So they got out of the cars: first Craig holding his God-daughter Suki, next was Paris, Madeline, Louise and then Lilika were out of the first car. Rory, Finn, Steph, Colin, Logan and Tristan came out of the second one. They walked into the pub, not noticing the stares.

"Lilika Aimi-Aine Lalita Dean Bolton, my dear niece what are you doing here" asked a shocked Frankie
"Well Aunty Frankie I am here, one to tell Jake off; two to spend time with you; three to support Craig"replied Lilika
"Why me"Jake said as he and the other's hear the conversation
"Well Jake Dean, cousin how could you turn your back on your brother just because he is bi, does not give you the right to make him choose."replied Lilika.
"I did not make him choose"argued Jake
"Right so you coming to the airport, which made Craig deny what he is, which meant he had to fly with a broken heart was not him choosing"Lilika replied sarcastically.
"You did what Jake"asked Frankie
"I may have told Craig that I support him even if he was gay, which meant Craig denying that he's gay, which made John-Paul walk away in tears, which left them both broken-hearted amongst other things"replied Jake.
"Yes I remember you told John-Paul that Craig had a girlfriend, but you did not tell him was that I was the only girl Craig talked to"said Lilika
(Enters John-Paul, Father Kieron and family minus Mercedes who is behind the bar)
"I did no such thing"replied Jake
"Right, lets get John-Paul over here, and ask him"said Lilika.
"No, (Lilika gave him the glare), Fine"replied Jake.
"John-Paul can you come over here please"asked Jack, waving
"Sure Jack"replied John-Paul, as he and his family walk over
"Now I would like you to tell me, did Jake ever mention to you about this girl Craig was with in Dublin"asked Jack.
"Yes why"asked John-Paul , turning to notice the others.
"Well it seems he is denying tell you about the girl"said Lilika.
(John-Paul notices Craig amongst the group)
"Craig"said John-Paul
"John-Paul"Craig answered, getting up and standing in front of his former love.
(Frankie notices the eye contact the boys were having and ushered the others)
"Everyone lets go to the bar as I want to meet my grand-niece"said Frankie quietly, making everyone leave the men alone.
"Craig"Lilika whispered, do you want me to stay or not"
"Nah I need to this on my own, thanks cousin for helping me find who I am and what I want"Craig whispered back
"Who was that Craig"asked John Paul.
"That was my cousin Lilika, who Jake thought was my girlfriend, her husband Tristan DuGrey, their daughter Suki, then my friends Finnegan Rothschild, Paris Gellar, Steph Vanderbilt, Colin McCrea, Louise Grant, Jesse Justin Harrington, Madeline Lynn, Nathaniel Bennington, Lorelai Gilmore-Hayden and Logan Huntzberger"answered Craig.
"So you never dated in Dublin"asked John-Paul.
"Nope, when I say I am not gay John-Paul it is the truth as I like women, I will never love anyone like I love you, love always, what I am trying to day is that I am bi-sexual but you are the only one I want"replied Craig, kissing John-Paul cheek
"Really so if I would kiss you, you would not back away"said John-Paul.
"Yep, I have changed and my cousin helped me out by taking me to gay clubs and normal clubs to help decided and though it was fun dancing with girls, the boys were not fun and no of them are like you"replied Craig.
" I have to thank her, for helping you decide what you want"said John-Paul, kissing Craig.
(after they break apart)
"Yeah so are we together or not because I cannot live without you J"said Craig
"It is up to you, are you ready to tell and show people that we are together" replied John-Paul.
"Yeah I want you and everyone else to see that I have changed and not afraid of who I am, I would like to call you my partner"replied Craig
"Yes Craig I will be your partner"said John- Paul
(Lilika walks over with Suki in her arms, passes her to Craig and apologies

"No problem it is fine, honest, she can meet my partner, her honorary uncle John-Paul"said Craig, holding Suki.
"Oh Lils this is John-Paul McQueen, the guy who knew deserved more than me"said Craig, after a minute.
"Hello John-Paul I am Lilika Dean Bolton- DuGrey, Craig older cousin by a few months"said Lilika
"Nice to meet you Lilika, although I do not recall him ever mentioning a cousin"said John-Paul.
"J the thing is she is my cousin from my dad side so we not as close, but when I moved to Dublin, the flat we were supposed to live in was right next to her house so that day, she had walk out of the house with bags in her hand, her husband holding Suki and she saw me sitting on the steps in tears"said Craig.
"So I said `Hi you must be Aunty Frankie's son Craig who was supposed to be with his partner"said Lilika.
"yeah though without the partner as I could not bring myself to say I am Bi-sexual and kiss him when he asked"said Craig replied in tears.
