A/N: This is my second spin-off to Their Little Family. I was finally getting back into writing a story line for Mackenzie and realized that she really had a very interesting life that I'd really only hinted at before.

For reference, the big Mackenzie chapters are 39, 44, 45, 46, 51 and 116. But since I'll be covering all of that here, you don't have to read them if you'd rather be surprised. And then I was talking with Meowser Clancy and she got way too into it, so we just had to make it a collab :) Girl power!

For every big Mackenzie chapter comes a Scott chapter… enjoy!

Scott hated parties, they seemed unnecessary.

Maybe it's his antisocial side showing, or that he continues to get himself stuck into conversations he isn't interested in.

Well maybe he should show attention, he was supposed to be listening to Ned complain about how much he hates wearing ties.

"I feel the same man," he laughed. "Ties are an unnecessary form of torture for guys."

"Not always," Ned shoved his hands in his pockets. "The last time I wore a tie it somehow ended up restricting Katie from touching me in a very sexy way."

"You and Katie always keep thing fresh don't you?" He asked looking over at her, a beautiful blonde standing next to her. "Who's that blonde next to Katie?"

"When you have a kid, you gotta keep it fresh." Ned peeked over his shoulder. "She does look hot in that dress and I'm most definitely gonna strip that off her tonight. Oh and that's Mackenzie, one of Katie's many little sisters."

She's beautiful and the dress she wore was very feminine.

It reminded him of a period drama straight from the eighties. The color is a deep red, like a deep red that brings images of wine and roses to his mind, of intoxicating drinks and smells. The black lace trimmings flowed around the cascading layers of her skirt. It is cinched at the waist showing her desirable figure.

"Scotty!" The sharp yell from Katie and Ned's son pulled his eyes away from the delectable hips that are Mackenzie's.

"Ash, hey!" He picked the little kid up and spun him around. "How you been kiddo?"

"My mommy and auntie are talking about you," Asher whispered in his ear.

"They are?" He asked. "What about?"

"Kenzie thinks you're cute like mommy thinks my daddy is." Asher replied.

"Your mommy thinks I'm cute?" Ned joked and tickled his son's sides.

"Mommy loves you daddy!" Asher giggled.

"I know she does," Ned laughed. "I love her too."

"So Mackenzie likes me huh?" He asked.

"I think so?" Asher muttered.

"Hey Ned! Scott! Get over here!" Katie called and he gulped.

This was more than he'd asked for. He'd be closer to her, within an arm's reach.

He caught Mackenzie's eye and he smiled, flashing only one of his dimples this time. She grinned in return and he stood before her.

He could smell her perfume, some kind of flowers. Was it Gardenia? He knew it wasn't Katie's. She always smelled like something out of a bakery, vanilla, he believed.

"I figured that everyone in the wedding party should get to know each other," Katie said with a straight face.

"Mommy!" Asher flew into his mother's arms and she grabbed a hold of him.

"Hey bud," Katie said kissing his cheek.

"So Scott, I'd like you to meet Katie's little sister, Mackenzie. Mackenzie, this is my new partner Scott." Ned said.

He extended his hand towards her, and hoped she wouldn't be shy.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Mackenzie," he said. "I've heard quite a bit about you. I just never knew your name until now."

He hoped she was one of those women who liked accents, he'd had his fair share of women who cringed at the Brooklyn side of his voice.

She slipped her hand into his and her cheeks blushed a light pink when his fingers wrapped around hers. He brought her hand to his mouth, pressing a delicate kiss there.

"I'm sure Aaron or Ned have all sorts of stories for you about me," she said softly. "But you should also know that I have just as many stories about them both. If you ever want any good material to tease either one of them with, just come to me."

"Oh really?" Ned demanded. "What could you possibly have on me?"

"Let's see..." Mackenzie held up one finger. "There was that time that I was babysitting Asher and you and Katie came home completely trashed and you tripped going up the stairs and your pants fell down. There was that time when you locked yourself out of the house when I was having a sleepover with Katie and tried to get in through an open window, but we thought you were a burglar so we called the police on you. There was also the time that—"

"Okay, I think that's enough!" Ned exclaimed.

He couldn't leave her eyes, a delicate shade of blue that shined in the light. Her hand was so soft and warm against his.

"Why are you guys still holding hands?" Ned asked.

They immediately let go of each other and he looked over at him, nudging his side roughly.

He'd get him back for that one day. A day when he'd regret it, but before he could even say anything, Ned pushed him towards the other end of the room.

He even get to say goodbye before he was towed across the room.

"What the hell man?" He muttered and pushed Ned off of him. "I was so close to asking her to dance."

"It's all about stealth. Don't let her know you're swooning, not yet at least." Ned reassured him. "She liked you. Don't worry."

"How did that work out with you and Katie?" He scoffed.

"Pretty good, she's my wife." Ned laughed. "We have a child and are talking about having another one soon."

"You told me a whole other story about how she got with someone else first." He explained. "I don't want her to get with someone else. I don't want to lose the one chance I have."

He looked over at her, talking to a little girl with raven colored hair, and realized that she was looking in return. He smiled directly at her, and she grinned back.

"See, don't worry." Ned touched his shoulder. "Now excuse me. I'm gonna go find Katie and get out of this tie."

