Finding Emmaleigh Blakely

Chapter 28

Emmaleigh's POV

When Alivia came home yesterday, I was very glad to see her all in one piece. "See, that wasn't all that bad, was it?" I asked her just like a mom would as their child after they did something that they didn't want to do. That's how I felt, I felt like Alivia was my child and I was her mom guiding her through life. I didn't feel like this all of the time. In fact, sometimes I felt like she was the mom guiding me through life. "No, I guess it wasn't." She admitted to me blushing. I guess that she was embarrassed that she made such a big deal over one tiny thing that turned out to be not that bad after all. I laughed. "Why are you laughing at me?" She asked like she was offended. "Because you are hilarious." I say in between laughs. "Why? Is there something on my face?!" She asked covering up her face. "No, you just over exaggerated the whole thing and it turned out to be not that bad after all." I said still cracking up. "Well that's not my fault that I was scared to be dropped from twenty feet in the air. If I was dropped, then I would have landed on the hard, wooden, gym floor. That would have hurt a whole lot." She explained to me in a sassy tone of voice. "Ya, if you were dropped and you weren't. It would have hurt and it didn't because you weren't dropped." I replied back to her stating the obvious. "Ya, I guess you're right." She said agreeing with me. A smile appeared on her face and I giggled a little. I always knew how to make her feel better. I am her mom guiding her through life, remember?

Alivia's POV

I smiled. Emmaleigh always knew how to make me feel better. Sometimes I felt like she was my mom guiding me through life. I like that feeling; however, sometimes, I feel like I'm her mom guiding her through life. I guess it's a special twin connection that we have or something. Sometimes things just happen that I have no idea what it is, but they just happen with no explanation. I grabbed a snack and headed up to my room to work on a picture, a poem, and a whole bunch of other things that I was making for Emmaleigh. I was making these things because I wanted to show her how lucky I was to have someone like her to be my twin. Honestly, I have no idea what I would have ever done without her.

Caroline (Alivia's mom's) POV

I knew it. I just knew it. I knew this day would come. The day where people would be suspicious that I stole Alivia. Yes, I did steal her, but I didn't mean to. Well, obviously, I did it on purpose, but now, I feel terrible about what I have done. You see, one day I was strolling around a local (at the time it was local) hospital. I went close to the newborn baby section. I started to cry because I was never able to have kids. When saw two girls that had twin on the front of their bed, I had the idea to 'borrow' one of them. I thought to myself, surely the mom wouldn't miss just one, so I took her. Then, we moved to Texas Now I do feel terrible about it, but at least she doesn't even remember me and she is living her life the way she was meant to live it. I was not going to tell anyone I stole them, obviously, but I knew that I would regret it forever. 

Stacy (Mom's) POV

I knew it all along. I knew that the strange lady lurking around the hospital was the one who stole Alivia. That strange lady had been Caroline. I was devastated. I actually didn't know that it was her who stole it, I just found out when she told me guiltily about the whole thing. I actually wasn't mad because I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. I knew that I should have been more responsible and keep track of my kids better, but everything happens for a reason, right?

Alivia's POV

I have been working all day on these presents for Em and I am very proud of them. I will wrap them up right now and give them to her tomorrow. I hope she will like them, I mean they all came from the heart. I made her a poem and a picture; I bought us matching sister friendship bracelets and 'sisters by chance, friends by choice' sister necklaces. Because if we are all being totally honest here, the stores can make them better than I would ever be able to in my life. I can't wait to see the look on her face tomorrow.

Author's Note:

               So I guess that finally solves the mystery of who Alivia was switched with. I had really no ideas for this chapter, so I basically made this chapter up on the spot. Usually things I make up on the spot are better than the ones I plan out anyway. Thanks for reading! As always, stay awesome!
