"Hey Darlin you okay?" A voice asked bringing Johnny out of his musings.

"I'm fine." He looked down at his menu. "Can I have a hamburger?" He asked.

"Sure." She said and walked away.

He looked at the restaurant still not believing he had flown all this way and just ordered a hamburger. He hadn't done something like that since he was a kid and he and Sue went out to a restaurant. Though that was rare to begin with. He couldn't help but think Sue's kids both did the same thing.

He rested his head in his hands. Kids. They weren't his and he wasn't going to let anyone convince him otherwise. He knew what Reed wanted to do and he just couldn't do that. He honestly didn't want to know if it was true he was Valeria's father because he knew it wasn't. That was why he was at this restaurant. He wanted time to think without his family putting in their 2 cents.

The waitress returned with his food en minutes later. "Here you go. Can I get an autograph for my daughter Missy? She's a big fan of yours."

"Sure." He said grabbing the napkin that was across from him. He wrote out a quick autograph before handing it to her.

His cellphone rang. He didn't really want to answer it, figuring it was his sister checking up on him but he saw by looking at the caller ID, that it wasn't any number he knew. "Hello?"

"Hello Jonathon." A very familiar voice answered.

"How did you get this number?" He demanded.

"It's not hard hacking into your computers to get this information. Did you get the birthday card I sent you?"

"That was you?" He demanded trying to keep his voice down though he was getting a few stares.

"Who else would send it to you but me? Did Reed finish with the test I know he's planning to run?"

"He's not going to do the test."

"You never know Jonathon. He is pretty tricky. He may have already done it without you even knowing. I'd be interested to see what kind of conclusions you all draw from this. Hope you are ready to be Valeria's father." He said hanging up the phone.

Johnny pushed the hamburger away and threw cash on the table to cover his lunch and quickly left. He had lost his appetite and wanted to make sure Reed didn't run that test.

Sue watched as the shoe salesman came up with another box of shoes for Valeria to try on. She watched as her daughter stuck her foot out but she her attention was quickly diverted by something outside the window.

"It's a good fit on her Mrs. Richards." The man said standing up. "We have other colors if this isn't the right one."

"No we'll take it." Sue said and grabbed another box that Val had tried on earlier. "And these too."

"Where are we going now mommy?" Val asked jumping up from the chair she had been sitting in. "I'm hungry can we go to McDonalds?"

"Sure honey." She said and went to pay for the shoe.

The grin on Valeria's face made her pause. She looked like Johnny when she did that. She flinched. Why was everything her daughter did reminded her of her brother? She knew for certain that Johnny wasn't the father of her child. She was just tired and letting everything bother her. She picked up her phone and called Reed to see if he wanted to join them for lunch.

"Hello?" Reed asked after the third ring.

"Hey it's me. Val and I are going to lunch at McDonald's down near Manhattan Mall. You want to join us?"

"No but thanks. I have enough here to keep me busy. I think I may have made some advancement on that experiment after all. You two have fun. Love you bye." He said hanging up the phone.

Sue was left standing there staring at the phone in her hand.
