“Thanks for telling them Uncle Arthur.”  I said.  He smiled and engulfed me in a hug.  A small tear fell down my cheek and I saw Spencer watching us over his shoulder.  

“No problem Ashley.  Your like a daughter to me.”  He smiled.  I did to.  This was a very heart touching conversation and a beautiful start to this day.

“I still want to know about La, but I want you to tell me when you feel up to it alright.”  The man that was so much like a father said to me while rubbing my back.  I nodded, afraid that I’d start to cry.  I wasn’t going to admit this earlier but him not liking me really hurt.  Thats why my heart broke when I saw that photo in his office.  When did I turn so mushy.  

We hugged again then parted.  I was on my way to Spencer, who was leaning against the counter looking all dewey eyed.  

“Oh Ash one more thing.”  Arthur said calling me back there was amusement in his voice.  

“Huh?”  

“I don’t know about you guys, but we don’t keep banana’s in the freezer or dishwasher.”  He chuckled not sticking around for my reaction.  I was thankful, I flushed a bright red.

“Come on Ashy”  Spencer said once I was close enough.  She led me to were all the kids were in the living room and we all fell into light easy conversation.  

“Come on Ash tell Aiden that he did scream like a little girl last night.”  Kyla said laughing.  

“Hell no.  We should talk about how Glen acted.  ‘Oh no were going to die!  Oh wait but my dad is a cop and and-’” Glen cut off Aiden’s girly impression of him with a pillow to the head.  Somehow Aiden managed to catch the pillow in his mouth and we burst into laughter.  

“Oh please you guys were all wimps!”  I said sticking my tongue out.  Glen and Aiden copied my actions and soon me and Klutz were locked in one of famous competitions.  Aiden and the rest of them all laughed along with us.
