Amy Glenn's POV

"Hey, Ames, can I talk with you?" Raven asked, coming up the stairs of our tour bus. We had just stopped for the evening and everyone else other than Brielle had already fallen asleep.

"Go ahead, I was just heading to bed. Good night, sweetheart," she whispered, kissing my forehead. "Have a wonderful night, Raven." She walked back into her room and shut the door, giving us the privacy that the subject matter seemed to need. I turned to Raven.

"Alright, what's wrong? You've been acting strange for days," I pulled my knees to my chest and tugged a blanket over us, ready for a heart-to-heart. She was quiet for a moment, her dark brown eyes contemplating. "Raven?"

"I'm going back to Texas for a family reunion and I don't know if I should introduce Justin to the girls," she blurted out.

"You should," I said calmly, getting up to make some cocoa. We could be here for a while...

"What?" She asked, almost shocked that I told her what to do. I think she had been expecting advice rather than directions. Turning around while the water heated up, I spoke my piece.

"You have told me time and time again that you are still in love with him," I pointed out. "And from what I have heard from your band members, he is completely stuck on you. You are going to end up back together, regardless of those two little angels that you have. But they are going to need a father figure at some point, and he really does deserve to know that he has two beautiful baby girls. Adele's birth father knows about her and he was the one to make the decision to stay out of her life and Meth stepped in seamlessly. She knew him as Daddy from the beginning, but your girls are going to want him, even the idea of him, and very soon."

She still looked torn. There was very little that I could do for her, but that would not stop me from trying. We each took a sip of our cocoa in silence, allowing her a moment to think.

"Raven," I began. She met my eyes almost sadly. "You are aware that all of your bandmates are either dating or engaged to his brothers, right? He is practically already ingrained into your life. There is no possible way to avoid him, so you might as well face this head on and be an example for your daughters."

I think those were the right words, because when it was time for her family party, she took both twins with her.
