Chloe's POV

Lucas came back after his shower and sat with me and ate his food, all of it, boy can eat. We were watching Loki, the third episode and it had just finished when he turned to me and took my hand, that's when I knew he was ready to talk and my heart jumped and I felt nervous.

"Clo, do you know anything about your birth parents?” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I stared at him and could see the want in his eyes, the hopefulness that I do, I put my head down "I only know their names, how they died, and I was born, nothing more” I shook my head and peered up to him and he was looking at me, sadness in his eyes "They got into a car accident when my mother was 9 months pregnant with me, my father got out of the car and they said he was attacked by something that came out of the woods, as if maybe it was what he avoided hitting and caused the wreck. My mother was weak and went into labor when the police got there and they rushed her to the hospital where she died after giving birth to me. Their names were" he cut me off "Their names were Sarah and John Monroe" he looked down and away from me, almost as if he was about to cry "Yes, how... how did you know that?" I was staring at him and he looked back to my with tears filling his eyes "I've heard so many stories about them over the years, the tragedy behind losing them, John was my father's best friend, they grew up together their entire lives. he and his wife had gone away to have their baby in a cabin now to far from here, they were going to have a natural birth and then spend the first month of their daughter's life bonding before coming back home to introduce her to everyone” I was in shock and just staring at him with tears rolling down my face quietly "They had an accident and when my father found Sarah she had passed during childbirth and there was no speak of their daughter, no one knew what had happened to her or if she was even alive. She has to be you.” He was looking at me and pulled me to him, wiping my tears away and held me so tightly. "So I was supposed to grow up here? With you and your sister and your family? I don't understand, did they have no other family?" "Their family was us, your mom had no one else besides a sister but she passed a few years before the accident and your father's parents passed a out 12 years back, some say from broken hearts, and he was an only child. I am so sorry Clo, I have to go, we need to go, I umm we need to speak with my parents” "Will they still let me stay?" "More now than even before, you were always supposed to be with us, you have always belonged here and now you are, my dad will be so happy we found you, he looked for years but never found anything and assumed you had passed during birth with your mother. The people that adopted you, how?" "My mom worked there, said when the woman came in she was in bad shape but kept holding her hand, begging her to keep me safe and so my when she passed my mom went through the hospital to adopt me secretly incase they had been in danger, my dad and her brought me home when I was 6 days old and I was with them ever since, they loved me and took care of me and never treated me as if I wasn't truly theirs, I was so lucky to have had them.”

We got up and went downstairs to the first floor and walked behind the stairs to a series of doors. The one directly behind the stairs I came to find out was his father's office, Lucas knocked and opened the door, I hesitated because I was still yet to meet his father even though I met his mother and she was wonderful, as I walked inside and his father looked up from his desk he made eye contact with me and sat there, dumbfounded, like seeing a ghost. "Sarah?" then he shook his head and apologized "I'm so sorry, I thought, I'm sorry. Hello, I'm Micheal, Lucas and Austen's father” "Chloe, it's wonderful to meet you" I nodded my head to him he was still staring at me with curiosity in his eyes when Lucas spoke "Father, Chloe was the daughter of Sarah and John, she was adopted by the woman that helped deliver her when Sarah begged her to keep her safe before she passed" Lucas's dad couldn't take his eyes off of me when it looked as if his eyes completely glossed over before going back to normal “Callie what's with the people here and their eyes changing so much, do they all have crazy people in their head like what you did to my eyes?" "Pretty much’ She shrugged at me.

"Chloe, I would really love to do some blood work with the doctor on you to make sure you are their child, if you would allow this, not that I am doubting because when you walked in I swore I was looking at your mother, except you have your father's eyes and hair. I don't want to be intrusive but it's always good to check and be positive. Now this won't change your status of living here in this home, you are family no matter what now. How would you feel about this?" I blinked and was shocked and couldn't seem to find words when Lucas chimed in "Dad I had blood work done on her when she first got here, Anabel will still have sample, with Chloe's permission we can use that sample to check” They both looked to me and I nodded in approval and then his eyes glossed over again and back, he smiled brightly at me and came around to hug me. "Your father was my beta.. best friend from childhood, there was no one in this world I ever trusted more and having you here feels like having a piece of him back in our lives. How lucky we are to have you here with us. Lucas you better take the best care of her that you can, you hear me" Lucas nodded with a giant smile upon his face and took my hand "Nothing would make me happier father" His father looked between the 2 of us and smiled "Okay, off you go, I have work that needs to be done, and Chloe, my door is always open to you." With that, Lucas and I headed back to my room.
