Marshall had gotten together with your mother after being single for years after divorcing his ex-wife Kim. He had met everyone from your mother's family, and your mother had also gotten along with his three daughters. Well, he had met everyone but her son. Since he hadn't been here in Detroit. So finally, after 8 months, he returned. So Marshall, his three daughters, Hallie, Aliana Marie and Stevie, alongside my mother, were having dinner at a restaurant where you were also invited so they could finally meet you. Since you were the only kid your mother had, and you were meant to be involved in the family, too.
