Long Lost Sister

Birth Mum

Anne's POV:

After all these years, my youngest daughter is alive.  After the mixup at the hospital, I wasn't sure if I would ever see her.  I was told she died as an infant, but I never lost hope that she was alive.  "Harry, how do you know she's here?" I asked.  "I saw her, mum," he said.  I needed to see her for myself.  I left the room and scoured the arena for anyone who looked like my daughter, and suddenly I saw her - my Ivanna Kate.  She has grown into the most beautiful young lady and I missed it all.  "Mum, are you alright?" Harry asked from behind me.  I nodded solemnly and asked, "Could you get her backstage again?  I want to meet her."  

Harry's POV:

I tracked down Paul to let him know to get the girl who was possibly my sister and bring her backstage again. He walked off to find Katelynn, and I went to warm up with the lads. Gemma texted me to tell me good luck with the concert tonight and was sorry she couldn't make it. The show would be starting soon, so I quickly got a hair touch-up from Lou, our stylist.

Five songs in, and now it was time for 'Change My Mind.' It's one of my favorite songs from this album, so I couldn't complain.  

Katelynn's POV: 

One Direction's concert was already off to an amazing start.  I had no idea they were this talented.  The blonde one was shredding on the guitar and he was pretty cute.  The next song they were playing, Liz told me, was Change My Mind.  I was listening intently - it was such a beautiful song.  Soon after the song ended, I was approached by a security guard - a very large security guard.  "Harry has requested that you come backstage," he said.  I followed him, giving Liz an 'I have no idea what's going on' look.  I was brought backstage and met by Harry himself and another woman I didn't know, though, she looked like Harry.  Oh my god!  She must be my birth mum - Anne Twist.

Anne's POV:

There she was!  Right before me - my sweet Ivanna Kate.  "Hello love," I started, my voice shaky.  "Hi," she said timidly.  "Katelynn, uh, this is my mum, Anne.  We believe you might be my - sister," Harry said, carefully.  "Your name is Katelynn?  D-did your parents name you that?" I asked.  Katelynn replied, "Yes.  Katelynn Isabella."  "What was my birth name that you gave me?" Katelynn asked me.  "Ivanna Kate.  That was the name I had picked out for you," I told her.  "You are so beautiful," I said whilst going to hug her.  "I'm so glad I have someone that I look like.  I can't believe you are my mum," Katelynn said.  "Are you doing anything for the holiday?" I asked her.  She shook her head 'no' and that's when I said, "Would you like to come for a visit?  Get to know us better?"

Katelynn's POV:

My birth mum just asked me to come to her home to visit during the holiday!  How would my parents react?  Would they even let me do it?  "I would love that.  I just need to ask my parents if they would be okay with it," I told her.  She told me she understood and gave me her contact information.  

*After the concert*

"Hey, thank you for coming to the concert.  I can't wait to get to know you over the holiday!" Anne said to me as she left.  "See you then, Mum," I replied with a smile.  Harry came over next and introduced me to the rest of his bandmates. "Lads, I'd like you to meet my sister, Katelynn," he said.  They looked at him in shock and then back at me.  I smiled nervously.  "You?  You're the missing sister Harry's been talking about?" the brown-headed boy, Liam, I think, asked.  "That would be me," I said with a nervous laugh.  Suddenly, I was smushed into a group hug by all of the boys.  "Welcome to the family, love," Louis said.  Harry pulled me aside and said, "I'm so happy we finally found you!  Mum has never stopped searching, hoping you would be somewhere, out there."  I looked at him, confused.  "What do you mean?  I have always been told I was put up for adoption," I said.  "You were taken from the hospital and we were told you died," he said.  

Well, that was something I didn't expect to hear.

* One Week Later *

After talking to my teacher, I got an extension on the genealogy project.  I still haven't told Liz the news yet, but I plan to tell her soon.  I've been texting Anne to see if she could help me get information for the project before I came to visit.  I had to still ask my parents if I could spend time with my birth mum over the holiday and I was hoping they would be supportive of it.  

When I arrived home, I immediately looked for my parents.  "Mum?  Dad?  Are you here?" I shouted.  "In the garden, love," I heard my mum's faint voice yell back.  I walked to the back garden where I heard her voice come from to find them harvesting some of our homegrown tomatoes.  "Home-cooked meal tonight or prepping for something?" I asked.  "Oh! We might be making stew tomorrow night," Mum said.  I nodded and then decided now would be the best time to ask about the holiday.  "Mum?  Are you and Dad planning anything for the holiday?"  "Not that I know of.  Why?"  Here goes nothing.  "I was wondering if I could maybe travel to Holmes Chapel for the holiday," I said.  "Is this about your birth mum?" Dad asked.  I hesitated and then nodded.  "Love," he started.  He wrapped me in a hug, kissed the top of my head, and said, "Of course you can.  What kind of parents would we be if we didn't let you get to know your birth mum!?"  "Thank you!" I exclaimed, leaping into his arms.  Now to tell Liz.

I texted Liz asking to meet up at the park in half an hour.  I was going to tell her.  I started walking to the park and waited on the bench.  "Hey, babes!  What's going on?" Liz asked as she approached me.  "I have something to tell you and I don't want you to freak out.  I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it," I said.  Come on Kate!  Just tell her!!  "I'm going to Holmes Chapel over the holiday," I started, and Liz, the One Direction superfan said, "That's where Harry's from!"  I mentally groaned.  "Liz!  Focus!  I'm going to spend the holiday with my birth mum," I told her.  "That's awesome Kate!!  What's her name?"  

"Anne.  Anne Twist."  

"Wait!  Harry Styles - the Harry Styles - is your brother?!"
