A/N: This is very different from anything I've written before but I really enjoyed writing it, so I hope you like it!

Request: Can you do a one shot of Jade having a long lost sister named Jasmine Aztec Montoya Garcia that is basically British but speaks Spanish. She has blue-brown eyes the blue shows a little. Her hair is the same colour has jades and she loves to play soccer and she's basically like Jade and loves Disney. Jade finds out about her through Norma telling her how they couldn't afford Jasmine and gave her away to their good friends the Garcia's. (thirlwallwarrior1225)

Jade's P.O.V

I walk into the kitchen and lean against the kitchen counter. "I can't believe I have to go back to London tomorrow, the last week has gone way too quick" I say to mum as she continues to make dinner.

Before she can reply, there's a knock at the door.

"Sorry, Jade, would you mind getting that for me?" Mum asks as she puts the lasagne in the oven.

I walk down the hallway and unlock the door. I open the door and gasp. It's as if I opened the door to a mirror. The girl in front of me has long, thick, brown hair, her eyes are just like mine except they had a few blue streaks running through them and her skin is the exact same caramel tone as mine. If I didn't know any better I'd say we were sisters.

"Hi, I was wondering if I could speak to Norma Badwi?" she says, her voice shaking slightly.

"Sure, I'll just get her for you" I reply, still unsure of who this mystery girl is.

I walk into the kitchen and mum follows me back to the front door.

As we approach the door Mum is looking down and playing with her fingernails, "Jade remind me-" she goes silent when she looks up and notices the girl standing in front of us.

I look at mum, then over at the girl and back to mum, they're both speechless and just stand frozen, staring at each other.

"J-Jasmine?" Mum finally breaks the silence.

Jasmine? Who's Jasmine?

"Mum?" she utters.

Wait, what? Mum? Why is she calling my Mum, Mum?

I just continue to look between the two, waiting for one of them to explain what's going on right now but they both remains silent.

"Excuse me?" I say, when neither of them says anymore.

Suddenly they both break down in tears and envelop each other in a warm embrace.

"Can someone please tell me what's going on?" I interrupt.

They pull back from the hug.

"Jasmine, Jade, we need to talk" Mum says, wiping the tears from her face.

The both of us follow her into the living room and take a seat on the couch, leaving a relatively large gap between each of us.

"Jade" mum takes a deep breath, "Jasmine is your sister."

"My what? My sister? What do you mean she's my sister?" I shake my head, trying to process her words.

I look at Jasmine, I mean we look so similar but I would know if I had a sister, wouldn't I?

"What do you know about everything that happened?" Mum asks Jasmine.

"I know that you're my biological mother. My parents" Jasmine pauses, "my adoptive parents, never told me I was adopted. I only found out last year when they passed away" she explains, looking down when she mentions her parents passing.

"Gloria and Alejandro are dead?" mum says shocked.

Jasmine nods sadly, "You knew them didn't you? I found a letter from you to my mum, can I say that, my mum, I just don't know how I'm meant to refer to each of you" she sighs and I suddenly feel bad for her.

"Jasmine, Gloria was and always will be your mother, she raised you and she was the only mother you knew, of course you can call her your mum" she explains, moving closer to Jasmine and taking one of her hands in her own. "I think this would be easier if I just explained everything from the start" she says.

"I think so" Jasmine and I both say at the same time, making us smile awkwardly at one another.

Mum takes a deep breath before explain the situation. "Okay. Gloria and Alejandro had been friends of ours for over 7 years. Your father and I were in our mid 20's at the time and weren't very financially stable, we weren't even married yet. Gloria had fertility problems and couldn't conceive so they were unable to have children. When I found out I was pregnant I knew we couldn't keep the baby but I refused to abort. I told Gloria a few days after I found out and she proposed that her and Alejandro could adopt you. It was such a difficult decision but I knew it was the right thing because I we couldn't give you the life you deserved. All I asked in return was that they named you Jasmine. When you were born, you were given straight to Gloria and Alejandro and they decided it would be easier on everyone if they moved away. They moved to Argentina a week after you were born and they would regularly send us updates and photos, as you got older they slowed to about two or three times a year but then they stopped completely last year, I just assumed they didn't want us to know about you anymore because you were an adult and had your own life now but... I guess that wasn't the reason."

Mum and Jasmine both look away sadly.

"Anyway, two years later Karl was born and I felt so much guilt but I convinced myself that I had done what was best for you at the time but when Jade was born the guilt was like nothing I had ever felt before. Every time I looked at her I saw you, when she cried, when she smiled, when she laughed, I always thought about how I didn't get to experience that with you and it killed me. I wanted more than anything to be able to hold you in my arms, to care for you and watch you grow but I knew that it wasn't possible. You were someone else's little girl and it wouldn't be fair on anyone if I tried to change that. I only got to hold you in my arms once but I swear I held you in my heart every single day" her voice breaks.

We all wipe the tears from our faces as Mum stops talking.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask, quietly.

"I'm so sorry Jade, it just wasn't my place to say anything" she cries and I stand up to sit beside her, hugging her tightly.

"I'm so sorry Jasmine, I wish I could have been the one to raise you, I really do" Mum continues to cry as Jasmine joins our hug.

"It's okay, I know you were just doing what was best for me" Jasmine smiles understandingly.

Jasmine and I look at each other and I don't know why but I feel this connection between us, like we've known each other our whole lives. Mum wipes her tears and we slowly release her from our embrace.

"I would really love if you would tell me about yourself" Mum says to Jasmine.

"Well my name is Jasmine Aztec Montoya Garcia, as you know I was born on April 5th 1987. I grew up in Argentina, I spoke English at home but I also learnt to speak Spanish."

"That's so cool, I wish I could speak Spanish" I say excitedly. "Sorry, I shouldn't have interrupted."

Jasmine laughs, "No, it's fine! Well, I play the piano, I love to soccer and singing and I anything Disney."

"I love Disney! Sorry, I'm really bad at keeping my mouth shut" I apologise for my outburst.

"There's no doubt that you two are sisters" Mum laughs and Jasmine and I both smile widely.

"Would you like to stay for dinner?" I ask, hesitantly.

"I would love to" Jasmine replies politely.

"Great, we're having lasagne" I smile.

"I love lasagne!" she smiles back and I giggle at how much we have in common.
