"We are going to Spring Break in Rosarito," Lena told the kids. The kids were excited since they never been across the border before.

"Really mama?" the nine kids asked as she eyed them all and gave them a small nodded and smiled wide. "Where are we going to stay?"

"The Quinn mansion in Rosarito," Lena replied. 

"Any other families?" Brandon asked. "I mean invited?"

"Yes. The Riviera Rossi, Cooper and Owens families were invited," Lena replied.

"What about Mike, Nicole and the kids?" Jack asked since he wondered about them since his mama didn't mention them at all. 

His siblings rolled their eyes at him. 

"They aren't coming since Ben and Tristan can't go past ten miles yet go into a different country," Lena replied.

"But that's not fair!" Jack replied. "Can't Uncle Jackson give them permission to go this time like he did the last time?"

"No and this is not like the last time. This is outside the USA and rules need to be enforced."

"It isn't fair, but it is the rules and regulations of the foster care system," Lena added. "Do you understand me?"

"Yes mama," he mumbled. 

"I didn't hear you," she added.

"Yes mama," he added as he rolled his eyes at her, which she missed.

"What about the other kids?" Callie asked.

"Well here is the thing. Uncle Mike has training at his guard job and it will just be Nicole and the kids and she has Ben and Tristan to worry about and the other kids too."

"And she can't take Ian and Isabella out of the area since Uncle Mike isn't here. She's not their mommy by law," Callie said.

"How do you know that?" Jack asked.

"It's the law and since Ana got her rights back to them, she needs to give her permission to let them take the little twins," Callie replied. Jack rolled his eyes.

"So Ben and Tristan and never go on family vacations since they are in the foster care system?" Jack asked. 

"Dude! Really?" Caleb asked. "You sound like a broken record."

"More like a CD on repeat," Matthew replied.

"Jack please. Enough with Ben and Tristan," AJ added. "You sound obsessed."

"I just feel for them," he replied. "They lost their moms and no family wanted to take them in."

"Their moms didn't have a support system and the families have kids of their own to think about," Lena replied. "And you know that."

He nodded. "I can't wait for them to be adopted."

"And when they get the right family they will," Callie replied.

"They have the right family," Jack added.

"And they aren't adopting," the big twins replied. 

"They will," Jack added as the doorbell rang. It was Mike to take the twins to get their new pets for the home and Mike had promised them as they hugged their mama goodbye and walked out with their dad.

In the car was the little twins and they were getting three Goldfish each as the big twins got in the backseat of their dad's car as they went to Wish Upon A Pet.

Brandon got a Hamster and Bradley got a Chinchilla and they got all the stuff for them as they went to get the little twins Goldfish and they got all the stuff and two medium size fish tanks as Mike, and his two sets of twins left toward home.
