Erin POV

I knew this day was going to happen but I didn't think that it would be this soon.

Earlier in the day.....

"Mom! Dad! Are you home?"

"Yeah babe I am but your dad he's at the shop."

"Mom we are doing genetics at school at the moment and they were saying how we get traits from either side of our family it got me thinking where does my dark hair come from? I mean the rest of my brothers and sisters have blonde or brown hair but I have pitch black and the shape of my eyes aren't the same either mom. Am I your daughter?"

"I think we need to have a chat you, me and your dad. I'm going to call him okay."

"Yes mom. I'm adopted aren't I?"

"No you're are my girl."

"Then you cheated on daddy. I'm the result of you cheating on daddy."

"Baby we need your dad here we will explain everything when he gets here."

"I'm never talking to you again. I knew I didn't belong here. I'm not a real Dixon. So who am I mom?" And with that she stomps off to her room.

I walk to the phone. I really don't want to make this call.

Ring ring

"Dixon motors. Murphy speaking."

"Hi Murph. Can I speak to Daryl."

"Sure honey. You okay?"

"Yeah had better days but had worse as well."

"Anything we can fix?"

"Nah darling just Daryl."

"No problem." I can hear him calling out to Daryl.

"Hey babe. What's wrong?"

"Can you come home now?"

"Babe you okay?"

"Yeah that thing we didn't think we'd have to talk about we need to talk about it now."

"Ah man okay babe I will be home soon as I can."

"Thanks."

I'm in the lounge when Daryl turns up a few minutes later.

"So you wanna tell me what happened?"

"Well it seems Jennifer is learning genetics at school and she asked why she has black hair and why its different from everyone else."

"Oh dammit."

"We need to tell her what happened." I called Jennifer out.

"Mom what are you talking about what happened?"

"Baby girl come sit down we need to tell you something."

We watch her sit across from us.

"We have to explain something to you."

"You cheated on dad. Mom it's obvious. I look nothing like dad I kinda see bits of you but where does the rest come from?"

"Jennifer I didn't cheat. But your dad isn't your biological father."

"I knew it. I always felt outta place, like I didn't belong with this family."

"Jennifer you are every bit a Dixon as the others." Daryl said.

"Jennifer it wasn't like that. I didn't love your father I didn't even like him. Babe he attacked me."

"He attacked you?" She starts crying. I walk over to her.

"Yeah. It doesn't mean I don't love you any less then your brothers and sisters. I have loved you from the moment I found out about you."

"My father did he rape you am I understanding this?"

"Yeah he did."

"I'm sorry he did that to you." She hugged then sat back down.

"Hey don't you feel sorry about it. You did nothing wrong, you are the best thing to come out of that. I love you so much."

"Jennifer yeah I may not your biological dad but I love you as much as I love your brothers and sisters I don't love any of you anymore then the others. Yeah you might have his hair Jennifer but there is so much of your mom in there I don't see the hair."

"Really daddy? You don't hate that I look like him?"

"No darling I could never hate you. Cause you know why?"

"Why?"

"Cause I love your mom so much. I couldn't help but love you."

"What happened to him? Is he still alive?"

"No he isn't Jennifer. He will never hurt another woman after what he did to your mom."

"Do my brothers and sisters know?"

"No. But I don't know how we can tell them but we will if you want them to know."

"Yeah I do want them to know. They should know the truth."

"They probably should honey. It's time to clear the air."

"Mom everything is okay with you and what happened?"

"Yeah it hurt for a while and your dad and I we weren't in the best place when I was pregnant with you but we came together when we needed to."

"What does that mean mom?"

"Oh that your uncle Aaron had words with your dad and made him realise what he was doing was wrong. We were both hurting and it wasn't your fault it was never your fault it was his. But you are the best thing to come out of it. I love you so much."

"And I love you too mom. And I love you too dad."
