his way of promising that he will always be there.  When I woke up this morning, he had his head on my stomach, and he was whispering to the baby.  The man is already a total goner for our child, and he doesn't even fully realize it yet."
    I thought he had to have a pretty good idea that he was a "goner ," because right at that moment his arm was wrapped around Delilah and his hand was resting on her tummy.  Even as we were all gathered to discuss something so serious, his focus never truly left Delilah.  While it had always been clear that he worshipped her, now that he could let it out in front of all of us, it was deeper somehow.  My Delilah was such a happy person, always filled with love and light, but I could see a difference in her, too.  She radiated joy being able to be with Spencer, and it made me ecstatic to see her so content.
    Snapping out of my reverie, I listened as Aunt Sandra explained that she thought it would be best to wait until Friday.  "It's just a few days away, and there's a lot going on.  I wasn't finished sharing what I learned today."
    My stomach clenched at that, because I knew she was about to share what she'd learned about Dominique and Delilah's father and brother.  Letting these new people into our lives had the potential to hurt my girls, and it made me anxious.  What if they didn't want to meet my sisters?  Or worse, what if they agreed to meet them, but then turned out to be assholes?
    Spencer, Damien and I were all on high alert, and I knew we were all thinking along the same lines.  If the girls were hurt by this, none of us would react well.
    "I had my meeting today with Flynn's manager, John Benner, this morning.  He thought it would be best if I met with Todd directly and explained the situation to him.  After setting it all up, I followed John to Todd's house.  He was absolutely stunned, to say the very least, but…"
    Dominique interrupted her with a barrage of questions.  "What was he like?  Did he seem okay?  What was his house like? Did he seem like the kind of person that our parents were?"
    Shaking her head, Sandra smiled.  "No honey, he's nothing like what my sister or Mike.  His house was just like all of ours, really.  Comfortable, meant for family and friends.  There were pictures of them everywhere, and everyone looks totally normal.  He says that Flynn will be stunned but overjoyed to have siblings.  You've got grandparents living nearby.  He was actually… quite wonderful."
    "Wow," Delilah said, "I can't believe we h ave grandparents.  Tell us more!  Do you know why, or how, he wound up with our mother?"
    Nodding sadly, Sandra started to explain.  "Todd's wife passed away after a battle with leukemia.  He went a little off the rails in the months after she died, drinking and depression mostly.  Having watched my own mother die from cancer, I know how badly that messes with your mind, and I understand.  He met my sister at a party at the Cross' house.  She didn't tell him that she was married. They got together a few times over the next month, always at Spencer's parents house on the weekends.  He said that she was cold and unattached, but since he wasn't at all ready to let his wife go, that was just what he needed. A few weeks after it started his parents sat down with him and told him he needed to get his shit together and take care of his son or else.  He took their words to heart, and that night he went to Spencer's parents to break it off with her.  She didn't know she was coming, and what he found when he walked into that house ensured that he never spoke to or thought about her again. He said he knew she wasn't quite normal, but he'd had no idea she was so… well, we all know what she was. He has no qualms about meeting you both, but considering what he saw when he went to the Cross', along with the other ridiculous sexual relations my sister took part in, I've asked him to submit to a DNA test.  I need to know for sure that
