"So does Kirsten want to try and find her son?" Summer asked Seth as the two walked home with Ryan.

"I don't know. I mean its usually the kids who find their parents, but she seems like she'd be up to it." Seth said.

"Yeah, but are you up to it?" Ryan asked. "Do you want to meet this half brother?"

"Well hey as I said he's my brother, and I rock, so sure I'd wanna meet him." Seth said grinning.

"Ah Cohen you're such a dork." Summer said hitting his arm.

"Well do you think he'd try and find you guys?" Ryan asked.

"I dunno. Mom says they really don't know where he is or anything. S who knows." Seth replied.

"Okay well bye Ryan. Bye Cohen." Summer said kissing Seth and heading off to her house.

"So maybe we can expect a surprise visit one of these days from your bro?" Ryan said with grin.

"Well maybe, if he's heard of me wherever he lives then he's sure to wanna meet me." Seth said.

"Oh man I have no idea how your parents can stand you." Ryan said laughing.

"Oh whatever, when you meet my bro and he's like me, and we make Newport the best place to live you'll be sorry." Seth said.

"Yeah whatever Cohen." Ryan said still laughing.

"Oh my God!" Kirsten gasped. Tears filled her eyes as she saw her son standing there in front of her. She didn't know what to say and neither did Xander. They stood in silence for a moment and then Kirsten embraced Xander in a hug as the tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry. I never wanted to leave you, but I was so young and..." She trailed off into tears.

Xander was unsure of what to say to comfort her. He had never met this woman in his life, but he felt as if he had a huge connection with her. He really knew this was his mother and he wanted so much to let her know that it was okay.

"It's okay. Kirsten please don't cry. I'm okay. Life has been okay." Xander said.

"You must have so many questions. And you must want to tell me everything about yourself." Kirsten said trying to wipe away her tears.

"Yeah I guess I do have a lot of questions." Xander said trying not make it obvious that he also was on the brink of tears.

"Well you let me clean myself up a little and we can talk all you want. Are you staying anywhere?" Kirsten asked tears still streaking her cheeks.

"Well no not yet." Xander said.

"You're welcome to stay here as long as you need. I'll intoduce you to my husband and we'll talk. Can I get you anything to drink?" She asked.

"No, no I'm fine." Xander said.

Kirsten walked to her room and broke down again. Sandy, not even knowing what was going on took her in his arms and tried desperately to comfort her.

"What's going on? Who was that?" Sandy asked. "Is everyone okay?"

"Yes. Yes its nothing like that. It's him Sandy. It's my son." Kirsten said through tears.

"Oh my God. He found you?" Sandy said.

"Yes, and I am so afraid he hates me for leaving him. I don't even know if he's had a good life." Kirsten said. "I need to clean up so we can talk about everthing. Will you go an talk to him while I wash up."

"Yeah, yeah I'll get him a drink or something." Sandy said rubbing his wifes back. "Don't worry babe, I'm sure he doesn't hate you, or he wouldn't have come for you."

"Thanks Sandy. I love you." Kristen said hugging him before he got up to leave.

"Xander?" Sandy asked.

"Oh hello." Xander said standing up quickly.

"Sandy Cohen." Sandy said shaking Xander's hand.

"Are you...well are you..." Xander tried to say.

"No, no I'm not your father." Sandy said feeling only sympathy for Xander at that moment. "I know Kirsten will explain most of it, but your father's name is Jimmy Cooper."

"Okay I thought I'd better get that cleared up." Xander said cheering up a little, and getting less nervous.

"Okay, I'm okay now. Lets talk." Kirsten said as everyone took a seat in the living room.

"Where to begin. Do you have any questions Alexander? Xander was it?" Kirsten said.

"Yes Xander Harris. Well I am not sure what to aks really. I mean I don't know anything about you." Xander said nervously.

"Well let me start by saying that I was young when I had you. Your real father Jimmy Cooper was my boyfriend at the time, and he only just found out he had a son somewhere. I have a son with Sandy. His name is Seth, and he is several years younger than you." Kirsten explained. "I suppose he'd be your half brother. And Jimmy has a daughter, Marissa who's Seth's age. We also have Ryan Atwood living with us. We like to think of him as an adopted son as sorts."

"So I have siblings?" Xander said finally showing a smile on his face.

"Yeah." Kirsten said, smiling herself, "Well can we hear about you? About your life? Parents? Friends?"

"Yeah. Well my parents actually are no longer alive." Xander began wondeing how they would react, "I have to be honest and say they were not the best parents, but I've had a good life. My best friends Willow Rosenberg and Buffy Summers have been there for me, and we've had fun. I lived in Sunnydale, California, but I have been living with my friends in Rome for the last few months."

"Wow you traveled all that way. Thats amazing." Sandy said.

"Yeah. I didn't have any siblings, although Buffy's younger sister Dawn is a lot like my sister too." Xander said. "Will I be able to meet Seth, Marissa and Ryan? Are they youger than me?" Xander asked.

"Yes the kids are still in high school. And you will be able to meet them all." Kirsten said. "How do you feel about all of this?"

"Well I want you to know that I don't hate you at all. I wanted to find and meet you. And I am still glad I did. I mean really if you hadn't have given me up I wouldn't have met my best friends. And now I have them and you guys I hope, so the best of both worlds." Xander said, sounding more like his old self.

"Well you will defiantely like our Seth." Sandy said grinning, "you seem so much like him."

"Yeah and you're welcome to stay with us unless you need to go back." Kirsten said.

"No, no I'd love to stay. I never really had a real family so I am excited to get to know you all." Xander said, "Especially Seth and them."

"Great. You have no idea how much you've brightened my day." Kirsten said as her eyes filled with tears again. "Thanks Xander."

"Mom, we're home!" Seth called from the entryway.

"Okay could you both come in here please."
