"Mommy Daddy!" said Maddox tugging on his father's hand. "Can me and Jazzy go pick out cereal"
"Ok fine." he sighed. "You each get one box, don't wander off anywhere else you got it?" he said sternly. Both 6 year olds nodded as the raced into the store already knowing what aisle contains thier precious cereal.
"So you wanna tell me what you told Jazz?" asked Wesley under his breath as the moved down the produce aisle, he pushed the cart, his knuckles going white from squeezing the bar to tightly.
"I didn't tell her anything, one of my co-workers called and she asked them what a Condon was and-" yet she stopped in mid sentence. "Wesley" said a voice from his past.
"Gunn" he merely replied shocked. "Hey Charles I-" yet Winerfred Burkle stopped in mid-sentence. "Wesley." she merely gasped.
"Fred" he said breathlessly.
"So you and Lilah your-" Fred started yet was interrupted b "Married." said Lilah defensively showing them the ring. "6 years"
"Uuh wow." said Gunn awkwardly. "Good for you." he sighed rubbing the back of his neck.
"Umm you still evil?" asked Fred.
"Yes," said Lilah matter of factly. "Wes"
"Umm no, I'm a doctor now." he said nervously.
"Oh wow." said Fred in disbelief.
"Yeh, two years of medical school with academy, two years right after we got married." he said nervously.
"DADDY!" screamed Jazz running up to him. "Daddy, Maddox took my cereal"
"I did not!" said Maddox defedently. Gunn and Fred merely looked at them eyes opened wide in disbelief.
"Uuuh"
"Gunn, Fred meets Jazz and Maddox. My Children." he said slightly nervously.
"Oh so you two got married because"
"I got pregnant yeh," said Lilah.
"Oh thank god," sighed Fred. Everyone looked at her awkwardly. "I mean, ummm good for you"
"Your tall." said Maddox. Looking up at Gunn.
"Hey kiddo." he grinned kneeling down on one knee.
"Whats your name'
"Gunn, yours"
"Maddox, Mr. Gunn how'd you become so tall"
"I ate my vegetables"
"Yeh right! I'm not stupid! I know that's just a thing adults say so you don't feed your spiniage to the fish"
"That's how Goldy died?" said Wesley as if finally just realizing. Maddox laughed nervously.
"Yes well we really must be going now," said Lilah taking Wesley's hand. "Yeh, I'm hungry," said Jazz as she held onto her fathers other hand protectively. She saw the Fred girl...she saw how her mother looked at her and her father...this girl was trouble. "Then I guess I'll be going, nice seeing you again," he said honestly. They nodded and turned. "Guys" he cried back. "I mean it to," they both merely smiled as Wesley's family pulled him away.
"So Wes, Jazz wants to know what the birds and the bees are. I thought you and Fred could explain it to her." she said in a cold tone of voice.
"LILAH!" shouted Wesley.
