This invitation had arrived nearly a month ago with no surprise but it was only now, the morning of their flight, that Eric began to worry.

"Do we have to go?" Eric asked rhetorically. He stepped out of the bathroom, drying his hair in the bedroom he shared with Steven, one they had shared for over twenty years.

"Yes, Eric," Steven sighed, "You know I don't want to go any more than you do, but she is my sister."

"You know it's not that I'm worried about." He crossed his arms. "I know she knows about us, she's visited us! And it's not as if the two of you aren't nearly joined at the hip."

Steven snickered, even though he and Angie had met late and started off on rocky they had grown close over they years. "Eric, come one we live together, we are committed and out of the closet to everyone except your parents and our childhood friends." He punched Eric lightly on the shoulder. "We've avoided this for most of our lives. We couldn't forever."

"Says you."

Hyde rolled his eyes. "I'm not saying I'm looking forward to seeing these people again, least of all Jackie and all the confrontation on questions." He shook his head, laughing softly. "We left in 1980 without a word in the middle of the night; we haven't looked back or spoken to anyone with the exception of my dad and sister. The next week or so is going to be hell," He finished.

"To put it lightly."

"But both of us have to be happy for Angie. It is her special day—she's getting remarried to Kelso I admit—but we should be happy for her, especial what with how her last marriage ended."

Eric sighed. "I know, I know."

"Dad, Angie's on the phone for you." June, Eric and Steven's 16 year old daughter yelled for the kitchen.

"Got it" Steven yelled back and picked up the phone.

After a lengthy conversation about plane times and pickup at the airport Steven met his family in the hall of his apartment.

Eric was standing with two suitcases, casually dressed. June, who was elaborately dressed with a short black dress, colorful tights and intense make up, had three smaller suitcases and stood near her girlfriend Lilly and her twin brother, Harley, who was dressed more casually in Jeans and a t-shirt holding coffee.

"Ready?" Eric asked, and with that they hailed a cab to Kennedy airport and boarded the plane.

For the whole flight the five of them sat silent in the anticipation over what was to come.

Wisconsin

When the plane landed Steven's dad was there to pick them up and drive them to the hotel. Conversation was kept to a minimum and only after everyone one had been checked in did William say that at seven Kitty was throwing a dinner party and they were expected to be there.

What with the settling in and the drive to Eric's childhood home it seemed as if they had to turn around leave as soon as they got there. Eric came around with the rental car and when everyone piled in this time they turned on the radio to break the silence.

"Wow, this place hasn't changed at all!" Steven commented as they pulled up to the back of the Forman residence.

"You guys are here!" Angie screeched while pulling Steven and the Eric in to a big hug. "Everyone s in the living room already," she said, leading them in the house.

"Mrs. Forman, where should I put the whine glasses?" Jackie asked right as Steven entered the room.

"S—Steven." Jackie was so surprised she almost dropped what she was holding.

"Yup" Steven nervously laughed.

"Eric, Steven, what are you doing here?" Kitty questioned.

"You didn't think I miss my little sister's big day did you?"

"Well, um, please sit down." Kitty wrung her hands, turning to fidget with something or other. "I have so many questions."

"Like, where the hell have you been?" Jackie screamed as Donna and Randy walk in.

"Wait a sec, where are June and Harley?" Angie asked.

"The Hub."

"Eric, Hyde?" Donna whispered still in disbelief.

"Hyde, man, where have you been?" Randy joked.

"That's what I just asked them!" exclaimed a frustrated Jackie.

"New York." Steven nodded.

Jackie was shocked. "Doing what?"

"Well," Steven started, "Living."

"I mean, like, what do you do?" clarified Jackie in annoyance.

"Oh that." Hyde laughed. "I'm an ADA, and Eric is a pediatrician."

"Hyde, no way are you're a lawyer." Donna laughed.

"Well, I am." Just then his cell phone rang and Steven picked up.

"What is it, Joe?...No…We've got him! There is no way a jury won't convict him of rape and murder…Do not settle this out of court! I want him jailed up for the full amount of time without parole… Joe, I swear, if I find out you settled this for anything less in 15 years…Okay, good, I'm glad you understand."

Steven hung up. "Sorry about that, guys, this asshole is trying to get us to settle a case out of courts and Joe is such a pushover."

"So you really are a lawyer?" Donna stated still in disbelief.

