Finding Pieces Of Myself

Chapter Fourty - Five

"What's this about mom," asked Alice as she sat down next to Ariel. "Honey, you know that your father and I love both of you" stated Monica. "Of course I do but where is this going" asked Alice confused. "Well, a few days ago your sister reached out to me and your father about something she had found out when she met with your uncle" started Monica. "Wait, what do you mean you met with your uncle," asked Alice as she turned to face Ariel.

But before Alice could ask her mother continued so she called and asked if we would come and talk to you and her about what Daniel had told her. "And what did Daniel say that would cause a situation like this to happen wondered Alice as she emphasized their current situation. "Well you know how I told you when you were younger than your aunt and uncle were killed on a mission, yeah you said my aunt and uncle were misinformed about how many attackers there were replied Alice. "Well that wasn't exactly the truth, the truth is that when you and Ariel were born your parents were close friends of ours

So they asked your father and me if we would be your godparents and of course, we said yes so when your parents were killed you and Alice were brought to us but we don't know why Ariel didn't arrive with you" said Monica. "Hold up, why do you keep saying "your" instead of "hers," asked Alice as she pointed to Ariel. "Cause honey the truth is you didn't meet Ariel in fifth grade, you've known her your entire life," said Aiden. "I don't understand if you're my sister how come I don't remember you or our parents," asked Alice on the verge of anger.

"You were very young when your parents died so that might be why you don't remember them but as for Ariel that is still a puzzle," said Aiden. Regardless of everything else that happened you are our girls and we love you both so much" stated Monica as she tried to hug her daughters but Alice was not having it. "So why did you lie about meeting Daniel," asked Alice as she turned to face her sister.

"I didn't tell you cuz I wanted to make sure it was true before letting you in on it" explained Ariel. "So in the spirit of full disclosure, I do have a secret that I've been keeping from you all, even you dear as Ellis walked in. "Ellis, what are you doing here," asked Ariel. "I'm as confused as you are" replied Ellis as he sat down next to his friends. "Do you remember the story about how your mom and I met well the thing I never told you is that before I met your mom I was in a relationship -- no said Alice knowing exactly where this was going. "Ellis' mother Rose came to see me the night before our wedding to tell me that she was pregnant with a little boy," said Aiden as he looked at his son. "So you're saying that my childhood best friend is actually my half brother" yelled Alice furiously
