This takes place as you'll quickly find out, right after Confronting Thy Father.

The kid was pacing currently.

They had spent the morning; in the hotel lobby, waiting for his mom; getting to know him. Asking him everything from what his favourite colour was, to where he went to school, which grade he was in, which classes he liked most, what he wanted to do when he grew up, and if he had a girlfriend. Just anything they could think of, to get to know him better.

He asked them just as many questions, though about half of his were about racing, after he had blushed and admitted he wanted to be a race car driver. He had told them about how he had always been fascinated by racing and had watched a lot of old races of both his and Strip's.

They hadn't made mention to him that while he was waiting for his mom, they were waiting for his half sister Lynda.

"Why don't you come sit down again kiddo?"

"She's late, she said she'd be here by one, it's already 1:30."

"She probably got caught up in some traffic. Come, sit here beside me." Emily patted the chair beside her.

She had taken him right under her wing already and was constantly playing with his hair or giving his hand a bit of a squeeze and a hug or two already. Trying to make up for all the time she could have been being an aunt to him.

They had both decided that when Lyn got there, he would talk to her first about what they had learned.

Lightning only sat for a moment before getting up and pacing again.

"Mom, dad!" Lyn called out, Emily just waved from where she was, getting the kid to sit for a moment again, while he got up to greet her.

"Hi Lyn," he said giving her a hug before guiding her away from Emily for a moment.

"Who's that with mom? You look tired, what's wrong?" She asked, crossing her arms.

"That, is something we have to talk about, and I've been voted the one to do so. We had an eventful day yesterday, and learned some interesting things. We learned just what that little slip of your father's was all about in the eighties."

"Oh, no." Her arms fell to her sides, a frown forming.

"We stumbled across your father accusing that kid, of trying to break into his room. He wasn't trying to break into the room, he just wanted to talk with your father. All he wanted to know was, if Alex was his father."

"Oh, that poor kid. Is he my half brother then?" She looked towards the kid before looking back at him.

"Mmhhmm, we're waiting for his mom, who's coming up after that revelation. She hadn't told him anything about his father other than he walked out on his mom when she told him."

"What's his name?" She said looking over at him again.

"Aaron McQueen, but he likes to go by Lightning."

"Lightning? Really?" She smiled, amused at the nickname.

"He got it from doing track apparently and it stuck. It suits him surprisingly well though. He's a pretty sharp kid."

"Well, there was a time there for a bit that I had wanted a little sibling. How old is he?"

"Turning 17 in a couple of weeks he said. This was supposed to be a birthday trip with a friend and his parents, so they could watch that last race."

"Some trip this has turned out to be for him then."

"Ready to go over and meet him?" She shrugged at him.

"Well, I don't know of any way of preparing to meet a half brother, for the first time, who's under half your age, but yeah." She went straight over to Emily first. He went and sat down beside Emily, the kid had remained sitting this time.

"Hi, mom." Giving her a hug.

"Hi, Lyn sweetie."

"You look as tired as dad."

"He was up stressing half the night, and when one of us doesn't sleep neither does the other. Maybe introducing yourself to Lightning will take his mind off how late his mom is."

"Okay." She nodded at her aunt before going and sitting on the other side of her new found half brother. "Hi there, Lightning? I'm Lynda."

"You're Lynda Weathers!" The kid perked right up from where he was slouching.

"I am, I don't know who else I'd be. Dad was tell me a little bit about you." She could see the confusion bloom his face at her saying dad.

"I mean Uncle Jesse, not our father there is a difference, which I'm sure you learned about a little yesterday it sounds like."

"Yeah, you could call it that." He started to sulk again.

"While you might not have gained a father yesterday, you did gain a sister and two older brothers that you'll have to meet. Now that we know about you, we're not going to let you disappear on us." She looked over to their aunt and uncle conspicuously, before speaking again in a lowered voice.

"Plus, Uncle Jesse and Aunt Emily are amazing suricate parents when they need to be, just between you and me."

"Really?" She just nodded in return.

"And two older brothers?" He sounded skeptical at that.

"Yes, Stephen and Bernard. Stephen is married and has kids while Bernard doesn't, then of course there's my own husband. Which means you're a brother-in-law to Strip Weathers."

Doc could tell Lyn must have brought up Strip because the kid's face lit up in excitement.

A woman hurried into the lobby shortly after, frantically looking around.

"Lightning! Lightning!" She called, so that was the kid's mother, she couldn't have been much older than Stephen.

Lightning perked right up at her calling his name.

"Mom!" He practically ran over to her, they hugged, she petted his hair. He wouldn't be surprised if there were tears on either of their behalf's.

"Oh my baby, I'm so sorry how late I am. I got stopped by a train and then I was caught in traffic due to an accident. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you who he was before. I was trying to avoid something like that happening. I thought if you knew you'd try to seek him out. You're too curious for your own good sometimes."

"I know you've told me that before, but I had to know. I'm glad you're here though."

"Me too, Lightning. Now why don't you introduce me to everyone you were sitting with." He led her back to where they were sitting.

"Alright. Mom, this is Aunt Emily, Uncle Jesse, and Lynda; this is my mom Elizabeth."
