"Wait a minute, what are you saying here mom?" Shane asked as they sat in the living room. The day started out late, Vince and Linda just said screw going to the office today, and having Shane and Marissa over was going to be the ending to another long day.

"Listen Shane, it's not hard to understand. Your father has a daughter Sarah, she thirteen. And all I ask, all that we ask is that you nice to her, she's a great kid, who got caught in the middle of this. Now her mother died recently so your father has taken custody of her, like he should" Linda explained. "Shane be the man we all know you are. She's part of this family now be nice that's all," Marissa said. "I don't understand how you're handling this so well? He lied to you. He lied to all of us." Shane said. "Shane, there was really no other way to do this, I encouraged him to go and take responsibility for what he did. Learn to accept change cause with your father it happens a lot and as your parents we're asking you not to make this any more difficult then it is," Linda said "Where they now?" Shane asked. "To pass the time, your father took her to a soccer game, Huskies I believe that's what the team is for UCONN I'm not sure. But they should be returning any moment now." Linda said getting up to finish dinner. "I'm sure Steph and Paul should be here any minute also," Marissa said. "I wonder why he never told any of us." Shane asked Marissa after Linda went into the kitchen. "Shane, think about it. He was ashamed of what he did, he was probably afraid of losing your mother if he told her something like that. The man makes a major mistake in his life and then only to have a constant reminder of what he did by having her, all though I'm sure he loves her like he loves you and Steph." Marissa said standing up " And look your father's home, so give this a chance and don't be an ass" she warned.

Vince walked in followed by Sarah. "I'm telling you they were ripped off by the ref's, are you getting old that you didn't see this. Ray Charles saw it," Sarah said. "Face the facts kid the Huskies just could not pull it off against Penn State," Vince stated. "Well Penn State can kiss my ass" "Watch it, I let you get away with that one, but watch your mouth there won't cursing in this house" Vince said. "What if I'm out-side the house, doesn't that have an effect on the rule, cause technically if I stand out side the door it isn't in the house," "No, it doesn't. No cursing." Vince laughed. "Shane, Marissa, I'm glad your here, I want you both to meet Sarah, Sarah my son Shane and his wife Marissa," Vince said noticing they were there. Marissa stepped forward first. "Hi, I'm Marissa, Shane's wife as noted by Vince. It's nice to meet you, we've heard a lot about you." "Nice to meet you to Marissa," Sarah smiled.

"I'm Shane, Your brother, and if there's anything I or Marissa can do for you let us know" Shane said. "Hey that's cool, nice to meet you also." Sarah said smiling. Linda walked in and smiled to see everyone getting along "How was the game?" She asked "It was so cool; the goal keeper is the coolest person alive, wiped out three of the players." Sarah said. "It was a great game, Penn State won," Vince smiled at how excited she was over the game. "And not because they had a better team, but because the Ref's screwed UCONN, it was unreal." Shane added with a smile. "I like you, we're going to get along well I can see this," Sarah said "Well dinner will be ready in a half hour, so get washed up" Linda smiled. Sarah ran up the stairs to get cleaned up singing soccer chants. Vince put his arms around Linda and kissed her. "I'm glad to see you had fun today" She smiled. "I did, I had a great time. Who would have guessed? And Shane what you did was great. I'm very proud, thank you" Vince said. "Anything for you and mom, I couldn't help but notice how happy you seemed when you came in, so why ruin a good thing, right? I'm glad she does that for you. That's got to be cool kid. And I'm sure we'll get along just fine." Shane said. "She is, just wait till you get to know her, you two will get along real well." Vince said as he started towards the kitchen. "Wait a minute! Where are you going?" Linda asked "You smell like dirt and sweat, go take a shower" "Wow, take no prisoners on this smell huh?" Vince laughed, "All right, I'll be back" he said hugging her. "Eew, Get out of here" She laughed pushing him away. "Its unbelievable" Marissa said standing there with Shane and Linda, "She looks like him, you can see that immediately" "I said the same thing, when I saw her, soon as I first met her. She is no doubt his daughter" Linda said. "I still can't believe it" Shane said, "this is all too much." "Shane it will take awhile to get use to, just don't worry about it so much" "How'd you adjust so fast?" he asked "Shane, as I said before when you know your father for as long as I have, you learn to expect everything at any given moment," Linda laughed.

"Hello, I'm here" Steph called from the front door. "We're in here, Steph" Linda called from the living room. Steph walked in expecting to find Shane, Marissa, Mom, Dad, but hold up, who the hell was this. Hold wait a minute I most have missed something Steph thought to herself. "Hello" Steph said. "Stephanie, your father and I want you to meet Sarah, Sarah this is Stephanie." Linda said, Steph stood for a moment "Hi" She said stepping forward and shaking her hand, "Oh I'm sorry, this is Paul, Paul this is Sarah" "Nice to meet you, I've heard so much about you both," Sarah said. "Well its nice to meet you" he said shaking her hand. "Yeah I think I should explain this just a bit more. Steph, to but in simply, Sarah is your sister" Vince said. "Oh Ok, I guess I missed something along the way, but I'm assuming I'll be filled in here to the full extent of things," Steph said. "What's not to understand she's your sister, who must have been hiding all these years, but hey that's cool" Paul said.

"Paul you know what I mean, try to stay focused here" Steph said. "Actually I guess you could say I was hiding in Chicago for the last few years, I lived there with my mother, up until she passed away, in which I was brought here to be with Vince my father. In which he will spend the next years listening to me rant about Notre Dame, The Yankees, Soccer and whatever else crosses my mind, in which is a lot." Sarah said. "I swear Steph I thought I never see anyone talk more then you did, but let me tell ya I was wrong" Vince said. "Yeah I talk a lot, all though I found talking too much can get me in trouble. I guess some people aren't ready for what I'm gonna say." "For some reason I don't think I'm ready" Vince laughed. "I could have used you before to out number Shane, I mean me alone was useless, even now with Paul it's still useless," Steph said poking Paul "But any who if you ever need anything call me or Marissa, in fact call us both between the two of us we really know how to shop" "I'll remember that" Sarah laughed. "This is what I'm talking about, no one could ever be more proud about their family then I am right now" Vince smiled. "I totally agree," Linda added in.
