Outside of the courtroom, Cate, Baze, and Lux are standing there staring at eachother. They couldn't really process the fact that the Judge actually granted Cate and Baze temporary custody. Lux still couldn't believe she was face to face with her biological parents. She just wanted to be emancipated and move on, but that wasn't going to happen now.

"So, what are we doing?" Lux says breaking the silence.

Cate and Baze look at eachother not having a clue where to start.

"Uh, well, you can stay with me. I promise we'll fix something up for you that's better than the couch." Cate tells her. Lux couldn't help but smirk at her. Baze pulls Cate by her arm away from Lux. Cate pulls her arm back. "Um, ow! Excuse me!"

"Um, no, excuse me! Why do you get her?" He was clearly angry that Cate just up and decided this without discussing it with him first.

"Because I don't think she should be living above a bar! You don't even have room for her." Cate explains.

"Are you going to let me see her? Or are you going to decide that, too?" Baze says sarcastically.

Cate rolls her eyes at Baze, then walks back over to Lux, who had been watching them the whole time. "Okay. You'll stay with me, but we'll figure out some sort of schedule so that you can spend time with Baze."

Lux sighs. She knew they were just trying to be nice, but they didn't have to. "Look I haven't been on a schedule for sixteen years. I'm fully capable of taking care of myself. You guys don't have to do this. You have your own lives." Lux tells them as she begins to turn away and leave. Cate and Baze hurry and stop her.

"No, we want to do this." Baze says.

"You're our life now, Lux. We are going to take care of you. You don't need to do things on your own anymore." Cate tells her, but her phone interrupts them. She takes it out her purse and looks at the caller id. "It's Lauren." She says looking up at Baze. Baze sighs and rubs his forehead. Lux could tell something was going on. For the short time she knew her parents she could already tell when they were frustrated.

"Who's Lauren?" Lux says deciding to be nosey.

"She's your sister." Cate tells her.

Lux's eyes open as wide as a human being could possibly open their eyes. "She had a sister?" she thought. Why didn't they tell her that before? Lux was just as confused as ever. "A sister?"

Cate and Baze nod their heads slowly waiting for some kinda reaction from Lux. "Lux.."

"Is she Ryan's daughter?" Lux asks Cate.

Cate grins not really knowing how to explain it. "No. She's mine and Baze's."

"How old is she?"

"She's twelve." Cate tells her.

Baze chuckes. "More like 35. At least she acts like it." Cate smacks him on his chest.

"Does she know about me?" Lux was becoming very curious about this little sister she never knew she had. She wasn't a half-sister or a stepsister..she's her biological sister.

Cate shakes her head sadly. "No. We weren't sure how to mention it her. Well, I wasn't sure."

"And considering I didn't know you existed, I couldn't tell her, but if I did know I so would have told her." Baze says defending himself.

Cate gives him one of her looks. "Seriously?"

"What? It's true!"

"So, wait, I'm confused. You guys stayed together, or got back together after you gave me up? Or what?" Lux asks them.

"No!" Cate and Baze both say at the same time.

"I went to his bar one night, and he recognized me and I rocognized him, even though I didn't want to. Well, we started drinking and it went on from there." Cate explains.

Baze could tell Lux was so confused. He looked around and figured now was the best time they should leave. They could explain more when they got to Cate's and they were going to have to figure out some kind of way to break it to Lauren. He knew that wasn't going to be fun. "Look how about we talk about this more on the way to Cate's. I'm sure you want to meet Lauren and she'll definitely be interested in hearing about you." Baze suggests.

"Look you guys I can take care of myself. I swear. You already have a kid so I rather not ruin her life, too." Lux says walking away.

"Lux, wait!" Cate yells.

Lux turns around but she is still walking. "Don't worry about me, okay? I'll be fine." Lux walks away as fast as she could away from her parents. It was all too much for her right now and Cate and Baze weren't sure what to do..if they should stop her or not, so they let her go.

At Cate's house Cate and Baze walk in fussing as usual. Ryan walks out of the kitchen towards Cate. He kisses her on her cheek and looks weirdly at Baze.

"Hey, where is she?" Ryan asks her.

"Um, she didn't want to come. Where's Lauren?" Cate asks him.

"She's not home. What do you mean she didn't want to come? The judge gave you guys custody of her."

"Temporary." Baze points out. "We can't force her to stay with us."

"What? Man, you guys are her parents. Of course you can make her stay. She needs a home and a family. She needs parents!" Ryan yells at them.

"Who needs parents?" They all look over and see Lauren standing near the entry way staring at them.

