A Different Type of Family

Making Amends

Jesus and Jude eyed their dad Armando as he sighde and eyed his adopted sons'. "What's up?"

"I got a call from CPS. Ana and Donald want to talk to the two of you," he added as the boys' eyed him shocked. "Why?" Jesus asked.

"Yeah. Why now?" Jude asked. "After all this time. I'm 18 and Jesus is 19."

"I don't know, but this is up to the two of you. If you decide I will support it and take you. If you decide not too I will support you as well," he added. "I can't make this choice for you." Armando added as he left to take a shower since he just got off from work.

They nodded as he went to up to his master bedroom to take a shower. The two bio brothers' sighed as they eyed on another. Jesus broke the silence by saying what was on his mind and faced Jude. "I'm not going and don't care what they have to say. Donald isn't even my dad anyway and never was."

"You didn't even think on it," Jude added. "I want to go."

"Then go. I'm not stopping you. I don't want to hear what she or he has to say. She abandoned us way before he went to jail. All our issues we suffered are because she was a shit ass mother who only cared for drugs and alcohol."

"She is still our mother," Jude added. "I remember her giving me my bottles and dressing me up," Jude defended. Jesus sighed sadly and sat down as he wiped tears.

"That wasn't Ana. That was Mariana. By the time you were born, Donald was arrested for manslaughter and Ana was already hooked on both. Mariana and I learned from a young age how to chance diapers, feed and change you into clothes."

"You are lying," Jude added. "CPS took us away."

"THEY DID NOT. SHE ABANDONED US ON CHRISTMAS DAY. MARIANA AND I WERE 2 AND YOU WERE A YEAR."

"YOU LIE!" Jude added. "LIAR."

"Believe what you want Jude. Mariana and I took all your beatings, feed you, changed you. We sacrificed everything for you," Jesus snapped. "You could be a little more grateful."

"You and Mariana did not do those things for me. It was mom," Jude screamed out as he shoved his older brother as Owen and Oliver came to stop the fight that was happening between the two. 

"STOP," the twins added as they tried to pull them apart. Armando came running downstairs and helped his older son's with his younger ones from coming to blows. Armando whistled and all four boys' stopped dead in their tracks.

"WHAT IS GOING ON?" Armando asked shocked. "Is this about Ana?"

"He is saying horrible things about her," Jude added.

"I only told him I don't want to see her or hear her excuses," Jesus added. Armando sighed.

"And Jude I told you both to make a decision and I will accept it. But if Jesus doesn't want to see Ana he doesn't have too. Now what did Jesus tell you about Ana?"

As Jude finished, Armando sighed. "Jude. Jesus is right. Ana wasn't the one that took care of you as a baby. That was the twins, more Mariana though."

"You are lying," Jude added.

"Why would I lie? CPS has proof and the police department. Believe what you want Jude. In the end, Ana and Donald were dead beat parents."

"She was a good mother," Jude defended.

"If she was so good as a mother, why were we in the system? Why did she abandon us, why did she take drugs and alcohol? Why did she leave a newborn and one year old twins at home alone?" Jesus asked. Jude stayed quiet. "What about Isabella?"
