As they pulled up to the house scarlet wanted to run turn around and forget this ever happened, but she keeped her calm for her son sake and got out of the car and got her bags plus Andrews.

Scarlet walked up to the door with Emily and josh right in front of her and Andrew next to her. Emily pulled out her house keys and walked in letting everyone walk in in front of her making Emily the last one inside. josh took the bags from scarlet and sat them in the Grant entry way, the last time scarlet was here was eight years ago the day she walked out on everything she had never been so scary in her life until now she had to face her family, friends and Parker that's what scary her the most. she just wanted to run walk out and not come back for the second time but instead she took and deep deep breath and walked in to the living room.

everyone was there scarlet's older sister Madison and her husband,Matt and their son peter who was still a toddler last time she seen him, her older brother,Kyle, her best friend Ashley and some other kids scarlet wasn't sure who they were yet and her parents of course they all looked up from what they were doing when scarlet entire the room Andrew followed in behind her and stood in-front of his mother looking at the room of people.ashley was the frist one to get out of her sit; ashley and scarlet had been insepreble seen they were four years old ash was more like a part of the family then a friend, she walked over to scarlet and gave her the biggest hug ever mainly because she was wanted to make sure she wasn't dreaming she had had that dream many times over the years.

ashley pulls away and says "i can't believe it's really you" "we kinda have a lot of question" she adds. Madison walks up and gets a good look at her and pulls her in for a hug, kyle is right behind her, scarlet's father come's up and hugs his daughter her mother just stayed sitted on the arm chair looking at andrew she wanted answers. "kids" april scarlets mother finally spoke up "why don't you go outside and play" they all did as she asked "mommy can i go too?" andrew asked his mother "of course baby" she replied and followed the other kids to the backyard. scarlet took a sit along with everyone else she had a nott in the pit of her stomach she knew it was time to answer their questions.they stay quiet for several minutes before scarlet spoke.

"okay i know you all have a thousand question" "but i have my own and mine won't take as long okay?" she continued they nodded she took a breath and spoke again "who are the twins kids?" ashley and kyle put there hands up as if they had done something wrong. scarlet was shocked and happy at the same time for her brother and best friend "how old are they?" scarlet asked "four" kyle answered "how long have you been together?" scarlet asked "six years married for five of them" ashley replied "wow so much has change everyone is so grow up-'' scarlet started but was cut off by april "well alot happens in eight years now it's time you answer some of our questions'' she said in a tone that scarlet use to get all the time growing up she was always the the 'disappointing' child. "shoot" scarlet said

"Where have you been all this time?" Kyle asked before anyone else could it had hurt him the so much not knowing what had happened to his little sister and knowing that he could protect her "we've been in hobart Tasmanian for the last seven and haft years" scarlet repiled she was ready to answer their questions "how old is the boy?" april asked referring to andrew "eight in three months" scarlet replied with a proud smile. it had clicked with all of them that the child was the reason she had left "what is his name?" ben, scarlet's father asked "Andrew David summers" scarlet told them "how are you supporting him?" scarlet's sister maddison asked

"i'm a teacher at our local high school have been for the last three years" scarlet replied "how far along where you when you left?" april asked "am sorry, what?" scarlet said not knowing what her mother was talking about "how many weeks were you pregnant when you left?" she asked again demanding an answer "three weeks"scarlet said quietly "who's the son of a bitch who got you pregnant?" kyle asked standing up with angry in his eyes he had always been over protective big brother  "does he even know?" he added. scarlet took a moment to think what to she didn't even know if parker was still living here and she knew she couldn't tell her brother she had slept with his best friend so she lied

"yes" "he does and he told me he didn't want anything to do with the baby and i knew mum just wuoldn't stand for it so i left" scarlet added. scarlet knew she shouldn't be lying to her family but she just couldn't risk it at the moment "that jackass who is he i'll kill him" kyle said with more angry then "it was a go thing you left" april finally spoke up "and now you know equally why" scarlet said standing out and walking outside to where the kids were playing "andrew come on where leaving" scarlet managed to say frighting back the tears "but mum-" he plied "no buts come on"  andrew could see that his mother was holing back tears so he nodded and walked inside with her saying goodbye to the other kids. Scarlet picked up their things and headed for the door. she had to left, she couldn't handle this right now.

they made their way down the street with kyle running out of the house to catch his sister she looked back to see him ruining as she did she ran into someone she felt panic rise in her. suddenly kyle was next to her "oh scarlet you remember Parker right?"
