Aurora said nothing,she was so lost staring at him. This is the first time she would be seeing him after birth,she was unaware of when tears slipped out of her eyes.
"Ma'am....Are you okay?" Freddie's said,shocked by her sudden tears.
"I'm fine...I think I might have missed my way here,sorry for bothering you" She turned and quickly walked away.
"Why does her face look familiar?" Freddie wondered as he close the door.

"Can I come in?" Mona suddenly asked from outside.
"Sure mum...." Reed smiled.
Mona entered with a tray of cookies with milkshakes and dropped it on the table before facing her.
"Are you leaving already?" She asked.
"Yes mum...Our paper is starting quite early today!" Carly smiled
"But you haven't had anything,I won't let you leave without eating..." Mona cut in,pulling her to seat in front of the tray.
"But mum....
"No but,just take a look at how skinny you are,I don't want other kid to bully you in school" Mona said.
"This is how I've always look,eating like a wolf won't change anything" Carly chuckled.
"Don't say that,who knows? Things might change if you stop skipping meals---
"Fine fine!" She take a bit from the cookies and Mona smiled.
"I can't believe you still remember how much I love milkshakes.."
"Of course! You're my daughter after all,I can't trade it for anything when I was young" Mona smiled stroking her hair.

Joan came down for breakfast and met Carl eating alone.
"My baddie!" She called and Carl looked up.
"Trouble maker" he said casually, not like his usual self.
"Are you okay?" Joan asked concernedly.
"Why do you care?" Carl replied without looking up.
"Why won't I? You're my twin brother_" She grinned.
"Since when did you consider me as your brother? Is this really you?" Carl chuckled.
"Are you going to tell me or not?" Joan rolled her eyes.
"I got rejected by my first love without even confessing in a proper way..."
"Who? Lavender?" Her eyes widened.
Carl nodded.
"Wait....don't tell me you really love her?"
"Have I ever talk about loving any girl with you?"
"Awwn, she's so lucky! Too bad she didn't choose you!" Joan laughed.
"I shouldn't have told you" Carl got up and hit her head before running upstairs.
"Ouch! Come back here!" Joan rub the spot.
"Who could have thought the pervert will got trapped in love" Joan chuckled and continue eating.

"I'm not here to disturb you of force you to forgive me..I'm surely gonna wait,whenever it's might take..."

"Babe....who's that?" Carly asked from inside.
"No one...." Reed smiled and close the door,Aurora eyes caught a glimpse of Carly as he did.
"His girlfriend?" She smiled and sighed again before leaving the place.

Lucas entered Aurora's car and she almost flinched.
"Gosh! You started me!" She sighed out.
"And you seemed really restless to know who your daughter is" Lucas smirked.
"Please Lucas! I already give you the money right? Can't you tell me where she is? Please....." Aurora pleaded.
"Fine Fine! Here" He hand her the paper and Aurora's eyes widened.
"Thank you so much!" She squealed excitedly.
"How's it with Freddie? Did you talk to him? Did he believe you?" Lucas smirked.
"I didn't get the chance to talk to him..."
"Why? You didn't go?"
"I could bring myself to do it,I'm sure he'll be mad like Reed! He's still not talking to me..." Aurora said sadly.
"Seems the both are compatible! Good for you,the girl is a bit timid so she might forgive you easily..." Lucas said.
"Really?" Aurora smiled.
Lucas nodded.
"I should go to her now... I can't wait any longer..." She said expecting him to get down.
"I didn't bring my car...Drop me off first" He said and rest his head on the seat. Aurora sighed but said nothing,she drove him home and went straight to the address next.
Less than thirty minutes she got to the front of the house and got down from her car,she walk to the front door and gently placed a knock on it.
The door opened almost immediately,revealing a girl, Aurora's smile fell Immediately.
"How may I help you ma'am?" The girl asked and Aurora's eyes widened.
"You're....
She stepped back in shock,she wiped her face to make sure she isn't seeing wrongly.
"Who are you?" The girl spoke up again.
