Later that day

Sasha was sitting on the couch watching Tv as Bayley and Charlotte came in a took a seat, "What are you watching Sash"

" I have no idea" She said and went to grab the remote but was stopped as Stephanie snatched the remote away and turned the TV of, "Hey!"

"No Tv, my father will be here any minute. Did you girls clean your rooms?"

"Yes"

"Did you vacuum and put away all of the laundry?"

The girl's all looked at each other as Hunter came into the living room and grabbed Stephanie's shoulders, "Babe calm down, the house is clean, the food is ready and everything is going to be fine..now relax"

"How can i relax... you know how my father is" Stephanie said as she nervously bit her lip and went to say more but was cut off by a hard knock on the door

"Charlotte please answer that, Stephanie go sit in the kitchen and calm down for a second" Hunter said as he led Stephanie away from the door while Charlotte got up and opened the door.

"Hey Uncle Shane!" She said with a small smile as she saw the tall man standing at the door with a bottle of wine in his hands

"Hey Charlotte" He said before entering the house, only to be attacked with hugs from Bayley and Sasha, "Hey kids! How are my favorite nieces?"

"We're your only nieces" Bayley said earning a laugh from the older man

"That is true but you all are still my favorites...now..i have gift for you all But you half to wait til after dinner"

"Aw come on uncle Shane" Sasha complained, she loved their uncle's gfts, the man was always traveling around the world and doing cool stuff which always leads to him getting the girls col gifts.

"Think of it as extra incentive to be on your best behavior tonight..." the girls rolled their eyes at this, "hey where's Becky..i could of swore there are supposed to be four of you"

"She's upstairs" Charlotte said causing Shane to frown

"I'll go get her" Bayley said before heading upstairs while Sasha and Charlotte led Shane into the kitchen where Stephanie was fighting a panic attack

"Hey Sis" he called as he entered causing Stephanie to smile slightly relieved as she stood and hugged her big brother, "Good to see you"

"I'm so glad you're here" She said causing him to laugh

"Don't worry, you won't have handle the storm alone" He said as they pulled away from their hug, obviously hinting at the possible drama that would surely come from their father before turning to Hunter, "It's see you too man"

'Yeah..it's been too long" Hunter smiled

"So what's for dinner?" Shane asked as he placed the bottle of wine down on the kitchen island

"Bake chicken with some vegetables" Hunter said as he went over to check on the food

"I hope you didn't cook it Hunt"" Shane said earning a laugh from the girls in the room while Hunter gave a sarcastic 'Ha. .', "Oh come on you know I'm just messing around..so when is father dearest supposed to be coming anyway?"

The doorbell rang before anyone could say anything, "Now"

Charlotte quickly said she would get it before heading to the front to open the door revealing Stephanie's father and mother, "Hello"

"Charlotte right?" Vince asked causing Charlotte to raise an eyebrow at him to which he laughed, "I'm just kidding..of course I know your name skipper...you're getting big, how old are you now...13?"
