"Hey Ash, its Aiden, call me when you get in," he said to the answering machine, "I have to talk to you."

Ashley got the message when they came in, "Hey," she said when she called him back, "Whats up?"

"Ash, I am just gonna come right out and say it..."

"Okay, then why haven't you?"

"Stop it!" he paused, "Ash, I kissed Skye today."

"You what!"

"I think I really like her..."

"I can not believe you..."

"Yeah, I know Ash, but I, I mean, I stopped it after the kiss."

"Well how valiant," Ashley replied sarcastically.

"Ashley, I want to go forward with her, but I can't do that until I have your blessing."

"My blessing? You're 19 years older than she is. As old as her father. She's pregnant for pete's sake!"

"You don't think that I haven't thought about that? It isn't like its pedophilia. I can take care of her while she's pregnant, I can take care of the baby."

"You know what I think Aiden?"

"No, but I think you're going to tell me."

"I think that you're just wanting to regain what we once had. She is exactly what I was at 16, just a little older. You want me, but you can't have me, so you're settling for the next best thing. Me, with a little Spencer in her, just remember that she's half Carlin. I don't mean Spencer type Carlin, I mean Glen 'ass' type Carlin. I mean, he's got some of the same DNA as she does, but not all of it."

"Ash, stop. You're not making sense any more."

Spencer walked into the room after having put Parker to bed, curious to hear what had gotten Ashley all riled up, "Whats going on?"

"Aiden wants to date Skye."

"REALLY?"

"Wait, that was an understatement. He kissed her tonight!"

"You have got to be kidding me!"

"I'm not kidding," she started talking into the phone, "Fine. Go ahead."

"Are you serious? Thank you Ashley."

"Hey, you're an adult. Do what you want."

"Ash, you rock."

Ashley smirked, "I know."

Aiden laughed, "You haven't changed."

Spencer walked closer to Ashley, "Hey. You gonna pay any attention to me?" she wrapped her arms around Ashley's waist. She kissed the nape of Ashley's neck.

Ashley giggled, "Stop it, stop it. I'm trying to talk on the phone."

Spencer didn't stop, she delighted in the response she elicited from Ashley.

"Oh fuck it," Ashley said to herself, "Goodnight Aiden," she hung up the phone and dropped it on the floor. She turned to Spencer and kissed her, "why did you," she said between kisses, "do that?" she asked.

"You know you liked it," Spencer replied.

"Yeah..." Ashley trailed into Spencer's mouth.

Thats when the phone rang.

"Damn," Spencer said as she pulled away, "Hello?" she got the phone from the floor.

"Spencer, hi," it was her mother, "I heard about um, Glen's, I mean Ashley's, I mean their..."

"Daughter," Spencer finished.

"From your dad," Paula continued where Spencer had left off, "And I thought it would be appropriate, since our families sort of combine now, well, I was wondering if you, Parker, Ashley and..."

"Skye, mom. Her name is Skye."

"Want to have Sunday dinner with Glen, his wife and kids. Clay'll be there too, with his wife."

Spencer sighed. She'd stopped making out with Ashley for this? "I don't think we can do it this Sunday. I mean thats tomorrow," Spencer wanted Glen's wife to have the opportunity to meet Skye before Paula did, "I'll talk to them Mom."

"Well good. Just give me a call later on this week."

"Okay Mom."

"I love you Spencer."

"Love you too Mom."

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight Mom," she hung up the phone and set it on the kitchen counter, "She wants to have the new entire family for dinner."

"Meaning?"

"Dad told her about Skye, and Glen's involvement, and she wants to have Me, you, Skye, Parker, Glen, blah, blah, blah, over for a nice Sunday dinner."

"Okay. I can handle that. Skye'll be in her element. Her adoptive mother is just like your mom."

Spencer wanted to protest, but she knew it was true, "Come on," she said instead, "we've talked enough about my mom," she pulled on Ashley's hand, "Lets go to bed. I'll wear that blue number."

Ashley smiled, "Okay."

Meanwhile, Aiden headed back to Skye's apartment, he knocked on the door. Skye answered it in a semi-revealing night gown.

"You're back?" she asked.

"Yeah. There was just something I had to do," Aiden replied, "before I could feel okay about what happened earlier."

"What?" Skye played pretended poorly to play dumb, "You mean something like this?" she brought him in for a long kiss.

Aiden was taken aback, "Yeah," he smirked, "Yeah. Something like that."

They sat down on the couch.

"Look, I know I'm a young unwed mother, and that I'm the daughter of your ex-girlfriend and your other ex-girlfriend's brother, but I'd like it if you could see me for me, and not for all that."

"Thats why I'm here."

"Okay, just so we've gotten that straight."

"I mean, don't get me wrong, you do bear some resemblance to Ashley, and that might have made me think, when I saw the movie that you're sexy. But you've got a totally different personality."

"Personality huh? Isn't that code for when guys think a girl isn't attractive?"

"No. No, thats not it. I'm just saying that you may look like her, but you don't act like her. Anyways, I called Ashley up, and she gave me her blessing. I had to have that before I could proceed."

"I understand that, and I respect it."

"Thats good," he kissed her tenderly.

They watched a movie. Aiden's cell phone rang as he was about to leave, "Hello?"
"Hey Aiden," it was his soon to be ex-wife, "In the interest of full disclosure, and so you know whats going on in the kids' lives, I wanted to know if you wanted to meet my girlfriend Maddy."

"I... sure. Should I ask my sorta girlfriend to join us?"

"Yeah. I was thinking lunch, tomorrow or sometime next week."

"Hang on. She's right here," he put the phone on hold and turned to Skye, "My wife just called. She wants to know if I want to go to lunch with her and her new girlfriend. Do you want to come?"

"Sure," Skye replied.

"Its fine if you don't. I mean its not like we're even dating yet."

"I said sure."

"Okay," he put his phone back to his ear, "She says sure."

"Are you free for lunch tomorrow? How's Lozario's sound?"

"I am free tomorrow," he turned to Skye, "Are you free for lunch tomorrow?"
"Yeah."

"So then its settled. Lunch tomorrow at Lozario's. There is a couple things you should know about Skye. She's considerably younger than me, and she's pregnant, but its not my baby. I just met her a couple days ago."

"Okay. I'll keep that all in mind when I brief Maddy about you."

"Anything I should know about her?"

"No, I don't think there is anything too weird about her."

"Alright. So I'll see you tomorrow.

"Goodnight Aiden."

"'Night," he closed his phone, "I should say goodnight to you too," he said to Skye, "I'll come by around 11:20 to pick you up."

"Okay. Goodnight Aiden."

"Goodnight," he kissed her, "Sleep well," he turned towards the door, and went back to his own apartment.
