2-About Vyaas' Sons

Why Ved Vyaas had to employ Ganesh Jee as the scriber of Mahaabhaarat?
MBH, Aadi Parv says that Ved Vyaas Jee went to Brahmaa Jee and told him that he had written a large Granth and now he wanted a scriber who could write his Granth. Brahmaa Jee suggested the name of Ganesh Jee. Ganesh Jee agreed on a condition that he would not stop in between writing, if he had to stop he would leave his job. Vyaas Jee also put a condition that he would not write anything without understanding any thing.

Did Vyaas Jee ever have a wife? Then whose son was Shuk Dev? And how was he born?
We have never heard that Ved Vyaas Jee ever married, but he had two sons from Vichitraveerya's two wives - Ambikaa and Ambaalikaa (Dhritraashtra d Paandu respectively) and one son from Ambikaa's maid - Vidur Jee. But Shuk Dev Jee was also his son. Has anybody read the story of his birth anywhere?
