Morgan pulled into her parent's driveway fuming. She didn't even notice the extra cars on the street. She got out and waited for her eldest child. As soon as he was in front of her she glared at him and ordered "Walk". If there was only one thing that Trick knew it was that you don't mess with his mommy when she was like this. He stopped at the front door and waited for her. Morgan didn't even pause, just grabbed Trick's hand and pulled him into the house. She didn't even pay attention to the people in the living room. She didn't even stop when she heard her dad.

"Monster, look who-"

"Not now Daddy."

She pushed him through the kitchen door, then immediately spun him around to face her.

"What the hell were you thinking!?!"

The attention of the living room was diverted from the kitchen when the front door burst open for the second time and three more people stormed in, only one of them familiar.

A man with curly dark hair was the first one to speak up. "What are you doing here already Ze?"

"Well we lost Trick and were coming to tell his mom, but we found him now."

"And who is Trick?"

"He's our third." Johnny said immediately. "Wait, how do you know these people. Why are you supposed to be her Zaz?"

"Zaz?"

"Yeah, surely Izza warned you."

"She did, and I think I like it. And to answer your question, this is my grandparent's house."

Anz' face suddenly lit up. "Do you know what this means Nobi? We're cousins!" She squealed, then launched herself at Z.L., tackling her onto the floor.

"Wait a minute." an older man, her grandfather, Anz thought, said looking confused. "Who are you?"

Anz jumped off the floor and turned to everyone with a huge smile. "Well I'm Isabella Ansley Matthews and that's one of my thirds Jonathon Adam. Our mom is-"

She was cut off by a loud voice from the kitchen.

"Patrick Nicholas, you got drunk and peed on a police car!"

There was dead silence I the living room. Then Z.L. look it upon herself to break it. "Naughty, naughty puppy." she muttered, shaking her head.

Anz and Johnny busted out laughing while everyone else looked at them like they were crazy.

"Well, I guess we better go try and save Trick. Come on Izza."

They walked over to the door, pushed through, and were back out not five seconds later. As soon as they had set foot in the kitchen, a resounding "Get out!" could be heard. They exited but Johnny made sure to leave the door open a bit.

"Did you even think about the consequences of this. What if while you were out defacing government property-" here there was snickering from Z.L., Anz, and Johnny along with all of the males in the room. "Something had happened to Iz. What would you have done then?"

Now Trick could take a lot of things but someone insinuating that he didn't care about Izza wasn't one of them. "It wasn't my turn tonight." he replied, trying his best not to yell at his mom.

"What do you mean it wasn't your turn?"

"Really Mommy, do you honestly think that Johnny and I would ever let Izza be at a party without one of us watching her constantly. We take turns. One night I'll drink water and watch Izza and the next time Johnny will. Wee do it so that she won't drink to much and get taken advantage of and so we can keep boys away form her." Johnny got a panicked look on his face, just knowing that Trick was going to say something stupid. "And he was doing a fine job of keeping the boys away tonight if I do say so. Subtle threats work wonders."

'And there it is.' Johnny thought. He just waited for the explosion.

"Excuse me!!" Everyone jumped at the volume of the new voice and the door swung open to allow Morgan and Trick into the living room. "How dare you!? I've excepted that you two are over-protective of me but this is ridiculous. Constant supervision to keep boys away from me? That's why he wouldn't talk to me after that first time isn't it. Subtle threats work wonders do they? Well here's one for both of you. If you ever speak to me again I WILL castrate you with a rusty spoon!" With that she locked herself in the bathroom.

Trick and Johnny moved to the door and tried to get Anz to come out. Meanwhile, Morgan turned to face the group in the living room for the first time.

'Shit.' she thought as she came face to face with almost her whole family. All three of her brothers, Jack, Shawn, Topanga, Jessica and Rachel. There was also a girl around her kids age, but no other kids around. "I thought you guys weren't coming home until tomorrow?" She seemed so nervous that everyone decided to let her set the pace of the conversation.

Cory was the one who answered. 'He looks exactly the same.' she thought.

"Well we weren't but then Ze" he pointed to his daughter, "was told about a back to school party and talked us all into coming early."

Morgan looked at Z.L. and smiled. "She's gorgeous Cory." She walked over to her blushing niece. "Hi, I'm Morgan."

