*RAE'S POV*

It's the next day and I'm on my way to the Gallagher house to see if they want a ride to school. I was ready to walk into a kitchen drowning with the sounds of Bob's booming voice and Monica's panic. But to my surprise neither of them were there. Apparently they left a couple nights ago without Liam. I'm so out of the loop.
"Hey sweetheart!" Fiona says patting me on the head as she rushes past.
"Lips upstairs!" She continues, as she rushes past me again in the opposite direction.
"I'm actually looking for Ian!"
"UPSTAIRS!" I don't even know where she is but I hear her voice.

I head up the stairs to go talk to Ian. I just want to make sure he's okay, considering Lip is making him go see his potential fathers...what a weird thing to say...
I reach the boys door before I can knock it comes flying open and Lip is pulling me inside. It's like our fight never happened.

"Where's Ian?"
"He's in the shower!"
"Oh."
"So, you coming with us to meet our uncle/ Ian's possible dad?"
"You want me to come?"
"Yeah!"
"You're not mad anymore?"
"No, uh, sorry about that, It's just been a little stressful lately."
"Right on. I get it."
Ian walks in a towel and embarrassment immediately washes over his face when he realizes I'm there.
"Oh my god hi!" He's trying to hide his body by turning around but honestly I've seen almost all the Gallaghers naked. This is nothing new for me.
"I'll let you get dressed."

*IAN'S POV*

Lip, Rae and myself are on our way to go meet one of Frank's other brothers, also my possible father. I don't want to be here but it's important to Lip. Why? I don't know.

"Almost there Ian! You excited?!" Rae's so cute. I can tell she's really excited. I think more to just be out with us than anything.
"Oh yeah!"

I say trying my hardest to sound convincing. She smiles at me with a look in her eyes that says she's sorry. She can tell I don't want to do this.
This won't prove anything. Other than Monica is CLEARLY a great role model.
We walk up to a brown stone house. Nice, unlike ours. Lip is already knocking on the door before I can even think twice about doing this. I hear the door open and I take in a LARGE breathe.
Here we go.
