American Honey
"Alexis, my love. It does my heart good to see you." Mac said while he flashed a scared smile and crawled out from under the table.
"I think he has been reading your romance novels again." Maxie mumbled as she leaned near Molly.
"Cut the crap. Did you really think I wouldn't find out where you where? How long have we been married?" Alexis questioned as she glared at her husband, "Girls." Alexis greeted with a warm smile as she glanced around the table.
"See my own mother even forgets about me." Nikolas muttered as Emily patted his back.
"I was talking to the three children of mine, who fled the state."
"Mom, I can explain." Robin started as she scrambled to come up with an answer.
Alexis waved her hand in a dismissive motion before she grabbed an empty seat at the table, "You were just curious, as am I." Alexis smiled as she watched Mac out of the corner of her eye, "You on the other hand are sleeping on the couch for the unforeseeable future." Alexis snapped as she glared at her husband.
"Molly made me do it"
"Nice try. Molly is the one who told me everything. You are an adult Mac, you need to grow a backbone and stick up to our children."
"They are your spawn, they are scheming little monsters and I am pretty sure Maxie or Kristina are trying to kill me."
"Love how they are talking about us like we are not even here." Robin observed as she finished off her pie.
"It's not us that you need to worry about Dad, at the rate you are going Mom or Grandmother are going to take care of you."
"It's getting late and I am sure a good night sleep with put us in a better mood." Nik tried to be the voice of reason.
"Suck up."
Kiss ass." Maxie and Patrick coughed at the same time.
"I agree with Nik, I think we should go to bed and deal with this in the morning with a clear head." Sam agreed as and Jason stood.
"Alexis, my parents would love to met you if you are up to it." Jason spoke up as he looked towards the older woman.
"I couldn't think of a better idea." Maxie agreed with a huge grin, "I told you that this was going to be worth it." The blonde mumbled towards her boyfriends who was stood behind her.
"That would be lovely." Alexis replied as she kept her eyes locked with her husband.
"We will sent the car to pick you up in the morning." Nik called as he and Emily stood.
Slowly each of the members of the table slowly got up, not wanting Alexis's anger to be directed at them. One by one they quickly made their way to the elevator till all but Mac was left, alone with the check, "This is why most animals eat their young." Mac muttered as he downed his glass before taking out his wallet.

Jason groaned as he felt something brush his hand, he flicked his hand before he went to pull Sam closer only to realize that her side of the bed was cold. He sleepily opened one eye and widened it in surprise as he locked eyes with a darker pair of blue ones.
"Morning." Maxie smiled before she jumped off the bed, out of the room and down the hall. Confused Jason looked around the room and came to a stop when he saw Johnny, Patrick, Emily and Sam standing in the corner.
"Do you think he can see us?" Patrick asked in a loud whisper as he and the girls stood in there not making a move.
"Well, he can defiantly hear us." Sam mumbled as she kept her hand behind her back.
"Don't move or make a sound. He can't see us if you don't move." Johnny ordered.
"Really? How does that make any sense." Emily muttered, but still not moving.
"It's like in Jurassic Park, if you don't move he can not see you." Patrick explained as if what he was saying was common knowledge.
"Does he look like a T-Rex?" Sam hissed.
"This is all a dream." Emily tried as she moved towards the bed and waved her hands.
"Okay, so this is plan we are going with now?"
"What am I five?" Jason asked as he sat up in the bed, "Why are you all in my room?"
"I thought you enjoyed having me here." Sam spoke up.
"Not you, I know why you are in here. Though I rather you be in my bed right now." Jason smirked as he patted her empty side, "I want to know why you three are here." Jason said as he looked at the two.
"This is all a dream." Emily repeated.
"Your room, oh I could have sworn this was my room." Patrick tried lamely.
"I am sticking with the you can't see me unless I move thing."
"Hey, what is taking you so long? Mom sent me up here to get everyone." Robin called as she stood in the open doorway.
"When did all you get here?" Jason asked, wondering why everyone was here this early.
"Thirty minutes ago, our parents and yours are getting to know each other." Robin explained as she leaned in the door frame, "I sent you up here, twenty minutes ago to get everyone." Robin ordered as she glared at her boyfriend.
"I am starved." Sam exclaimed as she shoved something into Patrick's hand, before she jumped on the bed and hopped over to the door, Emily waited a second before she followed Sam out the door.
"You might want to wait ten to fifteen minutes before you move around." Patrick smirked before he hurried out of the room.
"Since, you where so interested in my nails the other night, I thought I would return the favor." Johnny offered as he threw the little bottle on the ground before he dashed for the door and just dodged the pillow Jason had tossed at him, once he had looked at his nails.