"Zenobia Lily. But most people call me Z.L. or Ze."

Morgan laughed. "I love the name, Topanga. Would this party by chance be the one that was just down the street?"

Z.L. nodded and smiled, letting Morgan know that she had met the kids.

"So MoMo, what's going on in your life?" This time it was Eric that spoke. He looked the same too, but you could just tell that he had grown up.

"Umm. The two important things in my life are my kids and my job. Until we moved here, to family, nothing else really mattered to me."

Josh sensed the tension at the mention of kids and decided to help out the sister he barely remembered. "What do you do?"

She smiled at him, her eyes showing her appreciation. "I'm a music producer. Actually the top producer at Black Heart, Silver Lining Records."

"Holy Shit!"

"Joshua! Language!"

"But Mom that's the best label in the world. And my big sister is the best producer there. Who all do you work with?"

Morgan opened her mouth to answer, but everyone turned around at the yelling from the bathroom. "Go away! I don't care if I ever talk to either of you again!"

Johnny and Trick shared a look. "Izza." they chorused together.

"No. You don't get to do that. Not this time. You can't be sweet and caring and expect me to just forget."

"Fine!" Johnny shouted. Trick looked at him like he was crazy. They couldn't just leave her there. Johnny turned and looked around, ignoring the people staring at him. "Zaz, where's her purse?" he asked. She pointed towards the end of the couch. Trick smiled, realizing what Johnny was thinking. They both crouched down and started digging through the huge bag. All of a sudden, they both dropped the bag and jumped back.

"Mommy!"

"Momma!"

They pointed to the bag in horror. Morgan walked over and curiously looked in the bag before laughing. She looked up and saw all kinds of confused faces, but before she could explain Johnny spoke up.

"She's cheating!"

Morgan just laughed some more. "That's not cheating boys, that's strategizing."

"But now how are we supposed to find our stuff?" Trick argued back.

"Well you have two options. Stop keeping things in her purse-"

"Or?" Johnny asked.

"Get Over It!" She turned back to everyone else to explain. "My boys have an irrational fear of tampons." All the girls laughed while the boys shuttered and agreed with Trick and Johnny.

"Momma," Johnny said tying to look innocent and pathetic, "Will you find it for us?" She looked away from him and saw Trick, his face schooled in a wide-eyed pout. "Please" She looked at her family and found that they were all laughing at how easily her boys played her. She looked back at Johnny and broke.

"Fine, but this is the last time. And I mean it this time."

"Of course you do." they chorused. Morgan just sighed at how weak she was, and reached fro the purse. After a minute of digging she pulled out a rectangular box and handed it to the boys. Everyone watched curiously as the boys walked over to the door. Trick opened the box, and catching a glimpse of the contents, Shawn let out a laugh, while everyone else was still confused.

"Aiding and abetting now Morgan?" he asked, laughter still in his voice.

"I do what I can." she replied with a casual shrug.

The rest of the room caught on when Trick turned to Johnny.

"Would you like to do the honor?" he held the case for Johnny and he picked something out and then proceeded to pick the lock. Morgan turned to see her mother glaring at her while everyone else laughed.

"It's not my fault!" she exclaimed. "They're always locking themselves out of the house and they lose their keys the day I give them to them."

"Plus Izza tends to lock herself in whatever room is handy whenever she gets mad." Trick added laughing. Anz just glared at him.

Alan cleared his throat and looked pointedly at the kids before looking at Morgan.

"Guys, this is your grandma and grandpa. That was a great first impression by the way. That's my oldest brother Eric, then Cory, and my younger brother Josh. There is Cory's wife Topanga, and Eric's wife Jessica. Then there's Jack and Rachel, and that is Shawn. And this is Cory and Topanga's daughter-"

"Nobi"

"Zaz"

Morgan was cut off by her kids.

"We met at the party tonight." Trick explained.

"Okay. And these are my triplets. The oldest is Patrick Nicholas. Then Jonathon Adam, and finally Isabella Ansley."

Each one waved at their mom introduced them. "In case you haven't guessed, we prefer Trick, Johnny, and Anz. But Izza will also answer to Iz if she likes you."

That remark earned Trick a slap to the back of his head from his mother. "We're trying to make a good impression her Patrick. Behave."

