AJ pulled into Kevin's driveway. He and Howie saw that both Nick and Brian's cars were there. He turned off the car and took a deep breath. Howie grabbed his hand and said "Don't worry everything is going to be okay." And Howie gave him a reasuring smile, which helped AJ. Howie wasn't so sure himself but he knew that one of them had to be strong. AJ open the car door and walked over to meet Howie and Alexanderia on the other side. He took one hand and Howie took the other. Walking slowly to the front door.

AJ rang the doorbell and Kristin answered it. "Howie, AJ how are you guys?" Before they could answer she said bending down "And who is this pretty little girl?" "Um, we kind of want to tell everyone together," said AJ. "Cool, well everyone is out back. Why don't we go join them." Kristin led the way. Howie gave a reassuring smile again. "Hey guys guess who finally decided to show up?" Everyone looked up to see Howie and AJ. They were all wondering who the little girl with them was.

"Hey guys what took ya so long? Usually we know the reason but today I think that isn't the reason." said Brian. "Yeah well, anyway guys I would like you to meet my... our daughter Alexanderia" said AJ. Everyone stopped what they would doing and had their mouths open. No one said a word for a couple of minutes when Kevin broke the silence "Did we hear you right, this is your daughter?" Howie and AJ nodded their head yes. "Wait, when did you two decide to adopt?" asked Leighanne. "We didn't adopt." said Howie. "If you didn't adopt how did you get a kid. I know I haven't seen Howie showing any signs of being pregnant," said Nick. Howie just shot Nick a glare. "Alexanderia is my daughter."

"Why in the hell didn't you tell us?" asked Kevin. "Well let me think Kev, because I found out early this morning. Do I have to tell you everything that goes on in my life?" "When it affects the group, yes." Howie didn't like where this was going, it's not going how he thought it would. "Kevin, who the hell do you think you are? Telling me..." AJ never got to finish because Howie cut him off. "I think that we are getting away from the issue here." "And what is the issue?" asked Nick. "The issue is that we have a daughter now and there is no turning away form that." said Howie. "The issue is that AJ is being AJ always surprising us with stuff like this. Are you sure you didn't wait this long to tell us on purpose." suggested Brian. "Brian, that was so unfair!" said Nick. At this time everyone started yelling.

Kristin always tried and keeps out of their arguments. But this time she had to step in because they all forgot that there was a little girl still in the room. "Hey guys" no one heard her "HEY GUYS!" They stop yelling at each other and looked at her. "Thank you, AJ and Howie, I was wondering would it be okay if I take Alexanderia inside for some ice cream?" Howie and AJ were glad that someone was thinking of Alexanderia because they all forgot about her while they were arguing. "Yeah sure" said Howie. Kristin bent down "Come on honey we'll leave the men to talk and we'll go inside and have some ice cream." Kristin held out her hand. Alexanderia didn't take it she move closer to Howie. Howie bent down too "Its okay honey, this is Aunt Kristin and she is a nice lady. We'll be in to see how you're doing in a couple of minutes, okay?" Alexanderia nodded her head and went with Kristin; Leighanne followed.

As soon as they were gone they went back to taking this time they all seem to be a bit calmer. "I'm sorry for what I said earlier AJ it wasn't right for me to say that. I know you wouldn't do anything like this on purpose." said Brian. "I'm sorry too AJ, I was just shock and I turned it into anger and focus it on you. I shouldn't have." said Kevin. "Okay I forgive you guys this time but you do know next time I won't be so nice." said AJ. They all gave a little laugh. "Okay Bone, do you mind telling us how you know that she is your daughter?" asked Kevin. AJ began telling them what happen when him and Howie got home and what happen at the hospital. "So you don't know who this woman is?" asked Brian. "Not even a clue but I really don't care. I think that any mother who could leave a child like that doesn't desire to be in the child's life," said AJ. "Still I think that you should hire a private investigator to find out. Just in case she gets sick, you need a lot of information and documents that she hasn't given you," said Kevin. "Yeah I agree," said Howie.

"What are we going to tell management and the fans?" asked Brian. "The truth, I mean our fans how been through so much as it is. I don't think that this would hurt any," said AJ. "Maybe we should wait a while before telling the fans," said Howie. AJ looked shock when Howie said those words. "I mean we should wait until Alexanderia is more comfortable with us before we tell." Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. "Okay I do think that is a good idea." "So what are you guys going to do with her while we go on tour?" asked Nick. Howie and AJ looked at each other and said at the same time "Take her with us." "Do you guess really think it is a good idea to take a little girl on tour with us?" asked Brian. "There is no other solution we leave to go on tour in two weeks. She's barley comfortable with us let alone someone else. Besides we already talked it over and we think that she should come with us. We can hire someone to look after her when we can't" said AJ. "I see that you guys gave great deal of thought. Just one thing what is she going to call you guys?" asked Kevin.

Inside Leighanne and Kristin were at the kitchen sink with Alexanderia sitting at the kitchen table eating her ice cream Kristin and Leighanne were talking about the bombshell that AJ and Howie dropped. "Can you believe it? Howie and AJ parents" said Kristin. "Yeah I know, but do you want to know the sad part. They have a kid before me." Alexanderia was eating her ice cream when Quincy came under the table and his tail brush her leg. She looked under the table and saw Quincy. Quincy started back at her and showed her his teeth, which cause her to get scared. She jumped down from the chair and rain to find Howie and AJ. "We decided that she will call me Daddy and Howie Papa." "Hey I want a special name too." said Nick. "Nick, your Uncle Nick, just like Kevin will be Uncle Kevin and Brian will be Uncle Brian. Cool I teach her how to play pranks, play video games..." Nick was interrupted when Alexanderia came running in and grabbing Howie. Picking up Alexanderia and putting her on his lap. Howie saw her tears, he wiped them away "What's the matter?" Alexanderia pointed to Quincy who followed her. "You don't have to worry about him that's just Quincy. Uncle Kevin's cat." Alexanderia gave a funny look when he said Uncle Kevin. "Oh yeah, you don't know who Uncle Kevin is." Howie introduce everyone to her. Uncle Kevin is Aunt Kristin husband and Aunt Leighanne is Uncle Brian's wife."

Kristin and Leighanne came running out the house. "Oh my God, there she is. We were worried we turned around for a second and she was gone," said Kristin. "It's okay, she just got scared of Quincy" said AJ. "Okay I don't know about you guys but I'm getting hungry. Kev, why don't you start up the barbecue" said Nick.

Kristin and Leighanne went back to the kitchen to finish the food up in there while Kevin started the barbecue. Howie, AJ, Nick and Brian played a game with Alexanderia."
