Unexpected Reunion

An Extended Family

        I was sitting in front of the fire just thinking. It was the day after my wedding, and it was supposed to be a happy time, but I had way too many things running through my head. After this Troy guy dropped such a huge bomb on me, Damon kicked him out so I could think. He told him that I would contact him when I was ready.

I couldn't believe that my mom would keep this from me. I mean especially after everything that happened with my father, or Paul. I heard the front door close, and I knew that Damon was home.

When I looked up it wasn't Damon, it was Katie. She sat down next to me and wrapped her arms around me.

"I'm sorry that this got dropped on you. I mean I can't imagine what is happening in that head of yours, but Damon and I want you to do something."

She pulled out a box and I saw it was a home DNA test.

 "Damon is over wherever this Troy guy is with the other part of this test. He's going to swab or spit or whatever you do with this thing. That way we can get answers before you let this get to you too much." 

She held out the box and I took it. I took out the stuff and luckily it was swab not spit because that would have been gross.

We went to the bathroom and followed the instructions and then we were done. Now we just waited for Damon to come back, and we would send it in.

Damon came back a couple of hours later. I walked into his arms and just held him. "I missed you."

He kissed the top of my head. "I missed you too. I got everything we need to send this out and get your results."

We put everything in the envelope and put it in the mailbox. 

I looked up at Damon. "You were gone awhile, you didn't kill him, did you?"

Damon shook his head. "No, I just explained nicely that he is not to contact you again until you are ready."

I looked at him and gave him a questioning look. "You asked him nicely?"

Damon held up his fingers. "Scout's honor, I was as nice as could be." 

I've been thinking about it, and I think I didn't want to wait for the results. Now I just had to convince Damon that I was alright with not waiting to speak to Troy.

"Damon, I think I would like to talk to him. Maybe we can invite him over tomorrow?"

Damon looked at me and crossed his arms. "Saint, that seems a little soon. I mean I thought you would wait until you got the results."

I shook my head. "He may have some things to tell me about my mom. He could be another family member and that could be a really good thing. So, I would like to talk to him."

Damon grabbed me in his arms while he nodded his head. "Ok, I will make the call."

The next day I was nervous. I mean this man could be my real dad. I don't know if I should be angry or not. He could have saved me and my mom from all the things we dealt with from Paul. If he is my father though then maybe he has a wife and children, and I could have siblings. I always wanted siblings!

Damon walked over to me and kneeled in front of me. He started talking to my stomach which was always the most adorable thing I ever saw.

"Hey, there little guy. It's getting closer for your mama and me to meet you. We are super excited. I love you!" I felt the baby moving like crazy, it made me laugh.

Damon stood up and kissed me and then rested his forehead against mine. "Are you sure that you're ready for this? I don't want you getting stressed or anything."
