51: James' affairs

Mac stayed away. Or so we thought. James gets up to leave the house because it is a work day and what do you know as i watch from the window there was mac. I sighed.
They argued and it didn't seem at all friendly so i watch carefully, and clearly things weren't all forgiven. James walks away in anger i could tell he wasn't going to do anything.
I stand at the doorway as he is outside still.
"Come to be more of a pain" i sighed.
"You can't get enough of yourself can you" i laughed.
"I sent you away for a reason" he hissed.
"Really is that so?" I smiled. "Care to explain father".
"I said i would tell you some day... but i can't yet i am not ready to tell you" he mutters.
"It has to be more important than saying i have mental problems to all my brothers and sisters even tabby, and mum!" I snapped all ready to shut the door.
"There not completely your full family" mac blurts out.
"What?" I questioned. "Is this another one of your games?"
"No it's not, nicole i am your father but marnie isn't your mother" he says.
"Liar!" I screamed. "Marnie is my mother she has been with me my whole life since i was born what you trying to say?"
"That your mother is myra mcqueen" he tells me.
"One of my best friends, no she wouldn't" i laughed. "Your a joke"
"No, i am not, coming meet me at the bean we can talk it through!" He says.
"I have nothing i need to say to you" i hissed and slammed the door shut.

"You seriously telling me mac is saying that you are not marnie's?" Lorie questions. "Why should you believe him".
"That's how i feel, but the mcqueen's have always had me close to there hearts".
"We could do a DNA test" lorie points out. "It will make more actrate.
"I know... but what can i do how would i tell myra" i sighed.
"You take her to hospital with you and marnie too" lorie say making it sound so simple.
"Ok, and you promise to come too?" I asked. "You know i will".
We leave the bean and i text mum and myra to meet me at the hospital.

We get there and they look worried.
"What is this about?" Mum asks.
"Mac told me this crazy idea that myra is my mum" i sighed.
"Outragious!" Mum yelled.
"Miss nightingale" misbah calls.
And we go into her office.
"Hello nicole, what seems to be the problem?" She starts.
"I got told some shocking news by my father Mackenzie nightingale, and i want answers to find out if he is right in saying Myra Mcqueen is my biological mother" i said.
An assisstant went outside and bought in myra, and mum and lorie who joined us and took a seat next to me.
"So what we are planning to do is do a DNA test between all three of you, and which ever matches up with you is your mother, it is simple but i will take up to seven working days to mail you the results, so just so you know are you all willing to do this?" She asks.
"Yes i am" marnie says. "Because this is nonsense!"
"We will see what happens" myra smiles and me and gives me a hug.
I get a sudden flashback to ten years ago.

*flashback*
"Dad where i am i going, this doesn't look like the way into town" i tell him.
"That's because sweetheart it's not" he tells me.
"What is this dad, your scaring me!" I cried.
"Your going away for a while" he says. "Only for a little while".
"But i can't!" I cried. "James needs me".
"James is old enough to look after himself" he snapped.
"No dad he needs protecting from you  coz your cruel and mean, when you used to beat james he is so lucky he is od enough to leave!" I yelled.
"Just like you, you ungrateful little girl, 17 years old and you a spolt brat!" He says. "Don't make me pull over this car".
"Then you will what, smack me like you did to james?" I cried.
"That is exactly that" he says. "Now do as i say." I wanted to cry but i couldn't. Not in front of him.
*flashback*

"Nicole, you ok?" Misbah asks me as i flash into reality.
"Yeah i am fine, let's do this" i nodded.

I get back to james' and it was weirdly silent. Surely james would be home with the tv on and a glass of wine waiting for me. I look around then hear kissing.
"James?" I questioned.  Who was the mystrious guy? Without thinking i open the door and harry is on james and my mouth is open in shock.
"Harry!" I gasped. Harry is the mystery man.
