A week later, Luke was sitting at the table in the kitchen of the Snyder farm with his mother, while Reid rummaged through the fridge looking for left over apple pie.

"What's Julie doing today?" Lily asked, gluing a picture of an eight-year old Luke with a three-year old Faith on his lap into the scrapbook she had recently started making.

"She was on the phone with Melanie Jonas when we left her and she has a date tonight," Luke said absentmindedly, flipping through the old pictures of him and his family which were laid out on the table.

"A date? Like with a boy?"

"Yes, Mom. Like with a boy," Luke said. Reid chuckled as he sat down toting a plate of cookies he had found instead of the pie.

"What's his name? Do I know him?"

"Jacob and no you don't know him," Luke said, still looking at pictures.

"Do I know his parents?" Lily said, taking a picture from Luke's hand and putting glue on the back of it.

Luke and Reid looked at each other.

"What?" Lily asked, noticing their exchange of looks.

"Actually, you do," Luke said slowly.

"Who?"

Luke opened his mouth to speak, but closed it without saying anything.

"Tell me."

"Noah," Luke mumbled.

"I'm sorry?" Lily said.

Luke took a deep breath and said, "Jacob's father is Noah."

"Noah? Noah Mayer?" Lily asked, her eyebrows raised.

"Yeah," Luke said slowly.

"Noah's in Oakdale?"

Luke nodded.

"Apparently he's been living in Oakdale for about fifteen years," Reid told his mother-in-law.

"Have you seen him around?" Lily asked, confused.

"No. He lives all the way on the other side of town, literally right on the edge of Salem. That's basically where he lives. But because his address is in Oakdale, his son has to go to Oakdale High," Luke said.

"Have you seen him?"

"We went over to his house last weekend. We needed to have a little conversation with him," Luke said.

"What kind of conversation?"

"The kind where we told him he was acting like his father and that he can't tell his son who he can or can not date," Reid said.

"Julie came home one day a couple weeks crying that Jacob had broken up with her because of Reid," Luke elaborated. "Eventually, we were able to pry it out of her that Jacob is Noah's son."

"Noah told his son he couldn't date Julie because of Reid?" Lily asked.

"Seems he's been holding onto his little grudge against Reid for the last twenty years," Luke said, smirking.

"That's terrible," Lily said.

"It's okay. We straightened everything out," Reid said.

"And speaking of straight, Noah also apparently thinks he's straight again," Luke said, smiling falsely and widely.

"What do you mean?"

"He has a wife," Reid said bluntly.

"He practically came out – no pun intended – and said that what he and I had had wasn't real," Luke said.

Lily smiled sadly and patted Luke's hand. Reid kissed him on the cheek.

"It's fine, really," Luke said. "I honestly don't know what I ever saw in him."

"But you said that Julie has a date with Jacob," Lily said.

"Yeah. We convinced Noah that he'd get hell from us unless he didn't the kids go out with each other," Luke said.

Lily smiled slightly. "Just as long as long as you don't blackmail him, the way you did this one," Lily said, indicating Reid.

Luke and Reid laughed.
