Legit "Us"

I found it difficult to sleep after what happened. Frankly, I expected her to say "I love you too" or "I'm not interested" (which she couldn't) but now that she thanked me, I was in a dilemma, not sure which side she was on.

After one sleepless hour, I turned on the internet again and streamed some white noise music to help me to fall asleep.

After like one minute still struggling with sleeping, my phone woke me up with a message.

"Hey, I love you too. I have loved you since the beginning, but I was waiting for you to take the first step. Good night Davis"

From as far as I can remember, I have never been so happy as then. I was smiling and sighing, that was the most Joyful thing that happened to me so far.

Afterward, she came back online and We continued our conversations because we were all awake then.

I never asked her about her parents specifically so I tried that night because I felt like I didn't want to sleep and so did she.

"So how're your parents? " I asked

"Let's not talk about it now please"

"Oh, it's okay. You can tell me everything. If you want you know"

"Trust me, you don't want to know about it "

"Try me"

She wrote a long message telling me what was going on:

<<Twenty years ago, a mentally  disabled teen was raped by a stranger that she never knew. A girl struggled  until it was time to give birth. with unskilled midwives, she ended up dying while giving birth at the hospital.

Because of insufficient precautions, family, and health issues, That baby girl was born prematurely too. That's when one of the nurses decided to adopt the children and raise her as her own. That nurse was Penny Jackson, and the baby is Taylor Jackson, that's how I grew up in Jackson's family. >>

I wasn't moving or blinking, I was staring confused, and trying to process incomprehensible things.

There was this quiet period when none was saying anything but crying.

"so I'm not your son? Like you're not my biological mother?" I said with a very thick teardrop running down my cheek and a big cramp in my throat suffocating me.

"That's true son, we're not your biological parents' ' answered Dad because mom couldn't speak because she was crying hard.

"Are they alive?" I asked, crying too.

"yes they're alive" Dad answered

"Why didn't they come for me since they got jobs and improved their lives?"

"It was part of the agreement, not to traumatize you at your young age"

I was crying silently, only tears dripping off my cheeks, and mummy came and hugged me and we cried for so long. I noticed Cory and Britney peeking at their door, so I knew that they had been listening to everything.  I called them to come over. They hugged me and we both cried a lot.

Daddy put them back to sleep and we remained in the dining room.

"Okay, so what are my real names then?

"Davis Depp Jackson," she said, weeping.

A flash came to my mind when she said Jackson but I didn't care because I convinced myself that I know no Jacksons anywhere.

" Are my parents willing to see me?"

"a lot"

"When am I meeting them?"

"Right now!"

"Excuse me??"

Then in the kitchen came out a man and his wife and their daughter with my adopted Daddy!

That's when I realized that they were adoptive parents of Taylor!

"Look at you son, you've grown up so fast," said mummy Hugging me and crying out loud and whispering "I'm so sorry son" and I was like "It's okay mum, I understand," I said that smiling and crying at the same time.

Then Daddy came and hugged me silently. I could see that he was fighting against the tears but he gave up and finally tears flowed down his eyes.

Their daughter, who was my biological sister Dinah, was like 6 years old, the same as Britney.

She came and hugged me crying too. That's when I realized that she knew all about it.  I picked her up and kissed her on the forehead.

It was a tearful reunion, everyone was crying and smiling at the same time, it was marvelous.

And then my Biological mother said," it was a coincidence visiting us while we were about to come over, but we managed to get here anyways."

My adoptive mother had no idea that I was at Taylor's house but she knew that we were dating. She knew the history of the origin of Taylor but since she wasn't my blood sister, she didn't involve in our Relationship.

It was getting dark and that's when my Daddy Jackson said that they want to go because Taylor was home alone.

"my son, let's get home. You'll prepare for Wednesday, you will be joining us home to live with your parents." Said, dad

"Don't worry about University, we spoke to the principal about that, and we agreed that they would give you another week of preparation. We did that at Taylor's University too" said mummy.

Then they kissed me on the forehead and went to the car.

After they left, dad was locking the door and my adopted mother said "so that's it. How do you feel?"

I didn't say anything, just hugged her and told her that I love her so much.

She said " Aight, Goodnight son,"

And I said "Goodnight too"
