(I've had this plot twist since I started this story and I'm so happy that my fellow readers finally get to see it. No more filler because the cats finally coming out of the bag.) 

       "Bastard child" But that didn't make any sense. A family That held their value so close to them would never have a child before marriage.

        Yellow looked over the file and noticed the lines that connected Lily and Todney's names to their fathers. Terrence was the Only Name That Wasn't connected to the father in any way. Yellow used his finger to follow the line from Terrence's name to the edge of the paper.

"How does the line just end at nowhere?" Yellow said. The tree said nothing but looked away.

        Yellow looked back at the paper and noticed something weird about the edge, it felt thicker. He moved it around and his hands and realized that there was a fold. Yellow unfolded the piece of paper and the line connected to an image of a man yellow didn't recognize but underneath the picture, it said the name "Humphrey Rat-eyes".

"Who is Humphrey Rat-eyes and why is he connected to Terrence?" Yellow said.

     "I knew you were going to ask that question so I went ahead and got his file for you." The tree passes the file down with one of its branches to Yellow.

       Humphreys' file was heavy compared to the other files. Yellow opened it up to see it was filled with pages of writing in cursive. Cursive? Yellow thought to himself, then he realized what kind of paper he was looking at. Someone put a diary entry in Humphrey's file.

"But why would someone put something like this in there?" Yellow ask the tree.

       "Why don't you read it," The tree said. "Maybe someone had something important to get off their chest.

     Yellow sat down by the tree and started reading. He looked at the top of the page to see the name and the date were scratched off but he could tell the pages were old but they had been touched recently due to the lack of dust on them.

       "Ever since I was a teenager my parents had been getting me ready for my wedding day

       "Ever since I was a teenager my parents had been getting me ready for my wedding day. They had told me such wonderful things about the men I would be engaged with, how handsome, how kind, and he had the same dream of owning two children just like me. We only met Each other one month before the ceremony and when I saw him my eyes lit up. He was truly everything my parents described. Handsome, chivalrous, and tall."

     "Tall?" Yellow said, "Since when was Keith tall?" Yellow ask the tree.

   "I don't know. But keep reading, you're in for a shock." The tree and Yellow both gave each other a look, like two giddy girls at a sleepover. Yellow continued to read.

        "I walked up to him, he was wearing a very sleek and dashing suit it was clear he wanted to make a wonderful first impression with me. He seems so polite and wonderful, as we were talking my parents pulled me aside and asked me if my future husband yet. I told them I did and I pointed to him from across the room by a long table covered in food. My parents are confused and they pointed to someone else who was across the table. The person they were pointing at looks like a young boy, his face had chocolate and cheese stains on it and his suit looked like it hasn't been washed and over a year. Was he even old enough for marriage?"