Johnny grinned cheekily. "Relax Momma. They have to love him, he's family. Now they're struck with him too." That earned him a slap on the back of the head.

Z.L. just laughed. "He's the family puppy. What's not to love." Her, Johnny and Anz explained how they came to the realization that Trick was like a puppy and everyone laughed except Trick.

"What does that remind you of, Cor?" Shawn asked, his eyes twinkling mischievously.

"I have no idea what you're talking about Shawnie." Cory replied and tried to look innocent. Eric, Jack, and Alan laughed, knowing what Shawn was referring to, while Amy and Topanga glared and everyone else just looked confused.

"What do you mean Uncle Shawn?" Z.L. looked up at him and gave him the puppy dog eyes. He just laughed. He never could tell her 'no'.

"Well Zenobia Lily, he reminds me of your dad."

"Daddy? How!"

Shawn smirked at the look Cory was giving him. "When we were a little older than you, your dad and I went to a party and your dad got really drunk. I lost him on the way home-"

"More like you ditched me to make-out with that one girl." Cory interrupted.

"Not important Cor, no more interrupting. Now, I was staying here that night and thought I'd find him passed out on the floor somewhere. Instead I walk in the as door to hear Mom yelling at someone and Dad trying to look mad and not laugh. Come to find out, he was arrested for indecent exposure. He got caught peeing on a car. But I don't think it was a cop car so you got one up on your uncle, Trick."

The triplets, Z.L. and Josh all started laughing, having never heard this story before. Cory just glared at his best friend.

"Thank you, Shawnie. I really needed my daughter to know that. Really.

"No problem, Cora. Just doing my job as godfather."

Cory blanched at the mention of his alter-ego and turned to his wife. "Why did we make him godfather again?" Topanga just looked at him. "Oh. Right. My idea."

By then Alan was tired of waiting. He wanted answers. He turned to Morgan's kids. "So tell us about yourselves."

Anz jumped in before her brothers could even think. "Well, we're triplets, we grew up in Miami. My best friends name was Marley. Oh. We're going to be sixteen in February.

All of a sudden, something clicked.

"Sixteen?" Shawn asked.

"Yep." was the happy reply from Trick. "Then we can drive!"

"Yeah right." Johnny quipped. "Like any sane person would let you operate large machinery. Or Izza for that matter." They both made sounds of protest.

"Morgan, if they were born if February almost sixteen years ago, that means you would have gotten pregnant in May." She just nodded and Amy continued. "So you were pregnant when you left?"

Morgan just nodded again. "I didn't know at the time." She sounded miserable and she continued so quiet that they almost didn't hear her. "I didn't realize until later."

Trick and Johnny moved as one and sat on each of the arms of their mom's chair, while Anz bounded over and sat on the floor in front of them, wrapping her arms around her mom's legs. All three looked fiercely protective of her, almost daring someone to hurt her.

"Morgan."

She hesitated and then finally looked him in the eye. He didn't even have to ask anything, the answers were in her eyes.

He, Shawn Hunter, was a father.

He couldn't be inside right now, he got up and walked out through the kitchen and into the backyard.

Back inside there were various reactions. Some were confused, being a little slow on the uptake, like Cory and Eric. Some were disbelieving like Jack and Rachel and her parents. Some were looking at her with sympathy and support, Josh and Topanga. But the hardest here Trick, Johnny, Anz and Z.L.. The girls were ecstatic. Now they were even closer cousins, and Anz was finally going to have a daddy. The boys were happy too, but they were also a little bit worried. This guy, their dad, had the power to hurt the two most important people in their lives.

"Morgan." She looked up at her sister. The girl who had helped her through everything before this. "Tell me I'm wrong."

Morgan just shook her head. Topanga got up from her seat next to Cory and went over to hug her little sister.

"You need to talk to him."

"I know, I just don't know what to say. I can't justify what I did."

Topanga just hugged her tighter. "You don't have to justify anything. You didn't do anything wrong."

Morgan sighed, trying to explain what she was feeling. "But neither did he." She stood up and make to follow the father of her children. "Out of the two of us, I'm the one that's wrong. It was my decision to keep it quiet. My decision to not tell him." And with that she walked away.
