Feeling Connected

Chapter 7

Rydel's POV:

So now Marybella knows the truth. I don't think she's taking it too well though. But I'm glad I don't have to keep secrets from her.

Marybella's POV:

I can't believe I actually have siblings. After almost 17 years my "adopted" parents and "biological" parents finally decide to tell me the truth about my life. Has my life just been a lie. I need to know why they kept this secret from me. "Why?" I ask my parents, both my biological and adopted parents. "Why what?" My "adopted" parents ask. "Why did you keep my biological family a secret, or tell me I'm adopted, or that you were still in touch with my biological parents since you adopted me as a baby?" I asked.

Stormie's POV:

Marybella was asking her adopted parents questions about why they kept her adoption a secret. I decided to step in. "It's my fault." I said. Marybella turned and looked at me. "But, why? Why didn't you want me to know? Was I just a mistake and you and your husband or my dad, just not love me?" She asked me, tears brimming her eyes. "Honey, the reason you were put up for adoption was because I didn't think I could handle twins. I loved you so much it was so hard to make the decision to put you up but I wanted you to have a better life than I thought I could provide at the time. I wanted you to know about us but I was scared you'd hate me and your father for putting you up for adoption. Even though it was primarily my decision to put you up. But, we gave you to Jane and Mitchell, because they were trying for a child but couldn't conceive, so I thought it was a perfect match, and they promised to update your father and I as you grew up because they understood the position I was in. But they also promised that they wouldn't tell you about the adoption until I was ready. So if you want someone to hate, then hate me." I finally said. I told her the truth. Then, she said the most unexpected thing, I ever thought I'd hear from her. "I don't hate you! I could never hate you. I don't blame you or my father. I understand. I'm glad you did what you did. I ended up with amazing parents that have supported me through my life and I'm glad I've finally meet my real family and I actually have siblings." She said. I was shocked but glad she understood. Then she and I hugged. Marybella then walked around giving everyone a hug from me to Mark, Riker, Rocky, Ross, Ryland, Rydel, her adopted dad, then finally her adopted mom.

Marybella's POV:

"Wait I have one last question." I said. "What is it?" Stormie or mom asked. "What's my full name? Since I'm guessing my first name is Raylynn. Which now makes since why you called me that." I said. She giggled and responded, "yes, that is why I called you Raylynn. And your full name is Raylynn Marie Ann Lynch." "Wow it's so pretty and I like how it starts with an R!" I said cheerfully. "Why was my name changed to Marybella Alice Carvalho? I mean I understand the last name, but why my first and middle?" I asked. "Well we wanted you to have a completely different life but if you want to, you can change your name back to your birth name and move in with the Lynch's." My "adopted" mom said and my "adopted" dad nodded at the idea. "Awww! You'd allow me to do that. You guys are seriously the best parents a girl could have. No offense!" I said turning from my "adoptive" parents to my "biological" parents. "No we understand." Stormie said. "Oh and we love that idea." Mark said and Stormie nodded. "OMG! Could my life get any better!" I said. I LOVE MY LIFE AT THE MOMENT!!!! I ALSO DON'T FEEL LIKE I'M A NOBODY OR A LOSER!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!
