The girl is Chris's daughter and therefore, Katie's niece! Katie really wants to meet her new-found family, but her mum refuses to have anything to do with Martin or anyone associated with him. She would be devastated if she found out that Matt and Katie were seeing Chris behind her back. Things get even more complicated when Matt asks Chris to be best man at his wedding.
