Before Dylan their relationship was rocky at best most of the time. Carmen thought that a child would help solidify their relationship. She couldn’t have been more right at the time. With the addition of Dylan their life seemed perfect to Spencer. But then Carmen left. Dylan had cried a lot for Carmen the first couple of weeks as did Spencer. But somehow they both got over her and moved on.

This was why she was reluctant to introduce another woman into their lives. She wasn’t sure if either of their hearts could take being abandoned again.

Spencer entered her very loud and very crowded kitchen ready to face her audition. Although she wasn’t sure she was ready for the questions about last night.

“Morning Superstar.” Kyla yelled above the crowd.

“Hey don’t jump ahead of the game. I haven’t even made the show yet.” Spencer pointed out.

“Hey no negativity Miss Thang.” Aiden said looking at Spencer with a stern expression.

“Anyways if the show doesn’t work out there’s always Ashley. Your voice definitely did something to my dear sister the other night. She’ll probably jump at the chance to help you in any way she possibly can I’m sure.” Kyla said giving Spencer a sly knowing grin. All Spencer could do was blush.

“Wound everyone sit down and shut up?” Paula yelled. Everyone except Kyla found a seat. “Thank you kids. Now Kyla has made quite the breakfast feast so lets eat up. We all need our strength and energy up to escort Spencer to her audition.”

“Mom, not everyone has to come if they don’t want to.” Spencer pleaded.

“”And why not?” Joel said sounding slightly offended. “We all want to go or else we wouldn’t be here now. I mean Aiden and I always stop by Kyla and Jeff’s to eat. Although my sis in law is a phenomenal cook, we’re here for you baby girl, not the grub.”

“Absolutely!” Layla added. “You said you wanted your family there if you had to go back today and well here we are. So let’s eat and get you to your audition. You’ve got some judges to blow away.”

Everyone in the room was smiling at her and nodding their heads in agreement. There were her best friends Layla and Aiden plus their significant others. Kyla and Jeff were like older siblings. And then her family by blood, Paula and Dylan. She felt extremely lucky to have such wonderful people surrounding her.
