Phoenix flicked a mirror and glanced at the two boys. "They know don't they..."

"They do," Ricardo gave a quiet nod, "They know who their real father is now... and it's not Ken..."

Kendall brought drinks over to the twins, and to Artemis. He then settled down with Ebony, and nuzzled her cheek.

"Chrysler," Phoenix said. "I wouldn't want to be in her threads right now."

The twins didn't take the drinks offered to them and were glaring up at their mother, who seemed to sense the tension that was building up.

Ricardo nodded in agreement to Phoenix's comment, "Si, see how they're staring at her right now?"

Kendall felt it important to back up Ebony on this, so he gave the twins a firm WAIT-AND-SEE look.

"Why didn't you tell us?" asked Kestrel.
"Tell you what...?" Ebony turned her attention to the little Viper boy, feeling a bit uneasy by the stare her boys were giving her.
"That our father is this car named Tony Blitz," said Falcon.
Ebony stiffened in response.

Phoenix bit her lip hearing the two and looked around, luckily Gryffin was at the other end of the court playing. "At least he's not listening."

"Good thing..." nodded Ricardo.

Ebony hesitated before answering the twins. "Well, yeah... he is, but he's not much of a father..." She pointed at Kendall, "but he is... always has been since you were little..."
The twins looked at the NSX for a moment before turning back to their mother. "But he's not related to us..."

"You have to be a lot more than a biological relation to be a father, that's the smallest part of it." Kendall explained. "A father is someone who cares for you and your mother, and loves you all and treats your mother with respect, and stays around to do the very important job of raising you."

"I don't know how he'd react to hearing about Blitz's connection," Phoenix said.

"He might not be ready for it," Ricardo demurred, "but he might hear it from Kes and Falc, seeing as the three of them like to do everything together."
*****
The twins looked from Kendall to their mother and back. "Yeah..." they said slowly, "but what if our real father comes to take us away...?"
"He won't because he's in jail..." Ebony said vehemently, though she felt a little dizzy afterwards and sank deeper into her soft sleeping rug from the effort.
Kestrel and Falcon watched their mother worriedly.

"Still you how he his when he hears his name," Phoenix said.

Ricardo nodded solemnly. "Si, I do..."

The twins watched their mother as she went through a bout of dizziness.
"Is Mama gonna be okay?"

"It's still a very hard thing for your mother to deal with." Kendall explained to the twins. "And it will be a long time, if ever, before she can really talk about it." He moved to check on Ebony, giving her a caressing nuzzle. "Come over and be with your mama, she needs you."
