"my five are going to go and help. Before you say it Zach even if she just helps with little things or just drive Kendall can help."
Lydia looks to Curtis. She knew that he wasn't going to want her letting a lot.

"Just so long as she doesn't try to help with the mattresses or anytbing huge," Zach says, sneaking a kiss on her cheek.
"Babe, I think you should follow that rule too," Curtis whispers.

Lydia nods in agreement.

"Alrighty. Sounds like everyone is in agreement! Let's pile into the cars and head on over, shall we?" Amos calls, clapping his hands together.

While Zach trusts Kendall to carry only the lighter items, Curtis supervises Lydia from a distances like a hawk. They soon have the basics packed and ready to go.

Kendall nor Lydia tried to carry anything heavy.

It takes them another several minutes to unload everything, but, as the saying goes, many hands make light work and they soon have beds set up in all the previouely empty bedrooms.

"Or before they accidentally walk in on us," Curtis whispers, resisting the urge to start something again. "After dinner maybe?"

"exactly." She says. She kisses him before they are all called to dinner.

Curtis allows the kiss to linger for just a moment before he breaks and heads downstairs.
The counters of the kitchen are lined with pizzas, enough to feed a whole army. "Alright, kiddos! No chaos please as you line up," Amos calls as their family gathers around the counters.

They all get their pizza. They all eat in the living room.
Lydia makes sure there is space between her and Curtis.

Anise notices the obvious space between them and snorts, "Really, you guys? You do realize that we all know you're together, right? Together and probably--"
Eliza slaps a hand over her sister's mouth. "It doesn't matter if they're doing those kinds of things, Anise," she whispers harshly. She smiles awkwardly at Lydia and Curtis. "I'm honestly really sorry. She can be tactless."
Anise pries Eliza's hand from her mouth. "No. No one here can apparently take any kimd of teasing."

Curtis sighs. "Fine," he whispers, taking her hand and sqieezing it tightly. "There is something you don't know..."
"He! I told you! They're totally doing it!" Anise snickers. "We heard that music playing earlier. We all know that trick."

"Holy--" Eliza covers Anise's mouth before she can drop the bomb.
"You're... pregnant?" Amos addresses the question to Lydia. It's all starting to make sense now...

"I'm sorry."

"It just kinda... happened," Curtis mumbles.
Jeremy smirks. "Another of your dumb little one night stand things?"
Curtis throws Jeremy a look from hell. "It just sort of happened. I mean... We'd gone off and on for a bit--"
"Didn't you say since you were her age?" Zach chimes in.
"You what?" Amos asks.

Lydia takes his hand. "How old were you when it started Lydia?"
She looks to Curtis, Amos and her mom. "My thirteenth birthday." She says

"Thirteen? Curtis..." Amos chides.
"Oh my god, dad!" Curtis groans, feeling his face begin to burn. "I swear we didn't start doing any of the actual... stuff till she was a little older."
"What exactly happened then?" Amks asks. "And when did that so called stuff start to happen?"

"Not that he didn't want more," Jeremy says. "Knowing Curtis."
"Good God, can you please just stop that?" Curtis explodes. "All the dumb speculating and making me out to be the one person who is apparently super sexually immoral. You didn't grill Zach and Kendall like this!"

"so what if he did he never tried to until he knew I was ready. He has also changed. Give him a chance." Lydia says defending the person she loves against Jeremy.
"You right we didn't . As long as you promise nothing happened before five months ago then we will let it go for right now." Tanya says.

"For now..." Curtis mumbles. "You mean we're going to have to do more of this? Of course this happens to me. It always happens to me. Why does it never happen to anyone else? Never to Zach or Jeremy or June. Hell, dad was perfectly okay when she said she was pregnant with a married man's baby, but you guys get upset over this?" His voice has slowly raised from soft to near shouting.

"Contrary to popular belief in my family, I'm not a bad guy," Curtis mumbles just loud enough for Lydia to hear him.
"We'll talk sometime when it cam be just the four of us," Amos adds.

"Fine," Curtis mumbles.
Zach speaks up. "If it makes You guys feel better, they had a little private talk with me and Kendall too right after we told them."
