Stephanie's P.O.V:

"Jase shut up!" We yell while watching A Haunted House 2. He been talking about ghost since the movie been on.

"Stephanie!" My dad yells from the front door.

"In the movie room!" I yell back. He walked in, and his eyes got big.

"Stephanie you never brought this many people home before." He says in shock.

"Yea. That's because my only friend was Jewel, until I met them." I say pointing to Kyron, Jase, Travis, and Tierra. Jewel always stayed over at my house just for fun. Jase got up and fell over my legs. He jumped up and ran to my daddy.

"How you doing sir? My name is Jase, and I'm your new son." He says while giving my dad a hug. My daddy looked at him and pushed him off.

"The hell wrong with you little boy? Tryna take my wallet out my back pocket!?" My daddy asks while feeling his back pocket.

"N-No sir. I just wanted you t-to like me, s-so you don't k-kick me out." Jase stutters while scratching the back of his neck. We were in tears laughing at this fool.

"Boy I ain't gone do nothing to you. Sit down somewhere." My daddy said. Jase walked back to his seat with his head down.

"Now who are y'all?" My daddy asks.

"Hey man, I'm Kyron." Kyron says while shaking my dad's hand.

"Hay? Hay is for horses. It's good evening, goodmorning, good afternoon, or wassup. You got that?" My daddy asks.

"Yes sir." Kyron says.

"Boy don't call me no sir, I ain't old. Call me Pop."My dad says. I was holding my stomach laughing at my daddy.

"Aight Pop." Kyron says.

"Good evening Pop. My name is Travis." Travis says.

"No! He cheated! He used our lessons to know exactly what to say!" Jase yells.

"Boy shut up. How y'all deal with him all day?" My daddy asks. He shut up and started mumbling.

"Hi, My name is Tierra." Tierra says. My daddy looked at her and froze.

"Tierra who? What's your momma name?" My daddy asks.

"Ummmm, Tiffany. Tiffany Powell." Tierra says.

"Would your grandmother happen to be Daisy Powell" He asked. She nodded her head yes. Before she could say anything else, my daddy ran to her and hugged.

"What the?" Tierra says. We all looked at each other and started talking.

"Y'all be quiet so I can explain." My daddy says. We got quiet, and my dad started speaking.

"18 years ago, I met Tiffany, Tierra's mom. After one year of dating her, we planned to have a baby." He explains.

"Oh lord." Jase says.

"She became pregnant, but I cheated on her with Linda, Jewel's mom. When she turned three months, she found out, and she ran away from me and never called, sent a letter, or emailed me." He continues.

"So what you're saying is that you are my father?" Tierra asks. My dad nods his head yes.

"Wait. When did you cheat?" Jewel asks.

"About 17 years ago." My dad says. Jewel scrunches up her face.

"I'm 16." She says.

"I know that because I'm your father too. Your mom decided that I should track Tierra down and hope for the best, that's why she raised you with another man. I didn't need you to grow up in a broken home at such a young age. Your mom agreed to let you grow up with Stephanie so you wouldn't be lonely. I brought you that Challenger and let your step dad present it as if he did. I have been doing that to you your whole life." My dad states. Jewel nodded in understanding, tears falling from her face.

"Well then why everytime I asked my mother who my father was, she changed the subject? She told me that she was able to provide for me by saving since I was born." Tierra explains.

"Saving since you were born? I finally found your mother again when you were 9, and started sending her money for you. Every time I said I was about to come visit, she'll threaten to pack y'all up and leave. She started to send pictures of you every year on your birthday, but stopped when you made 14. I send her $10,000 a month just for you. That little Camaro you got out there, I basically brought that." He explains. Tierra was lost for words, and Jewel was still crying.

"This is too much." I say in shock.

"So dad, why did you never tell me I had two sisters?" I asked.

"Stephanie I always told you that you had two sisters. Remember when we used to always go to the park, and I would always say "Stephanie you are not the only one?" He asks.

*Flashback*
"Push me daddy!" I say jumping up and down. He got up, put me on the swing, and started pushing me.
"Faster, Faster!" I yelled.
"Stephanie I have to save my energy for other things too. You know, you are not the only one." My daddy says.
"Huh?" I replied confused.
"You'll find out when the time is right baby girl." He kissed my forehead and continued to push me.
*Flashback Over*

I came back to reality after that flashback with tears forming in my eyes.

"So that's what that meant." I say. My dad nodded, and I started to get up.

"Wait, you said found my mom AGAIN. Did you find her before?" Tierra asked.

"Yea, there's more to the story." My dad said.

"More! She's heard enough pop! Look at them!" Travis yells. I think about how he has become so protective of me. I wonder if he likes me.

"It's better for them to listen now." My daddy said. He then takes a deep breath.

"A year after Tiffany left me, I went to a club, and she was there. She was staring at me, so I walked towards her. When I was just two inches away from her, she grabbed my face and started kissing me, and believe me, I missed her. I started kissing her back, and you know what happened after that." He says.

"Player player." Jase says.

"Shut the hell up Jase." Travis says.

"That's where you come in Stephanie." My dad says while looking at the wall.

"After that one night stand, three months later, Tiffany called me and told me she was three months pregnant. I was shocked, but I went to every appointment that she allowed me to come to. She never brought Tierra to the appointments, but she would bring about five different photos of her each time. I begged and pleaded every time, but I was always threatened by her leaving. So, I stopped asking and was grateful that she let me be there for those moments that I had missed with Tierra. When you came out, you looked exactly like Tierra, so I automatically knew you were mine. Once you were cleaned up, your mom held you and fell asleep. I took you out of her arms, and brought you home with me. You were able to come home, but she wasn't due to complications, so the doctor didn't find anything wrong with me taking you home. Yet, once Tiffany had found out what I done, she left. Instead of trying to bargain with me or get you back, she left without a trace. That's why it took me so long to find you a third time." My dad explains.

"So Tierra's mom is my mom." I said refusing to let my tears fall. My dad nods his head. I walked to Jewel and Tierra and hugged them like my life depended on it.

"Jewel stop crying. At least he told us." I say. She stopped crying and hugged us back.

"We are sisters for life." I say. Travis, Kyron, Jase, and my daddy came around us and gulfed us in. "One big happy family." I thought.

I have just found this book again at the fine age of 20😂. I started this book at 15, so I'm going to fix any punctuation errors and just publish it as is. It's kind of good for a 15 year old if you ask me🤷🏾‍♀️.
