I'm going to aim for finishing this book around chapter 30 or maybe 35, it all depends on how long it takes me to get to the ending.

I've been milking this fic for so long now that I'm even surprised that people have gotten this far without giving up in boredom. I myself have loved writing for this but I simply don't have the time or effort to write for this anymore and the characters that I have developed are up for retirement with age.

I'm also maturing with what I write and I'm focusing on different fandoms, as well as hopefully - and eventually - producing my own book that isn't based around a fan fiction or a ship that I am really excited about!

Therefore, enjoy what Is left of this fic before I have it finished (:

"I'm telling dad."

"Don't you fucking dare."

"He's going to find out!"Olivia throws her arms dramatically in the air as she looks at her two brothers and Axel who also happened to be dragged into this. She had gotten her Uncle Zayn to drop her home early to deal with this crisis with them, the four of them all crowded in the kitchen as their uncle Niall uses the bathroom, where he has been for the last hour.

Sometimes she wishes for a less dysfunctional family, one that doesn't scream at one another at 3am because somebody stole the last packet of Oreos or have hidden kitchen talks because their uncle has just appeared out of the blue and is in need of a house to crash in because he can't take up his own responsibilities. But looking at the insight of other families, Olivia knows that her family seems to be the best out of the lot.

In so many different ways, she feels so much more mature than her two brothers - and Axel - despite two of them being older than she is, and who wouldn't be after all that she has been through? She's been through hell and back at such a young age, from having to deal with the constant - and happy - changes that her body has went through as she transitioned and the bullying that occurred on the way. She didn't let it get to her, and her parents were so proud of her.

"He won't find out!"

"What? So are we just going to let out estranged uncle hide out in our attic like a fucking squatter until when? He gets off his ass and take up some responsibilities for once in his life? Because we're going to be waiting until Andy goes to fucking college, and by looking at his current grades, that's going to take 10 years."

"Hey!"Adrian pipes up, offended that he's being picked on. His grades might not be the best, but h isn't no failure and he'll get himself into college just like everyone else.

"She has a point."Axel shrugs from where he sits on the kitchen counter, a leg crossed under his bum as he eats an apple. It's an act that would have him swatted out of the kitchen if Louis was here, but he isn't and as much as he's afraid of his Uncle Louis, the man loves him to pieces.

"Of course I do."She rolls her chocolate brown eyes, looking between the three boys in front of her."So which one of you is going to do it?"

"Do what?"Fletcher asks, leaning against the counter where Axel sits, almost leaning on the blonde. An act that doesn't go unnoticed by Olivia and Adrian who give eachother a knowing look that gives by unsaid.

"Tell Uncle Niall to get out."

"Don't look at me, I don't even live here."Axel is holding up his hands, eyes wide because he doesn't live here - despite his constant presence in the house since he never seems to leave - and he isn't going to be roped into having to quick Niall out of a house that he doesn't even live in.

"I'm not doing it,"Adrian shakes his head whenever Fletcher and Olivia both turn to look at him, because this might have all started because he made the mistake of opening the front door after his nap but that does not make it his fault.

"You're the eldest, you do it."Olivia is shoving the responsibility onto Fletcher who after all is the eldest sibling."Papa and Dad left you in charge, therefore, this is your responsibility."

"I think you should do it, you are far more mature than any of us here."Fletcher sulks, rolling his eyes as he looks at his younger sister. Olivia all but gives her big brother a look, the type of look that she has inherited after years of shadowing her Papa."For fucksake, fine! I'll do it!"

Pushing himself away from the kitchen counter, Fletcher is throwing Glares over his shoulder after his younger siblings and at Axel as he walks out of the kitchen and go and tell his uncle Niall that he has to get out. Deep down, he feels bad for doing this because despite what he has done, his uncle Niall has done so much for Fletcher in his life and after all, is probably his favourite uncle.

He's about to take the first step up the stairs when he here's the jiggle of the front door, making his head snap over in alert at the front door, his eyes wide in panic as the door is opened, followed by the familiar sound of his parents.

"You're fucking ridiculous, Liam."

"It was not my fault."

"What? So the deer jumped in front of the car, did it?"

"That can't possibly be the reason why you're fucking mad, Louis."Liam pinches the bridge of his nose as he closes the front door with a slam that echoes through the house. They were supposed to go out on a romantic weekend together, mostly because they both needed the break and Liam wanted to be shown as as loving as possible, because he does after all love his husband an awful lot.