"How old are you five?" Robin asked as the group made their way into the dinning room, where Alan, Monica, Edward, Alexis, Molly, Maxie and Mac had already started to eat.
"You are just angry that we didn't include you." Patrick countered as he pulled out a seat for Sam and then Robin.
"I know you all are on your best behavior and not causing any trouble." Mac lectured as he took a sip of coffee and ignored the look on Alexis's face.
"Yeah, right. It's like he doesn't even know his own children." Patrick muttered to Johnny only to be kicked under the table by Maxie.
"Sam, Maxie and the boys have been a pleasure to have." Monica spoke up, "It is so nice to get to meet their whole family."
"I wanted to apologize for all of us just dropping in on you like this. I must admit that it is nice to meet Emily and Jason's family."
"It is nice to have so many people in the house, I just hope it's not too much longer before we hear little footsteps running around." Monica grinned.
"I don't know how you put up with five daughters, I had my hands full with one." Alan wondered as he looked at the other man.
"It's my own personal hell." Mac groaned, "I mean it is such a blessing." He covered after a second.
"You have really past the line this time." A voice called from the hallway, "I don't know which one of you did this but you are all going to pay." Nikolas screeched as he ran into the room in only his boxers.
"And here is my only son wearing bright blue nail polish and blush." Mac groaned.
"I think you could use a day at the Country Club." Alan offered with a small smile as he stood, "My oldest used to run around in a pink tutu." Alan laughed as he and Mac headed out towards the living room.
"I am going to go burn all your designer clothes." Nik threatened as he walked back towards the hall where he grabbed a pile of Maxie's clothes and headed towards the front door, "Or better yet, I am going to throw them into the lake."
"Aren't you going to-do something?" Maxie screeched as she shot out of her seat.
"They are not my clothes, why should I care?" John huffed.
"This is all a dream." Emily tried as Sam busted out in to a fit of giggles.

"If you step foot out that door I am going to make your life hell Nikolas Scorpio, Payback is like my super power and our sisters will be on my side." Maxie screamed as she jumped on to her brother's back, which caused him to fall at the unexpected weight.
"This is making a very bad impression." Alexis chided as she, Molly and Monica stood watching the whole ordeal.
"If you ever touch my things again, I will tell Emily all about how you used to let Robin and Sam dress you up and call you Nicole."
"Oh, I am so going to want to hear this." Emily laughed as she and Sam came to join the others.
Nikolas was unable to respond, thanks to Maxie holding his face down in her pile of clothes. "Maxie, get off your brother this instant." Alexis ordered. Seeing as the blonde was not going to move Johnny made his way over and lifted the smaller woman off of the older man.
Sam watched on with interest just as she felt someone come up behind her, "Painting my nails? Really?" A husky voice asked as strong arms went around her waist, "I understand the others, but you?"
"It seemed like a good idea at the time." Sam offered weakly.
"Oh a good idea at the time." Jason smirked before he lifted Sam over his shoulder and headed towards the door, "A swim in the late sounds like a great idea right now." Jason offered just as he came to the door.
"Don't look at me." Patrick and Johnny said at the same time.
"Yeah, we like to be on the winning team and right now that it Jason's team." Patrick added as Johnny went over to the door to open it for Jason, only to be shocked at who he saw standing there.
"Hello, I thought I would drop in to say hello, since you all fled the state without so much as a goodbye." The woman smiled, "I brought some cookies." Helena offered as she held out the plate.
