We decide to go home after the 'Disney Incident.' We both agreed that was enough emotions for the day. They dropped me off. I said,"Good-bye and thanks for a...a...an unforgettable day."

Mrs. Norman said,"You're welcome. Come over anytime!"

I walk into my house and into my room. I sit down on my bed and look at the clock. 2:00 pm. I sigh. 6 whole hours until I can go to bed. What the heck, I think. I'll sleep now. I lay down and sleep after a while.

"Rose! Come here, please." My mom. Ugh! I was in the middle of a very fascinating dream. I was on top of the clouds and everyone kept calling me the Queen. Ha! What a weird dream.

"ROSE!" My mother yells louder now. Not quite scolding, but close.

"Coming, mom!" I yell back. I run down the steps and freeze when I get to the bottom. It's like someone shot me with a arrow. I almost fall over, too. The reason she called me down here is horrific. I look and I can barely breathe. I shudder, gulp, and walk to the door. Slowly, taking care not to startle the person. I try to become calm, but I can't. It's no use. She called me down because there is a man at the door. But not just any man.

The man from Disneyland.

His daughter, the baby boy, and the mother is here, too. Questions are going through my head. How does he know my address? Why is he here? Who is he? He looks so familiar. I stare at my mom unsure what to do.

She sees my terrified face, and nods as if saying, "It's okay, honey. Clam down." But, I can't. I wont. I shake my head to say, "But, I can't. His daughter is nice, however, he freaks me out. Please, get him to leave." I'm sure not all of that got through to her though.

"So," I gulp. "What's this about?"

"Hi," The man answers. "I'm Ted Finley. This is my wife, Robyn, my daughter, Daisy, and my son, Anthony.

"Hi. I'm Christa Harley, and this is my daughter, Rosetta," answers my mom.

Robyn now speaks, "Didn't you-?"

Ted cuts her off. "Yes. That's why we're here."

I step one foot forward. "What's this about now?"

"Rose. This is very hard for me to say but, I'm your dad. You remember your last name used to be Finley?!" He's yelling at the end because I am running up the steps, bawling. I let the tears fall onto my cheeks and down off my face. I don't know what to do with myself. I just awkwardly stand there, in my room, crying.

I finally sit down on my bed and let it sink in. My dad is downstairs and already has two kids, plus a wife. How? I want to know, but I don't want to talk to him. I guess I will wait up here until they leave. Hopefully, my mom will figure out my questions. Hopefully.

"Rose! Please come down, sweetie!" my mom yells. Her voice is so soothing I have to come down. Even if it's just for a minute. I slowly make my way downstairs.

"-related to Bianca?" Daisy is saying.

"Well, the girl who plays her, yes. Your related to Rosetta," Robyn responds.

"Cool!" Daisy jumps up and down. I can't help but smile.

"So," They all look at me. "How do you have a 7 year old daughter if you've only been gone for 10 months?"

This time Daisy answers, "Mommy and Daddy say I was adopted."

"Oh. Okay."

"Robyn and I got married the day after I left."

"You move fast, don't you?" I snap. Anthony starts crying and Robyn takes him outside.

He doesn't answer.

"Can we be friends?" asks Daisy.

"Sure."

"Yeah! I'm friends with a famous person!"

"Yep."
