After meeting with her twin older brother's she'd been instructed to meet with the eldest. The meeting hadn't gone as plan, but with how her family was, she never really expected anything normal anymore. Once again she found that familiar feeling of anxiety wash over her the closer she got to her older brother's place. [break][break]

Following her Rotom phone as it led her to his place she began to pick at her nails. What if he took the news worse than CIAN MAHER and caden maher did? What if he didn't want to speak to her at all. She gasped. "What if he get's violent?" she stared down and looked at Wattson who tilted his head at her in confusion. [break][break]

Raelynn quickly shook her head and took a deep breath. It was fine, it would all be fine. She was a big girl and she could handle unexpected things....sometimes. It was just that, ever since finding out she had siblings, she had this idea in her head that they could all get along. It wasn't until now that she began to realize that, might not be the case. [break][break]

With another sigh, she stood still in front of the house. Suddenly it seemed way more intimidating in person than it had in her thoughts. With a gulp she slowly made her way up the steps to ring the doorbell on the door. Well, it was now or never. And it was too late to go back now that she was here. [break][break]

Even though she was sure she'd be able to book it out of here faster than he could reach the door. With another heavy sigh she looked down at Wattson. "Wish me luck bud," she said softly as she reached forward to press the doorbell. [break][break]

What if he got violent?

If Bo had been privy to such a concern, it would have stung. It wasn’t an uncommon one—nor was it unwarranted, considering his past assignments in Rocket.

Only he didn’t know, just like he had no idea who this kid with a Pikachu was on his doorstep when he went to answer the chime. It cracked at first.

“Uh… one sec.”

Then, he left to go return a Kabuto into its pokéball. It liked to get out at any given opportunity. Maybe it had somewhere else very important to be. Who knows? But Bo liked it, and it was staying here, because it was safe with him.

Soon enough he had reappeared at the door, and it was opened wider, but not welcoming wide, because it would be pretty fucking weird all things considered. Was this a friend of Roman’s, maybe? How did people know where he lived?

“Ya sellin’ something?”

The seconds leading up to the door opening felt long. In fact, the anxiety that was in the pit of her stomach moved to her throat and chest and she felt like she couldn't breathe. Right before the door opened her foot faltered and stepped backwards. She felt like, perhaps another day would be best. If she hurried she could still run and be out of sight before the door opened, she was fast after all.[break][break]

Then the door opened and she stood frozen with wide eyes on the stoop. The scruffy looking other guy that was supposed to be her older brother Bo stood there looking at her with a quizzical gaze. “Uh… one sec.” he said as he left allowing Raelynn a moment to catch her breath. "What do I do?!" she whispered fiercely to Wattson who just climbed up to rest on her head. He patted her head and she frowned. "That's not helping!" she whined, still whispering.[break][break]

That's when he returned and she straightened up once more. Her muscles were stiff and her palms were beginning to get sweaty. “Ya sellin’ something?” he asked and her heart sank a little. Of course he didn't know why she was hear. She was just some random kid on his doorstep so it was to be expected. [break][break]

"Erm, no," she said with a forced laugh as she stared at her feet. Clearing her throat a little she gulped. "You're Boruta Maher right?" she said as she fidgeted. "I-I was told to meet up with you." All of a sudden she felt her face flush before she squeezed her eyes shut. "Cian and Caden sent me!" she blurted out. "I...I'm..." [break][break]

How was she supposed to tell him. Reaching to her chest she pulled out the heart shaped locket from around her neck. Opening it, it had a picture of her and their father when she was younger. He'd given it to her as a gift when she was six. "I'm...my name's Raelynn....Maher." she said finally as showed him the picture.

CIAN MAHER, Roman Maher, and 1 more like this

His whole name. What?

To meet up with him. Huh?

CIAN MAHER and caden maher . What the fuck.

Oh. Rae Rançon . What the fuck.

Bo stared down at the photo, homing in on the face of his father and barely able to keep from leering in his shock. Their mother… what had she ever done to deserve this prick? This was the last straw. He was sure of it: he wouldn’t be able to hold back.

He blinked finally, shaking the adrenaline before looking back to… his sister. A kid, he’d thought more likely to know Roman Maher than himself.

He shut the door behind him. They’d be sitting on the porch, because, still, no, fuck that.

“Okay,” he breathed. “Let’s uh… sit out here.”

He sat on the stoop, peering across a small yard and down an empty street. His brow creased, and he pressed his thumb to his mouth in thought.

After a moment, “How old are you?”

Suddenly she missed having people that already knew the situation. Explaining this herself was much, much, much worse. And way more embarrassing to boot. Perhaps this was what her father had been sparing her from when CIAN MAHER and caden maher were involved. She honestly wasn't sure at this point. The only thing she was sure of, was that their family wasn't the cute little happy one she had imagined all these years.[break][break]

She watched Boruta's face as he came to understand just exactly who she was. She had prepared herself for the worst but he didn't hit her so maybe that was a good thing? He honestly seemed scary she couldn't believe she was just casually doing this on his doorstep with no supervision. Why had she agreed to come here alone again? She'd have to complain to the twins about this later. [break][break]

“Okay,” he breathed. “Let’s uh… sit out here.” Rae nodded as she shuffled to the side to make room for them to both sit on the stoop. She closed the locket with and sat down pretty stiffly, as she was still nervous. “How old are you?” he asked and she looked down at her hands in her lap. "Eleven..." she answered after a moment before biting her lip. Another long silence stretched out before them before she quickly turned to him and asked, "I'm not in trouble am I?" [break][break]

Her question was genuine as scared honey colored eyes stared back at Boruta. "Every time I tell one of you guys who I am you all have that same look in your face. But...no one will tell me why." She said as she turned her gaze downward again. "If I did something to make you all hate me I'd like to know, is all." she said the last bit softly, losing her bust of confidence almost as quickly as it had come.

bo’s expression softened.

