*Slams door of her room* What and who is Aunt Hilda talking about!!!! We need this family meeting now.
She calls her parents, Miguel, Coco, Bella...her cousins...she shouts "Family meeting! and they all echo, "Why!?"
Everyone in the house, here's this news and well, they all get prepared
"The truth is going to come out, one way or another!

*cock crows*
Emily comes out to the halls and shouts, "Rise and shine family! Family meeting today..
I hurry up, brush my curls, pack it in a neat bun, gel the sides and do my baby hairs...what!? I could be meeting my real mama and papa today, I might as well look presentable.
I wear this peach lace gown, it's an off shoulder and it's flay... I wear my flat shoes and apply a little bit of makeup..and took a quick selfie.
Everyone else got dressed and we all met in the living room downstairs. Family began to arrive...from my assumed parents..they gave me a big hug and then to Miguel, Bella and Coco...I missed them so much!
Then to Grandma Mika....and Summer and Adrian...they were so many. We all gathered in the sitting room everyone got a snack bag and we all began to chew. Then Aunt Hilda said, "So Emiliano, you called this meeting because?"
"Oh..oh yeah" trying to stuff the remaining croissant down my throat..." Something came to my attention these past two weeks I've been at the Reds. Mama, papa, I want you to be totally honest with me, who are my birth-"
"What in the barnecles!? Is this some family what? Mrs Delarosa, you!??" She is cut short by Sam
"You know my mum?"
"Yes I do....she was at the hospital with Madam Hilda the day I supposedly gave birth...."
"Supposedly?"
"They said there was no baby..it was still birth but I knew somewhere in my heart that they were lying!!"
"Maggie, I think it's time" Aunt Hilda said to Emiliano's mum.
"Time for what?" Emiliano and Sam echoed
Aunt Hilda began,"It all started when I didn't have kids Emily...I..I.. was desperate..I wanted to hold a baby in my arms just like everyone else... but I took it too seriously and got a little tipped off mentally...I knew this lady, I knew she was poor, I knew she was pregnant..and on the day of her delivery...I carefully mastered how it'll all go.... I gave the doctor a cheque of 100,000 US dollars and they insisted for more...at this time, I heard the baby's cries. I quickly made the deal and they sent the lady to sleep...I took the baby and -
"Hold up a bit, where was dad all these while?" Riley said.
"Well, I had to pretend to be pregnant for nine months so..back to my story. And I left..I wasn't! mentally sound...your mum here Maggie and her husband offered to raise you but I refused. After we had your first birthday..and you were about turning two I was declared mentally unstable for a child. I fought to keep you but they took you!
"Took me?I  heard you say that yesterday.."
"Yes..I did say that. It was either the government or Maggie. At this time I was pregnant...I went for sessions with the therapist and after some months I was a whole lot better. When I asked for you...they refused...Maggie refused, and that's what stirred up all of that anger and hatred towards you, because you could have been mine! Emiliano Red not Delarosa....!"
"The lady....who was she... I mean my mum.. do you know her...?" tears rolling down my cheeks...the make-up running down my face. I knew I would find out who my mum is but I didn't expect it to be like this.
"Yes I do.." The whole family still in shock....shook their heads in disapproval and all echoed.."Who's she!?"
"You." Pointing at Sam the maid...
"The baby you lost....this is her...Emily your mum!"
"What!!!???" The shock on Sam's face and Emiliano's.
Emily ran to Sam and gave her a tight hug.
"I knew it...I knew it... something drawer me to you...and lord he brought you to me...*tears still  rolling down my eyes*.....what would you have named me....."Belle"..
"Belle? But you aren't Mexican."
"Doesn't matter my love, you'd have been Belle Crodynn, that's your dad's surname... we weren't legally married but he loved me and he'll love you too."
"Oh mum..."
"And Aunt Hilda...I understand okay... doesn't matter..you did what you had to do... it's fine."
"Family picture!" Miguel shouted.

"And we love you too"
