AN: Takes place Thursday August 8th, 2010
It had been 20 hours since they'd all been in the same room together. Lisa of course was watching the kids again. Chase and Foreman had gone home as soon as it hit five o'clock. Greg was also in the room this time. Kevin had told Sam that they'd talked and things were better. They weren't great but they were better. Greg couldn't really give a shit about how Kevin found out about his child. He just wanted to find out if he too had fainted. But if anyone asked him he'd tell them that Ally dragged him there.
"So are you two related?" Danny asked pointing between Kevin and Ally.
Her mother didn't really talk about her aunts and uncles much because most didn't want anything to do with them.
"Yes we're half siblings," Kevin said.
"What?" Greg asked not knowing this.
"You didn't know?" Sam asked.
"No," Greg said.
"Sorry I didn't tell you because most of my siblings I never see," Ally said.
Instead of replying Greg just gave her a look that said they'd talk later.
"Well come to find out my father and my mother were dating when they were in high school. My father…" Ally said before getting interrupted by Kevin.
"Just call him a sperm donor because that's all he was," Kevin said.
"No to me. He left to head off to military school and was gone for the next two years. When he got back my mother had moved on with my step father. He helped her through the pregnancy and became the father my mother didn't think that Jeff would become," Ally said.
"Wait I thought you two were the same age," Sam said.
"We are. Her mother had her brother," Kevin said.
"Ok so how many siblings do you have Kevin?" Sam asked.
"Including step and half roughly around 10-15 all together. Sarah and I are the only two children that our mother had with our father. My father is the father of Keith, Allison, David, Trevor, and Wendy. My mother had Sarah, me and then our little brother Seth who's Danny's age. Her husband had three children with his wife who passed away a year before my mother and he got together," Kevin said.
"Wait that's only 10, 11 with you," Sam said.
"Ok here's everyone in order of age: Joe, Zack, Penny, Keith, me, Ally, Kevin, David, Trevor, Wendy, and then Seth," Sam said.
"So there's eleven not 15," Sam said.
"Sorry it's kind of hard to keep track of all of them," Kevin said.
"So who belongs to whom?" James asked.
"Jeff(dad) and Sue (step mom)had Trevor and Wendy. David is her son from her ex boyfriend. Kevin and I of course from our mother. Mom and Fred have just Seth then Joe, Zack Penny and Keith are his from his wife," Sarah said.
"Wait what about Maggie and Tom?" Sam asked.
"Sorry forgot to include them. Don't see them very often. They're of course adopted but they're still our siblings," Sarah said.
"Ok that makes sense now," Sam said.
"Then there's also my little brother Troy," Ally said.
"I thought that he was your step father's and mother's," Kevin said.
"By blood he is but our dad took him under his wing all the same," Ally said.
"Good old dad," Kevin said with disgust in his voice.
"What's wrong with that?" Danny asked.
"Your grandfather has done some stuff in the past that I'm not happy with being called his son," Kevin said.
"Like what?" Danny asked.
"Well like cheating on your grandmother, my mother," Kevin said.
"KEVIN!" Sarah said through clinched teeth.
"What? It's true," Kevin said.
"He cheated?" Danny asked.
"Yes when your mother was four your grandfather met Lilly, Allison's mother again at a bar one night. They got back together for the one night. Your grandmother sensing that she was going to loose him went after him. I'm just the child that he got trapped with," Kevin said.
"Kevin!" Sarah and Ally said at the same time.
"What? It's true," Kevin said.
"No it's not and you know that," Ally said.
"Yes it is," Kevin said.
"Let's move on," James said knowing this was testy waters for Kevin still.
"Yes let's," Sarah said.
"I still want to know about the night you found out you were pregnant," Danny said.
"You're not upset about Grandpa?" James asked.
"Dad I've known since I was a baby," Danny said.
"Hey I didn't tell her," Kevin said throwing up his hands when all eyes went to him.
