"You know, karma exists." Adrian sniffed. Without looking up, she promised, "One day, all this, everything you've done since I got here, it's all going to come back to haunt you."

Darius stopped his movements, hand on the door handle. He turned around, coming face to front with Adrian still curled up in the corner of her room. "I know you don't much about us Adrian, partly our own fault, but I assure you that nothing that could ever happen in the furture would be worse than anything I went through in the past."

A few hours earlier:

"I hate this." Keanu groaned, throwing his head against the headboard, "Por mucho que quiera a Aiden, ya no quiero estar aquí." He stated in all seriousness.

"As much as I love Aiden, I do not want to be here anymore."

"Yeah, me too." Mateo grunted amidst his onslaught of baby hands all over his torso, "But we gotta wait for-"

"-for them to tell Adrian." Keanu's monotonous voice spoke out accompanied with a roll of his eyes, "I know, I know." He leaned up on the bed, propped up by his elbow with his head resting in his palm, "And if Elijah's plan is to first tell her we existed, as in the past tense, its going to take even fucking longer-"

"-watch it! Baby." Mateo pointed at the toddler straddling his torso and pulling at his chain.

"Sorry." Kenau mumbled apologetically, "As I was saying, If Elijah's idea is to first tell her that we existed in tbe past, its going to take even freaking longer to get to the punchline that, helle, still alive!" Kenau waved his hands exasperatedly after pushing himself off the bed.

"It's not going to take that long-" Mateo tried to argue.

"Oh, I beg go differ because there will also be the whole 'Oh, and Tyler's still alive, your asshole of a dad just didn't want him' thing." Keanu huffed, frustrated. "At this point, I'm bargaining we only move home next year when everyone else is already gone and Adrian has no choice but to accept the truth."

Mateo blinked at him. Once, twice then he shook his head disbelievingly. "I wonder how anyone in this family has gone this long without trying to kill themselves." he said more to himself and Tyler.

Tyler just kept his focus on the padlock pendant on Mateo's chain, occasionally trying to yank it off and failing.

"Urgh." Keanu groaned, frustrated and annoyed, "What if I decide to be spiteful and just "accidentally", " he made air quotes with his fingers, "let it slip?"

"I would not advise that." Mateo hummed.

"Yeah, neither would I." Xander spoke from the door.

"Yeah, I know. I wasn't actually going to do it." Keanu grumbled.
