Jacob reluctantly led the two girls up stairs to his room he shared with James. James was lying on his bed, doing his homework when they came into the room. He sat up as he caught sight them and laid his homework down on the desk, raising his eyebrows questioningly at his twin.

"Nikki lied to mom saying we have a group project together, so now they're stuck here, for the next four hours." Jacob said dully. James stood.

"Well, tough luck Bro, I'm going to go hang with Mist." He said. He went to leave, but Sara stopped him.

"If you don't stay here, I'll tell your mom that you're also in on the project." She said. James' eyes widened and he glared at all three of them.

"That's just cruel. Keeping a man from his poor mare." James grumbled as he sat down on his bed. "What are we suppose to do for the next four hours?!?"

"You could show us around, maybe give us some riding lessons." Sara suggested flirtatiously. James gave her a small look of disgust.

"The day I let you near my horse is the day you can shoot me in the head." He spat. Jacob smiled a bit.

"I'd stay away from his mare. he's pretty protective of her." Jacob said.

"Well why can't we use yours?" Sara said. James let out a bark of laughter.

"You really want to ride his horse? The wild mustang that three fourths of the west coast voted for her to be put to death?" He said Sara rose an eyebrow.

"Then why isn't she dead?" She asked. Jacob gave her a fierce glare.

"Because our step dad can be convincing." James said. James laid down on his bed, staring up at the ceiling.

"The gender reveal party is tomorrow, Jake. What do you think Gin's baby will be?" He asked, ignoring the fact that the girls were in the room also.

"I don't know. I guess a girl." He said.

"Who are you talking about?" Sara asked.

"Our older sister is pregnant. They'll tell us the gender tomorrow at the shindig the Johnson's are throwing." He said.

"Do those Johnson's happen to be related to my sub in Spanish?" Nikki asked. The twins nodded.

"He's our brother-in-law. It's his baby." Jacob said. Nikki nodded her understanding.

"That's why Mil is always talking to him!" She said. The twins nodded.

"Come on, we can go into the barn to talk at least." Jacob said standing. James and Jacob led the girls into the barn and the boys sat on the hay bails while Nikki and Sara stood, looking over some of the horses. They barely talked at all during the next three hours. At around six thirty, Alex called them in for dinner. James and Jacob sat akwardly next to Sara and Nikki while they made light conversation with Alex and David. The quiet crying to Lucy from the other room was what saved the twins. They both push and shoved each other to be the first on to the nursery. Lucy stopped crying as she saw her brothers fighting to get to her crib, and it made her giggle. Jacob got to her first and picked her up as she was clinging to Puppy. James glared at Jacob and walked back to the dining room, while Jacob and Lucy followed. When Jacob sat down at the table, Lucy hid her face in his chest. Nikki smiled at Lucy.

"I thought Jacob said he had only two little sisters." She said turning to Alex. Alex shook her head.

"Lucy here is only four months old. She came to live with us about a week or so ago." Alex said. Nikki rose an eyebrow.

"So she's adobted?" She asked.

"Well, she is by us. Though she is my four oldests children's sister." She said. Nikki was now even more confused, and much to Nikkis surprise, Sara cleared it up.

"Lucy has the same father as them, but she's not related to the Maxwell's." Sara said. Nikki bit her lip.

"Then why is she here?" Nikki asked. Jacob gripped Lucy tighter and glared at Sara, shaking his head in her direction. He didn't want Nikki of all people, knowing that his father was dead. Sara glared back at him, she was obviously still mad he broke up with her, this would be her revenge.

"Her parents are dead. Killed in a car crash about two weeks ago. Jake hasn't told you yet?" Sara asked her. Nikki stared at her in horror. Jacob stood, still holding Lucy, and left, glaring at everyone in the room.

"Jake is still sensitive about the whole thing. His father and step mother was killed, it was very unexpected." Alex said. "We try to not talk about it around him." She said glaring at Sara.

"How do you know anyway?" Jewel asked Sara.

"I lived in Miami with Jake before I came here. We were really good friends." She said. James noticed how she put emphasis on the word Friends.

"Oh... so you knew Collin and Hayley also?" Alex asked. Sara nodded.

"Yes. They were really good people. It's so sad Jake and Lucy had to loose them." She said. Alex rose an eyebrow.

"Yes, both of them." She said. they ate in silence the rest of the meal, and Sara and Nikki left afterwards.

The next morning, Jacob barely spoke to anyone. He kissed his mother and Lucy goodbye and then he and James went to go pick up the girls. Mil and stayed at Brooks overnight. The car ride was silent also.

That afternoon, Jacob was getting his books back out of his locker after lunch, just to be approached by none other then Sara.

"Hi Jake!" She said smiling innocently. Jacob ignored her and shut his locker, proceeding to walk away, but she grabbed his arm. "What's your problem?" She scoffed, forcing him to look at her. He glared at her.

"My problem? You told Nikki that my parents were dead over dinner last night!" He snapped. She was slightly taken aback.

"Why did you keep it a secret in the first place?" She asked. He rolled his eyes, ignoring the question and went to walk away, but she grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him down to her level, kissing him on the lips.

Frank, Nikkis little brother, was standing nearby when he looked over and saw Jacob kissing the new girl, Sara. He quickly pulled out his phone and snapped a picture, right before Jacob shoved her away and stormed off, looking flustered. Frank smiled, looking down at the picture. He quickly typed up a small message and sent it to his sister. Nikki replied happily and Frank smirked as he walked off to his next class, knowing his sister had some bad intentions with that picture, intentions that would surely ruin Jacob and Brook.

The picture on the side is of Dove Cameron, Who is Sara.
