“Mommy?” asked Zarria quietly and walked to the room. It was really late and she was supposed to be sleeping. We just arrived to Paige’s old home and tiredly lay down to her old bed.

“What’s wrong, honey?” asked Paige with that sweet mother voice. I wasn’t sure if I’ll be ever able to do it too. She was just so good at being mother. I never thought that about myself. When Z lay between us, we hugged her and she stared for a while.

“’You know, when we were at the playground today, I noticed something. Marion looks exactly like Conor. They had the same hair, same eyes. Even little Mona had the same eyebrows as CJ. Why do I look different?” Paige opened mouth, but Zarria kept going “I know I can’t look like you. You aren’t my birth moms,” They used to say ‘real moms’ when they were little, but when they saw how much it hurt us, we changed it to ‘birth moms’ “But Menzei IS my real sister. But I am black and she’s white. Why isn’t she black? Why don’t I look like her?” cried her and I didn’t know how to comfort her. I was completely worthless. Paige looked at me with a fear in her eyes. We knew that this day would have to come, eventually. But we just hoped that it would happen later.

“You know, what you and your sister have is unique,” started I, knowing that I have to tell the whole truth. Because one of the things Rosewood taught me was that lie isn’t better that truth. Lie only gets us in trouble.

“When we came to your foster home, we didn’t know you were there. When we found your sister we felt in love with her. Then she showed you to us and we knew that you two are the ones. That we couldn’t live without you, any of you. The lady that was taking care of you till then told us about you. You two were born in the same hospital in the same day. But your mothers disappeared right after they gave birth to you. You were abdomen. And then putted in the same foster home. Two years later there was one kind nurse. She took the two of you and told you that you were sisters, real one. She wanted for you to not to be alone. Because that’s the worst thing in the world, to be alone. She knew it. Since then, you had somebody that was always looking after you and no matter what happened you always had each other. You know, honey, if I could go back in time, I would beg the nurse to do the same. Of course, we had no right to keep the secret from you, but we wanted you to have something. It was a long time till you started to trust us, but you always had the one person who trusted you from the start.

“No! You are lying!” screamed Menzei from behind the door. “You are lying just to get her love me more than me!” screamed she and ran away.

“Menzei! It’s not like that!” screamed Paige behind her and started to run after her. I took Zarria in my arms and ran after them.

“Menzei?” screamed I to the dark, which was outside. We didn’t know where she was. She never did this before.

“Menzei!”
