"please play nice, tabitha." esther warned as she straightened up her dress. the family was standing at the front door of the larusso's house, waiting to be let in. esther was nervous, she had wrongfully cut these lovely people out of her life and they were kind enough to give her another chance.

theodore was also nervous, he hadn't seen these people for years, and he hadn't seen sam for years.

tabitha was excited. she even hoped that robby would be present just so she could cause more problems. but she knew she couldn't be explicit about it.

the door swung open and amanda was grinning ear to ear. she pulled the twins into her arms and went on about how wonderful they'd grown up. she then kindly greeted esther before letting them in.

from the dining table, anthony larusso surprisingly glanced up from his ipad. "tabby!" he stood up to his feet and made his way over to her.

she smiled. "my favorite little dude!" the two shared a fist pump before she ruffled his dark hair. "how are you?"

"i'm good." anthony nodded. "how have you been?"

"much better now that i've seen you." she smiled at him.

tabitha always wanted a younger sibling. but the odds were not in her favour as she was gifted with an older twin brother. so anthony was the closest she could get. she adored him ever since she walked into amanda larusso's hospital room the day he was born.

"hey teddy." anthony waved at him.

"good to see you, ant."

"mom, can i show tabby my new games?"

amanda glanced over to her husband, who was now embracing theo. she nodded. "yeah sure, we have some time before lunch so make it quick okay?"

"okay!" he beamed, leading the girl over to his room. as they exited the room, samantha and robby entered.

theo's gaze from daniel shifted to see the two. samantha gave the boy a reluctant smile. "hey."

theo excused himself from daniel and stepped over to them. "hi." he smiled. "nice to meet you man." the boy put his arm out for robby to take.

robby nodded as he shook the boys hand. he noticed how secure his handshake was. "you too. you play football?"

theodore grinned, feeling more comfortable in the not-so-new environment. "yeah i do."

"he was the captain of the junior varsity team back in silver lake." esther spoke up, placing a hand on his shoulder. "you play?"

"no." robby shook his head. "i just—a couple of my old friends did."
