       her freckled step-sister can’t help but smile down at the brunette, before BENDING to her level and opening her arms to hug her. “ happy canada day, marti. ”

          Tadashi can’t help the smile that crosses           his face. He just absolutely loves kids and           their endless curiosity. He wants to have a           child or two someday, now’s just a bad time           to settle down with someone.

“I’m FINE.... I’m coping.” He wasn’t convincing himself, he didn’t SOUND fine. He gulped before looking up at his sibling. He liked NORA... they couldn’t have asked for a better step-mom. She was kind and actually seemed to CARE. He just wished he had called her MOM. However, thinking of their DAD, made the tears want to fall down his cheek. Their dad who did EVERYTHING he could, GEORGE VENTURI, who would often joke ( badly ), play guitar ( badly), cook (badly). It didn’t matter how BAD their dad was at a lot of things, he still TRIED and now they’d never listen to his jokes, his guitar playing or eat his cooking again and that’s all Edwin wanted. He WANTED his parents back. His dad and n... his mom. He wanted to watch the game on the couch, he even wanted to help NORA like he did when they were decorating that basement room. He just wanted his PARENTS back.                                                                                                                               “I’m  F I N E.” ( not I’m not. )

“Well, since YOU get away with everything. Maybe we should use your APPARENT cuteness, even if Lizzie and I can be just as cute... if we wanted, but we don’t.”
