Carter's POV
I've been thinking a lot about mine and twin's matching birthmark. Does it mean something? I decided to find out. I was going to take the twins to have a DNA test. I asked Cam and he was ok with it.
I got up early and got the kids ready. They kept asking where we're going, but I didn't say anything. I put them in the car and drove to the hospital. I checked us in and we waited a while.
"Carter Reynolds, Brayden Dallas, and Addison Dallas?" the nurse called.
We followed her into the room and sat down.
"The doctor will be in in a minute." she said and left.
The twins started asking questions, so I finally spoke.
"I'm trying to see if we're related." I said.
The twins looked confused, but was satisfied with the answer. 5 minutes later, a middle aged woman came in.
"Hello. I'm Dr. Cathy." she said, shaking my hand.
"So, why are we here today?" she asked.
"I would like to get a DNA test for the 3 of us. My best friend adopted them a year ago and I've noticed we have the same birthmark on our backs. I wanted to know if it meant something." I said.
"Ok. Well, we'll have to draw some blood and run a few other tests." she said.
Addy and Brady weren't scared of needles, so that made things easier. They drew our blood, made us pee in a cup, and swabbed our cheeks.
"Ok, it will take about 2 hours for the result to come back. You can come back if you want." Dr. Cathy said.
I nodded and took the kids to Jack in the Box for lunch.
"Uncle Carter?" Brady asked.
"Yes?"
"What happens if the doctor says yes?" he said, meaning if we are related.
"Well, then that just means we are related." I said.
We kept eating and went back to the hospital. We waited for about a half hour and the nurse called us back in the room.
"Well, the test results came back and I was a little surprised because of their birth parents history."
"Well?" I said.
"You three, are siblings." she said.
WHAT?!!?
"But their parents passed in a car crash." I said, covering the twins' ears.
"Yes. But I believe you should speak to your parents. There might be something you don't know."
I was so confused. I didn't know what to do. I thanked the Doctor and left. I drove the twins home and ran up to my room. I slammed and locked the door. I called my mom.
Phone Convo
M-Hello?
C-Hi mom.
M-Hey sweetie. How are you?
C- I need to ask you something and you have to promise to tell the truth.
M- Of course Carter.
C- *sighs* Am I adopted?
M- *pauses*
C-Mom, I took the twins to get a DNA test and they said they're my brother and sister.
M-Oh Carter. I never wanted you to find out.
C- Find out what?!
M- Yes, you are adopted. You're real parents were only 14 when you were born and they have you up. Your father and I adopted you when you were 1. You're real name is Carter McCoy Torres.
C-*starts crying* Mom why didn't you tell me?!
M- I don't know. I'm sorry Carter. I should have told you sooner.
C- I'll call you later. I need a minute.
End of Convo
This is too much to take in one day. My real parents put me up for adoption, then I guess had Addy and Brady years later, then the car crash.
I was crying, but I went downstairs.
Everyone was on the couch.
"Carter, why are crying?" Matt asked.
"I'm adopted. I have the same parents as them, but they were 14 when I was born, so they gave me up. My mom adopted me when I was 1 and never told me." I said.
Everyone looked shocked.
"Aw man I'm sorry bro." Cam said.
"So Uncle Carter is really our brother?" Addy asked.
I nodded and smiled. She hugged my leg and Brady did too.
"You guys can just call me Carter now." I said.
They giggled and everyone said Aww.
For the rest of the day, I just laid in my bed and thought. I was able to take it all in.
