The second I got home from dinner, I went in my room and called Kat.

"Hey Kat," I said, trying to sound casual.

"Hey Jane. My family's coming over in 10 minutes, so if you want to ask me something, make it quick!"

"Okay, so, last night at dinner was a disaster. I'm sure that you and your relatives, well our relatives, are going to talk about it in a few minutes. But, we should arrange a time for me, my mom, my dad, and my grandparents to meet and talk this out."

"Okay. Naturally, my mom and dad are going to want to come too. And doesn't this make us cousins or something like that?"

"Yeah, it does. Since your parents are going to come, please come too. And make sure that Sarah doesn't."

"Of course I'll come. It'll be hard to get Sarah not to come or even for Eric to come. She's very controlling of him."

"Yeah, I've noticed,"

"My family is here, so I've got to go. I'll make sure to call you later."

"Okay, bye Kat,"

"Bye Jane,"

After figuring out what I was going to say, I called Graham.

"Hello?" he sounded tired.

"Hi Graham. I'm sorry that we haven't talked in a few days, but a lot of stuff has been coming up."

"Oh, Jane. Yeah, Ally told us a bit about what's been happening."

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah. So, is it him?"

"Yes,"

"Wow. How are you feeling?"

"Weird. I thought that I would be satisfied knowing who my dad is. But this whole situation is just so complicated and awkward."

"Oh, I'm sorry that things aren't how you wanted them to be. But just remember Jane, I'll always be there for you."

"Thanks Graham. That means a lot to me."

"You're welcome. Hey, I have to do, but I'll call you later. I love you."

"I love you too. Bye Graham."

"Bye Jane,"

Kat called the next day. She had arranged for our parents to meet at a Starbucks at 4:00 this afternoon, and Sarah didn't know anything about it.

When I got to Starbucks, I ordered an Iced White Chocolate Mocha. I know that it's super bad for me, but all of the sugar and fat will help calm me down. My mom was getting fidgety. This was just as, if not more, nerve wracking for her than it was for me.

Kat walked in before everyone else did. "They're all really tense," she explained.

After 10 minutes, my mocha was almost halfway done, and nobody had come in yet. "For God's sake, I'll go get them," my mother got up and walked outside.

When they got inside, I started to mentally freak out. I had no idea what I could or should say to any of them. They all gathered on one side of the table with Kat while my mom and I were on the other.

I remembered that this was the first time that they had seen my mom since before I was born. Nobody seemed like they wanted to speak up. After 5 minutes, somebody finally piped up.

"So, um, you had a kid," my dad said uncomfortably.

"Not just any kid. Our kid. Your first kid. And your only daughter." My mom sounded uneasy as well.

"Uh huh. So, what are we going to do about this?"

"I don't know. You can't divorce your wife, but I'm sure that she wants me dead."

"Oh, I know, believe me. Donna, why didn't you ever try to tell me that you were going to have a baby?"

My mom and my grandmother each gave him death stares. "Eric, you have no idea how many times we tried to do that," everybody was shocked that my grandmother had said this.

"Kitty, you knew about this? Why didn't you tell me? I am her grandfather after all." Red said.

"Yeah, what the hell, mom?" Eric said.

"We tried and we tried, but we could never get through to you! We had to give up after you got married and had Danny." My grandmother replied.

"Still, that's a huge thing to keep secret from me! You knew that she was living here. Why didn't you ever bring me out to meet her?"

"Well honey, your father and I made an agreement not to travel anymore. But we realized that it was ridiculous, so we broke it off a few years ago."

"I remember when you told me that, Kitty. Which brings me to this question: if you agreed to travel again, then why wouldn't you come to New York?" my mom was on the verge of becoming enraged.

"It's still all so complicated, Donna. Of course I would want to spend time with you and my granddaughter. Of course I thought about bringing Eric here to meet her. But I had no idea how I would do that, especially with Sarah."

"Forman, I'm just going to come out and say this because I know that we all think it's true: Your wife is a bitch," Hyde said.

"Yeah," everyone said simultaneously as Kat and I covered our mouths and tried not to laugh.

"Oh I know, believe me. I don't know why I ever married her. I wish that I hadn't. But I can't divorce her now, my sons are too young. But when I do, I'll do everything in my power to get fully custody."

"Uh, not to interrupt or anything, but I feel like Jane hasn't been having any say in this. We're dealing with her, remember?" Kat said.

"Oh, right. Jane, what are your thoughts about all of this?" my dad asked me.

I had so much that I wanted to say. I felt like getting up and running away again, but I couldn't. I had to face this head on, right now.

"Personally, I don't care what you do about this. I grew up without a family for nearly 17 years and I've turned out fine. You can divorce your wife if you want, but don't date my mom unless that's what you both want."

"Well, that's mature. I thought that you would be urging me to marry your mom so that your family isn't broken."

His words pissed me off. "I'm not broken; you don't need to fix me. You know, I've always wanted to meet you, to see what having a normal family is like. But now I realize that I don't need you, and I don't need to have a happy, perfect family. I'm just a person that you created. We don't have any emotional bonds. And I'm old enough that I don't need that from you."

After I was done with my spiel, it was obvious that nobody knew what to say.

"Well, this is awkward. I think that I'm going to go and let you guys work this out." Mr. Hyde got up and left.

"I'm sure that Sarah's starting to get suspicious. Come on Kitty." My grandparents followed Mr. Hyde out.

"Yeah, it was great to see you again Donna. Bye now." Mrs. Hyde dragged Kat out with her.

I sat there in silence with my parents, who looked like they were having a staring contest with each other. I didn't dare say anything for the fear that I would screw things up even more. I had no idea what was going to happen, but I hoped that everything would turn out right in the end.

A/N: So, do you like this? Are you shocked? I'm getting down to the last 3-4 chapters. I promise that the ending will be good.