Lauren is short like her mom. She actually looks a lot like Cate, but she has Baze's smile. Lauren has long brown hair, with bright green eyes. She's smart just like her mom, but sometimes she just doesn't care enough, just like her dad.

Lux walks into her foster parent's house. Before she could reach the stairs she sees her stuff all packed near the stairs. She didn't have no where to go now. The judge refused to give her emancipation and her parents needed parents. They wouldn't be able to take care of another teenager. Lux grabs her bags and walks out of the house. Where she was going to go, she wasn't sure.

Back at Cate's, Lauren is still staring at her parents wondering what conversation she just walked into.

"Hey, sweetie. How was your weekend at Sam's?" Cate asks her hoping the subject would be changed.

"What were you guys talking about?" But she was her daughter afterall.

"Um, Lauren. Come over here. We need to talk to you." Baze says patting the empty spot next to him on the couch.

"You guys are scaring me." Lauren says walking over and sitting next to her dad.

"It's nothing scary." Cate says taking Lauren's hands into her's. "We need to tell you something that is really important and I want you to tell me whatever you are thinking. Okay?"

Lauren squints her eyes nervously at Cate. "Oookay."

"Sixteen years ago your dad and I were in high school and it was Winter Formal. Well, we went with different people but ended up outside together, somehow, in his van."

Lauren stops her. "Is this about to get gross because I really would love not to hear it."

"No, it's not going to get gross." Cate tells her. "Okay, well, things led to another and I got pregnant."

Lauren starts laughing. "What? Good joke, you guys."

"No, Lauren. This isn't a joke. Look I was quarterback of the football team and I was a really big jerk. Your mom came and told me and I just told her to take care of it. I didn't want to be responsible for it."

"SO, I decided to put her up for adoption." Cate finishes.

"Hold up. Am I adopted?" Lauren asks them but then thinks about it. "Wait. No, I'm not sixteen."

"You have a sister." Ryan blurts out. Baze and Cate give him a look.

"What?" Lauren says in disbelief.

"Lauren, I was sixteen and I was in no shape or form to take care of a baby. I wasn't ready and I just couldn't do it alone!" Cate explains quickly. She knew Lauren was bound to blow up soon.

"Am I just something to clear your concious? Is that why you guys kept me? I mean I know you guys didn't mean to have me either, so why keep me?" Lauren asks them.

"Baby, I was four years older when I had you. I had a good job and felt like I was stable and responsible enough to take care of you." Cate explains.

"And I was old enough to take responsibilty for my actions. We never thought twice about giving you up." Baze assures her.

"Yeah, right. I was a mistake, too." Lauren says rolling her eyes. "Why are you guys telling me this anyway?"

"We found your sister. Well more like she found us." Baze says.

"Are you serious?"

"She is in our temporary custody. She wanted to be emancipated, but the judge granted us custody." Cate tells her.

Lauren looks around the room. "Then where is she?"

"She ran away from us.." Baze says quietly.

Lauren starts to laugh. "Seriousy? Wow. You guys are awesome parents." Lauren says walking away.

"Lauren, wait!" Cate says grabbing Lauren's arm and turning her back around.

Lauren pulls back away from Cate. "No! I could have had a sister. I still could have a sister, but you screwed up. Sounds like something you guys like to do a lot." Lauren says bitterly and walks away to her room.

"She did not just say that." Cate says more to herself but Baze and Ryan hear her.

"We have to find Lux." Baze says grabbing his jacket and heading towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going find my daughter. You coming?" Baze says opening the door.

Cate looks at Ryan sadly. "Go find her. I'll stay with Lauren." Ryan tells her.

Cate gives him a smile as she runs and grabs her coat. She kisses Ryan quickly on the cheek then heads out the door with Baze.

Lux is walking down the streets with her bags in hand not exactly sure where she was going to go now.

Cate and Baze are in Baze's truck driving around. "I don't even know where to look for her at." Cate says mad at herself.

"Try calling Fern again."

"Baze, I called like ten times already. Fern doesn't know where Lux would go either. If we can't find her and actually take care of her, she'll be put back in foster care. Baze, I cannot have her in foster care. We just got her back!" Cate yells worriedly.

"Hey, Cate! We will find her and she will stay with us. I promise."

"Don't make promises you can't keep, Baze. And Lauren is pissed at us. Both my daughters hate me. I'm such a great mother." Cate says sarcastically.

"Lauren loves you, and you know that. She goes to you for everything. She looks up to you. As for Lux, she will come to love you. We will show her that we can love her and take care of her. She's safe now." Baze assures her. Cate smiles at him. "What?" He asks confused.

"Your a good dad, you know that?" Cate tells him.

Baze shakes his head. "No, I don't know about that. I live above a bar remember."

