halfway there

Prolog

It was like no different from every other Sunday morning when Dallas and Theodore got word from their mother, Isabella, that a relative would be staying with them. Even though Theodore had only moved in with his mother last year when he was 16, him and his step-brother, Dallas, had meny family members stay in their spare bedroom. It was no surprise to the Kilen brothers when they would wake up to find a man in the gest bedroom. Even Dallas, who was 20 going on 21, never saw as many people as his 48 year old mother.

Less than a month later, the brothers finally realized that the person staying in their house was a direct relative. Dally knew that their mom had had many romantic relationships since he grew up with her. However, he did not expect a half-brother to move in, but another sibling would blow him away if he were dramatic. luckily for him, he wasn't dramatic, unlike Theodore, who was ecstatic to have a younger sibling with them. but Theodore wasn't happy for long. When he released, he would have to permanently share a bedroom with his brother.

Unlike her children, Isabella was overjoyed to get to raise a daughter. she bought dresses and painted the bedroom walls before it was even confirmed her daughter would be staying with them.
