Chapter 9

Lucy’s POV

I sat quietly in my dads car on the way home from the airport. He could tell something had happened but he didn’t push for details.

"How was your trip? I’m surprised you came home early."

"It was fine. JJ got a little busy so I decided to come home." I lied.

"Didn’t want to venture out into Houston by yourself?" My dad teased.

"Sure, you could say that." I lied again.

"So uh… I know I said I wouldn’t push you on this topic but I got another phone call from your birth mom wanting to meet you."

"I don’t want to meet her." I said.

"Ok I will let her know."

"Did you know?" I asked.

"Did I know what?" He asked back.

"That Beth bought me from her?" I asked.

"I found out when I found the papers a few years ago. By then it was too late to ask her about it."

"But how did you not realize she wasn’t pregnant with me?"

"I don’t know Lucy. The doctors told us she couldn’t have kids so when she said she was pregnant and showed me the test I didn’t question it. I’m not making excuses for her but I think she wanted a baby so badly and when she couldn’t have one of her own she went to extreme measures. I think if she thought she raise you like she was brought up, you wouldn’t have any features of your birth parents. But as you got older, you didn’t look like her or act like her. As you got older it was like she was losing control of raising you and that’s when it went downhill. She didn’t want you to look or act like them but you did. It bothered her even more when you didn’t favor me in the slightest bit. I mean how can two blue eyed, blonde haired people have a hazel eyed, brown haired baby?"

I sat and thought about everything he just said and we both remained silent for remainder of the car ride home. Dad helped me unload my bags and bring them into my house.

"Lucy… I’m not telling you to meet her but just think about it a little while longer. Give her a chance. She was young and who knows you may get to have a decent mother, daughter relationship you should’ve had from the beginning. Jackie excluded because she adores you as her own and I know you think of her as your mom but it wouldn’t hurt to have more family." He said and hugged me bye.

I sighed and got to unpacking my bags. I had a lot of laundry to do and it probably wouldn’t hurt to clean my house. I got myself busy to keep my mind off JJ and the things my dad talked about. Maybe I did owe it to this woman to meet her. Maybe I should call JJ I thought. Then I quickly got that thought out of my head. I was starting to think that maybe me and JJ were a bad idea together. Yes I loved him but it felt like we were too different together. I know that I had changed a lot in the years since I last seen him but he hadn’t changed that much. I couldn’t see that being good for a relationship. But then again I wasn’t being very positive in general since I left Houston. I probably shouldn’t have left the way I did and I was starting to regret it. I assumed JJ threw my letter away and said to hell with me.
