Rosalynnes POV:
I headed off to bed after my talk with Landon, who's apparently my twin brother. I just can't figure out how my mom has kept a second family, and my twin brother a secret all these years. I mean, how do I know if she's even telling the truth? I'll just have to sleep on it and ask my mom in the morning. But still, why would she adopt me if 1.) she was going to have a 2nd family with 3 children, and 2.) if she was going to adopt my twin into a second family. I mean she could have adopted us both at once it's just weird. After a while of racking my brain I look over to the clock on my phone and see it's now 5:00am, I just can't sleep in these conditions. After another 10 minutes or so I hear movement in the closet. Deja and Cristin come out wiping there eyes, I can tell they just woke up."Oh your still awake?" Deja says. I sigh and explain I can't sleep with all that's happening. They both frown and mumble sorry. Itell them it's ok I'll just have to get through this and talk to our mom in the morning, and that I'm sorry they're going through this. They both frown still and kind of stand still, I sit up slightly and pat the bed next to me and Lily, implying for them to come over. They both come and sit on the bed and I decided it's best to let them know me and Landon are twins. I hate to burden them but they deserve the truth too and I refuse to keep things from them like my moon did to me. "Listen I spoke to Landon an hour ago," they both nod a little confused where this is going. "Remember when he ran out earlier and went for a run." Deja replied yea while Cristina nodded. "He said he ran out because our mom and Peter told him he's adopted and we're actually twins."
Cristina's POV:
My jaw dropped at what Rose just told us, I mean how many secrets are there. I'm a little scared there's going to be a secret about me and Deja. I decide to speak up after an awkward moment of silence. "Wait so like mom had him with your dad and put him into our family?" "Oh no I'm adopted to say it's not like that at all. It's more like we were born into another family and our mom decided to put me into my family and Landon into yours." Rose replied. I said oh ok at the same time as Deja. I scored towards Lily a little more and started petting her while I asked rose why all of this is happening suddenly. She frowned and said she really doesn't know and that she's super sorry and she really hopes we can all get along, but that she understands if it's hard but she'll always love us like family. We all hugged and it was just amazing to have a moment of peace. We eventually decided we where all just going to share the bed since none of us could sleep and me and Deja where a little uncomfortable in the closet. Which is usually comfortable to us but it just felt different today. We talked for a few hours and laughed as we shared videos on our phone and posted Lily who was fast asleep. Rosalynne decided to tell us her plan, "Ok so in a couple days after I give my mom a chance to explain, I'm going to probably tell my dad, I feel bad possibly ruining your family with mine, but I just feel like he has a right to know." I chimed in, "No don't worry we completely understand and it seems like our dad knows about both families so it could be all good, of course I'm not saying any of this is right, I just don't want you to feel like you're breaking our family." Deja came in, "Yea, if anything or family is breaking yours." Rosealynne looked sad and said that it's not our fault in anyway it's our moms fault and we shouldn't feel like we're hurting her family either. We finally all settled down with Deja and Rosalynne at the top and me at the bottom of the bed. After a little while we finally fell asleep.
Whitney/Martias POV:
We walked into the storage unit after checking no one was following us. "Ok so let's make this quick before they notice we're gone what is it we have to do to deal with our problem." Peter said. "I called my brother Douggy, he said he'll call me back in a few minutes with his answer." I replied. "Ok, but what if he says no? I mean he's said the last 3 times he's tired of this and would rather us tell his secret than to continue helping us." I told Peter it will be just fine that there's no way he would risk this getting out. After a few more minutes I finally got that call.Whitney: Hello?
Douglas: Hey *sigh* Listen I'm really done this time, I can't continue helping you with this it's affecting us all not just you, and on top of that you won't tell us why you're doing it.
Whitney: Doug don't be stupid, you any I both know me and Peter will expose your secrets. It's just too important and you know too much. I love you my brother, but we have to do this.
Douglas: I don't care anymore release the stupid news, I already told my children and my ex wife's and girlfriend. It's just too stressful to help you with this. I can't do it, I miss mom.
Whitney: SHUT UP— *clears throat * shut up someone could be listening, if they hear us it'll all be over and we're all ruined. Besides Ladybug had this coming to it, how are we supposed to fix this without your help." (Ladybug is code name for the grandma.)
Douglas: Mo- excuse me ladybug doesn't deserve this it has been there for you all of your life. You got to greedy sis, I'm out."
Phone call ends.
"Dang it Peter, he hung up, he says he's not helping us anymore and he already told everyone everything, so we have nothing against him anymore." Peter walked over to the little desk we keep in our storage and pulled out a notebook, "Listen, I wrote some of it down and kept enough materials well be good for 2 more times. For now we have to use this and figure out the rest later." We started reading and began.
Douglas POV:
I hang up the phone and sighed loudly as my daughter walked in. " What are you doing up so late honey?" "I just can't sleep dad I keep getting these random dreams that grandmas not really dead." I get clearly shaken up but dismiss it as her missing her grandma, as they where super close. She agrees and heads back to bed. I'm just so glad I finally told my family what's going on, I feel guilty, but this way we can so stay safe and I can get out of Martias evil plans. I turn off the living room lamp and decided to head off to bed. I just hope I can stay out of this forever now, and get my mom back. I get into my bed and look over to the picture on my bedside table, it's of me, my mom and dad, and Martia. I miss the good days before any of this happened, before Martia went crazy.The pic:
