It's been about a week since Carly and I have seen Tiff. I've had Rachel with me of course, but she was suppose to go home on Sunday, it's now Saturday. I don't mind having her but she keeps asking for her mother, and I don't know what to tell her. I had things to do and I don't want to put too much on my mom, she watches the boys and then she'll watch Rach. Knowing she doesn't mind, but I still don't know because Rach and Ashton are rowdy when they're together. I hope they don't drive her crazy.
All week I've been thinking about today. Last week we went to see Aaron's parents and it didn't go as planned. I have a feeling mines won't go as planned either so not only is Aaron with me, I made Eli tag along so I won't be there alone. These people made me emotional my whole life, I found out my mom put me up for adoption because my dad made her. She's a shitty mom for that, because she got pregnant a few months after she put me up, I heard. I have so much to ask, it is so many unanswered questions I just want answers. I don't want to let the anger inside me out, but if I had too I would.
We pulled up to my parents house. I stepped out of the car grabbing my clutch off the seat. I shut the door and took a deep breath before walking up the walk way to their house. I got to the door and knocked on it gently. I heard the boys rush up next to me and stand there waiting for the door to open. When it did a gorgeous little girl smiled up at me pushing the door open. She had to be at least fourteen.
"Hey, you must be Ashley. I'm Erica." She introduced herself as we walked inside. I smiled holding my hand out to shake hers, her hand wrapped around mines shaking it.
"Yep, nice to meet you gorgeous." She blushed a little. Before she could say anything else my "mother" Christina walked into the living room.
"You look like me when I was younger Ashley." A smile was spread across her lips, as much as I hated it, it was true. She walked over to me pulling me into a tight hug. I don't know why but this felt so right and I wanted to stay here forever. I hugged her back tucking my head in her arms. "I'm glad you came, I have so much to explain to you."
"Good, I just need closure in my life ya know. Im tired of thinking of my past and if I get to the bottom of most of it, I'll probably just get rid of my thoughts about it." I explained letting go of her. She stepped back nodding her head.
"Well first and foremost you have the right to know, the real amount of siblings you have. You have three big brothers, two little sisters, and a baby brother. They'll all be here soon to meet you." I smiled a little then looked behind me. I'd hate for Elijah to feel left out.
"I'll be happy to meet them. Well, Christina this is my brother Elijah and my boyfriend, soon to be husband Aaron. Guys this is my birth mother, Christina." They both stood up and hugged her. So far so good. I hope it stays this way.
A hour later my siblings started to come. Erica was one of my little sisters and she is thirteen, my big brother name is Ethan, he's 25. Derek's 28,and Junior is 23. My other little sister, Kai is nineteen, and my baby brothers six. It's cool to meet some family members. I wish I would have known them my whole life. We were all in the family room, including my sperm donor. I didn't even look his way but he looked angry. I felt comfortable around everyone, except him. They made me feel so Welcome.
"Well, I've been through a lot in my life actually. Eli was there most of the time, he's been my brother since we met each other in the Foster home." I grabbed his hand smiling. I didn't want him to feel left out around us. Aaron can't feel left out, all he do is jump in convos and touch on me.
"How long were you in a Foster home before you got adopted?" Junior asked.
"Well, we. " I had Eli's hand in mines. "Both got adopted into this very fabulous home at the age of two. They said I was put into the adoption home when I was two weeks old."
"So you had a home, what was the things you went through as a child." Erica asked me. I didn't know what to say or where to start. I don't think I want them to know about my past, it's so much.
"I'll tell you another time. Trust me this will not be the last time I see you all. I mean I know we didn't grow up together but... we are family." They all smiled at me..
"Your boyfriends cute."Kai stated popping her gum, she's a little hoe I can tell. I see she's going to be the one I'd have to stay away from or I'd kick her ass.
"I know." I replied dryly.
"Sooo, I heard you have a son. What's his name?" I looked Derek's way.
"I just had a son about a month ago, His names Kassir. My oldest son is three, he'll be four Tuesday, and his names Ashton." I smiled thinking of the kids.
"Well I got two kids, mind if we come by and meet them sometime?" Ethan asked and I nodded.
"Actually, I didn't think this would go well so I didn't bring invitations but you all are welcomed to his party Thursday. He'd love more family around, but he's really shy."
"That'll be lovely. All of us will be there." My mother stood up smiling. Everyone looked happy about it but my dad and Kai. She can keep her ass home and so can he. "Come, let me speak with you. Excuse us."
Christina, My Father , and I walked out the room. I was scare about what we were going to talk about. We walked into their bedroom and closed the door. I was directed to sit on the bed so I did so getting comfortable. The look on my dad's face was mixed emotions, My mother sat next to me.
"When I had you, you were my first daughter. My mother didn't approve of you, and we didn't know why. I myself didn't personally put you up for adoption. You were taken away from me because we didn't have a steady home. I had your three brothers , but they weren't always with me. My mother didn't want to take you into her house. I was wild when I was younger. I got your brothers back, but I couldn't get you back because you were in the system." She explained to me.
"When you were a baby I was so attached to you. So attached I was scared, scared that I may hurt you. I was husky, still am. I thought if I'd hold you too tight I'd squish you. You would never let me go, and when they cane and git you I was devastated. I didn't want anything to do with anyone. I have changed since that day, and when I said those hurtful things I didn't mean it. You look so much like me it's crazy, it'd be hard to deny you're my daughter. When I first seen you I seen you with your Foster father, you looker happy and I didn't wanna take you away from that." My dad then explained.
"Y'all are going to make me smudge my make up. I've been through so much in my life, and it's because I thought you guys didn't want me. Without Elijah and Aaron I'd be dead." I whispered wiping my eyes.
"Whys that?" They both asked.
"I tried killing my self right around five times. I was bullied and everything for no reason, I wanted out. I wanted to be gone..."

"Thanks Ash." Eli said as we slid into the car. I looked at him confused while laying my head on Aaron's lap.
"Why?"
"You didn't exclude me from anything. When you talked, you talked about us... I love you sis." I smiled.
"I love you more bro. "
