

Ryan came up, gasping for air. "Can't...breath!" he said as he floated, choking on water. "Need...mouth to...mouth!"

"Ryan!"

"Oh let him die."

"Gabby!"

"He's faking!"

Ryan pouted as he wiped the water from his face. "I could have drowned and you would have let me!" He looked at Gabby with a mortified expression.

"Yeah, you are right. I would have."

He rolled his eyes and moved over to Danny, wrapping his arms around her and laying his head on the back of her shoulder. "Your sister is a witch," he muttered.

From the bleachers Nick watched all of this. Taking notes on them all.

"There there," she patted his head.

"This love thing is sick."

Ryan laughed. "Oh you'll get over it. Who knows. Maybe one day we'll be related," he teased.

Danny blushed with a soft smile. Gabby groaned. She went underwater to drown herself. Ryan just smirked and turned Danny in his arms to kiss her crimson cheeks. She brushed her fingers over his face. Her head went to his shoulder and for a moment, she forgot where she was and who was there. Her lips pressed to his neck. He shuddered and moaned, leaning against the back of the pool. Gabby quickly grabbed Danny and pulled her from him with a warning glare. Danny pouted.

Ryan sighed and rubbed the spot where she kissed him. "We were just having fun."

"Look, as much as I like her happy, I don't want her expelled for doing it in the pool."

"We weren't going to do it," he said defensively. Though as he looked at her tight suit, he wondered if they could. He could almost see the outlines of her lips.

"Right..." Danny just stood there against Gabby with a flushed face. She looked over at the stands and saw Nick.

As their eyes met, Nick waved slowly to her. A calm smile on his lips as he talked to someone on a cell phone. "Don't worry. I'll make certain that he doesn't do anything to embarrass you father."

She raised her hand and waved back.

Ryan followed her gaze and frowned at Nick. Without a word he crawled out of the pool and walked over to where he was. "Let me talk to him," he said as he held out his hand for the phone.

Nick shrugged and handed him the cell.

"What is he doing here?" Ryan asked as soon as his father answered.

"He's making certain that you don't fuck up like before. What's this about you getting a girl pregnant?"

"It's not mine. She's having someone else's kid," Ryan stated.

"That's even worse. Get rid of her."

"No!"

His father grew annoyed. "You never had the balls to do anything that needed to be done. Yet you ordered a hit on eight kids? What the hell was that about?"

"It wasn't a hit. It was a...reeducation program of sorts," he muttered.

"Well they're dead and I had to pay off the cops to keep them from nosing around. I don't want Nick turning into a fuck up like you. So he's here to learn from your mistakes."

Gabby rubbed Danny's back as they watched the two brothers. Gabby's eyes narrowed. She was an expert lip reader.

"I haven't made any mistakes!" Ryan snapped.

"You're right. You're the mistake," his father said, making Ryan go quiet.

"If you didn't want me, you should have had me aborted or killed my mother. Either would have been acceptable to you."

"If I had known that whore was pregnant with you then I would have. She didn't tell me till you were born and she was smart enough to know that I would off her if she didn't play by my rules. You're alive because I let you live. Don't think that I can't change that."

Ryan hung up, not wanting to hear anymore of it. He thrust the phone to Nick who just smirked as Ryan walked away and started heading for the locker room.

"Go change and get ready." Danny nodded and they got out of the pool Danny went to the girls locker room but Gabby went after Ryan. She locked the door behind her. "You're a bastard."

Ryan looked up, he was changing and naked at the current moment. "What did I do now?" he asked, turning his back to her as he reached for his boxers.

"No...I mean your mother was a mistress or just some girl your father fucked."

He paused. "Yeah. She was his mistress."

"Danny doesn't know, but I'm sure you know that she can't keep the baby because it's a bastard. If she knew who you were...it would ruin everything."

"Why does that matter?" He asked as he looked up at her. "I am who I am. Isn't that enough?"

"You don't understand...if Dad were to find out she was with you, most likely he would force your father to make you marry her...however...once he found out that you are a bastard...Danny will never be forgiven. He will throw her out. Take everything from her and put her on the streets."

Ryan frowned and closed his eyes. He tugged on his jeans and shook his head. "Then he just won't find out."

"We both know Danny isn't a good liar. You can never tell her. Not ever. Not until she's eighteen and has enough money to support herself. If she knew before then, lying to our father about it would be impossible for her."

"Well it's not like I go around shouting it from the rooftops. How in the hell did you find out?"

"I read lips. I picked it up in juvy."

"Wonderful...." He looked back at her as he grabbed his shirt. "What I said stays between us."

"Do you think I want people knowing? My sister is going against her family to be with you. She's risking her whole life. Remember that next time you are rubbing up on her in public," she said with cold eyes. She unlocked the door and walked to the girls locker room to change out.

Ryan shook his head. Could this day get any worse? Scratch that. He really didn't want to know.

Gabby and Danny walked home after that. The adoption agency was already there. Danny was sat down and was told about how everything would happen. She would never meet the adopted parents in person and she would never know the sex or see the baby. He job was only to deliver and carry it. A pen was handed to her and she hesitated as she looked at the paper.

Ryan paced the floor of his room for what seemed like forever. He needed to see Danny. To clear his head. Grabbing his keys he drove down to their house and used his key to let himself in.

Gabby, Danny, and the adoption agency looked up at Ryan walked in. Danny's hand tightened on the pen. "Need we remind you that your father and mother have already signed? You have no choice."

"She just needs a fucking minute!"

"No..." Danny whispered and put the pen on the paper. "I understand." Slowly, she started signing.

"What's...going on?" Ryan asked, setting his coat on the hook he walked into the living room, curious who those people were.

Danny finished signing and the papers were taken then the pen. "We will see you on your due date. Goodbye, Ms. Daniela and Ms. Gabriela." They nodded to Ryan before leaving. Gabby softly rubbed Danny's back.
