Aiden's wife Natasha and her girlfriend were already at the table when Aiden and Skye got there. He could see Natasha's face, as he and Skye walked towards the table hand in hand. She smiled and stood up as they came closer. The girlfriend followed suit and stood up. She turned around, so that Aiden saw her. Aiden almost laughed when he saw her.

"Oh my god," she scoffed looking down at the floor.

"Hey Natasha," Aiden said, giving Natasha a half hug, while still holding Skye's hand.

"Hi Aiden. This is my girlfriend."

"Aka the woman you left me for," he played just slightly dumb

"Yeah, that too. Madison."

"We've kinda already met..." Aiden trailed off

"You know her?"

"This is Skye. Skye, this is Natasha," Aiden tried to ignore the question.

"Aiden, you can't weasel out of this one. If you don't tell me she will."

Aiden sat down, after delivering Skye to her seat, "We knew each other in high school."

"Knew? Like how?" Skye questioned.

"Lets just say that she's one of five now," Aiden whispered in Skye's ear.

Skye figured it out quickly and laughed, "Can I go call Ashley and Spencer?" she whispered back.

"Fine," he said back.

Skye started getting up from the table

"Wait!" Madison finally spoke again, "Did I just hear the names 'Ashley and Spencer' in the same sentence?"

"Yes..." Skye said hesitantly.

"How do you know them?"

"Okay, I'm just going to put all the cards on the table right now," Aiden told them, "Skye is Ashley's daughter."

"That is so sick Aiden. You can't get Ashley, so you get her daughter?"

"Madison, its not like that!"

"Whatever Aiden."

"As if it wasn't twisted enough already, she's Glen's daughter too."

"What?" Madison exclaimed.

"Yeah. I won't go into that."

"Fine."

"So you're the reason I'm not going to be married to my wife any more?" Aiden asked Madison.

"You know how many girls you've turned gay Aiden?" Madison deflected.

"Five. That I know of."

"Not a very good track record is it?"

"No, its not," Aiden said frankly.

"This was such a mistake," Natasha muttered to herself.

"Its not your fault sweetheart," Madison told Natasha, "If Aiden didn't have such a poor track record, then maybe his exes wouldn't be falling for each other."

"Hey, but at least my exes have all found love within the little group of 'Aiden's exes'. They seem to really like dating each other."

"I can't handle this," Natasha muttered, leaving the table and going out the door.

"Tasha!" Madison cried after her, following out the door.

Skye laughed as Natasha and Madison fled, "Ashley would have killed to have been here. She took out her phone, "You don't mind if I call her, do you?"

"Go on ahead."

She dialed Ashley, "Hey Ash. You're never gonna believe it."

"Whats up?"

"So Aiden and I just went out to lunch with his ex-wife Natasha, and her new girlfriend 'Maddy'. Turns out she was someone Aiden used to 'know'. Tell her who this 'Maddy' was Aiden," she ordered, handing over the phone.

"Madison Duarte, queen cheerbitch, queen of the lesbophobes herself," he said into the phone.

Ashley laughed, "God, I so had her pegged," she continued laughing, "Hey Spence! Madison came out."

"Out of what?"

"She's dating Aiden's ex-wife."

"You're kidding me."

"Nope. I told you so."

Spencer laughed appreciatively, "That you did. Can I talk to Skye?"
"Yeah," Ashley handed over the phone.

"Hello?" Spencer said into the phone.

"Hi Spencer," Skye was back on the line.

"So my mom wants to have us to dinner next week. So if you want to meet Glen's wife and your half-siblings before then, you'd better do it quickly. I'd suggest meeting them before you meet Mom. Too many new people in one day is a bad idea. Besides, Barbara and the kids are much nicer than my mom."
Skye laughed, "I'll keep that in mind."

With a couple more in tow than the last time they'd had a big family dinner at the Carlin house, Ashley and Spencer pulled into the large driveway.

"So, you nervous?" Ashley asked Skye.

"Yeah," Skye admitted.

"Well you've met everyone but Mom, and Clay's family."

"Clay is the good Carlin boy," Ashley explained.

"Must be because he isn't related," Spencer laughed.

They got out of the car, Ashley still laughing at Spencer's joke. She went over to Skye and whispered, "You're blood, she can't hate you as much as she does me."

"Thats reassuring," Skye replied.

Spencer opened the door, "Hello?"
"Spencer!" her dad called down the stairs, walking as he talked, "Welcome!" he hugged her, then Parker, Ashley and finally Skye in greeting, "Paula is in the kitchen. Why don't you have a seat in the living room with Glen and Barbara? Park, the kids are in the spare bedroom."

Parker ran upstairs to what had once been Glen's bedroom to visit with his cousins. Glen and Barbara were sitting on the love seat drinking cocktails. They stood up as Spencer, Ashley and Skye entered.

"Hey guys. How are you?" Glen greeted.

"Alright," they all answered back at various speeds.

"Skye, its good to see you again," Barbara smiled.

"You too Barbara," Skye said as she sat down on the couch next to Ashley.

Clay came in soon after, greeting Skye into the family with open arms. He of all people knew what it was like to be an outsider. Finally, it was time for her to meet Paula, as she set out the hours d'ourves. At first, Paula didn't register Skye's presence. After a moment, Skye cleared her throat.

"Well hello!" Paula gushed, "You must be Skye," Paula scooped her in to a loving hug.

Overwhelmed, as still in the hug, Skye replied, "Hi. Yeah, I'm Skye. I guess that would make you my biological paternal grandmother."

Paula released Skye from the hug, but kept holding Skye's hands as she examined her, "That's me," she said charmingly, "Call me something shorter than that dear."

Skye laughed, semi-uncomfortably, "Alright."

Paula finally stopped holding Skye's hands, "Dinner will be ready in about twenty minutes," she told the group, but especially Skye, "Skye, welcome to our family. I'm glad to have you as an addition."

"Thank You."

"And soon this other addition," Paula rubbed Skye's stomach.

Skye blushed, "Yeah. You're gonna be a great-grandmother."

Paula blushed and laughed that notion off like it was impossible, "I've got to go back in and tend to the roast," she retreated to the kitchen.

Skye smiled at Ashley, then Spencer, telling them that it wasn't that bad.

Skye now had a strong family base, and a cute older boyfriend. That let her know that everything was going to be alright when it came to her future, and her baby.
