Third Person's POV

"Maya."

That was when all of them froze. They knew June would eventually know but not like this. Nobody predicted this.

"What did you just call me?" June was shaking, a surprise expression etched on her face, parallel to everyone else's.

"Maya." Ellie repeated.

All of them couldn't speak. This was the moment of truth and everybody was speechless.

"Th-that's not my name." June stammered, walking backwards and away from Ellie. She held onto Calum like she knew she was about to fall.

"It is. Maya. It's me, your mother."

"What do you mean, mom?" Malia spoke from beside her, obviously confused at the scene in front of her. They all were confused.

Ellie turned to face Malia, "Malia, she's your-"

"No! You're not my mother. She's dead." June cried out, her breaths getting uneven by the second.

Calum moved closer to her and whispered, "Baby, slowly, breathe in, breathe out." She did as he say.

"I am and I'm not dead, Maya."

"I said don't call me that!" June yelled, her hands suddenly held on her head and Calum panicked. "June."

Ashton walked over to Ellie and tried to usher her out, "Ellie I think you should leave."

June turned to Calum and rested her head on his shoulder while still holding it with her right hand. She was not okay and neither was everyone else.

It suddenly hit Calum. He knew she was having another one of her episodes and he couldn't let it happen.

Then June screamed. Calum turned so he could look at her face to face. "June, baby, breathe in, breathe out."

"No! Don't please. Don't!" She yelled which got everyone on their feet, worried.

Luke told Michael to usher Mikhaela inside my room as she shouldn't be there and the baby. Ethan took his phone and called 911.

"It's okay, June, I'm here. It's Calum."

"Calum, please don't!" She tried removing his hands from her but he wasn't letting her.

"J." Mikhaela called out, worried for her bestfriend, even Michael was but they had to think of the baby, too so Luke practically forced them to stay in Calum's room.

June was screaming in pain and it scared everyone.

Malia walked over to her mom, "I have a sister?" It was one of the things that she couldn't remember, having a sister. She got close with June and she felt warm everytime they talk, yet she never realized that that was because they were sisters.

"Does it hurt to mention that to me?!" Malia raised her voice at her mother. Malia having a sister was the biggest deal there was yet she felt betrayed because her own mother didn't tell her.

It was one of the things her brain pushed back and she has no recollection of a sister.

Meanwhile, Michael walked out of Calum's room and asked Cassie to take over his place with Mikhaela. He then crouched down at June who was already kneeling on the floor, with a teary-eyed panicking Calum.
