A/N: Thank you for Gamewizard for letting me borrow your name for Numbuh 10. For anyone else, read & review!
"Bye, Nigel, bye, Lizzie, it was nice to meet you all!" Numbuh 10, also known as Evageline 'Eva' Alison Roberts called as her long-lost cousin and his girlfriend were leaving after meeting them.
"Bye, Eva, it was great to meet you, hopefully we can do it again sometime soon!" Nigel waved to her as they got on the plane powered by hamsters.
"Bye, BFF!" Lizzie added.
Eva smiled, then went off back home as they day was nearly ending. Eva's time as Numbuh 10 was now over and she was going to go to her mother now. "Hey, Mom, I'm back."
"Oh, hello, sweetie," Mrs. Roberts's voice was heard in the kitchen as she washed some dishes. "Did you have fun meeting your cousin?"
"Yeah, it was great, I never thought I'd be doing this today!" Eva beamed. "Maybe next time, I could visit Nigel at his treehouse!"
"Probably, dear, would you please put away the clean dishes for me?" Mrs. Roberts asked.
"Okay, Mom." Eva smiled, not hostile towards her mother like certain other members of her fellow Kids Next Door operatives or even the decommissioned teenagers. Eva grabbed the stack of dishes she could carry and went to put them up in the cupboard where they belonged. "I can't believe Dad is Numbuh 1's mom's brother..." She then paused a moment as she realized something. "Say, Mom?"
"Yes, dear?" Mrs. Roberts replied as she slipped off her rubber gloves and would go to dry her hands.
"Who is my dad?" Eva then asked.
Mrs. Roberts nearly flinched. "I'm sorry, dear, what was that?"
Eva wondered why her mother reacted like that. "Who's my dad? You know... I must have a dad... It's always been me and you..."
"Well, yes, dear, but..." Mrs. Roberts tried to think of a distraction. "Oh, look, that Rainbow Monkeys program you like so much is on TV right now!"
"Mom, I'm serious," Eva wasn't going to fall for that. "Who is my father? I never met him and you never talk about him. Did something happen?"
Mrs. Roberts sighed. "Okay, dear, let's have a seat, shall we?"
Eva followed her mother to the kitchen table to sit down and talk about this. Mrs. Roberts offered some cookies and milk to talk about this over. Eva happily accepted and was very curious. She never thought about her dad until today really, she always assumed her father died, but since she found out that Nigel Uno's mother was her aunt due to her father, she kind of had to know, and it was now or never.
"So, Mom, where's Dad?" Eva asked.
"Eva, I have a confession," Mrs. Roberts looked into her daughter's emerald eyes. "I'm not your mother."
"What?" Eva's face paled.
"I'm not your mother, Eva," Mrs. Roberts repeated. "Well, biologically anyway... You were adopted by me."
"I'm adopted?" Eva never thought she would be told that. "So, you're not really my mom?"
"Sort of, because, well, you were an orphan," Mrs. Roberts continued. "My name really is Roberts, but yours isn't, it's Mazinsky."
"Mazinsky?" Eva repeated.
"Yes, dear, your real parents are John and Miranda Mazinsky," Mrs. Roberts explained. "According to your dossier anyway. I went to an orphanage with my now late husband because we found out that I could never have any children of my own, so we came to the orphanage and you were there as a baby. Nobody knew where you came from until computers became popular."
"Whoa..." Eva couldn't believe her ears. "So, is Nigel still my cousin?"
"Yes, actually," Mrs. Roberts replied. "Your biological father is Jennifer Uno's long-lost brother."
"Where are they?" Eva had to know. "Can I meet John and Miranda?"
"I'm afraid not, dear... They died a long time ago..."
"What?" Eva's voice cracked.
"But, they are survived, you have an older brother and two older sisters," Mrs. Roberts continued. "They all live in the place that was once a village called Megaville."
"Oh, I've heard of that place." Eva then calmed down a little.
"I can't tell you much of anything else, but you should talk with them yourself, Eva, I'm sorry to have kept this hidden from you all your life."
"Thank you for being honest with me..."
"Do you wish to call me Mrs. Roberts now?"
"No, you've been Mom to me for all ten years," Eva replied maturely. "I would like to meet my family though..."
"Okay, dear, I'll call your brother..." Mrs. Roberts gave a nod, then walked off.
"Thank you, Mom..." Eva sniffled with a tear rolling down her beauty marked cheek.
