Libby,

How in the HELL could you not tell me I had a kid! What kind of man do you think I am? Of course I'll take her. She's my daughter after all. Give me your phone number and send me a picture of Katie.

Brian.

Brian couldn't believe Libby had kept this from him. What he didn't know, is that Lindsay had as well.

He walked into the Diner and sighed, how was he going to tell everyone. More importantly, how the hell was he going to tell Justin?

"Bri what's wrong?" Mikey asked. "I have something important to tell you." Brian told him. Michael looked nervous, anytime Brian had something important to discuss it was usually bad.

"You look like hell." Deb told him. "Gee thanks Deb." He said sarcastically. "Is everyone here?" He asked Michael. "Yeah, Mel and Linds took Gus to the bathroom."

"Hey." Justin said coming over and giving him a kiss. "Hey Sunshine." He greeted him. "Bri what's wrong?" Justin asked. "I'll tell you in a minute." Brian told him. Once everyone was there, Brian took a deep breath. It felt weird to find it hard to say something to them, but they were his family, although he'd never admit it.

"I have a kid." He blurted out. "Well duh honey, we're looking at him." Deb said tickling Gus. "I mean I have another kid, a girl, her name's Katie." Brian told them. A chorus of "What!" and "When" came from each of them, all but Lindsay that is.

"Apparently some girl I knew in College, Libby Clarks, she was the only other woman I slept with other than Linds." Brian told them. "She wrote me a letter, it came yesterday, telling me I have a child, her name is Kaitlyn Brianna Kinney and from the birthday she gave me, it sounds right." "She's eleven, almost twelve." He added.

"Damn." Deb said quietly. "Brian, I don't know how to tell you this..." Lindsay started. "Tell me what Linds?" He asked growing suspicious. "I'm so sorry Brian, she made me swear not to tell you." She said almost in tears. "You knew." He said quietly. "Brian please." She said and he glared at her. "YOU FUCKING KNEW!" "HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME!" He yelled at her.

"Brian calm down." Justin said and Mel wrapped her arms protectively around Lindsay.

"Em, take Gus outside please." Debbie told him. "Sure, come on buddy." Emmett said and picked him up. Once Gus was out of hearing range Debbie fixed a glare on Brian. "Brian Aiden Kinney, if you don't calm down I swear I'll knock your ass from one end of Liberty to the other."

"She knew Deb, she knew I had a little girl and she never bothered to tell me!" He yelled at her. "Brian she made me swear! I didn't want to not tell you, you know you mean more to me than that!" Lindsay yelled through her tears. "There's more isn't there Bri." Justin said trying to defuse the situation.

"Libby has HIV, she got it from a former boyfriend and she asked me to take Katie in." He told him. "Are you going to?" Michael asked. "What the hell kind of question is that Mikey? She's my daughter, of course I'll take her." Brian told him. "How do you even know she's yours Brian?" Ben asked. "Truthfully, I don't, but I'm flying to Virginia as soon as I get a picture of her. I'll take a paternity test there." He told them. "I'm coming with you." Justin told him. "I didn't figure you'd let me go alone." Brian told him and kissed him. "Thanks baby." He whispered. "Anytime." Justin said and smiled.