"Yeah, but you still remember to pick up Lauren every morning for school and you're there for every game. Lux will love you."

Baze smiles at her. He never heard Cate tell him that before. "Thanks, Cate."

"Uh, hey, maybe she went to the bar." Cate says quickly changing the subject.

"Yeah, alright. We'll go check." Baze says driving off in the direction of his bar.

At Cate's, Ryan knocks on Lauren's door then opens it slowly. He sees Lauren laying on her bed holding a stuffed monkey Cate had given her when she was little close to her chest. Ryan walks over to her bed and sits next to her.

"Hey, kid."

Lauren turns her head towards him and gives him a small smile. Ryan could tell she had been crying.

"Hey." Lauren says nearly above a whisper.

"Your mom and dad went look for Lux." Ryan tells her.

"That's her name? Lux?" Ryan nods his head. "I wonder what it means."

"Well, maybe you can ask her when you meet her."

"I can't believe I have a sister." Lauren says sitting up. She scoots closer to Ryan and puts her head down on his shoulder. Ryan was like her second dad and she loved him a lot. When she was nine Cate and Ryan started dating, and like any other kid Lauren was unsure about it. She really wanted her mom and dad to be together, secretely she stills does, but Ryan was good to her and her mom, so she became okay with it.

"Yeah, me either. Your mom kept her a secret from everyone." Ryan tells her.

"I wonder if we look alike. Or if she'll even like me. Or if I'll even like her."

Ryan laughs. "I'm sure she will like you. You are very likeable, Lauren Bazile."

Lauren just smiles up at him.

At the bar Cate and Baze walk in after searching upstairs. "I figured she'd be here." Cate tells him.

"Yeah, me too."

"Oh my gosh. What if she is out there with no where to sleep. It's cold out there, Baze!" Cate was starting to panic. Baze grabs her by her shoulders and gets in her face.

"Cate! Calm down. I'm sure Lux is fine." Baze tells her. He lets her go and walks around his bar and grabs himself a beer.

Cate gives him a disgusted look. "What the hell are you doing?"

"I need a beer." He says grabbing another one and opening it. He puts it in front of Cate. "And you look like you need one, too."

"Baze, are you stupid? Our daughter is out there and you're having a beer?" She yells.

"Cate, I'm sure Lux is fine. And we're not going to find her tonight. We'll start back up in the morning. I promise you, I'm sure she is fine."

Cate sits down and drinks the beer Baze put in front of her. "Okay, but after this one you're taking me home. I need to talk to Lauren."

"Fine."

Two hours, and five beers later.

"I love Ryan." Cate says slurring her words clearly drunk. "I love my daughters, too. Ya know, I loved Lux as soon as I found out I was pregnant. I wish I could have kept her."

"You did the right thing, Cate."

"Did I? They told me she was going to be adopted. She wasn't adopted, Baze. I screwed up."

"You're not a screw up, Cate." He sits down next to Cate.

"Yes, I am. I kept her a secret from everyone. I'm horrible."

Baze takes Cate's hand. "You're not horrible." Cate looks at their hands then up at Baze's eyes. They slowly lean into eachother and start making out.

It's morning and Cate opens her eyes. She gets up fast and turns around seeing Baze on the side of her. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" Cate gets up and starts grabbing her things while waking up Baze in the process.

"What is your problem?" Baze says clearly hungover.

"We did not just do this." Cate says putting her dress back on.

"Three times, actually."

"Shut up! I need to go home. Ryan and Lauren are probably wondering where the hell I am."

"Cate."

"Leave me alone, Baze!" Cate grabs her purse and runs out of Baze's place.

Outside Cate is running down the sidewalk as she trips over something. The person gets up and pushes the blankets off of her. Cate turns around and is surprised when she sees the person is Lux.

"Cate?"

"Lux, what are you doing here?" Cate asks her.

Lux gets up wrapping the blankets tighter around her and sits down on her luggage. Cate sits next to her.

"I was waiting for Baze to get back. What are you doing here? It's kinda early."

"We were looking for you. Why did you run away from us?"

"Look, Cate, you have a kid. You don't need another teenager around." Lux tells her.

"You're my daughter, Lux. I'm sorry I wasn't there. If I would have known that you weren't adopted then I would have helped you. You didn't need to go through all the things you've went through. And as for Lauren, I think she'd be happy to have you around. I'll probably stop bothering her so much." Cate jokes making Lux smile a little.

"I never had a family before." Lux says as she looks away.

Cate grabs Lux's chin to face her. "You have a family now."

Cate and Lux smile at eachother as Cate wraps her arms around Lux protectively as they sit in silence now.
