Luke looks at Clementine as she tells Lauren all these different kind of things. It's weird, because Luke hasn't seen Lauren in five years. So Harry's now seventeen, Lauren's nineteen now and well Mama Irwin doesn't look a day over thirty.

Anne-Marie and Liz are talking about Luke's tour and Harry is texting his girlfriend. Everyone still thinks it's weird for Ashton to just have died like that. He was doing just fine according to Luke before he left the room and Anne-Marie gets the feeling that Ashton isn't dead, but it's different for everyone.

Lauren frowns, looking at Clementine as she talks about how she had this dream about Elsa. "Clay what happened to your cheek- face in general?" Lauren asks. Lauren thought it was weird to call Clementine Clemmy, cause that just sounds weird and disgusting, so Lauren calls her Clay and well everyone's got use to that.

"Oh my face? Daddy's ex? Daddy punched him really heard that there was red stuff on his teeth. Daddy cried and started pulling on his hair. I told him to stop because I didn't want him to go bald like Uncle Mikey," Clementine says, thinking over of what she just said. Lauren looks over at Luke, who's rubbing his eyes.

"Did he break up with Fletcher?" Lauren asks Clementine.

She nods her head, fixing her beanie. "Daddy said yelled at him and told him to never come back again. He got really sad and said how sorry he was. Saw Fletcher hitting daddy this morning," she frowns, picking a chip and dipping it in ketchup. "But it's okay because daddy doesn't have to see Fletcher anymore. I didn't like him cause he's just super creepy."

Lauren laughs and Clementine takes a sip of her juice. "Aunt Loren can you tell me about dad," she asks, looking at Lauren.

"What is there to know Clay? Your dad is right there," she says pointing to Luke. Clementine shakes her head.

"No silly. Not daddy, dad. The one with these," she points to her dimples. Lauren realizes that she's talking about Ashton.

Lauren sighs, but nods her head as she looks at Clementine. "Well your dad... he was a nice person and something had happened to him when your daddy was dating him and he kind of... just lost his memory. Um... some parts came back and then your dad was dating another man when he was with your father Clay," she says trying to explain this to a five year old. Clementine nods her head. "Um.. you dad got pregnant with you and Luke left to sing for many people like he does today.. um.. I guess he never told your father that he was going to have you and it... it was heartbreaking knowing that none of us knew you were born until a few years ago when you and your father came back. But Ashton was a good person and I'm sure he would have loved you and spoiled you."

Clementine nods her head, ripping apart her chicken nugget. "I'm glad dad is alright," Lauren slowly nods. Did they not tell her Ashton died? Calum mentioned it. "When Clarissa takes me out. I'll see dad sometimes you know."

Lauren frowns. Is she like seeing things. "Clay sweetie, dad, Ashton, is dead. He's not alive," she tells him.

Clementine giggles, shaking her head. "No he's not silly. I see him everyday when Clarissa and I go to get hot choke-late at that one place," she tells Lauren, dipping her nugget in ketchup. "He's always with this man. I didn't know what was dad until I saw that picture of him."

Lauren takes out her phone and scrolls all the way up on her camera roll. She clicks a picture of her and Ashton five- almost six years ago and shows Clementine. "Is the man you see everyday with Clarissa?"

Clementine squeals. "Dad! That's dad!" The family looks over Clementine and she snatches the phone away from Lauren, going over to Luke, Calum, Michael, and Harry along with the grandmothers.

"Daddy look! It's dad!" Luke nods his head, smiling. "I see him everyday when Clarissa and I go to that one place to get hot choke-late."

Everyone stares at Clementine and she smiles, looking at the picture again. "Clay sweetie... Dad is dead?"

Clementine frowns, shaking his head. "No he's not. I see him everyday, wearing a fancy clothes and he's always kissing this man- daddy does dad not love you anymore?" Her eyes grow big as she looks up at them.

The family is starting to think if Clementine is imagining things, but how can she if she's never seen a picture of Ashton until today. Does she have schizophrenia? If so why at such a young age. "Clementine sweetie dad is dead," Luke says.

"No he's not," Clementine yells, stomping her foot.

"Ashton is fucking dead Clementine!" Luke yells. Clementine gets mad and Luke's face softens. "Clay I didn't mean to-"

"Why don't you believe me!" Clementine yells, throwing Lauren's phone at Luke. Clementine runs away and Luke's chair scraps against the floor as well as other chairs.

"Clay don't run away!" Luke yells as everyone begins to chase her. She weaves through the crowd, not caring if she hits people with her small body. Her hair kind of flies back a bit as she runs. She somehow made her way towards the entrance of the mall and she runs out. They were near the city and there's many parking spaces.

Clementine decides to keep running, wanting to get away from everyone.

Meanwhile somehow they had lost where Clementine had gone and Luke rubbed his face, groaning. "Hey we'll find her okay," Lauren says.

Luke sighs. "I just... I didn't mean to yell at her. Ashton's dead he can't be alive,"

Lauren sadly smiles. "I know Luke, maybe she's imaging things or has schizophrenia? I don't know. I don't even think she can develop that at such a young age, but she's saying she's seen Ashton before and I just... If and I'm saying if Ashton is alive then why would he do something so fucked up like that?" Lauren says, trying to figure out why Ashton would do that.

Luke shrugs his shoulders not understanding. Did he not want to see Clementine grow up? Was he ashamed of something? Because Luke is still a bit skeptical on the whole thing. He was fine and yeah maybe something can go wrong, but it's just not right. "I don't... I don't even know Lauren like... minutes before Clementine was born, Ashton kept saying that he couldn't do this and I had told him that he was going to be a great father along with Nathan because I knew that Nathan would have treated Clementine better- I mean I let... I let him hit her Lauren that's not right."

"Hey it's okay. It's over now,"

Luke sniffles. "I just... I don't know... I just don't want to keep saying he's dead when I have this gut feeling that he's not,"

Lauren rubs his head. "We'll figure this out okay. In the meantime we need to fine Clay," Luke nods his head, wiping his tears away.
