Waiting for Blackfoot to react, waiting for his questions. None come and looking into his eyes there's no shock, no confusion and no down right outrage. He knew and if he knew I was a twin then that means.

"You knew! So you lied about not knowing you had a kid, about me." Turning my back ready to walk into my room grab my shit and have Liam come and get me. I knew he was a deadbeat. I guess liar can be added to daddy dearest resume.

"No Kierra I didn't lie, you just assumed wrongly."  Oh so it's my fault I took him saying he didn't know he had a daughter as he actually didn't know about me! Fucking asshat.

"Kiki please stop just come inside and let me explain please." 

A part of me wants to tell him to shove his "explanation" up his ass but Blackfoot doesn't seem like the kind of man that uses please a lot in his vocabulary and he said it twice to me. Then there's the fact that no matter how I feel about him one way or another he is the only family I have left. 

" 5 minutes" walking past Blackfoot heading towards the motels ugly chair. " If I don't like what you have to say I'm gone. I'll call Liam and we will be done. Do you understand?" Making sure to keep eye contact so he knows I'm deadly serious.

" Completely. Just don't interrupt." Blackfoot takes a seat on the twin bed. He's taking a deep breath's like what he's about to say is painful for him.

" Your mom,  Shelly." A sad smile crosses his lips. " We met when we were both just 18, I was visiting her pa, uh town and when I saw her it was magical. Love at first sight magical. She had her whole life planned out. Shells knew exactly who she wanted to be and what she refused to become. Her parents were a lot stricter on the girls in her family something your mother never liked so  I was willing to leave my family my birth right to the tribe when your mom found out she was pregnant with you and your brother Mikel. So we moved to Florida and we were happy, we found out that we were having one of each it was like a fairytale. Then when your mom was 7 months pregnant I got a call, my father was hurt on a hunting trip and we didn't know if he was going to make it or not. Shelly couldn't travel she told me to go handle things with dad then come home. Dad pulled through but couldn't resume his roll in the daily life in the tribe while he was healing so I stayed. Shelly said she understood and would be home waiting for me so we could welcome our babies into the world. There were days where I couldn't call and check on her and I could tell she was worried that I would ask her come to my home. When I called her and a nurse answered said that Shelly had gone into early labor and that it was common on multiple births but I needed to get there as soon as possible, I was on the next flight out. I remember being so scared and so excited. I was going to be a father! When I finally made it to the hospital a nurse the same one to answer Shell's phone took me aside and explained to me that  she was sorry to have to be the one to tell me that there were complications during the delivery and only my son survived. I lost both my girls and I wasn't even there to hold you or even Shell's hand. next thing I knew she was handing me my son and the death certificate's for Shelly and for you. I left Florida with my new son to go home and grieve the daughter I would never know and the woman who was and is my soul. Then Almost 17 years later I get a call in the dead of night that my daughter was involved in a fatal car accident and that she needed me. And well now here we are." 

Blackfoot is looking at me like he's waiting for my question's but with what he just told me if I believe it's true and I do because you can't fake the emotions that the giant of a man displayed while telling me the nightmare he went through. Thinking that the love of your life died while he was away.

Trying to digest everything I now know. Making a list so I don't miss anything.

 Mom has or had parents she didn't grow up in foster care. The man who fathered me wasn't a deadbeat as she wanted me to believe,

 Okay so I might have assumed he was by her never answering my questions about him. I have a brother and not just a brother but a twin someone I share 100% DNA with, I've never had that before. Dylan while he is my brother he was still only my half brother. Mom loved this man she said so in her letter. So if my brain is getting all this correctly then..

My mother is a liar!

She has lied to me my whole life. Fuck she's been lying since I was born! Not just to me but to everyone. My dad both of them. What kind of sick person lies about a baby dying? What kind of woman picks what baby she wants? Why leave her son? And it couldn't be Blackfoot is a bad guy because she left one of her kids for him. So many question that now with her actually being dead, I'll never get the answer's too.

"Does Mikel know about me?"

" He always knew he was born with a sister,but I told him when I got the call and the  doctor told me who your mother was, he's angry not at you but." I hold up my hand.

" I get it. I  can't say I blame him." I'm pissed so I can only imagine just how mad he is. I got to know her as a mother and she was a great mother but as a person in general from what I just learned not great.