"I overheard Keith talking one day," Danny said.
"Why doesn't that surprise me?" Sarah asked.
"I don't know why doesn't it?" Kevin asked.
"Ok smartass just tell your story," Sarah said.
"Ok," Sam said before a fight could break out.
"Well I found out on a Friday and I called Kevin to see if I could talk to him. I thought it only fair that I tell him first before anyone else," Sam said.
"Yes I remember that. I tried calling you like five times but you didn't answer. I even ran over by your house to see if you were home. I figured you'd probably just fallen asleep since I knew you hadn't been feeling good," Kevin said.
"Yeah sorry about that," Sam said.
"It happens," Kevin said.
"Anyhow I had to work that Saturday. I asked him if I could talk to him after I was done working," Sam said.
Flashback
"Sam go home," Kevin said seeing that it was 6:30 and they were dead as a doornail.
"Ok," Sam said clocking off.
As Sam was getting her stuff she heard Kevin tell Andy that he was going to go out and smoke so he was in charge while he was outside.
Really Kevin could tell that Sam wanted to talk to him and he wanted to know what'd happened last night. She looked better then what she had been but she still looked like shit.
"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Kevin asked once they were outside.
"Umm…actually can we talk later tonight? Like after closing or something like that?" Sam asked.
"Sam just tell me now," Kevin said getting a little worried.
"I'd rather not," Sam said.
"What is it?" Kevin asked now freaked out.
"Ok so I'll see you tomorrow," Sam said leaving behind a very confused Kevin.
That was until he saw Seth poking his head out of the door. There was a call for Kevin so he went and got it. He decided that if Sam didn't answer her phone tonight he was going to go over to her house and find out what was going on.
Later that night
After Kevin had sent the closing driver home he called Sam to see what was going on. Luckily for him anyways she was still up this time. What Kevin didn't know was Sam had gone to bed around 8:30 and slept until ten. She wanted to make sure she was up when he called. Her mother would have found it very strange for her to be going to bed so early if she'd been home. Her parents were up at the casino again. It was their monthly entertainment.
All day Sam had been coming up with comebacks should Kevin start getting rude to her. She was expecting him to say something along the lines of "So what? It's not my kid."
Work
"Sam what's wrong," Kevin asked.
"We need to talk about that night," Sam said.
"What about it?" Kevin asked.
"You may want to sit down," Sam said.
"So what is it?" Kevin asked after they'd each taken a seat.
"You're going to hate me for this," Sam said.
"Sam nothing you say about that night will make me hate you," Kevin said.
"Oh yes you will," Sam said.
"Sam just spit it out," Kevin said going over to the pop machine and getting more pop.
"I'm pregnant," Sam said.
"What?" Kevin asked turning around.
"I said I'm pregnant and it's yours," Sam said.
What came next she wasn't expecting. The next thing Sam knew Kevin was flat on his face in a dead faint.
"Ok not quite what I was expecting," Sam said getting a cup of water to splash onto Kevin's face.
After he came to they talked it over. He wasn't mad like Sam had thought he'd be. In fact he was excited about the baby. They decided that they'd tell her parents and his family both tomorrow.

"See Greg you're not the only one," Ally said.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Greg said.
"You know perfectly well what I'm talking about," Ally said.
"What happened?" Sam asked.
"When I told him I was pregnant he fainted too," Ally said.
"Did not," Greg said.
"Did too," Ally said.
"No I didn't," Greg said.
"Yes you did Greg," James said.
"So wait a minute here I thought you told them the week after you told her family," James said.
"No same day. That was fun," Kevin said.
"We told his father the week after we told our families. And at least my mom didn't give you the evil glare," Sam said.
"Either did ours," Sarah said.
"She's talking about the other mother," Kevin said.
"Hmm yeah that doesn't surprise me," Sarah said.
"But your father and brother in-law both threatened to how was that? Oh yeah murder me and bury me where no one would find my body if I hurt you," Kevin said.
