"So here's the thing." "We wanted to..." Johnny and Carmen said simultaneously.
"You go." Johnny suggested that Carmen go first.
"No, you." Carmen insisted.
"Someone should go." Miguel said. He, Katie, and Julia were eager to hear the news.
"So Miguel, your mom and I are hooking up. Not just hooking up. Uh, you see, when two people... When two people are... attracted to each other..." Johnny said.
"I get it, you guys are dating." Miguel knew what was going on.
"Yeah, we're dating." Johnny admitted.
"We didn't mean for you to find out like this." Carmen sighed.
"No. We were waiting for the right time and place. We wanted to take you to a nice restaurant, break the news somewhere nice. A Chili's or a Marie Callender's. A Red Lobster." Johnny explained.
"Miggy, Katie, Julia, are you okay?" Carmen asked the kids.
"Yeah, We're fine. Uh, we think. Surprised. But also not super surprised. I would have chosen someone with, uh, better food in their refrigerator. But other than that, Sensei's a good guy. As long as you're happy, I'm happy." Miguel, Julia, and Katie we're OK with it.
"We are. We're very happy." Johnny confirmed.
"Cool. Uh, can I get my water bottle now?" Miguel asked.
"Yes." Carmen answered. "OK." Miguel said.
"Piece of cake. Told you he'd be cool." Johnny assured Carmen, who asked, "Oh, did you?"
"Yeah." Johnny answered, and he and Carmen kissed each other.
"Oh, I just hope it sticks." Carmen said.
"What does that mean?" Johnny asked, and Carmen sighed.
"It might take some time for Miguel and your daughters to get used to the situation. Let's just make sure we give him the room they need to adjust." Carmen explained.
"Yeah." Johnny agreed.
