Lydia and Alec walked back in the living room, Alec noticed a young boy placing his books on the table so he turned to Martha.

She smiled to him nodding, Alec walked to the boy then leaned down to talk to him.

"Hey buddy," Alec said.

The boy took a step backwards and smiled . "I'm A-," Alec paused. "I'm Dylan," He corrected himself.

"I'm Joseph," The boy introduced himself, giggling. " Can I show you my swimming pet giraffe?"

"Well," Alec said, smiling widely,
"Sure! I mean the last time I checked giraffes walk but you do you buddy."

Alec said as he watched Joseph disappear in the hallway.

Lydia was sitting on the couch and Alec walked around the room and sat next to her, "We should tell your mother about the DNA test," She said.

"Huh ?" Alec asked, he wasn't concentrating.

"The DNA test," She repeated. "So you'll have actual proof to face your father remember ?"

"Oh yeah, of course." He agreed.

Lydia looked at Martha, "Mrs Williams, can we talk for a second?"

"Please just call me Martha." She said, "And is there anything wrong?"

"No no absolutely not," Alec said. "We just wanted to tell you that we need to do a DNA test," He informed her.

"DNA test ?" Martha asked confused. "Why ? I'm sure you're my son and so are you. Am I right ?" She looked disappointed.

"I am," He assured her. "I just need a proper proof to face my dad," He explained.

"Oh, I understand."

"Okay then," Lydia said. "Um we're not staying for too long here in Florida, so we can head right now to the hospital and do the test. It will be ready by tomorrow I guess."

"You're leaving ?" Martha frowned.

"Yeah, Lydia has to go back to work and so do I. I have abandoned the company entirely." Alec said.

"But you're staying for the night, right ?" Martha asked.

"Yeah we'll stay in a hotel," Alec answered.

"Hotel ? No way ! Both of you are sleeping over tonight." She said.

"No we really don't-" Alec tried to convince her.

"No excuses," Martha interrupted him.

"Lydia, can you take care of the kids while Dylan and I do the test ?" Martha said. Her, Alec, Lydia and the kids were all in the hospital now, they had to bring the twins with them because they knew it was a bad idea to leave them home alone. "Is that okay with you?" Martha asked.

"Yeah yeah of course no problem !" Lydia accepted, "I'll just stay here and we'll have fun the three of us !"

"And while you're here would you mind filling up these papers?" Alec said, "Of course you don't mind here you go," He added as he handed her a big pile of papers.

"What are these for ?" Lydia asked confused.

"I don't know a nurse gave me it so you take care of it. I'm not about that life." Alec replied then he and Martha were both lead to a room, leaving Lydia with Joseph and Lily.

"Okay kids !" She said, her tone filled with excitement, "So what do you guys wanna do ?"

"I'm hungry," Joseph said.
