Spencer's POV
I Cannot believe I just agreed to help my daughter find me. I went to her to try to stop her and now I'm helping. Wow. I guess I really did love her like she is my daughter. She is your daughter, Spencer! I told myself. No, she's not! You gave her up! She's someone else's problem! My two sides fought over this.

"So, how do we look for your birth parents? Are we just gonna walk up to  people and be like 'here are you my mom?'" I asked Lilli.
"Well, you know, I haven't really thought about it." Lilli answered, honestly.
"Where does that leave us?" I asked.
"I guess we could start asking people," Lilli shrugged.
"No!" I said.
"You got a better idea?" She sassed.
I sighed. "Fine."
"Great! Let's start with those people over there," she pointed to where Toby and Aria were sitting.
"No," I said.
"Why not?"
"Because those aren't your parents," I answered.
"How do you know?"
"Because they aren't a couple!" I said, firmly.
"How do you know?" She asked again.
"Because that's my husband! And my best friend!" I yelled.
"Ok, ok," she looked back and Toby and Aria. "Who's that?" She asked, pointing to a young girl who was walking toward Toby.
"Crap!" I whispered. "That's my daughter, Sophie,"
"You have a daughter?" Lilli asked. She seemed hurt but I don't know why, she didn't know she had been replaced. Yet.
"I wasn't expecting that," she said.
"Why not?" I asked.
She shrugged, "I don't know,"

We had asked several people if they had a kid that they had given up. All of them looked at us like we were crazy and walked off.
"This is getting us nowhere," Lilli sighed.
"We just need to keep searching," I said, forcing as much enthusiasm as I can into my voice.
"Easy, for you to say, you don't actually care," Lilli kicked a rock.
"Would I be helping if I didn't care?" I replied. But she never got the chance to say anything because Sophie ran up to me.
"Mom!" She said. "I've been looking for you everywhere,"
