*Kiara's POV*

''How are you Kiara?''

''I'm alright, tired but not too bad, thanks''

Me and Remus have been talking every now and then, neither of us knowing what to say to each other. There's always an awkward silence between us every now and then.

''Are you -''

I start to say, but hesitate as to whether to finish my sentence. I'm not sure if I can handle the truth. What if he isnt my dad, and my mum and sister just mistaken him for someone else? All of me hopes thats not true, for various reasons. Remus is a gentle person and a very wise one too, and if he isnt my dad then that means I could go my whole life without knowing who he is.

It's exhausting just thinking about looking for my dad, if he isnt the man sitting in front of me right now.

''-Am I what?''

I take a deep breath in, fighting back the tears and swallowing the lump in my throat, trying to talk through it but not having much luck.

"Are you my real father?"

I choke on my words, tears trailing over my cheeks.

Remus' expression didn't change at all. He sighs deeply, slumping his shoulders, making him look somewhat relaxed.

"I am, yes"

He says softly. I can't bring myself to say anything. My throat has tighten around for the lump and my eyes won't stop watering.

This is getting very embarrassing.

"Why are you crying?"

He asks sounding very concerned. I shrug and look around the room, in any direction where I don't have to look him in the eye.

I sloppily wipe away the tears from my face and wipe my hand on my trousers.

Remus slowly gets up from his seat and sits down next to me. I don't know what came over me but, without thinking, I pulled Remus into a bear hug and sobbed my heart out on his shoulder.

To my surprise, he hugs me back, as tightly as possible, as if putting all my broken pieces back together, and he was the missing puzzle piece.
