The twins hesitated, they didn't want to go back up. "Why didn't she tell us who our real father is?"

"She planned to, but she wanted to wait until you were older and ready to hear it." Kendall replied, "Because it's still a very hard thing for her to talk about." How was he supposed to tell two very young boys that they were the results of a rape?

"But she wrote it all down in her journal," said Kestrel.

"When someone has something on their hoods but isn't comfortable telling another person, sometimes they write it down and put it away as a way of getting it out and dealing with it." Kendall explained. "A diary isn't really meant to be read by other people. It's like a personal record."

The boys looked guilty now, realizing what they must've done. "Did we do something wrong...?"

"You didn't know." Kendall answered. "Now you do. But what really matters to your mama right now is you getting back to her. When you're ready and when she's ready, we'll eventually have that talk, OK?"

"Okay..." Kestrel and Falcon nodded glumly. They didn't want to get in trouble with their mother, but there were still questions that they wanted to ask her about Tony Blitz.

Kendall gave each of the twins an affectionate nudge. "Now let's go get Mama something to drink, OK?" He flashed a THANKS glance to Ricardo.

The twins slowly nodded as they turned and headed back to the center court where their mother was resting.
Ricardo gave a nod in return and followed them back as well, hoping that Phoenix and their kids hadn't missed them too much.

Kendall closed the journal, without looking, and closed its latch before putting it in a secure compartment. As he followed the twins back, he ducked into an alcove and picked up several cans for Ebony and the family.

Ebony flicked her mirrors as she saw Kendall and the twins reemerge from the tunnels of the cave system.
Ricardo went over to Phoenix and nuzzled her, letting her know that he was back.

(((It stopped being stupid...)))
"Found them okay," Phoenix asked returning the nuzzle.

Ricardo nodded, "Yeah, they were down in the fossil chamber." He paused to look at Ebony for a moment, noting her preoccupation with the twins, then leaned over and whispered, "They were reading Ebs' journal when they weren't supposed to."

Kendall came up to Ebony and handed the journal back to her, with a nuzzle. He then brought in the drinks for everyone.

Ebony took the journal back and placed it in her compartment for now for safer keeping. She wasn't going to let it be out of her reach again. She accepted one of the drinks brought back by Kendall.
Ricardo also took a drink for himself because he had tracked down the twins and one for Phoenix.
