 I am now sat in front of my parents once again hoping that I can get some more answers I have so many hoping that dinner might help the situation I plate all the food I had prepared and I was now staring into the eyes of my mother hoping that maybe she will break the silence but when that doesn't happen, I decide I will do it.

" I can understand why you might be confused after the last time I pretty much kicked you out that I am now wanting you here with me by my request and to be honest it's just so I can fully understand more things if that is ok with you two" I ask getting straight to the point I wash down the uneasiness with a glass of water.

My mother nods in agreement and begins to clear her voice.

"We are here to help so any questions you wish to be answered you can ask them" she says folding her hands on the table.

"I would like to know why you are here after all this time?" I say with whatever confidence I have managed to gather.

"Well, you see we recently found out we couldn't have any more kids after you I suffered quite bad with my fertility so when we found that out we immediately went in search of you hoping that you were still in the same area but when they said that you were adopted our hearts dropped and we believed that we just couldn't have kids until one day we came around the area and we saw you walking to school at the time we thought that it was someone else but when we saw your face we instantly knew it was you" she says with her head held down trying to keep herself composed.

" so we got in touch with the social worker and finally found out who adopted you we were so thrilled but when we went to the address that they gave us but you wasn't there and neither was the man they had you fostered to it wasn't until we read an article about a local man found dead and it was linked to his long list of abuse and we saw your name don't worry though as soon as we saw it we made sure that it was kept quiet cause we didn't think you would want that getting out so really we are just here to get to know you if you would allow us" she says now nibbling on her lip trying to gage my reaction to what she said trust me I was shocked about the article thing but I couldn't care less right now the real question I couldn't answer for myself was could I trust these the way they are hoping.

"I have a few more questions if it's ok what do you guys actually do for a living I mean?" I say trying to get to know them, helping me gage if this was even a possibility to allow them into my life.

"Well, I am a nurse I love my job but it does sometimes get busy and your father is a lawyer we both actually work in the area we have recently moved here I hope you don't mind we thought if we moved closer there was a better chance to know you" she says with a loving smile on her face as she looks at my father's face.

I couldn't help but smile as well at how cute of a couple they were. I had wished my parents loved each other like the fairy tales they used to tell you that the prince falls in love with the princess and they live happily after I'm glad they have that.