"Of course it fucking isn't. I'm mad at you because after you hit that deer, you then thought it was the perfect timing to start feeling me up in the passenger seat of the car, as if we hadn't just watched you murder a fucking deer!"

As much as he was looking forward to spending a weekend of having sex and genuinely spending time with his husband without three teenagers in the house, after witnessing Liam hit a deer on their way to the rented cottage, it had but Louis off of the idea of sex. Liam had just made it worse when he wouldn't take no as an answer until Louis had shouted at him.

"Look, it wasn't my faul-"Liam stops whenever he notices Fletcher standing on the staircase, haven been listening to his parents conversation since the two walked into the house and wishing that he hadn't."How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough,"He's scrunching up his face in disgust, shaking his head. His hands are sweating as he holds onto the banister."I would ask why you're back so early but I've already heard, and I don't want to relive the mental image."

"Sorry, blue."Louis smiles sympathetically at his eldest.

Despite their growing age, both Louis and Liam are still handsome and good looking at their age, and they should be. It's not as if they are that old, they're still young in the eyes of many people and after all they are fit and healthy which also helps to their stature and looks. Louis still remains with his more dainty, curvy figure and Liam is still broad shouldered and hard around the middle.

As much as his parents have their differences, there's one thing the Fletcher can say is that his Papa and Dad sure do love each other. They may argue over which direction is best, leading them to get lost or his dad may get kicked to the sofa every other night because he opens his mouth when he shouldn't, but they love each other. And Fletcher hopes he gets a marriage like that.

"It's fine, um, I'm going to my room. Olivia and Adrian are in the kitchen."He informs awkwardly, already turning to head up the rest of the floors, just as one of the doors upstairs is opening and causing Liam and Louis to raise their eyebrows in confusion.

"Who else is here?"Liam is asking with a raised eyebrow, shrugging off his coat and hanging it up on a coat hanger by the door. Fletcher curses under his breath.

"Oh, um it's just Axel. He needed to use the shower because uncle Michael and uncle Cal's water is off."Fletcher is making up a lie on the spot, and he wishes that he hadn't because Axel makes it his grandest moment to walk through he archway in search for him.

"What's taking you so lon- Hey Uncle Louis, Uncle Liam."Axel is cutting himself off whenever he spots his uncles at the door, looking at Axel and then to Fletcher who is flushing in embarrassment at haven been caught lying."You're back early?"

"We are,"Louis acknowledges, nodding slowly as he looks at the two before he focuses his attention back to Fletcher who has seemed to try and sneak his way up the stairs."Don't you dare try and sneak away. Who is upstairs?"

"Nobody!"

"There's obviously someone. So you tell me who it is, or I'll go upstairs and find out myself."Louis threatens, looking at the two teenagers and suddenly wondering where his other two are that. It wouldn't be surprising if they're eavesdropping.

"No!"Both Axel and Fletcher are shouting quickly, they're faces flushed red because they're caught out, it's a shoe in that they have been. Neither boy is the most subtle when it comes to things like hiding secrets. In Fletchers case, it was different when he was doing things that he shouldn't.p, but this is not one of those times.

"That's it-"

"Papa, don't- Just it's, it's uncle Niall. Okay? He popped up on the doorstep earlier and needed somewhere to stay for a couple of days, we thought you'd be gone for a couple of days so you wouldn't even have noticed."Fletcher spills, unable to hold it in any longer.

"Wait, so you're telling me that Niall is here? In this house?"Liam is speaking to clarify, his expression stone cold which makes his tone of voice. It wasn't hatred that he had, but anger because as much as Niall is a good bloke - most of the time - he had hurt Louis. When they nod, he continues,"I want him out."

"Dad, listen to me-"

"Fletcher, I don't care. I don't want this man in my house or under my roof. He had disappeared without telling anyone and made us all believe the worse for a long time. He's irresponsible and immature and I don't want him here, especially not after how he hurt your papa."

"But he didn't hurt us. I know that he hurt you,"Fletcher looks at his Papa, with all sincereness in his eyes, blue meeting blue."But he didn't hurt us, and he's still our uncle who is in need of a home and help. Please, it'll just be for two days and then he'll be out, I promise."

I wanted to update so I have time tomorrow to update something else.
