"What?" Hilary asked.

Thomas handed the picture to her and she hesitantly takes it out of his hand and looks at it. Hilary looked at the two little kids in the picture they were holding hands smiling into the camera the girl has more of a timid look while the boy had a wide smile staring gleefully.

They had black curly hair the girl's hair was all the way down her back. Their skin was tan/light brown and big doe like brown eyes.

She stared at the picture in adoration these toddlers are adorable Hilary thought. Not only were they adorable but they looked like smaller versions of Jonah and Faith.

"Mom?" 

Hilary took her eyes away from the picture to look at her fifteen year old daughter.

"Is dad right?" Tiffany asked softy.

Hilary looked from Tiffany to each person in the room until her eyes landed on Noah and then the twins who are sitting on the couch farther down from her.

Her eyes soften "Yes." She whispered but everyone heard.

Faith was shocked and looked at her brother who had no expression. She scrunched her eyebrows together confused. Why didn't he have the same shocked and surprised like everyone else? Jonah felt her gaze on him and turned his head to look at her seeing the confusion on her face.

"Jonah why don't you seem as surprised at us?" Faith asked causing everyone to turn their attention to him. Jonah looked down in thought and looked up at Noah who was staring at him as they stared into each other eyes for a while Jonah finally spoke.

"I kind of already had a feeling."

It's just Noah and the twins alone in the living room everyone else decided to give three space. Noah is sitting next to them on the couch in deep thought wondering what to say to them. When Noah thought about how it would be to reunite with the twins this wasn't how he expected it to go.

Faith didn't know what to think? She knew he felt familiar but this is still surprising to her. Well at least she knows why he was staring her and her brother now. Jonah was sitting with his arms crossed waiting for someone to speak.

"... um so you knew us from the orphanage?" Faith decided to be the one to break the silence.

Noah looked at her and nodded "I didn't just know you I was the one that was put in charge of taking care of you and I even named you." 

Faith eyes widened "Wait you gave us our names? Not our birth parents or miss Littleton?" She asked tilting her head.

He shook his head "Their was no note or letter attached to you and I felt like the name Jonah and Faith would of suited you both."

The twins smiled and Jonah spoke this time "It's nice to see you again Noah."

"You remember me?" Noah's eyes lit up.

"I-my memories are a few but I do remember when you had to leave us." Jonah paused. "That's my last memory of you and it's my clearest memory of you." He smiled sadly.

Noah and Faith frowned, "Ya it's still clear in my mind too." Noah quietly said.

Faith glanced down sadly "I-I have this memory of someone leaving me and tears streaming down my face. I guess that someone was you it's kind of cloudy and your face is blurred."

Noah nodded and stood up to go sit in between the twins and pulled them in a hug. Tears rolling down his eyes they looked up at him and hugged him back.
