Explanation

Searching Alec's face Misty could see many questions that lingered there about everything that was going on. She new it was maybe a shock to him and he couldn't help but wonder and make up his own thoughts. But maybe even if she didn't want to talk about it, it was best if she told him what was going on so nothing got two out of hand.

   "Carson was cheating on me for months...maybe even years I am not sure. But thats why he left. It wasn't till after I got his note admitting it I told him he was going to be a father but he'd never get a chance to see the baby. I...I know its his right but I dont want the child knowing a man like that. Not someone who is still in so many tangled webs."

Looking down at her plate again and taking her fork again Misty pokes at the eggs for a second as she still trys to control her emotions. Everything was still new, and it still hurt to think about how she had been betrayed but She had to let Alec know he was family.

   "And Jason...he's been a very good friend of mine from the Elite for a long time. He's a good guy, and a great friend."

Letting out a small sigh Misty looks up at Alec again and gives a small smile. She was doing her best to hold herself together in front of him. Moving on to the next topic Misty was thankful for. It was still hard talking about everything so a little at a time was enough for her.

   "You can have a place to sleep, food to eat, and a little extra money to help you get on your feet. I can't pay you much but the other two things will make up for that. I don't mind at all and am happy to help. Like I said, your family no matter what."

Letting out a small sigh that Mick new nothing Katie couldn't help but be a little worried. She new Jeff was about as thick headed as she was. Thats where she got it from and she new he was over doing it, but he just wouldn't listen to reason about it. 

   "I'll check his bunk than. Thanks Mick."

Leaving the mess hall and walking to the bunk house Katie tucks her hands in her pockets. It was a nice day out today better than it had looked this morning anyways. After her talk with Hunter last night she was feeling a little bit better even if she was slightly sad for her friend situation.

Getting to the bunk and knocking on the door Katie waits, and waits. Not hearing anything she checks the door to see if its unlocked. Seeing it was she enters slowly.

   "Dad?"

Seeing the form in the bed Katie comes over very slowly. If he had worked that hard this morning now maybe he was just over tired. Kaite shakes her head and she lays a hand on his shoulder and gives him a little shake.

   "Dad, lunch is ready you going to join us?"
