Just Friends?

Chapter 46

"Uh yeah, I just found out too" Joseph replied shrugging his shoulders

"You're really he-" Bailey gasped seeing Matthew in the doorframe with a nurse and fainted

---

A few hours later,

Bailey woke up confused of why she was in a hospital room and Michael sat by her bedside

"Hey, I just had the craziest dream ever, Matthew was alive and your dad is his dad too" Bailey mentioned

"That wasn't a dream" Michael replied, obviously shocked by the news too

"Wha... what how?" Bailey asked, the tears in her eyes and confusion written all over her

"Matthew's mother and my father or well our father should I say had an affair behind her husband's and my mother's back, they were neighbors for crying out loud, my poor mother will be so heartbroken" Michael mentioned the hurt his father caused his mother was stronger at the moment than the shocking news his best friend was alive

"Where is Matthew now?" Bailey asked wanting to see her husband

"In the room next to us, he's confused too, six weeks ago he woke up in the hospital and people didn't believe him when he said who he was, they checked their system and said he can't be who he said who he is because he's deceased, but eventually they took his DNA and ran it trough the national system and it matched to Joseph, of course that was even more confusing since Matthew believed his dad was his dad, Jacob Clarke and not Joseph so they did more testing and found Sheila Clarke, his mother's DNA too in the system and then he realized what must've happened between them" Michael mentioned

"And then he wanted to see me?" Bailey asked

"Yes, it took six weeks to get the DNA results confirmed, that's why they only found you today and not sooner" Michael answered

"And then they must've called your dad too?" Bailey asked

"Yes, they called him today too, saying he has the right to know his son is alive" Michael sighed

---- Meanwhile,

Veronica waited in the family room for Michael and Bailey, assuming they're being reunited with their husband and brother right now

"Do I know you? Don't tell me you're my sister, I've had too many shocking things happen to me lately" Matthew who stepped into the family room mentioned, hoping to find Michael and Bailey there

"No, I'm Michael's fiance" Veronica mentioned 

"Shit I really did miss a lot I see" Matthew replied and noticed her baby bump "Also Michael's?" he asked

"Yes, and no it wasn't a one night stand" Veronica answered before he could ask the next question

"Well... How did you meet each other?" Matthew asked

"I'm general manager at your restaurant now, that is if I still have the job now you're not dead anymore" Veronica mentioned

"No way? Michael breaking his rule of dating blondes and his employee rule? Shit damn that's huge" Matthew gasped "Oh and yea I mean you can keep your job we'll figure something out" He assured her "Speaking of other halves, where's Bailey?" He asked

"I assumed she was in the room with you and Michael, but you're here" Veronica answered and rubbed her baby bump when the baby kicked "Those kicks get harder each time" she mentioned
