tears in her eyes Damn it Nathaniel! What were you thinking!
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
I'm trying to understand why he'd do such a thing...Did someone make him do it? he pulls out his phone to call the school and find out why Nathaniel would be fighting 3 people at once
I don't know stop calling me Nathaniel it takes 10 minutes to explain....just call me Emrys
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
"Emrys?" she asks, raising an eyebrow in amusement
Emrys is my chosen name though I can go by Nathaniel if you'd like
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
Emrys it is then. She says with a smile
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
Well we're gonna need to address this "Emrys" issue first off, Emrys... We love you... That is why we're trying to keep you safe... sighs Can you just please not get into fights anymore?
Why do you love me tho, most treat me like an inconvenience
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
they all start talking at once Eve: Because you're our brother! Nala: And someone has to keep your ass out of trouble! Lily: Plus we love you. Thalia: But she has a point Emrys, you get into way too many fights. Ava: And you're also really stubborn!
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
Of course we do... Even if you do act like a dumbass sometimes Nala says playfully I chuckle and shake my head as I look at my sisters. It brings a small smile to my face to see them talking to each other. I turn back to Emrys, who seems lost in thought
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
Nala smiles warmly at Emrys before speaking again We love you too, Emrys. And we want nothing but the best for you. Please try to behave yourself... If you get into another fight, we'll really have to start intervening, and no one wants that. We'd rather just be able to let you live your life and not get involved at all...
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
they all start hugging him, smiling warmly. They hold him tight, enjoying the feeling of their younger brother in their arms Nala: There there... Emrys... We got you. Eve: whispering And we won't ever let anything happen to you. Ava: We love you so much. Lily: And yes you may be annoying, but you're still our little brother... Thalia: Just try not to get us arrested for anything okay?
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
Evelyn gives him a hug too. She holds him tightly and stares up at the ceiling I feel bad for not being more present in your life Emrys... We've been through a lot as a family... I wish things could've been different... She takes a deep breath and smiles at him. She gently pats his head as she lets go of the hug Emrys, you mean everything to us... Don't forget that. We love you very much.
Y'all didn't gotta go get all emotional
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
nods Yeah... We did. Emrys... We love you... That may sound like a dumb thing to say, but it's true... We would do anything to protect you... Even if you drive us insane sometimes. Nala grins at Emrys, looking almost like she wants to squeeze him as tight as possible Ava whispers to the others Ava: Is it okay if we adopt him? Please? Everyone nods, whispering Eve: Sure thing. Evelyn smiles slightly Evelyn: Of course we will. Lily and Thalia nod too, smiling slightly. Lily speaks next Lily: I think that would be perfect. We can raise Emrys as our own...
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
) Emrys... We wanna adopt you... Make you officially one of us... Nala smiles and nudges him Nala: We wanna take care of you properly... and give you a proper home... Where we won't let anyone hurt you or treat you poorly. Evelyn smiles slightly Evelyn: Yeah. No one deserves the treatment you received Emrys... Lily smiles widely Lily: And yeah... We just think it would be better if you were officially part of the family.
I-I wouldn't mind that....
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
everyone cheers YES! Lily hugs him tightly and doesn't seem to let go Thalia hugs him tightly from the side Evelyn smiles at Nala before hugging him too, holding him close Eve and Ava hug him too, smiling Nala kisses Emrys on the cheek Nala: I'm glad you said you were okay with it Emrys... You're officially one of us now... Evelyn nods and hugs him too, smiling Evelyn: Welcome to the family Emrys. We love you...
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
everyone hugs him one last time before letting go Ava: We love you Emrys. Please try not to get into trouble anymore. We don't want our son/family member/whatever... to end up in jail or get hurt/killed. Lily: Yeah Emrys... Please be more careful. We care about you. Eve: Yeah. We love you Emrys. Thalia: And yeah... Please be more safe Emrys. You still got a long life ahead of you. Nala smiles warmly Nala: I love you Emrys... Please behave yourself, I don't want you getting hurt or worse. Please... I beg you... Evelyn: Yeah. Please behave yourself Emrys.
Yes mothersighs I'm tiiiiiired
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
they sigh Nala: Yeah... It's been a long day Emrys. Lily: Yeah. Let's just all go to bed and get some rest okay? We can deal with this tomorrow... Eve: Yeah. We're all tired now... Let's go to bed. Thalia: Yeah. We'll figure everything out tomorrow. For now, let's just sleep... Ava: Yeah... Let's get some rest okay Emrys? Evelyn: Yeah... Emrys... Goodnight...

Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
they all smile warmly at Emrys and kiss him on the forehead Nala: Goodnight Emrys. We love you, little brother. Behave yourself tomorrow or we're grounding you. Evelyn: Yeah... Goodnight Emrys. We love you. Try not to get into trouble tomorrow or we'll ground you as well... Lily: Yeah Emrys. Try not to be stupid tomorrow. We love you. Eve: Yeah Emrys. Please behave yourself tomorrow too.

Lily: Yeah Emrys. We love you... Don't mess up tomorrow. We can't afford any more fights... Eve: Yeah. We love you Emrys. Be good tomorrow okay? Please...
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
Lily walks over to Emrys and kisses his forehead Lily: Goodnight Emrys... Try to get some sleep. We'll talk about everything later. Eve goes to hug him and pat his head before kissing him on the cheek Eve: Goodnight Emrys... I hope you sleep well.
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
Nala grabs Emrys' hand and walks him to his room. Once they're in the room she shuts the door behind them Nala: Listen little brother. I understand you're sleepy right now, but you have to understand that what you did wasn't right. You need to learn to control yourself. This is why we're giving you a curfew. No leaving the house except for school until further notice. Do you understand? Emrys looks at her and nods Nala: Good. Now go to bed. We can talk more in the morning. Just remember not to leave the house without permission.
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
Thalia goes to hug him and kiss his forehead before walking away Thalia: We love you Emrys. Don't mess up tomorrow or we'll be mad. Ava goes to hug him and kiss his cheek before turning to walk away Ava: I love you Emrys. Be good tomorrow okay? Evelyn goes to hug him and kiss his cheek before walking away Evelyn: We love you Emrys. Try not to mess up tomorrow. Lily hugs him one last time and looks at him before turning to walk away Lily: Goodnight Emrys...
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
Thalia stops in the doorway and turns around. She crosses her arms and looks at Emrys with anger in her eyes Thalia: I'm serious Emrys. We're putting you on thin ice. Don't mess up again... I swear if you do... There'll be serious consequences. Ava: Yeah Emrys. We're warning you. We won't tolerate anymore disobedience. If you disobey us again, then you won't like the consequences. Nala: Yeah. This is your last warning Emrys. Next time you'll get punished. No more disobedience okay? Eve: Yeah Emrys. We're serious. We won't stand for anymore disobedience. Don't make us punish you. Evelyn: And please... We don't want to have to discipline you. We're doing this to keep you safe. So try not to be stupid, okay?
Evelyn1, Nala2, Eve3, Lily4, Thalia5, Ava6
Thalia shakes her head and sighs before walking away Ava: Just remember Emrys. We love you. But you better behave yourself otherwise we'll be pissed. Don't make us mad Emrys... Nala shivers slightly and watches him intently Nala: Listen... Emrys... We don't want to punish you. We love you. I mean... It's hard not to. But we need you to listen. You're just too reckless. Please Emrys... Just calm down... I don't know how else to put it.
