A perfect couple. Right, if only they knew. They looked good together, I'll give you that. Dylan, blonde, tall, and muscular and Kelsey, tall just shorter than Dylan, blonde and a ballerina's body. And their child, Katie, a blonde angel, her eyes like Dylan's, they have depth it's a wonder why you don't drown in them. The thing is if you only see that picture you don't see it all. If you widen the shot you see me and Dylan, a couple. I was shocked when Dylan told me he had a daughter. I mean Dylan is the one that makes sure were protected when we're together. How could he be that careless? I can't hate him for it though. He is just so cute. Katie is too. I met her last year before Dylan and I started dating. I don't know he is going to handle her being back. Are we going to pretend not to be a couple? I mean I think she sort of knows already. I mean that's what I inferred from Kelsey. She said she already knew that I was gay from what Katie told her about the visit. We weren't a couple but there were a couple of times we almost kissed. He became my best friend, the only person I knew that really understood hiding from your parents. My mom knows but my dad doesn't. He thinks that Dylan and I are best friends. I don't know how I'm going to break it to him. He is just so homophobic. I'm worried about how I'm going to deal with him. Oh well. Dylan said he was sorry for breaking up for me and we reached an agreement that he can touch me in public without me freaking out. Paige surprised me when I walked up when they were talking. I heard her telling Kelsey about me and Dylan. I was like, "Why in gods name are you outing me to a complete stranger?!?!" Kelsey turned and I thought she was familiar, like Katie a little. Then she made that comment that made me realize she was Katie's mom. It reminded me a little about that day that I found out about Katie.

In the cold weeks of winter break, I could most likely be found on the Michalchuck couch hanging out with Dylan. He understood me better than anyone I knew. I had a crush, okay, a big one. One day on the mantel, a new picture appeared. In it was a blonde girl who looked Dylan's age and a two year old whose eyes had an odd resemblance to Dylan's. "Paige who are these people, cousins?" I asked knowing in my gut that they were not cousins. "Um… no. Dylan hasn't told you?" She said not meeting my eyes. I stared at her with confusion. What hadn't Dylan told me? What was this secret? I was about to have a nervous break down. "I'll be right back," she said as she bounded up the stairs. I could hear her whisper to Dylan, "YOU haven't told HIM?!" "No. I was going to get to it. Why?" He whispered back. "The new picture she sent. Mom went a head and put it on the mantel, and he saw it. You better tell him about her, because it's too late to lie." She said her voice urgent. He walked down the stairs running his fingers through his blonde hair with a nervous smile on his face. I decided to pretend like I didn't over hear that conversation, I would let him tell me on his own time and terms. "Would you like anything to drink, Marco?" he asked. I shook my head "no." I just wanted to know this secret. I had this dread in the pit of my stomach that was growing into a big knot. "Marco... I guess there is no reason to beat around the bush. Those people in the picture is my best friend Kelsey who also happens to be my ex and my daughter, Katie. Yes, you heard me my daughter. I'm going to get Katie on Saturday if you want to meet her." He said in one rushed breath, he seemed relived to get that out. My worse nightmare had come true. Well actually it wasn't the worse thing. I mean him having HIV would be worse, but this was up there. I mean how was this going to affect us. I mean we were so close to becoming a real couple. Paige and Ellie had tried setting us up. But I think Dylan wanted to do it on his own, if he liked me. Paige assured me he did but well I wasn't sure. This was just so complicated. I sat there staring into space while Dylan waited for me to reply. He was clearing his voice trying to get my attention but I ignored him. I needed to think. I guess I was going to go with the flow. I really liked Dylan and if this was going to affect us let it try. I was going to hang around and try and have my shot at this wonderful guy. "I'd like to meet her," I said giving him a tight smile.

I'm glad that I stayed around. About a month later he asked me out. It has been almost a year and we are fine. I love him and he loves me. What could go wrong?
