"Well that wasn't awkward at all." Patrick mumbled as he carried the dishes into the kitchen.
"What are you talking about?" Sam asked as she placed the plates in sink.
"You were at the same dinner?" Matt asked as he sat on the counter,"Mac was ready to kill Kiefer, you three kept mumbling to each other, and Alexis was abnormally quite." He explained as he looked at the three oldest Scorpios.
"I think that is the most I have ever heard Jason talk." Patrick replied as he pulled a chair out.
"Mom is just shocked." Maxie answered as she placed the leftovers in the fridge.
"What could shock Alexis? She has you for a daughter." Jason smirked.
"Maybe the fact that you impregnated my sister again, Robin is going to marry playboy doctor or the fact that I am moving in with Matt. Take your pick, I really think any of them could cause her to freak out." Maxie spat as she stuck her tongue out at him.
"How the hell did she find those things out?" Patrick asked a little nervous.
"She gave us this whole speech about being honest and one thing let to another." Robin explained as she sat next to Patrick.
"Well she has two weeks somewhere tropical to get used to the idea." Sam sighed as she stood next to Jason.
"The cruise was a great idea." Robin agreed, "Dad actually looked like he liked you guys for a second." She added with a smile.
"Well, that was the plan tell them everything before they left, but some people don't know how to stick to the plan." Patrick replied as he stood.
"Oh please when this all hits the fan, our secrets will not matter." Maxie rambled as the kitchen door flew open.
"When what gets out?" Patrick asked only to be ignored.
"Mommy, lots of snow." Lila yelled as she ran into the kitchen and grabbed Sam's hand.
"It's a blizzard." Mac called from the living room, where everyone else had started to open presents.
"No no no no, please this is not happening." Maxie mumbled to herself.
Sam picked up the little girl and headed into the living room where everyone was gathered around the TV. "The roads are a mess." Alexis explained as she looked at the group in the doorway.
"Right, well we should probably head out now." Patrick answered as he headed toward the closet to grab his and Robin's coat.
"You are not a good driver in normal conditions, there is no way I am letting you drive my daughter in this weather." Mac shouted as he stood up, "But, you are more than welcome to leave with your brother, the criminal and rich boy with you." Mac added after he gave it some thought.
"Nonsense, you are all just going to have to spend the night." Alexis replied as she placed a hand on Mac's shoulder.
"Nothing coed." Mac added knowing he was not going to win this.
"Kiefer can sleep in the guest room, Matt and Patrick can stay in Robin's room, Jason and Lila in Sam's and you three can sleep in Maxie's." Alexis explained before heading to the kitchen to make some coffee for everyone.
"I am going to be, I will be checking in and if I find any of you with my daughter I will shoot you." Mac growled as he headed down the hall.
An hour later everyone minus Mac and Alexis were gathered in the living room watching It's a Wonderful Life and eating Christmas cookies.
"Did Santa bring you anything good?" Kiefer asked as he and Kristina sat next to Lila.
"No thank you, I no talk to you." Lila replied as she turned her attention back to her doll.
"Did he get you that doll?" Kiefer tried again.
"I said no thank you." Lila repeated as she turned away from him.
"Lila, that's not very nice." Kristina retorted.
"He not nice." Lila said as she grabbed her doll and headed toward the couch where Maxie and Sam sat.
"At least she has good manners." Maxie laughed as Sam pulled the girl onto her lap.
"Sorry, she just had a big day and I think she is a little tired." Sam apologized as she stood, picking up Lila in the process.
"She has the right idea, the sooner we go to bed the sooner this nightmare is over." Maxie agreed as she stood up.
"I still don't understand why Jason couldn't have just driven us all home, I mean if you can drive while being shot at. I am more than sure you could handle a little blizzard." Patrick replied once the girls had left.
"I would if I could, but Sam said no."
"Who would have thought you would be whipped."
"Like you are one to talk, Scorpio women are scary when they are angry."
"Wait till they are pregnant, Sam is scarier than most men I face."
"Kauai is Hawaii's fourth largest island and is sometimes called the "Garden Isle." Jason read aloud as he looked at Lila who had fallen asleep in between him and Sam, with the puppy curled put next to her.
"Are you ready to do this all over again?" Sam asked as she pulled the covers over a sleeping Lila.
"More than ready for it. This is all I ever wanted Sam, a family with you." Jason replied as he brushed some hair from her face.
"Well I hope for my Dad's sake that it is a boy." Sam smiled.
"Yeah, men are out numbered in this family, maybe it will make Mac like me better." Jason joked as he pulled Sam towards him.
"Well he will definitely like you less if he found me here." Sam said as she gave him a kiss before pulling away.
"You are making this up to me the minute we get home." Jason ordered as he gave her a quick kiss.
"Promise." She laughed before pulling away and heading toward the door.
Sam and Robin sat on Maxie's bed watching the younger girl pace back and forth, "Why the hell did you cover for her Sam?" Maxie practically yelled at the brunet.
"She needs to be the one to tell Mom."
"I think its about time she owned up to everything she has been doing. She is out of control." Maxie spat as she sat down on the bed.
"I thought that we were doing the right thing, but now I'm not so sure." Robin admitted.
"She lied to you so you would get her the pill, which she obviously isn't using." Maxie commented as she looked at Robin, "You found her at a bar and didn't even yell at her. She is taking advantage of the two of you." Maxie added.
"Why don't we just talk to her and if she is still acting like a brat, we go to Mom." Sam said knowing something had to be done.
Sam quietly followed Robin and Maxie down the hall to Kristina's room, "I meant in the morning."
"It's two in the morning." Maxie replied as she tried to open the door only to find it locked.
"Maxie really." Robin whispered as Maxie knocked loudly on the door.
"Kiefer, keep it down or my parents will..." Kristina started but stopped when she saw who was at the door.
"Really? You think a booty call is what you need right now." Maxie asked as she pushed her way into the room.
"I have no idea, you are talking about?" Kristina said as closed the door behind them.
"Are you stupid?"
"Maxie stop acting like a bitch." Kristina spat.
"This is what I am talking about, you need a serious attitude adjustment. You run around doing whatever the hell you want, thinking you can get away with it."
"So far, I have. None of you have told Mom or Dad anything and you won't because they will just blame you. I am the good one, not the one who got pregnant when she was nineteen, not the one who self destructs her life or the one that always falls for the wrong man."
"You're right Krissy you're one of those things, you are all of them." Sam spat having enough of her sister.
"We saw the test." Maxie smirked as she watch her sister squirm, "So did Mom."
"You are lying, she would have said something."
"No because once again Sam saved your ass, though I don't know why since you are such a bitch to her."
"I don't see what the bid deal is?"
"Kristina you are going to have a baby."
"So it can't be that hard, I mean Sam did it with Lila."
"I had our family and Jason, do you really think Kiefer is going to stick around?" Sam asked.
"Why didn't you come to one of us?" Robin asked as she sat next to Kristina.
"So you could see what a screw up I am, I mean Maxie is loving it."
"I am not loving it, I am just sick of you using everyone and lying all the time." Maxie replied as her tone softened, "I miss my little sister, not this spoiled brat you have become.
"I don't know what I am going to-do." Kristina sobbed as she hugged Robin.
"You have time, but you are going to have to tell Mom and Dad." Robin replied as she rubbed the girls back.
"We will be her no matter what you decide." Sam smiled.
