Dear Mona... we're now getting to the end of the story. I decided to write this letter to you, so you'd get a glimpse into why I made the choices I made... I didn't always do what was right. I made mistakes along the way and I hurt people along the way - including myself, but in the end, it gave me you... and from the very first day, I loved you more than life.


One month after the birth...

Mrs. Rae:  Twinkle, look! She's smiling!

Twinkle:  I think that's just gas, mom. But it is adorable, isn't it?

Mrs. Rae:  She is the sweetest baby in the world. How did we get so lucky?!

Twinkle:  I ask myself that all the time. I might be the only mother in history who hasn't lost any sleep.

Mrs. Rae:  Mona is just perfect, but how could she not be? She is my granddaughter after all.

Twinkle:  [Giggles]  That she is.

Mrs. Rae:  Now, did you feed her an afternoon bottle yet?

Twinkle:  Yes--

Mrs. Rae:   And did you wash her sheets? We can't have her on dirty sheets.

Twinkle:   Of course--

Mrs. Rae:  What about her pacifier? It needs to be sanitized after every use.

Twinkle:   MOM! Thank you, I appreciate all your help with Mona. I don't know what I'd do without you.

Mrs. Rae:  Anything for my two favorite ladies. I almost wish I didn't have to work, I could babysit Mona all day long!

Twinkle:  [Giggles]  Yeah, she has us all wrapped around her tiny finger. Just look at her... I can't believe how much hair she has! It's getting long already. 

Mrs. Rae:  She'll look just like her mom, an absolute beauty. Twinkle Gina Rae, I'm so proud of you, you know?

Twinkle:  I suppose you are, if you're calling me by my full name. Thanks, mom. Thank you for being there for me.

Mrs. Rae:   Of course, honey.

Twinkle:  I love our family, and I love that little Mona is now a part of it.

(Blair walks in.)

Blair:  Hogging my baby again, Mrs. Rae?

Mrs. Rae:  [Laughs]  Hello Blair, and of course I am, we can't get enough of her.

Twinkle:  Hey, Blair. Ready for our walk? I think Mona's really been loving it. Especially when Max pushes her carriage over the bumps.

Blair:  Erm, I was ready, but... I brought in your mail and... a certain envelope came in.

Mrs. Rae:  Oh my... it's here.

Twinkle:  The DNA results?

Blair:  Yeah. I figured you might want to...

Twinkle:  Yeah... yeah, I should.

Mrs. Rae:  Do you want us to read it together?

Twinkle:  I think I know who I have to read this with... [Walks out]

I learned the truth then, beyond any doubt. The scientific proof was finally there and it left me with the duty to meet the boys and let them know.
