Michael's POV

I didn't get much sleep last night not only because I felt guilty for what's happened, but because I was so worried something might happen while I was asleep. I didn't actually see Leanne's arm because she'd already bandaged it up, but from the amount of blood I saw on the towel, it looked really bad and I constantly kept going upstairs to check on her and the twins throughout the night and when I finally did start to fall asleep, I hear Annabelle and Ryan crying.

I go upstairs to check on them and Leanne is already in the room with them. "Hi" I mumble and she turns an smiles slightly at me through pursed lips then turns back to the twins and picks up Ryan and I walk over and take Annabelle. "How are you feeling?" I ask, trying to break the silence.

"I think their just ready for their bottles" she says and turns to leave the room and I follow behind her.

We both go into the living room to feed them and I can't help, but stare at the bandage on Leanne's wrist, which has little patches of blood on it.

"We need to go and get that checked out after we're done feeding these two"

"It's fine" she mumbles "So why not just go anyway for them to check it out just incase" I suggest. "It's fine. I just need to change the bandage and clean it out again and it'll clear up" she shrugs. "But it could be infected it or..."

"Well it's not" she cuts me off. "I do know the signs of infection my dad was a doctor... Well I thought he was" she mumbles that last part. "It turned out he was just a baby snatcher pretending to be a doctor"

"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I thought I doing the right thing and..."

"How is lying to me doing the right thing?" She cuts me off. "It's not, but you've been through so much already and when I found out I was scared of what it would do to you if you knew the truth. I know I should have just told you right from the start, but I was scared and the longer I left it the harder it got and I didn't wanna lie to you but..."

"What do you mean the longer you left it? How long have you known?" She frowns confused. "After your grandma died. I went to get some of her stuff from the nursing home and she'd wrote you a letter explaining everything and about Carley"

"You've known for over a year!?" She frowns and I nod. "I wasn't planning on keeping it a secret that long. I just wanted to make sure that it was true before telling you and when the DNA test proved your grandma was telling the truth I wanted to tell you but..."

"What DNA? I never took any test" she frowns confused and I don't say anything for a moment.

"I took a swab of your DNA while you were asleep then me and Randy came here and um... I um.. I got Mary's DNA" I mumble

"Randy knew about this?" She asks and I nod. "Does everybody?" She croaks and looks like she about to break down and I shake my head. "Just me and Randy"

"Where is it?"

"Where's What?" I ask confused. "The letter my grandma wrote me and the DNA thing?"

"I um..  I burned it" I mumble and she doesn't say anything for a moment.

"So you've known for over a year. Got DNA off me while I was sleeping and tested it with a dead person, Burned the letter my grandma wrote me and not only did you lie and hide this all from me, but you let me name our children after two people who kidnapped a new born baby from her mother?... Do you know how sick that is?"

"I know it sounds bad, but..."

"Sounds bad? It's fucked up is what it is!? How could you hide this from me?" She frowns and Ryan starts crying. "I need to go to the store" she says getting up from the sofa with Ryan.

"Can't we just talk about this first" I sigh "I'm sure whatever you need can wait awhile"

"I need some more diapers and stuff. I didn't bring much with me" she shrugs. "Fine, but then can we just talk about this properly?" I ask and she doesn't say anything for a moment.

"And how can I trust your not gonna lie to me again?" She mumbles. "I swear on Ryan and Annabelle's lives I will tell you everything and I won't lie or keep anything back I swear"

"I'll just go get dressed" she mumbles. "I'll come to the store with you" I say getting up and she shrugs "whatever. Do want you want. Your clothes are in the dryer" she mumbles and walks out of the room.

Carley's POV

"Are you still looking at that camera?" David asks walking into the kitchen. "She's not gonna go there is she?"

"She might" I shrug "Of course she won't. After what she just found out yesterday, she's not just gonna get up the next day and go to work like normal is she?"

"I just wish I could talk to her and explain"

"We should have done that as soon as we found out where she was. Your the one that wanted us to wait" he reminds me. "I know, but only so I could get to know her a little first"

"And what about me? She's my daughter too you know? But instead I've just seen little recording and photo's on your phone from some stupid camera you put in her office. I knew I shouldn't have listened to you. If we'd have just done things they way I wanted to then non of this would have happened"

"It wasn't my fault Michael saw me there and he was the one who tried to get rid of me once he found out I was there and if it wasn't for him then..."

"Of course he was gonna find out you were there. He owns the fucking place!" He snaps. "I'm sorry. I don't know how many times I have to say it I'm sorry" I croak, then start crying again and he wraps his arms around me. "It's all my fault" I sob.

"It's not your all fault" he sighs "I should have put my foot down and made you do things my way"

"And now we've lost her again. This time for good" I sob. "We don't know that for sure" he shakes my head. "Of course we have! She ran away as soon as she found out and now she'll have Michael in her ear turning her against us and..."

"We don't know what Michael's saying to her and even if he is trying to turn her against us, she knows the truth now and we know who she is too. We have a photo of her and everything. We might not have Sofia here with us where she belongs. But we found her and we'll find her again" he says trying to reasure me.

"You found Sofia!?" We hear a shocked voice and turn and see Kayde standing at the kitchen door. "Um.. we've kinda found her but..."

"What do you mean? It could be her or..."

"It's definitely Sofia" I cut him off and he doesn't say anything for a moment and tries to take in the news. "W-when can we meet her. Is she coming here or are we going to..."

"It's not that easy" David cuts him off. "What do you mean? You said you found her..... S-she's still alive right?" he asks nervously. "She's alive but.."

