To avoid confusion, I'll refer to Karin/Kari as Kari all the way through the chapter

Here's the chapter:

"I still don't understand one thing"

TK had taken Kari back to his apartment after picking his daughter up from the day care centre. He had told her all about his 'partner' Alex (whose surname was Takashi because they swapped surnames) and she had told him about Josh, but there was one thing Kari still didn't understand.

"What's wrong?" TK asked as he put Karly down on a play mat. Josh sat next to her as if he was intrigued by someone so small and watched her as she grabbed the brightly coloured rings and stuffed them into her small mouth.

"Where did Karly come from?"

"Oh...um...er"

"What?"

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"Yes"

"Karly is Matt's kid"

"WHAT?"

"Calm down"

"I am calm, I just can't believe he..."

"You really have to hear the whole story"

"Go on then"

TK took a deep breath, "Well, after you left, he just fell apart. He dropped out of school and quit his band and just, I dunno, he just was all depressed and stuff"

"And Karly?"

"He started getting drunk all the time. About two or three years ago he got REALLY drunk and raped a girl"

"HE WHAT?" Kari was dumbfounded. She couldn't imagine her leaving would have such an effect on the one she loved.

"Then what?" she asked

"He got thrown in jail. When little Karly was born, her mother committed suicide"

"Who was it? Someone I knew"

"Yes"

"Who?"

There was silence from TK

"God dammit TK, who the hell is Karly's mother?"

TK looked at Kari. Then he said quietly, with tears in his eyes "It was Mimi."

Kari was stunned, and then she burst into tears. She cried for a few minutes before asking, "How did you get Karly?"

TK laughed gently "Me and Sora pretended to be married and I said I'd never heard of Matt and we adopted Karly in my name. By the time the authorities had found out it was too late for them to do anything"

Kari tried to smile at this but she failed. "Where's Matt now"

"Still in prison. He gets out in a couple of months though. Since he was drunk at the time they only gave him 3 years"

(Authors note: I am not a lawyer, I do not know if this is possible. I do not know any lawyers so I do not know the law. My experience of the law consists of films and television)

"And how's, you know, everyone?"

"You mean your brother?"

"Yes"

"Fine"

"What do you mean fine?"

"I mean fine"

"There's something you aren't telling me, isn't there?"

"No"

"Oh, OK then," Kari looked at her watch," I have to go, I'm doing a concert tonight."

"OK, see ya"

Kari grabbed Josh and left.

That evening, Matt came to TK's apartment. Alex was out off town for a few days so Matt was staying with TK until he got his own apartment. (In case you didn't quite get it, TK lied to Kari. Mimi did kill herself and all that but Matt WAS out of prison)

"Hey TK, guess what"

"What?"

"I got tickets to see that Karin Ishida person tonight. Tai gave me them because he pulled strings and Karin is supposed to sing a song for Sora or summit like that, wanna go?"

"No"

"Why not?"

"Someone has to look after Karly, and your still on probation"

"I bribed the police and Mom's already said she'd do it, so come on"

There was no way out of it and TK did want to hear Kari sing but he had told her Matt was in prison.

"OK"

"Great" Matt grinned at his brother before scooping Karly up and throwing her into the air. Karly shrieked happily.

"Don't do that"

"Why not, she's MY daughter"

"She just ate"

Karly threw up all over Matt. (AN: hahahahahahaha!)

"Told you so," said TK

"I'm telling you, as soon as I have a place to live and a job, I'm getting my daughter back and everything will be all right"

"Yeah right" muttered TK under his breath.

Later that night, while Matt was asleep, TK walked into Karly's room and looked down at her sleeping form. "Matt is never going to get you"

Hope you enjoyed and I'll write the next chapter ASAP

(Ooooh, TK is getting evil!)

Luv and hugs to you all

PS I do not hate Mimi, she was the only name that was convenient
