Vanessa and Veronica drive back to their house, anxious to see what their mother has to say.

The boys small talk in the backseat, worried about meeting the parents.

They all pull up in the driveway. "Woah!" Ethan exclaims, looking st Grayson open mouthed.

The girls laugh and park the car.

The four exit the car, walking Grayson and Vanessa in hand, and Ethan and Veronica in hand.

Vanessa opens the door and walks inside, Grayson next to her. "Mom?" Vanessa calls through the house, her voice echoing off the walls.

Quirkie struts up to the four people, and Ethan picks him up and strokes him. "Cute cat, what's his name?" Ethan asks.

"Quirkie." Veronica replies with a smile. "Heya quirks, I'm quirky too ya know?" Ethan asks the cat.

Quirkie gives Ethan a side glance and hisses, jumping out of his arms. Ethan stand there shocked, while everyone else bursts out laughing.

"Vanessa? Veronica? Is that you?" Their mother calls from the kitchen. The girls walk into the kitchen, followed by Ethan and Grayson.

The four turn the corner to see an unexpected face.

"Daddy?" Veronica asks, running up and hugging him.

"Veronica why did you leave?" Paul asks worried, cupping his daughters face with his hands.

"I..I don't know." Veronica a looks away ashamed, as tiger bounces up from behind. "Tiger!" Veronica smiles, picking him up.

"I couldn't just leave him." Paul laughs.

"Vanessa!" Paul cries out, walking towards his other daughter. "D..dad?" Vanessa smiles, a tear in her eye.

The two hug for the first time, tears overwhelming them. Vanessa whiles her eyes and goes to stand with Veronica, petting tiger.

This movement leaves Ethan and Grayson exposed. The two parents turn to look at them.

The two boys wave, Grayson scratching the back of his neck, Ethan looking longingly at Veronica.

"Who are these two?" Wendy asks, crossing her arms.

Veronica drops tiger on the floor and goes to stand by Ethan. Vanessa follows and stands by Grayson.

"This is my boyfriend Ethan, him and Grayson were on the bus with me." Veronica smiles. "You took the bus all the way here?" Paul asks in disbelief. Veronica nods.

"This is my boyfriend Grayson. Ethan's brother." Vanessa grins, holding Grayson's hand.

"Mom you can't move Roni back to California! She has a life here now, with me and Ethan and Grayson! I'm not splitting up with her no matter what!" Vanessa exclaims.

"Roni?" Paul asks. "Yes, it's a kind of nickname." Vanessa adds. "That's not the point! She can't go back to California!" Vanessa cries.

"Actually, we live in California.." Grayson whispers to Vanessa. "Not helping!" Vanessa hisses, turning back to her parents.

"Please." Veronica begs.

"Um..boys, would you mind heading out now? As much as I like that you bring my girls happiness, we need a family meeting." Wendy asks politely.

The boys nod and hug the girls. Ethan waves as they walk out the door.

"Right. Everyone to the living room. We have some major discussing to do."
