Sorry this is shorter! I just wanted to try and clarify the storyline to those who were confused. Hopefully this helps!

Spencer's POV

The room was quiet and I thought it was time for me to explain. My mother looked as if someone punched her gut. Madison looked constipated. Kyla sat still. Sean was asleep between Chelsea and Clay. Glen looked like he was about to explode. My dad was silent and Ashley was blank.

When you put a group of people in a room, it will eventually drive them all crazy. Not the kind of crazy where everyone is laughing, but the kind you won't stop thinking you need help. With a bomb strapped across my chest I remained carefree. I was with the love of my life and couldn't ask for more. When half of the people in the room all hate each other it's a little worse. With that all secrets come out eventually and I wanted to be first.

"So I guess I should explain?" I said and everyone looked at me as if I had risen from the dead.

"I'll go first." Ashley said holding my hand.

"When Aiden and I where together a long time ago we had a complicated relationship with Stephanie to find out later she was a crazy stalker, When I first found out I was pregnant she tried to take the child saying it was hers and Aiden's not mine, which it was. She followed me around for days and made me to as she wished or else she threated to hurt my secret. A couple weeks later I miscarried which made her more upset, she has a fascination with Aiden and it's never gone away."

"So let me get this straight, no pun intended, this girl is psycho?" Madison said looking between Ashley and I. Ashley nodded.

"So why wasn't this I don't know handled?" Madison said crossing her arms in misbelief.

"It was. I had her arrested and a restraining order or whatever legal process. Then I came famous and I guess finding me would be easier. She met Spencer when we were coming back from Ohio. She was a flight attendant." Ashley said shifting beside me.

"That's convenient. Don't you think?"

"Really convenient." I said thinking about it.

"Why was she on your flight if you had a restraining order?" My mom asked possibly amused.

"Well, she has a job." Ashley seemed uncomfortable.

"Is there something you'd like to spit out?" I asked and Ashley breathed.

"Over the last couple of months I have possibly been getting more and more hate mail." Ashley barely said

"Yeah?" I asked and shifted.

"We can talk about it later if you're not ready." Ashley nodded and I smiled to her.

"So Spencer how's work?" My mom asked across the room and I found myself laughing.

"Actually really good, Ashley just bought a chunk of the business. I'm really excited." I could feel my checks press up and go into my gums. It felt good to smile about something.

"Hey Ash?" Kyla said walking through the door and everyone looked at her. Are you serious?

"Get down!" Ashley screamed and Kyla sat next to Madison.

"Why are you here?" Ashley asked.

"You texted me... you said you needed help at Spencer's... am I mistaken?" She asked looking around.

"Very."

"Why are we.. holy shit Spencer is that a bomb?!" Kyla screamed at me pointing to my chest. I nodded and I tried to not laugh at how ironic it was she showed up.

"What's going.."

"Stephanie." Ashley said.

"This fucking again!" Kyla screamed and remained quiet. I guess she understood how crazy this girl really was.

"Grand." My mom said unhappy. I shrugged it off.

"So Glen how's your life."

"Well." Glen smiled.

"Madison and I have been talking about having a baby." He said and everyone awed.

"That's awesome." Clay said and I looked at him sitting snug with Sean on his lap.

"Actually, I have news." Chelsea said.

"I am pregnant." She said and I got excited.

"That's just wonderful." Ashley smiled at them.

I looked over to see a quiet Kyla avoiding eye contact. I wanted to ask her if she was alright but her and Madison had a lot of awkward eye contact going on.

"So Spence what's it like having a bomb strapped to your chest?" Glen said.

Ashley looked at him like he was the dumbest person alive but she just shook her head.

"Well, I feel like I'm the bomb diggity." I tried to joke but no one laughed and I bit the corner of my mouth.

"Honestly it's just heavy. I'm trying not to focus on how I could die." I felt Ashley's hand form around me. My mom rolled her eyes at me.

"If we are all going to be stuck here, we should have a truce." I urged and I heard groans.

"I mean it." I said and everyone mumbled okay.

"Mom you and Ashley talk it out first."

"I'd rather not." My mom looked the other way.

"A woman with such a strong opinion doesn't want to talk. This is new." Ashley provoked. I nudged her and she looked down at me apologetically.

"You know what. I will talk. Ashley, I can't stand the fact that you are dating my daughter." She admitted looking higher than all.

"Oh my god! I had no idea." Ashley started sarcastically. My mom rolled her eyes.

"Is it the fact I'm a woman or the fact your daughter's happy?" Ashley asked and my attention was more tuned.

"The fact you're a woman?" my mom said and I looked at her in disbelief.

"Mom, Ashley is the only person I will ever love this much and nothing you will do can ever change that." I said looking at her and my mom looked defeated.

"I just want you token care of."

"I mean bad timing but I do take care of her." Ashley said.

"I promise everything I have that I'll make her happy and if I can't I won't make her stay. She deserves the world on a platter." Ashley said to my mother addressing her in a pleading voice.

"I guess, I'll get used to it." My mom smiled gently at Ashley and then turned to everyone else with a tear in her eye.

"What the hell are you looking at?!" She barked and everybody else turned around.

"Anybody else want to fess up?" I asked and Kyla looked away.

"Kyla do you want to share?" I asked sweetly.

"What the hell is this? Family therpy?" She asked and I jumped back.

"Your tone." Ashley said and Kyla backed down.

Madison was looking at Kyla in a death glare and I was eager.

"Can somebody just tell me something?" I said and they were quiet.

"I have an idea." My dad said and everybody turned at him. "We are all going to go around and say something that begins with the letter of our name." I decided to start.

"Sloths, Are, Classy, Kinda, Cool, Manipulative, Pleasant, And Great!" Glen finished screaming.

Everyone laughed. It was the stupidest thing I have ever done but it was what I needed.

"So Clay and I went to go pick up Sean from school, the little diva had thrown markers at the teacher because she wouldn't grade her paper first." Chelsea shared.

"I found an internship downtown creating sports gear." Glen shared.

"I just got promoted." Mom shared.

"I started a charity." Dad shared and I smiled at him.

"I'm being transferred to Afganistan as a doctor." Clay said and Chelsea held his hand.

"But you just found out about the baby." My mom exclaimed.

"This is true but I talked to one of the officers who's a good friend of mine. He persuaded me mom. I'm going to save lives of people who save mine every day. That's an honor." Clay beamed there was no stopping a determined Carlin.

"I had an affair." Kyla said and the room went quiet.

"Me too." I said.

"Me three." Ashley smiled.

"Me four." My mom said and everyone turned towards her.

And the secrets all come out.
