Alex's P.O.V:

"Dad, do you know much about mom's family?"

"You want the truth?", my dad said as he sighed heavily.

"Yeah....." I replied with hope in my eyes.

"You found your mom's old journal didn't you?" My dad looked at me, like he could see right through me.

"How'd you know?" I asked, as my eyes widened in shock.

"I knew the day would come when I would have to tell you the truth....."

"Dad, am I your real child?" I looked at him as I saw him starting to get nervous.

He breathed heavily and said, "Alexandra Hilton James.... you are mine and mine only..... but I did not have you from the start....."

I looked at him and asked, "Dad,  tell me everything.... from when you met mom to when you got me..."

"We're gonna be here a while honey, get comfy...."

"One sec dad lemme just go to Katty and tell her she can watch NETFLIX, she's actually pretty good at entertaining herself!"

I ran downstairs and saw Katty already with a bucket of popcorn, lemme rephrase that, every single food item in this house next to her while she binge watches Netflix...

Katty looked at me and said, "going well?" With popcorn stuffed in her mouth.

"Actually.... going great, he's gonna tell me everything when I go up." I said as I turned back to head up.

"Alright then, your gonna tell me everything after.", Katty said as she grabbed the fresh jumbo packet of sour patch kids. I looked at her and wondered... "man... she's just so lovely" I giggled and rushed upstairs.