Later on, he found her again, bored and looking at her phone while watching Asher.

"Katie and Ned not back yet?" he asked sliding into the seat next to her, loosening his tie a little.

"No," she smiled at him and set down her phone. "They're never quick about what they do."

"Well maybe we could get Asher to stay put with a cool game on my phone," he said giving the boy his phone with a smile. "You can play that driving game bud."

"Thank you," Asher said pressing on the app happily. "I won't move from this spot."

"Thanks wing man," he said standing up. "May I have this dance?"

He took her hand that she extended to him and led her on the dance floor. The touch of his hand burned into her skin; her heart raced, she was dizzy from his touch. Her scent engulfed him and took control of his senses.

He pulled her to him, her body fit with his perfectly.

Scott had his left hand firmly but gently placed on Mackenzie's hip. She securely wrapped her arms around him with her right hand locked with his.

He gazed upon her eyes, smiling at the younger woman.

The rhythm of their bodies that danced slowly with the elegant music was passionate. He twirled her around, dipping her as he leaned closer to her. Staring at the beauty before him, his breathing became shallow and his heart suddenly felt heavy inside his chest.

With their bodies nearly touching one another's and their faces so close to each other's, he had to hold something back as her breasts jumped with each breath she took. Locking eyes, they were unable to keep away from each other. There was definitely something between them.

He took in a deep breath as he pulled Mackenzie back up into his arms.

Their bodies molded together, every move he made was attached to her. He could feel the beat of her heart, her soft breath on his neck, her softness all over him. The heat of his hands and body contained her, she no longer had control of her body or her mind and had never before experienced anything like this. Their magic grew with each sway and touch and they'd hardly ever said a word to each other, but the love was already there, the passion already explosive.

No single doubt existed.

They were made to love each other, and here they were dancing, together.

The music soon changed and they never left the dance floor, Mackenzie continued to fall harder for this mystery man as her sister and brother in-law emerged, completely rumpled and barely even hiding it.

Her dress was very wrinkled and barely covering her knees anymore, neckline moved majorly to the left and a bright mark between both her breasts, pieces of hair were spilling from it's place and her lipstick was gone. On the other hand, Ned's tie was long gone, collar up and lipstick stained, shirt untucked from his pants.

"Is it just me or has Katie's neckline shifted?" Melinda asked Jim, leaning on her husband's arm.

"I think everything has," Jim snorted as his daughter and Ned walked back in, barely even hiding why they left. Or if they were, they'd done a really bad job at it. "Plus they both have very prominent fresh love bites."

"And Ned's collar," she tutted. "We did better than that, didn't we?"

"Not sure. Shall we, uh, test it out?" He laughed.

"Maybe later," she playfully pulled on his tie. "I'm enjoying my seat right now."

"You can still enjoy your seat," he whispered as his hand creeped underneath, sliding up hem of her dress to her thighs.

"Jim," she warned.

"Shh," he pressed a finger to her lips and kissed her neck.

Katie and Ned slipped into seats next to their parents.

"Nice tie Ned," she said and he looked down, standing up.

"Crap. I left the tie," he said running from the room.

"Don't judge. You've done worse," Katie laughed. "Plus you and Delia have been bugging for another grandbaby."

"A Grandbaby!" She gasped as Jim's fingers brushed against her panties, resituating herself in the chair.

"We have a doctor's appointment next week, but yeah we're trying." Katie smiled. "It's not that exciting besides the actual making and being pregnant part."

"I'm always open to babysitting, you know that." She said softly.

Jim's fingers slipped her panties out of the way and one finger inside her.

She had to keep the conversation going or their daughter would figure them out.

Jim moved so slowly as to not bring attention to them, but to bringing warmth to her face and thighs. She'd have to steal him away later, or wait until home because there was no way she could let him finish her without letting at least a whimper out.

"Who's Kenz dancing with?" Her voice came out louder than expected and Katie shifted in her seat slightly, finally fixing her neckline. "I think I've seen him before with Aaron, but I can't remember."

"He's a good friend of Aaron's, his best man actually, and Ned's partner. His name is Scott, they have a thing for each other. Love at first sight or something, not that I can judge with how badly I fell for Ned when I was a preteen." Katie explained and ran her fingers through Asher's hair, watching the game he was playing on Scott's phone. "Left baby, go left."

"I won!" Asher said gleefully and Katie kissed his head.

"I know you did, good job." Katie laughed and kissed his head. "Did Scotty bribe you with his phone so he could steal Kenzie from you?"

"Yup!" He giggled and pressed play again.

Katie looked at her mom, who held her wine glass a little tighter as her father leaned in to kiss her neck.

"What I miss?" Ned slid into the chair next to her and she kissed him.

"Scott bribed Ash with his phone to steal Mack, and those two are gross and think I don't know what they're doing." She explained as Jim straightened and licked his fingers.

"So you two can, but we can't?" Jim laughed as Ned nigh-fived him.

"I'm gonna go dance with Ash," Kate said adjusting her dress as she stood up. "Come on baby."

Ash set the phone down and ran out to the floor with her, dancing to the upbeat music happily, joining Lana, Emma, Mackenzie and Scott's little circle. Ned joined quickly after fixing his shirt, leaving Melinda and Jim to watch, enjoying their bliss before sneaking off to have their private time together.
