I look through the window watching the white puffs of clouds passing through the plane as my whole body jittered. It's finally the day we leave for Hawaii and have two weeks off vacation to celebrate Rex and I's engagement. Grandpa had booked us first class for everyone and almost had taken the total seats with a large group like us. My son and his cousins are taking a jet with Grandpa back to London. However, I'm excited about this trip and still worried about being away from my baby boy.The instincts of a mother are kicking, and the nervous jitter start."Excited?" Rex took his seat after he went to the restroom."Yes, I am." Taking his large hand into mine and the nervousness faded away. "Do you think Jacob is going to be okay without us?""You know he's fine with Papa Odin," patting my hand. "He will be well taken care of and also the kids. They have each other.""I know Claire wanted to take Leo with us, but we will spend a lot of time. Adult times," I wiggle my brow and lean in

Once we arrived at the airport, we had a transportation van take us to the hotel. Rex and I confirmed our arrival with the receptionist and went up to the rooms. Grandpa had booked three suites; two connecting rooms and one across.The girls and I were excited as we explored the suite. It had everything with a dining table and a kitchen. The master bedrooms had the best view of the island. My room can see the beach from up here. I can't believe I'm on one of the most beautiful islands and where Rex and the boys were born and raised. "Hey, Thea," Effie poke her head. "Who's room are who?""Oh!" I ran to my backpack and pulled out a white folder full of our plans for our vacation. I set it down on the table with everyone present, "Okay, let me see. This room and Rex and I. Your room is over there. The other suite is Liam, Lily, Seth, and Terry. Don and Claire have the room across, along with Jordyn and Ares. Okay, everyone, go to your rooms and rest up because we are going to eat out l

After an hour of good rest, we all went down to the buffet on the hotel's first floor. Since I had made reservations for a party of ten, it was easy for us to have our table. Once the waiter brought us to our table and asked for our drinks, the men all got up at once, stampeding towards the buffet line. I look at the girls, and we all shake and sigh. It was already embarrassing when a few people around our table looked like we couldn't hide our faces. The guys returned with two plates in each hand, mountain loads of food. The girls and I are not questioning their glutinous behavior since Effie and Claire cook three times more for the men and the kids. The kids are nothing to worry about. Leo isn't picky, and Zara can eat anything. We girls went to get our plate and came back with one dish. "How do you eat all that and can't get fat?" Jordyn asks and watches the guys stuff their faces. "Men's bodies are different from women's as testosterone is ninety percent lower than men on av

The first whole week was our busiest. We ventured out throughout the island, sightseeing, visiting the Oahu Circle Island in Waikiki, the Pearl Harbor memorial, and the Dole plantation, where they have the tastiest Dole ice cream.Other activities on the list were going to the Kualoa Ranch with a two-hour submarine tour of Atlantis, an ATV ride for a Raptor Tour where Jurassic Park was filmed, and we did parasailing. Then yesterday, we all had dinner at Chief's Luau, where food and a Hula show were presented. I've seen Luaus, but nothing like this. We had a blast the first five days of our vacation, except for the constant argument between Jordan and Ares. No matter where we go, the fighting won't stop.Today, before we visit Rex and his brother's hometown, we snorkel with dolphins and sea turtles at Oahu Dolphin Watch Snorkeling, including a hula show and water activities. We booked the whole boat just for my family. We had lots of fun, and the boys kept driving while Terry and Effie

I couldn't believe what I saw, what everyone saw.After the commotion between Ares and Jordan, I discovered something unexpected. We ended our activity and returned to our hotel room. Everyone was in my room as we surrounded the one person who caused Jordan to break down—a glance at my room, where Claire and Effie were with her."Ate-""Shh..." I point to him and then mimic a gesture to zip his lips. "Don't talk."He shut his mouth and dropped his head in defeat. He knew he couldn't speak over me, his older sister. Although he may be at the age of not needing a guardian, he still needed to show respect to me as the head of this family."Ares, what were you thinking?" I finally snapped at him.He stays quiet, rubbing his swollen cheek. After what we saw, Jordan slapped him in the face hard."Ever since..." I inhaled and let out heavy breaths. I continue as everyone learns the truth about this secret past. I trust Rex and the others because they are family. "You do know what you did.""