"Wow, Donna, so hard to believe since that's what you have always wanted. What do you do anyways?" Eric asked slightly annoyed that she didn't think Steven could be a district attorney.

"I teach English at Point Place High. Randy, my husband—" Donna emphasized the husband part.

"Glad to see you two got hitched. See, myself, I've always been against marriage." Steven interrupted her.

"Anyways. Randy is the manger of a Tower Records."

"And Jackie, devil dear, what do you do?" Eric smirked

"I work Fez's beauty parlor with your sister." Jackie stared at Steven while she spoke.

"So you never got married?" Eric asks for clarification

"If you must know, I was married once, but then he died."

"That's sad." Eric didn't really sound apologetic.

"No it's not, you see the asshole was cheating on me all along with his secretary and one day her husband walked in on them and shot the both of them." She folded her arms confidently.

"My God Jackie, I'm so sorry."

She laughed. "Eric I'm just playing with you. I was married once, he got me pregnant on our honeymoon, first and only time we slept together, then he realized he was gay and left me for the best man. He lives in New York now with his partner Robbie and our daughter. You see he always wanted kids and I didn't want to raise Lilly on my own so I see him holidays and such."

"Wow, Jackie I don't know what to say."

"I do, what is your ex's name?" Steven popped in, curious.

"David Turner." She looked at him strangely. "Why?"

"Oh, wow." Hyde put a hand to her forehead.

Now Jackie was intrigued. "What?"

"We know him."

"Who?"

"Eric and I know your ex."

"We do?" Eric asked, confused.

"Yes, Lilly Rebecca Maskavish."

"Oh!"

"How do you know her?" Jackie asks persistently

"We don't." Eric answers quickly "Steven, I'm going to call the Harley." Eric ran into the kitchen.

"Hi Harley is your sister there? Yes June I have a slight question for you, is Lilly out? Now I don't mean of the room I mean of the closet. Okay, listen can you, your brother and Lill get over here? We are two blocks to the left and three straight from the hub. Number 369."

Eric quickly hung up. When he got to the living room he saw Steven pick up the phone another call from the work inevitably.

When Steven finally got off the phone Harley, June and Lilly walked in. Lilly was on her cell:

"No I can't help you, I'm in fucking Wisconsin." She doesn't seem to be paying much attention to her surroundings, like how she just entered a house. "Okay, I know I'm sorry. Since when do you parents care who you sleep with anyways…I'm sorry I can't help you sneak out of your house so you can fuck your boyfriend…That's true, I'm not sorry, I was using something called sarcasm. You know what? Even if I was in New York I wouldn't help you." With that she slammed her phone and saw that a whole room was looking at her, including her mother.

"Mom?" Lilly asked, not sure if she should trust her eyes.

"Lill, what kind of language was that I heard?" Jackie stood up angrily, crossing her arms.

"Sorry, I didn't realize." She had suddenly reverted back to this prefect 12-year-old that her mother still thought she was, "It was just my friend Tabitha; sex fuels her art, she is fixing up her screen play for a minor indie movie that she starts filming tomorrow and her parents have just decided now, after never paying attention to her life, that she can't see her boyfriend. And it's so infuriating that she thinks I can drop everything for her and then be angry at me when I can't."

"I see, because that makes a lot of sense, what kind of people does your father let you hang out with?"

"My friends. And just because Tab is having sex doesn't make her a bad person, I'm sure you had sex before dad." The whole room, but in particular Steven snorted.

"How dare you talk to me that way!" Jackie snapped.

"Sorry mom, but honestly."

"Honestly what? What are you doing here anyways?"

"Spring break," she shrugged.

"Yes, because you would ever be caught dead in Point Place over spring break after you turned 10."

"Well truthfully I'm here for a wedding."

"Who's?"

"Mr. Hy—I mean Steven's sister and his former good friend...who, um, fell off the water tower a lot."

"Michel Kelso." Jackie points to Kelso.

"Yup, that name rings a bell. Wait a sec mom isn't that…what's his face your first boyfriend, you showed me pictures from the prom and stuff." Lilly looked at him with renewed interest.

"Yes, but you still haven't finished answering my question why are you here for his wedding?"

"June invited me. See, she's going to be a bridesmaid, seeing as she is Angie's niece."

"I thought she was Eric's daughter?"

"She is."

"Then what?" Jackie looked severely confused.

Lilly laughed. "Mom, come on! She is Eric and Steven's daughter; they are her dads, she has two, just like me."
