Secret daughter

Chapter 11

"Bye, mommy!" waved my little baby as she gets into the car with Lorenzo. It's been a week since we told her about Lorenzo being her father, and she was ecstatic.

"Lorenzo is your father and he wants to start being there for you so now you have Mama and Papa" We both look at her for what kind of reaction she would give and how she would handle the news, but we got our answer when she hugged Lorenzo with the biggest smile on her face "So are you and papa together now?" Me and Lorenzo? Pftt, as if! I'm not his type and he's not mine we just had a child together that's all.
"No bebé, we aren't together, but you can love us both equally, promise me?" She looked unsure with that answer but, then smiled covering her disappointment and nodded her head making her curls bounce too.
She left the room with excitement and Lorenzo faced me "Thank you, Juliette, for letting me have time with her, so when could I start seeing her?" I chuckle under my breath

"I said we could tell her you're her father but who said you're forgiven that easy?" He let out a groan

"I'll make it up to you guys, and I hope you know how sincerely and deeply sorry I am"

Well, he made it up to us by kissing up to Julianna, he surprised her by showing up at school during pick up, and giving her delicious Italian desserts but, what shocked me the most was that he gave me the location of my mother. Something I really haven't wanted to think about until now. It's been about 5 years since I've seen her, Dulce, and our other relatives. I guess she prohibited them from them talking to me. But what is she going to say to me? What am I going to say to her? Oh, hey mom I had my daughter and became very successful, thanks for disowning me.

I shook my head now is not the time to be thinking about this; I have work to do on Elizabeth and my project. This would be the biggest project in my career because she is one of the biggest fashion designers in Italy.

***

As the hours' pass, I got about five pieces for the project, I am a mess. I got up from my chair and got out of my office.

"Ay me madre, I need a break" Reaching for the keys, I get out of my house and look around for a little bit.

***

I don't know how, but I ended up at the location, the one where my mom and Dulce lived currently. It's like if I lost control of my body when I started walking towards the house. Lifting my hand up towards the doorbell, I pushed on it until I snapped back to reality.

"Shit! What did I do?!" I'm not ready yet. What do I say? A million thoughts past through my head same pace my heart is beating. I turned around to get out of here as quick as I can but halted once a familiar voice reached my ears.

"Juliette?" Don't cry. You're stronger than that.

"Dulce?" I turned around a look at now, twenty-year-old Dulce. She was beautiful; her height changed up a little making her appear taller, her hair   Stayed long but looked healthier than ever. Her baby face completely disappeared, did so much time really past? The little girl who used to take my makeup is now replaced by a woman.

The next thing I knew was being embraced by her same familiar scent which brought tears to my eyes sending me back to all the memories.

"I missed you, Juliette," she said before she broke down into sobs. Not a second longer I joined her.

After a while, she explained the many things that happened while I was gone. Supposedly, my stepdad said that I ran away with a boy leaving all of them behind to be forgotten. According to Dulce, the whole family believed the story except her since she knew her dad was a bullshitter. But karma didn't take long to catch up to him. He was later deported back to Guatemala for getting caught assaulting a man in public under the influence of alcohol, drinking was always a problem for him. We also talked about my life, things like Julianna, my work, and who I am at the moment. But we didn't get into the juicy details of how it all started. She told me that mom hasn't told her much about the situation or about me. It was like I was completely out of the picture, but never truly forgotten. This family broke a little more as soon as I left.

Soon I realized, during all this talking I still didn't get talk about mom at all.

"Dulce. How is mom doing?" she stopped talking and took a deep breath.

"Mom was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer, and to be honest she isn't doing so well since she really misses you, but also we don't have the money to get it treated consistently," After she finished that sentence, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

My mother has been suffering too, I know she kicked me out years ago but, she was still my mother at the end of the day, no matter what. She was still the one who raised me, fed me, clothed me and loved me, how could I just abandon her without at least giving her what she deserves after dealing with me for seventeen years?

"Dulce, I want to help. When does she come back? We can talk about all these things when she is here. I can help with the money, or medical attention, I know the best doctors around or..."

"Juliette? Is that really you?"
