Wade crouched in front of Zoe, taking her hands in his, making Zoe look at him. "What's going on?" He asked calmly. Zoe shook her head not saying anything. "Zo, you need to calm down. Take a deep breath," he told her. She did as told taking many deep breaths as she could until she was relaxed and focused on Wade. "Now please tell me what's going on," he said rubbing his thumbs over her knuckles.

"They want Ariel," she told him, making no sense to him whatsoever. "They blame me for not letting her be apart of their lives and Justin's for that matter," she spit out. "They thought the world revolved around him, they never saw his flaws. It was them that never wanted anything to do with her and now…they're just a bunch of hypocrites," she seethed out. Wade moved to sit next to his wife on the bed, a soothing hand tracing patterns on her back. He had wondered about them, it was something that she had brought up once and it was the one thing that he never thought to mention after that, they were out of the picture just like Justin had been; he hadn't seen the point in bringing them up again. Now he was wishing he would have asked her more questions about them sooner so that way they could have avoided this whole thing.

"They can't take her," Wade told her. Zoe dryly laughed shaking her head.

"I know that, but they have rights to ya know?" She questioned. "And they want them and they are putting all this blame on me," she sighed, letting her head fall to his shoulder. "It's not fair."

"You can't let this stress you out. I can deal with them Zo," he told her, placing a lingering kiss to her temple. "Let me handle them, she's my daughter and I want to keep as much stress away from you as possible, okay?" He asked with a little beg to his voice to let him do this. He didn't want anything happening to her or their son. She nodded her head, letting her eyes close shut.

Wade moved them so they were lying on the bed, his arm wrapped around her, caressing the soft skin of her arm. His eyes were trained on the ceiling wondering how anybody especially grandparents could turn out to be so damn selfish when it came to what they thought their grandkids needed. He had lost track of time being so lost in his own thoughts that he jumped hearing his mom's voice. He checked to see if Zoe's was sleeping or if she was still awake. He let a breath of air out seeing that she was still out cold.

"It's just a bunch of bull," he sighed answering his mom questions on if things were okay, shutting the bedroom door behind him. "Apparently Ariel's other grandparents want back into her life after they had up and just left her putting all the blame on Zoe for everything," he further explained, feeling himself growing angrier.

"I am by no means picking sides here but they did lose their son and they want to be able to remember him and they want to know their granddaughter knowing they were the ones to mess up. They deserve this chance Wade, people change and they had a pretty massive wake up call. The best thing to do is for you and Zoe to sit down and hatch things out. This is about Ariel here and what they made Zoe feel or their actions towards Ariel is in the past. Do you understand?" She asked her son.

"Yeah," he sighed running a hand over his face. He understood it but he didn't like it, he didn't want them to come back into her life just to walk out when they felt like it. He didn't want anyone to cause Ariel more pain than she has already been through. She deserved a break from all the pain that's been caused in her life as of late.

"Talk it through with Zoe once she has rested but in the mean time maybe you should talk to Ariel and see where she stands on this whole thing because it does concern her." Wade nodded, leaning against the wall. "We'll leave you be," Jackie replied giving her youngest son a hug.

Harley agreed with Jackie that it was time to go. The only one to protest was Jesse and it only took a single look from his mom to get him to shut up and walk out the door. With Ariel up in her room Wade headed up stairs to talk to her about everything. With the all clear Braxton walked into his parent's bedroom. He sat on the bed remaining quiet not wanting to wake Zoe up.

"I never thought I would be lucky to have another Mom," he said under his breath unaware that Zoe was now awake and in the quietness of the room she could hear him. "Don't think that I don't love you because I have yet to call you Mom. I've done a lot of thinking and I'm okay with it because not everyone gets to have a second Mom after they lose the first one. You're a great Mom and I'm ready to call you Mom, it that's okay with you," he finished his voice barely growing louder.

"I'm more than okay with that Braxton," she replied making the boy jump. She giggled lightly sitting up. "I didn't mean to scare ya," she told him.

"You didn't scare me," he bluffed, hugging her. She smiled hugging him back.

Upstairs Wade was sitting on the floor of Ariel's room as she hung upside down off her bed. "You doing okay over there ya monkey?" Wade asked looking at her with amusement in his voice.

"Uh huh" she replied, nodding her head. "I really don't know what you want me to say. I've only met them a few times that I can remember. I barely even talked to them that day…" she trailed off. Wade didn't need to hear more, he got that she was referring to her father's funeral.

"Ariel, would you be okay if they did happen to come around wanting to be in your life again?" Wade asked her.

"I feel like Mom should be here for this talk," Ariel said, putting her hands on the floor and tumbling off her bed. "Think I could take gymnastics?" She asked, moving to sit next to him.

"I think that's another talk to have with your Mom," Wade told her, bumping her shoulder.

"Talk about what?" Zoe asked entering the room, sitting on the bed.

"Gymnastics," Ariel grinned, "can I?" she asked, sticking her bottom lip out.

"I don't see why not," Zoe smiled at her. "What's this other thing?" She asked moving her attention to her husband.

"I talked to my Mom and she made an excellent point and I was running it past Ariel," he told her evading the topic at hand. She raised an eyebrow waiting for him to elaborate more on it all. "Fine," he sighed. "The point she made is that basically we should hear them out and let them back into Ariel's life because it's the right thing to do. They lost a son, Zo and they want to hold on to him and for them to do that they need their granddaughter in their life. As much as I hate it, they need it and Ariel needs it as well."

"I hate that you're right about that. They've been a thorn for so long but I can't do that to them because I'm not that kind of person," Zoe sighed. "But we talk to them first before anything else. Is this something you want, sweetie?" Zoe asked. Ariel shrugged.

"I guess so," she replied. "I'd be okay with it."