“what? no. no, of course not.” he shook his head, realizing how he must have been coming off. “sorry… raelynn. this is just a really big surprise.”

watching her deflate was too painful. they were her older brothers, and all three of them had disappointed her already? made her question herself? well, that wasn’t right. his expression deepened into a frown.

“nobody hates you; i promise. you didn’t do anything.” dad did. motherfucker.

“cian and caden were probably just surprised, too. not every day you find out you have a little sister.”

he willed himself to smile over at her, which he found part easy and part difficult.

“what? no. no, of course not.” Boruta said with a shake of his head as his expression finally softened. Rae still looked at him warily though, like a puppy that wasn't sure if they would get yelled at again or not. “sorry… raelynn. this is just a really big surprise.” She hadn't been expecting an apology though. [break][break]

Her intention wasn't to make him upset so she shook her head too. "S'okay." she said meekly. “nobody hates you; i promise. you didn’t do anything.” It sure didn't feel like it sometimes but she supposed he was right. She couldn't think of anything she might've done to make them hate her anyway. She'd always made sure to be on her best behavior when interacting with her older brother's after all. [break][break]

“cian and caden were probably just surprised, too. not every day you find out you have a little sister.” he added with a small smile sent in her direction. She nodded solemnly again before picking at a corner of her dress with her nail. "I...I know its strange. Papa always told me that it was too difficult to introduce me to everyone." she admitted without looking in his direction. [break][break]

"It was why I was surprised when he said he told Caden and Cian. I can't figure out what he was thinking." she admitted with a frown while Wattson looked back at her with an equally worried expression. "But I never meant to mess anything up or make you guys mad at Papa." since relaying the information to Caden and Cian her father had been 'away' on business or something. So if her brothers didn't secretly hate her then it had to be directed towards their father. That's the only thing that made sense to her now. [break][break]

Despite the awkward situation she didn't want them to misunderstand. "Papa always protected me so please don't think too poorly of him." she said as she gripped her hands tightly in her lap. "Mama was...she wasn't a good..." Rae didn't talk about her mother much mostly because it felt like she didn't have one. The difficulty of speaking of her was relayed on her pained facial expression and inability to continue her train of thought.

too difficult. fuck him.

bo buried it, smiling instead. while he wasn’t good at hiding things in the moment, he was pretty good at pushing them back down and getting through in a way that made everything look fine. that made him look fine. a quality he’d inherited in part from their father, maybe.

hearing that his father had told cian and caden gave him conflicting feelings. on one hand, he was glad that they had finally received some honesty. but him? he’d found out like this.

“no, it’s okay raelynn. none of it’s your fault.” he wouldn’t lie to her and assure her that he wasn’t mad at their father. he was livid, but it was hidden.

he listened, and hearing about her mother made his face wince lightly in sympathy.

“hey…” he leaned down to catch her eyes. “don’t worry about it, okay? we’re family now. we got your back.”

with a sigh, he looked towards the door behind them. maybe it wouldn’t be the worst thing to invite her inside, even if it felt weird. maybe it would cheer her up in some way.

“want to go inside? or we could go for a walk, maybe find some food?”

Her mother was a sore topic. A lot of her insecurities that she now had stemmed from things that involved her mother. Even at a young age she knew that well. Just the thought of running into her mother again sent chills running down her spine and made her grow pale. But she felt the need to explain. [break][break]

For herself and for her father. Whatever was the issue she knew that their father messed up in some sort of form. But he wasn't a monster. She needed her brother's to understand that. Their father had sacrificed a lot to take care of her. If it wasn't for him Raelynn had no idea where she would be right now. [break][break]

Raelynn didn't even realize she had frozen and grown pale on the stoop she was sitting on. It wasn't till Boruta spoke again that her mother's death grip on her mind seemed to be removed. “hey…” he leaned down to catch her eyes. “don’t worry about it, okay? we’re family now. we got your back.”[break][break]

Rae's honey colored orbs trembled as she searched her older brother's gaze for some sort of catch or trick. When she couldn't find any she found herself confused. It was too good to be true right? Was it actually possible to have a good relationship with her family all things considered?[break][break]

The last thing Rae wanted to do was to let her guard down and end up seriously hurt. She'd already received the shock of her lifetime when she learned the 'truth' of all this. But she also desperately wanted to surround herself with loving family members. For too long she'd been either alone or ridiculed and verbally abused day in and day out. Wasn't it about time things started looking up for her? Didn't she deserve that much?[break][break]

“want to go inside? or we could go for a walk, maybe find some food?” as soon as he mentioned food Raelynn's stomach growled loudly. So loud she was sure that Boruta heard it considering he was sitting right beside her. She stared down at her stomach in horror before her face turned beet red. Her crimson flush even reaching the tips of her ears. [break][break]

"Um..." she said before glanced over at him. "Food sounds nice." she said with a sheepish grin. "That is, if you're sure it's okay." she really wanted to do her best not to step on any toes. If things were going to go well she wanted to protect her fragile relationship with her brother's as much as possible.
