A/N: In this chapter and probably the chapters that follow will be focused on Alexis and Phoenix due to the serious screw up that ABC Network made in regards to Stana Katic and Tamala Jones. I cannot bring myself to write about Caskett or even Esplaine in this fanfiction after the mistake that ABC made over a week ago. This mistake is also the reason why I haven't updated this fanfiction since April 14th. If you have an issue with the focus being switched then that's you're opinion.

A few weeks later, Phoenix's parents were celebrating their anniversary. That in turn meant the entire Matthews clan; in-laws, grandkids, other family members and family friends were gathering together to celebrate this special occasion. Alexis and Phoenix were still in the beginning stage of their marriage by the time the Matthews' anniversary came around. So around mid-afternoon on a Wednesday, Phoenix swung by Alexis's work to pick her up for their drive to the Matthews' home.
By the time, Phoenix and Alexis had pulled into the driveway at the Matthews; there was at least one other car sitting there besides the ones that belong to Mr. and Mrs. Matthews. Once they had gotten out of the car, Phoenix and Alexis could hear that the festivities had already started inside the house.
"Hello, we're here." Phoenix called out after he and Alexis walked in the front door.
Within seconds of announcing their arrival, Phoenix and Alexis were bombarded by their nephews.
"Uncle Phoenix! Aunt Alexis!" Nate and Noah said as they went into full on hug mode.
Charlie, Andy along with Charlie and Phoenix's parents followed the kids to the front of the house. The adults exchanged greetings as Nate and Noah went back to the video game they were in the middle of when Phoenix and Alexis arrived. Slowly but surely the adults made their way to the kitchen where Mrs. Matthews was cooking dinner for the family. Mr. Matthews asked his son and daughter in law if he could get them anything to drink. Alexis had said yes to a glass of wine while Phoenix said yes to a beer.
"So how's married life treating the two of you?" Andy asked.
"It's been pretty good so far." Phoenix answered.
"Better yet, when am I going get a grandbaby from you two?" Mrs. Matthews asked.
As Alexis stepped back and recalled when she overheard Kevin tell her parents about being bombarded by in-laws when it came to starting a family, Phoenix was too stunned to respond. So Charlie came to their aide.
"Really Mom? Give them a break, they literally just married."
Mrs. Matthews shook her head. "I only ask since Marco and I aren't getting any younger."
"That's true, Dahlia; we aren't, but Phoenix and Alexis are still kids themselves."
After that the conversation continued on as dinner continued to cook.