"They did not," Sam said.
"Yes they did," Kevin said.
"I don't believe you," Sam said.
"Believe what you want," Kevin said.
"Oh Danny let's leave them along now," Sarah said sensing a fight was about to start.
"I wanted to know about when they told Grandpa," Danny said.
"Kevin?" Sarah asked.
"Sure if she wants to know," Kevin said.
"No cursing," Sarah said.
"Yes mother," Kevin said.
"You'll think yes mother on the way home," Sarah said leaving with the rest of the group.
"It's pretty simple really. We told him and he of course disproved. End of story," Kevin said.
"KEVIN!" Sam exclaimed.
"What?" Kevin asked.
"You can't just tell a story like that," Sam said.
"Fine," Kevin said.
Flashback
Kevin hadn't wanted to tell his father about their child because he knew he'd just disapprove of it. Sam on the other hand felt that his father should know about the baby because it was going to be his grandchild after all. He'd finally decided they'd go that weekend. He'd gotten Les to cover for him. Les did know about the baby. Kevin couldn't very well ask the guy to cover for him without telling him the story. Of course Les thought it a bullshit story which was fine by Kevin.
Dad's house
They'd just told his father and step mother about the baby. Currently his father and he were out on the porch talking while Sam was stuck inside with her. She kept shooting glares over at Sam.
"So I suppose you think that his dad and I are going to support the little brat hmm?" Sue asked.
"No why would we?" Sam asked.
"I don't know but you're the ones that came here," Sue said like the bitch she is.
"We thought you had a right to know," Sam said wishing they hadn't ever come.
"We don't want anything to do with the little bastard," Sue said.
Sam was relieved to have Kevin come back into the house. She felt like crying right then. Sam didn't know what his father had said but when he came back in she could tell he was pissed off. After that they left without another word.
The ride home was very quiet. Both lost in their thoughts.
"Stupid bastard!" Kevin said.
"What?" Sam asked trying to hide the tears that had sprung to her eyes.
"Fucking bastard!" Kevin said.
Instead of saying anything Sam just started crying.
"Oh Sam I'm sorry," Kevin said pulling off to the side of the road.
He wasn't calling her those names. They were the names his father had called him. After he got out of the car he went around and pulled Sam out and just held her and talked to her.
End flashback
"So yeah it wasn't at all fun time over there. This is why Lisa has never met her grandfather and never will. He doesn't deserve to know her," Kevin said.
"What about her uncles?" Danny asked.
"They know her and see her when they can. They said that your grandfather I guess threatened to disobey them if they saw her. But I guess they don't care anyhow. Not like there's anything they'll be missing out on," Kevin said.
"Oh," Danny said.
"I still feel sorry for you Kevin," Sam said.
"Why?" Danny asked.
"Because I was an emotional wreck most of the pregnancy," Sam said.
"Trust me you weren't nothing compared to Sarah when she was pregnant with Danny," Kevin said.
"Speaking of mom I better get going before she comes looking for me," Danny said.
"Yeah I'll see you around kid," Kevin said.
"Cute nickname," Sam said having to smile.
"So when do I get out of here?" Kevin asked.
"I was thinking either today or tomorrow," Sam said.
"Today," Kevin said.
"Ok I'll go get the paperwork ready," Sam said.
"Sam?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah?" Sam asked.
"Thanks," Kevin said.
"Welcome," Sam said knowing what he was talking about.
Later that night
Sam decided that she didn't want to be apart from her family anymore. She'd told Cuddy she was quitting. She of course didn't try to get her to stay because she understood. Kevin on the other hand hadn't been pleased but knew once Sam made up her mind there was no changing it. Greg…well he didn't know yet because knew he'd blame Kevin for her quitting.
The plan was Sam would have her stuff shipped over to Kevin's place on Monday. Sarah and Danny were leaving tomorrow to go back home. Kevin, Lisa and Sam would leave on Monday though.
