Quick update because I love this story- and I can't stop writing it!

"Mom, Paul is a retard" Sawyer said as he walked in one hour after the time I set "Uncle Paul- sorry but he took my to a comic reading of cat woman! CAT WOMAN!" I couldn't stay mad at him, he had suffered enough tonight. "So is Alek and ex boyfriend or something?"

"He's your dad" I looked up at him, wanting him to understand. It looked like he had understood "I was going to tell him when I reconnected with everyone but that's why I didn't" Referring to his girlfriend "He had moved on and I was so in love with you already"

"It's alright mom, we don't need him" Sawyer said "We've made it this far by ourselves we don't need that guy to come in now" He was right, that's what I loved about him. He was one of those people that realized what he had and didn't need a whole family because he had a lot of people that loved him.

"You're right, we don't" I ended that conversation with "Now go to bed, we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow"

"Yes Mam" He said and walked off to his room, I was sitting on the couch looking at the made up room. My style of course, I had planned this trip in a week and paid enough that I got what I wanted. Thinking about Sawyer and how he smiled at the little things, made Paul happy even though he wasn't so happy about Paul and how Amy used to love the pictures we sent her.

I heard a knock on the door, getting up I peeked into the hole. Jasmine was there, I opened the door. Jasmine hadn't changed that much, even though she had her mom's waves in her hair now. She looked a lot like her mom now, "Hey" She laughed at my PJ's "I thought you would wear something momish not silky"

"I'm still Chloe King, not mommy all the time. Style is a must"

"Yeah, so how are you?" She had something on her mind, something I couldn't really read.

"I am good despite the fact Paul needs to learn how to read a clock."

"How are you getting upset with Sawyer being past curfew? Hello Miss Midnight training" She said smiling at me.

"Not my fault" I rolled my eyes "You and Alek kept me up all night!"

"Mom! WHERE IS MY SHAMPOO AND WHAT IS THIS UGLY SMELLY FLOWERY SHIT?" My eyes widened at what he was saying.

"SAWYER PAUL!" I yelled back "Your shampoo is in the bag still and we have guest"

"Sorry" He mumbled standing in the hallway with a towel around his waist "Hey Aunt Jasmine"

"Sawyer..Go..Get..Dressed and then off to bed" He went to his room, I looked at Jasmine smiling about my son. Always has to cause a show.

"You've seemed to be doing a good job raising him" Jasmine commented "Half of teenage boys would be out tonight and arguing with you"

"I try my best" I admitted "He's a good kid..."

"I can tell" I offered her coffee or tea, she gladly accepted coffee."How long are you staying?"

"The summer, maybe longer depends"

"On?"

"If I start to miss my house, and if this place isn't right for Sawyer"

"Why wouldn't this place be right for Sawyer?" She asked "We grew up here, you grew up here. I mean Alek's going to protect you two again. We've already talked about it"

"I don't need Alek to protect me" It came out harsher than I wanted it to but I really didn't want him around Sawyer, and I really didn't want that slut around Sawyer either.

"That's what I thought, so Chloe why don't you tell me why not"

"He's a bad influence on Sawyer, or will be. And then that Slut of a girl- It's not happening and-"

"Why because he's Sawyer's dad?" She almost yelled over what I was saying, I stopped talking and just looked at her "That's what I thought, everyone else might be too dumb to know the math but you were pregnant with Sawyer when you got moved and Alek was the only one you were with at that time"

"He knows?" I asked fear in my voice.

"No" She said "But I do, I just wanted you to know that I knew."

"Sawyer does too" I sighed "He knew something was up so I told him"

"Does he want a relationship with him?" Hope was in her voice.

"He hasn't said he does" I paused "but that doesn't mean you can't have a relationship with him. You're his Aunt in my opinion"

"Thank you" We talked about other things, about the wedding that was about to happen. I was a little excited for it, then she said something "Alek's engaged" I didn't say anything "I thought you should know, I saw the way you were looking at him and I don't want you to fall"

"I've gotten past men, and that stuff. I only need Sawyer" I felt like I was lying, I wasn't lying exactly... I didn't need to fall in love with Alek while I was here.

"I don't believe you"

A heavy knock on the door woke me from a dreamless sleep, I opened the door to find Alek and a few other guys. My new family "Oh my gosh!" I said pushing past Alek and hugging them "You didn't have to come here"

"Yeah we did" A guy that had become a brother to me said "We love you Chlo and we protect you from everything"

"I know" I laughed "Sawyer will be so happy to see you!" Despite the fact it's been less than twenty four hours already. "Let me get him up, come in" That didn't exactly apply to Alek but he came in any way. I walked into Sawyer's room. "Get up" I sung. He groaned in response "SAWYER. Get up"

"Suck my-" I hit him with a pillow, I heard Alek chuckle behind me.

"Mother hood hard, King?" He asked grabbing Sawyer by his feet and throwing him off the bed.

"What the fuck?" He looked a lot like Alek when he said that "Dude"

"Should have gotten up when your mother told you to" I tried not to think of Alek in that being Sawyer's dad way but I couldn't help it. The way he said that...

"Maybe you should call her Chloe instead of King bastard"

"Sawyer" I put my arm on his shoulder as he stood up to get in Alek's face, he wasn't as tall his him yet but he was getting there. "Don't, get dressed and meet me in the living room" Alek and I walked out and I looked at him, we needed to be friends. Sawyer could not be seeing me fight with Alek or just ignore him. "It's nice to see you"

"I like your pajamas" He smiled at me, "The silk" I pushed him away a little and laughed. Then went to my room, getting dressed in my "Professional" clothes as Sawyer called them. Black skirt above the knees a little, deep V-neck white ruffled shirt and a black jacket that went to the elbows. I left my hair down and walked out "Maybe I like that outfit better"

"Aren't you engaged? Don't want your skank- I mean Fiance to see this"

"I heard enough about you last night, you were giving me the look and because she's insecure she thinks I'm going to leave her" Complaining much?

"So, what are you doing later today?" I was second guessing telling him about Sawyer being his son. "Maybe we can do something" I almost said as a family... Get it together Chloe. He smirked, that stupid smirk that his son had when he flirted with the cashiers and cheerleaders.

"Yeah that would be nice" He smiled "Seeing as you've caught up with everyone else" I wondered how Sawyer would react to that.

Speaking of the Devil, he walked out and smiled at his family. Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Joe. They said they had a room at a hotel down the street and they were really tired. I let them go and then told Sawyer the news "We're going out with Alek today" He groaned aloud

"Do we have to hang out with him? I'd rather hang out with Uncle Paul"

"Don't worry he gets on my nerves too" Alek said not making things better.

"I don't want to be like you" Sawyer hissed and we all went out of the door.

"He hates me, no one hates me" Alek seemed shocked, and the same old Alek. British accent in tack but deeper with age, same looks, same abs same tight shirts that went out of style...

"He'll warm up to you" No promises we went to the coffee shop attached to my old job "I missed this place"

"One of your hang outs?" Sawyer laughed "Where Uncle Paul schemed the take over of the world"

"No, no" I laughed "Alek would be the one taking over the world"

"I used to protect your mom" Alek said and Sawyer rolled his eyes.

"I heard you slept with my mom" I blushed and widened my eyes, he did not just say that.

"True..." Alek brushed it off and looked at me "Warming up to me right?"
