"Rylyn. Please get on the chopper." My mom's expression turned grim. "No! Mom what's going on?!" I yelled because she was leaving me in the dark. "This is your son?" Ray looked shocked in confused. "Our son." She stood close to him and slapped him in the face. "I told you if you ever stepped foot in front of me and our child again I would raise my hand at you without hesitation. So I'm standing on business." She scowled at him.

"YOU'RE MY DAD?!" Nothing was making sense and it was all rushed. "YOU GUYS WERE KEEPING THIS FROM ME?! DO YOU NOT RESEARCH PRINCIPALS OF SCHOOLS BEFORE THROWING YOUR CHILD INTO A SCHOOL?! SINCE WE'RE GETTING EVERYTHING OFF OUR CHESTS I MIGHT AS WELL TELL YOU I WAS BANGING THIS GUY INSTEAD OF GOING TO CLASS!!" I huffed and yelled. "Actually I was doing the banging." Desmond 'coughed'.

"Rylyn." My mom looked at me in surprise. "Rylyn I wasn't aware that you were her child, I thought the name was a coincidence and overlooked it. Gina and I were together years ago and I left because Gina demanded more children but I told her I didn't agree with the idea. She told me to leave if I didn't want to have more kids so I did." Ray put his hand on my shoulder and kneeled to my level.

"So it's your fault?" I turned to my mom and looked at her teary-eyed. "N-No, it was just a silly argument." She tried to calm me down. "I've been getting beat and hit on inappropriately by your boyfriend EVERY SINGLE DAY WHEN I COULD'VE HAD A DAD THAT NEVER HIT ME OR HAD THINGS DONE TO ME,  ALL BECAUSE OF HOW MANY DAMN KIDS YOU WANTED?! YOU GUYS ARGUED OVER NOTHING BECAUSE I'M STILL AN ONLY CHILD!" I couldn't hold back the anger that's been building up over time.

"Gina...is this true?" Ray kept his hand on my shoulder. Desmond didn't say anything. Gina stuttered and she didn't know what to say. "I-I-I'm sorry." She covered her face and sobbed. "This is some bullshit." I held my face and let the overwhelming emotions form into tears. I was only crying because it was the only way I could get the rest of the anger out of my system. "I-I was only with John because I wanted some kind of happiness. I longed for you to come back so we could forgive each other and look back and laugh at that petty argument." My mom wiped her face with her handkerchief.

"It was wrong for me to leave, if only I agreed to have more kids we would still be together." Ray let go of my shoulder and approached my Mom slowly.  She faltered back slowly until she stopped and walked towards him too. He hugged her tightly and she hugged him back. "I'm so sorry Gina, please forgive my ignorance. It's been so long and I never stopped thinking about you. I never got with another woman-" My mom grabbed him by the collar of his suit and got on her tiptoes and kissed him.

"EWWW!" I gagged violently. "I'm ready to try again. I've been hooked on having more kids when I didn't even embrace and cherish the one I have now." She looked at me with a sad smile. "Can you dump John now Mom, please?" I sobbed like a child. "Of course, your Dad is here now." She sobbed with me. "Why are you crying?!" I hollered. "I'm crying because you're crying!" She sobbed and hugged me. Desmond looked away and cleared his throat. "Are you crying?" Ray asked Desmond. "N-No there's dirt in my eye, f-from the helicopter." He wiped his eyes and sniffed.

This all felt sudden and unexpected. "W-We should go." My mom cleaned herself up and made herself look presentable, fixing her long white dress and fixing her long ponytail, tying it at the very bottom. "So what now?" She asked Ray, or should I say, my Dad. "I would hope to stay in contact with you and possibly pick up where we left off." He brushed off his suit and started acting nervous. "After kissing like that it would be weird not to stay in touch, and DON'T just call her for booty calls, if it's past 11:30 we know it's for the dirty." I puffed my chest out at him. He snickered at me and ruffled my hair.

"Hey, Ray. Can I call you Dad?" I mumbled. My face turned red and I could feel their eyes on me. "Of course son." He sat his heavy hand on my shoulder. I hugged him tight and already felt like I had known him for so long. "Come with us!" I clenched his suit. "I can't, I'm in charge of the gas leak, I don't know how your mother would feel if I just barged into her home and acted as if we haven't been broken up for over 16 years. "How old was I when you had to leave?" I tried doing the math. "One or two, but I don't wish to speak of it right now." He patted my head and walked to my mom.

"Until next time?" He held his hand out and she gladly accepted it. He kissed her hand and caressed it. "I suppose." She twirled her hair and leaned in to kiss him on his cheek. "Barf." I rolled my eyes. My Mom and Dad traded contact info and socials then parted ways after they kissed each other again. They must've really missed each other. "Is this your boyfriend then?" My mom looked at us confused.

"N-" I started.

"Yes!" Desmond shouted over me.

"Wait up!" Miles hopped in along with Tati and Leon. They buckled up and put their bags on the floor. "Woah, Ry your mom is hot!" Miles looked at my mom up and down. She was caught by surprise and she didn't know how to react so she squeaked and covered her face with her hand fan. "Shut up! What are you guys doing here?!" I looked at them in confusion, then at my Mom to see if she was okay with this. Tati looked like a hooker with his fishnets and very short leather shorts and garter straps, and a tight crop top.

Miles looked grown and he looked like he was supposed to be in college, Leon looked the most ordinary, he looked better than he did before. "The more the merrier." My mom looked over her hand fan and smiled. They cheered and all said 'Thanks Mom' in sync. She didn't mind all of them piling up in the helicopter. "We can't have you guys hanging off the seats, you might have to lap up." The pilot yelled over the loud wind.

Des pulled me on his lap. Tati sat in Miles's lap and swatted his hands when he was trying to get touchy. "Hands off the merchandise." He crossed his legs and folded his arms sassily. Leon was happy with his spacious spot and buckled himself in. "Do they really have to come to our house with us?" I groaned.
