"Huff huff" CC breaths heavily as she ran around the field for practice. She puts on earphones and listen to the music to help her keep on the pace.
'Does mom have a twin? If she does, then why she never tell nor see her on every family occasion?' She thought as she ran.
"CC! Go on for another lap and take 5!" Coach Kim yelled as she also signed with her hands as she keep tracks on the time.
She saw and nodded as she fasten her pace a bit 'if they do related that means...that means me and that girl are cousins' she thought to herself.
The more she thinks about it the more annoyed she gets. She ran faster and finished the lap.
"Good job C!" Ava said as she raised her hand for a high 5 but CC just walk past her and sat on the bench, quenching her thirst.
Ava shook her head and lazily walked towards her best friend "hey" she said as she say down next to her.
CC took out her earphones and keep it aside "sorry...I didn't mean to left you hanging" she apologised.
"Nah it's cool." Ava smiled as she bend over resting her head on her own knees as she face to the side looking at CC "are you still thinking the possibility of you and that girl might be cousins?" She asked with a smile.
CC flicked her exposed forehead with her finger and slightly groans out her frustration "would you put on a smile if the person you started have interest on is actually and might be your cousin?" She asked.
Ava cries as she rubs the pain away "no...but that's doesn't mean it's the end of the world for me. I can just find someone else" she said.
CC sighed as she heard the answer from her best friend. Suddenly her mother came "CC..." she called as she came closer.
"M-Mom?? What are you doing here? My practice aren't done till another half an hour" CC said.
Jess looks like she's holding on her tears and took a a second to calm herself down "I know.. but something happened to your pop pop..." she said as she started to choke on her tears.
"Mom...what's going on? What happened to pop pop...wha-" she noticed her father waiting for them at the car with sad look on his face.
"He's gone,CC...pop pop passed away" Jess cries as she pulled her daughter into her arms.
At first CC thought she could be strong after hearing the news but it's about her pop pop. The first man that support her hobby and encouraged her to grow it into her career.

"So I was thinking of doing DNA test. Do you think mum would agree and pay for that plan?" Katie asked as she walked home side by side with Nando.
"Katie..I must say you're getting obsessed over her. And just forget it already. We might be related because our mothers look exactly the same like identical twins. Also no. Mum would never pay that for you" Nando said as he walked faster , leaving the girl behind.
"Hey wait up!" She yelled as she chase after.

"I know we all still shock...but for pop pop we need to be strong and continue with our life." Bill said as he drove towards the nursing home where the put the old man to bed taken of when he still alive.
Soon they arrived as Bill parked the car at reserved parking lot. CC and Jess gets in first where then she met the person on duty when pop pop passed away.
"Hi my name is Yao Lee. But just call me Lee" the person introduced himself.
"Very sorry for the trouble...thank you for informing us" Jess said as she bow a bit.
Lee smiles and stopped her "it's okay as it's part of my job. Oh before I forgot, he told me to pass box this to you as if he knew his time has come.... When I came in the morning to give him daily med..he'd already gone. Sorry for your loss" Lee said as he passed the box and walked away.
Jess wiped her tears and curious about the box. On top of it there's a note with her name on it "to my beloved daughter, Jessie".
CC wrapped her arms around her mother from the side as she try to comfort her mother who started to cry again.

"Okay okay! Like think of it, you might have an athlete sister in law! How cool that sounds like??" Katie said as she smiles widely.
Nando cuts the vegetables as he prepping for the dinner later "and add on scandalous title incestuous relationship with own couzy" Nando added and that makes the sister annoyed.
"Could you please, at least pray that we're not related??? Don't you love seeing your sister happy?" She begged.
"Katie. You're my dumb sister that I love so much that I only pray nothing but happiness for you but thing's that happening at the moment going to hurt you and right now I'm telling you. Forget.about.her." He said as he emphasised the last three words sternly.
Katie was surprised. She finally see that her little brother is serious and getting mature as he grew. She sighed and helped him prep "fine...I'll not talk nor think about her anymore" she said as she chop the chicken meat.

Jess sat down in her room and started to open the box which she saw an unopened letter in it. She tears it and started to read.
Dear my beloved Jessie,
When you're reading this ,surely I've already dead.
Because if I'm still alive, I'll throw this paper and talk directly to you.
You are my precious princess that I raised with my both hand.
Having Bill married to you is my hardest decision because I'm scared to let you go.
But soon I realised..he could take care and love you as much as I did or even more than I did.
Thank you for those three little rascals, I'll be missing them.
CC going to be a great player, I just knew it.
Wyatt will win the noble prize with one of his discoveries in the future in science.
Miles,he's already great and he will always be.
Pickles....i can't believe you didn't choose Doberman like i suggested.
Also before I forgot...Jessie...
You have a twin sister. I'm sorry for keeping this secret from you.
To be honest I missed her a lot. I hope you could find her on my behalf and tell her how sorry I am for separating you with her.
All these happened because of a huge fight I had with your mother.
I'm sorry for lying to you about your mother's whereabouts.
I didn't know whether your mother still alive or not.
The last time someone told me they live at California. If they still lives there, then God's with you.
Jessie...again. I'm sorry.
Love,
Pop.
Jessie couldn't believe what she just read. It all mixed feelings for her.