"But what? Why can't we see her?" He cuts me off "It's complicated" David sighs heavily. "Come and take a seat and your mother and I will explain everything that's been going on" he says, montionng Kayde to sit at the table and he nods confused and does as he's told and we sit down and tell him everything.

Michael's POV 

After telling Leanne everything that's happened and how Carley found her, she doesn't say anything and just continues crying just like she has done the whole time I've been talking.

"Please say something" I say softly she shrugs. "What is there for me to say? Everybody I've ever met has lied to me and used me for one thing or another..."

"That's not..."

"Name one person I've loved that hasn't lied to me or used me?" She cuts me off. "My so-called 'parents' stole me from a hostpital and pretended I was theirs because they couldn't have kids of their own. My husband lied to and used me for sex and..."

"I never used you for..."

"You gave my aunt money so you could fuck me!" She frowns "I wasn't..."

"And Mary's another one I loved who lied and used me and so did my grandma... even Carley lied to me. She supposedly spent 18 years looking for me and the first thing she does when she finds me is lie to me and pretend to be someone else to get close to me!" She frowns "The only two people that haven't lied to me yet is Ryan an Annabelle, but that's only because they can't speak. Is that all I'm here for? Just to be lied to and used and abused by people?"

"Of course not! and I didn't lie to hurt you. I was trying to do what I thought was right and I didn't want you to get hurt"

"And what about what I want or how I feel? Clearly none of you give a fuck about what's best for me or how I feel because if you did then you all wouldn't have lied to me!"

"I know what I did in the past and I've apologised over and over for that and I'm so sorry for not telling you about Carley, but I swear. I truly thought I was doing the right thing"

"I didn't have to come here you know" she says and I look at her confused. "I could have left town or even the country of I'd wanted to. It's not like I don't have the money and I still could. I could just take the twins and leave and you'd never see any of us again... Do you know why I didn't do that? Because I'm not that spiteful to take a baby away from it's parents" she frowns then starts crying again.

"I don't think Carley lied to you to hurt you. Just like I didn't" I say softly and she doesn't say anything and Annabelle start getting upset and I pick her up to comfort her.

"Maybe would should start getting ready to go home. The twins might feel more settled there" I suggest and she shakes her head. "I don't want to" she mutters under her breath and I don't say anything for a moment because I'm to afraid to ask

"Are you leaving me?" I ask shakily and she shakes her head, but doesn't say anything and I sigh slightly in relief she said no, but I'm still unsure what she wants.

"So what do you want me to do? Do you want me to leave or stay here you?" I ask and she shrugs "It's up to you, but I'm staying here"

"Ok, well I'll call Randy and ask him to bring us some stuff for the twins and some of our clothes and..."

"I don't wanna see Randy" she cuts me off "Janet?" I ask and she shrugs. "If you want, but tell her not to forget Bugsy" she says then goes upstairs to her room.

Leanne's POV

I get upstairs and as soon as I close the bedroom door, I break down and start crying again. Yesterday I was so confused and hurt and angry about what I'd heard and apart of me kept telling myself that this wasn't happening and none of this is real, but after hearing every detail of what happened not only made it more real, but now I'm more confused and scared than ever and I don't know who I can trust anymore or if I even can trust anybody. If the two people who raised me and who I loved and trusted more than anything could lie to me and do these things then there's nothing stopping anybody else from doing it to me either.

Michael's POV

"How's she doing?" Janet asks handing me the stuff I asked her to bring along with Bugsy who has managed to cheer the twins up, just by him walking over to them.

"She's barley speaking to me. Not that I blame her though"

"But did you explain why you didn't tell her"

"Of course, but that doesn't changed the fact that I lied and kept this from her and she's not just hurt by me. It's everybody she loved. I don't think she even knows how she feels right now. When we were talking earlier she started listed the people she loved who lied an used her and she said Mary's name"

"She most likey did love her"

"How could she?" I frown confused. "Well. Regardless of what Mary did to her. She was still around her, her whole life and for a long time as far as Leanne was aware Mary was her only family"

"I guess" I mumble "is it ok if I go talk to her?" She ask and I shrug. "You can try, but when I went up earlier to see if she was hungry she locked the door and didn't say anything.

After trying and failing Janet comes back downstairs. "I thinks she just wants some alone time" she smiles at me through pursed lips.

After Janet left. It was just me and the kids and the rest if the day Leanne stayed in her room and didn't want to talk.

*

It's getting late and I'm putting twins to bed and Leanne finally comes out of the room.

"I was just about to read their bedtime story if you wanna join us? They like it better when we read the story together" I ask and she nods and we lay next to them on the bed. "Should I start?" I ask and she nods.

"I love you closer than your shadow. I love you further than the sun"

"I love you quicker than a minute. I love you longer than an hour"

"I love you like a honey bee loves buzzing round the flower"

"I love you when your quiet and I love you when your loud"

"I love you all around the world. I love you through and through"

"And when it seems impossible. I love you more. I do"

After finishing the story. The twins fall asleep and we gently put them in the crib so they don't wake. "I'm gonna go to bed too" Leanne mumbles as we leave the room and I nod. "I'll see you in the morning then" I smile slightly at her through pursed lips and she goes into the bedroom and I head downstairs to the sofa, but a few minutes later Leanne comes downstairs.

"It's gets kinda cold down here at night. You can come upstairs if you want" she mutters and I nod and follow her upstairs.

We get into bed and switch off the lights and Leanne doesn't say anything, but wraps her arms tightly around me and I pull her closer to me and she falls asleep in my arms.
