Lora woke up at 6:30 monday morning, she groaned and got up. She went toward the shower, she took a quick shower, she hadn't meant to sleep so late. She dressed and brushed her hair not having time to really dry it. She got her stuff and ran out of the house, she got into her bug and drove off toward the daycare before she would be late.
She made it there with 10 minutes to spare, she sighed and got her work ready. She greeted all of her children as they came in, she was to have 5 children alone today, no help, but she could handle it. She watched as everyone washed their hands and got ready for breakfast. She wished she would have alittle help.
She got her children sat down and eatting breakfast, she had to sit down. She was already whooped and seriously had only been there 15 or so minutes. She didn't know if she could handle 5 children alone when she had never been alone before now.

Steve rolled out of bed about seven he smiled happily thinking of Jessi. She was doing so much better and she was going to be getting out of the hospital soon. He had promised her not to show up at the hospital until visiting hours tonight. It was his day off from school and from rounds at the hospital. He got in the shower and took a quick one then got out, dried off and shaved. He dressed in jeans and a t-shirt and grabbing his keys. He got in his black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. He stopped at McDonald's and picked up a couple of Steak Bagel combos. Steve figured that Lora hadn't eaten and he hadn't visited the daycare in a while. He missed helping out with the kids so he thought he would help out today.
He pulled his car up next to Lora's and got out grabbing the food and sodas and walked into her classroom. He leaned down and kissed her cheek. "Hey sis, need some help today?" He asked softly as he handed her food and coke to her. "Eat, Dr's orders." He said softly. "You look worn out Lora I'm worried about you."

Lora jumped as she saw her brother and laughs "hey bro thanks" she ate and chugged down the coke. She had been thristy and very hungry, she had been running around so much she had barely any time to sit down and rest anymore. She looked at Steve and smiles as she looks at all of the children, they liked Steve alot because she and he did stuff with them, and let them have fun.
She looked at Steve and smiles "it's great to have you here bro, you haven't been around as much since Jessi got in the hospital" she looks down. She continued working as she starts picking up some of the toys and stuff putting them back in their right places. She got the dishes up after breakfast and started washing them.
She turned and watched Steve as he took the kids outside to play. She smiled and wondered how he would be when she had her own children with the guy she finally imprints on. She finished up with the dishes and put them up as she walked outside with everyone and watched them all play. She fet good to have a breather just for alittle bit.

Steve smiled. "Ok Kids who wants Uncle Steve's piggyback rides?" He laughed as they all jumped up and down shouting "me, me!" "Ok you all know the drill, line up and you each get one ride around the playground." He was running around with the last kid on his back when Lora came out.
He put little Johny down and smiled softly walking over to Lora. "Jessi's doing better. Carlisle's discharging her tomorrow." He said softly. "Can you believe graduation's in a week? A week from today I will officially be a doctor!" he said excitedly. "Oh and I did get that job I applied for working under Carlisle." He smiled happily.
He hugged his sister. "I'm worried about you Lora, you're working too hard and not eating right." He whispered. He hoped she found her imprint soon. Jessi had been his lifesaver. She made his life so amazing and Steve wanted that for his sister.

Lora smiled halfly when Steve mentioned Jessi again. She shook her head and looks at him "there's nothing to worry about bro, just worry about your life, I'll live mine the way I want to". She groaned and walked over to the bench on the playground and sat down. She had felt so alone since her brother had imprinted, she had no one else but her brother and apparently he didn't need her anymore.
She sat there with her fist on her chin as she watched over the children. She couldn't help but feel alone. She couldn't help it, it was just how it was she watched her children, trying not to pay attention to Steve. But it was hard, he was her family and with him imprinting she felt betrayed sort of in a way.
She sat with an emotionless face as the children ran around and played. She let them stay out an extra 30 minutes to try and run off some of their extra energy before nap time came along. She sat alone as she watched the kids, she had sort of forgotten about Steve, but knew that he was still there.

Steve sighed. He didn't understand why Lora seemed so jealous. He glanced over at her. She'd been like his second mother all his life. It bothered him that she was hurting so much, but just because he'd imprinted didn't mean he needed her any less. It wasn't like he and Jessi were living together or anything yet. He wasn't the kind of guy that would live with a woman unless he was married to her. He still lived at home as Lora did.
He pushed one of the girls on the swing then played a game of five on one football with the kids. He glanced over at Lora with tears in his eyes. He could feel her pain and it bothered him. He sighed. It wouldn't do for her to see him cry. His tears always worried her. He just wished she would talk to him.
He saw past the emotionless face. That was the same face she used to wear when his father would beat him. He knew that face meant more than she was showing. He sighed and lined the kids up to go inside for lunch.

Lora walked to Steve and hugged him "I'm so sorry bro, I just feel like you don't need me anymore since you have Jessi". She cried alittle and felt terrible for actually being mean to her only family that actually cared about her. She loved Steve and wanted him to be happy with Jessi, but hated that eventually he would leave aswell to live with Jessi and have children of their own.
But she cared more about Steve than to just let him go. She was happy with her family, but she seriously wondered if she would imprint in her life.

Steve held her close. He buried his head in her neck. "I do need you Lora. If I don't have you to take care of me who's going to? Mom can't anymore and Jessi's still going to be recovering from the car wreck for a while." He sighed softly, still not letting her go. He was used to being babied and he would be lost without her.
He'd saved Lora the trouble of cooking for the kids and ordered a plain cheese pizza for their lunch. It was kind of a thing he did when he visited all day. Once he had them all sitting down and eating, he helped Lora arrange their cots for naptime. They would share their favorite Philly cheesesteak pizza while the kids napped.

Lora watched him as he got them fed and laid down for naptime which gave them an hour and half before the parents started picking them up. She couldn't believe that he said he needed her, everything that he had said had made this much harder. She walked out again and sat on the bench as her eyes filled with tears yet again.
She brushed her hair out of her eyes and put it up in a bun, she knew that Steve loved her hair down but she usually put her hair up when she got upset. She couldn't actually fit all of these emotions in her small body, it felt as if she was about to just fall apart from all of the emotion. Her hearts strings were being pulled as it seemed like her heart was about to explode. She sort of wished it would.
She looked at Steve in the door looking at the children, she shook her head and decided she had better have a rip. She couldn't handle this, seeing him with another girl. She hadn't told him about the imprint. She knew the real truth of their past, they weren't biological brother and sister they were adopted into the same family, her mother had adopted him when he was very young.

Steve walked outside while the kids were sleeping leaving the door open so they could hear if one of the kids cried. He sat beside her and pulled her close to him reaching up behind her and pulling her hair down out of the bun. He wiped her tears away. It broke his heart to see her crying and his own brown eyes filled with tears of their own.
He caressed her hair. He wanted to make everything all better for her the way he did for the kids and for his patients. He just wished he knew what was bothering her. He didn't understand why she was so jealous. All he knew was that she was acting strangely and whatever it was that was bothering her made him hurt.
He whimpered softlly at the pain in his heart. "Lora talk to me please. Tell me what's wrong."

Lora cuddles against Steve and sighs "Steve I think I imprinted on you, I understand why too. We aren't biological brother and sister, my mother adopted you back when we were young". She sighs and looks away, she couldn't believe that she had just revealed that she may have imprinted on her brother, or adopted brother. That would explain exactly why she was jealous of him and Jessi.
She wouldn't look at him, she couldn't look at his face, that could be disgusted, or worried or just plain out angry. She knew Steve wouldn't be angry but she couldn't help but think that he would think that she was trying to break him and Jessi up which wasn't the fact at all. "Steve I understand that you don't like me, I don't want you to think I'm trying to break your relationship with Jessi up in which I'm not, but I care so much about you I had to tell you"
She tried to get up but felt his arms around her waist and sighed alittle. She couldn't bare the fact that she was being held by the guy she was madly in love with. She knew that her and Steve were always raised as brother and sister but she always felt a different attraction towards him.

Steve held her close. He couldn't say a word at the moment. His body shook with tears. In just a few words his whole like as he knew it had been torn upside down. She wasn't his biological sister? He was adopted? "Why didn't someone tell me?" He asked softly as tears poured down his cheeks. It felt as if his heart was being ripped to shreds, like their dad was beating him all over again.
He let her go and stood walking toward the nearby tree, his body visibly shaking from tears. "Is that why you've been pushing me away lately? I mean I just met her Lorali, less than a week ago. We haven't even been out on a date! I don't know if I'm going to ask her out or just be friends. Every time I try to picture myself with her all I see is you." He whispered softly. "I never said I didn't like you Lorali. I just didn't know that the feelings I have weren't wrong." He fell to his knees in front of the tree crying.

Lora walked over to him and hugged him, placing her hands on his shoulders as she whispered "You mean everything to me Steve I'm here for me whenever you need me, I didn't know about your adoption until I went to our mother the other day about my feelings, and she told me, I had to tell you". She hugged him tightly almost crying herself, she then turned and got infront of him. She looked in his eyes, seeing the pain from everything that had just happened.
She kissed his forehead and whispers "Our family still loves you like no other, you will always be a part of our family, one way or the other, I love you Steve and I always will even if it has to be as a brother". She hugs him tightly and then looked at him as she wiped away his tears.
She leaned in and kissed his lips, she pulled back quickly and looked at him and placed her hand on his cheek. She was in love and she had to show him how much, she hugged him tightly again and smiled "are you okay my love" she sighed, she was so scared.

Steve wrapped his arms around her. He buried his head in her shoulder. "I just don't understand why she never told me." He whispered then looked up into her eyes. "I need you now Lora, I need you so much love. I love you sweetness and I just can't process all this without you." He kissed her back softly.
He just held her tight, she was the center of his world and right now she was the only thing keeping his world from completely going upside down. He sobbed softly into her shoulder.

Lora held him and smiled she had all that she had ever wanted in life, except for one thing but that will come later. She kisses Steve's hair and sighs alittle "shhhhh baby shhhh please stop crying" she rubbed his back as she softly hummed a song to him. She was so very happy, she then heard the first parent arrive to pick up their child. She kisses Steve and helps him up, wipes his tears away as they walk into the daycare.
She picked up Lacey and handed her to her mother and they left. She looks at the rest of the children as she sits down at the table and looks at Steve, she smiled and then looked into his eyes. He was still in pain "baby mom didn't tell you about the adoption because it didn't seem to matter, we all loved you and we always will, you are our family, not that stupid man that beat you". She hops up and walks over him and hugs her arms tightly around his waist.
She looks into his eyes and kisses his cheek, smiling softly as she hoped that her smile would atleast cheer him up in some way. She hugged him again and sighed just alittle she didn't like to see him sad, or angry. She wanted him to be happy, and honestly she hoped that she could make him happy just as Jessi had before. But she wanted to be twice the woman that she was, she wanted him to be more happy than he had ever been.
