Finally I got the entire story of my parentage, I've known for years but only little pieces. But now I know it all and suddenly it all makes sense why my mom is so depressed all the time and dad spends so long down at the docks. The only person who really talks to me is my big brother Shawn he's like 16 years older than me and he was around when it happened.
It's such a weird story in short my real mom is someone called Marlo and at birth I was swapped with my moms baby by Stefano DiMera. My parents didn't know I wasn't theirs. And even if my best friend Isaac had grown up in the right family Bo Brady still isn't his father. Oh now I'm getting a headache Zac's real dad is John Black. Oh why can't I live a normal life is that too much to ask?
I think my life's kinda weird and when I told Shawn he told me about how his friend Phillip was born in the wrong womb. Well I cry for him but he has the right family I don't. Even my real mom is dead and that seriously is not cool, as far as I know I don't have a real father.
Sure mom and dad were great especially dad. He taught me how to fish and to sail and mom was the best. Shawn was more like a best friend, he's left home now and is married to Belle Black, and they got a kid called Eric after Belle's brother who died.
Belles my half sister so it's really weird that my brothers married to my sister, I used to get picked on at school because of everything that happened but I still got Zac he's the real Jon Thomas Brady, and my best friend.
When my Great Gran died I was really sad but Shawn told me I gotta be strong for mom and I try to be but I'm only twelve. Sometimes it's good mom and dad are back to the way Shawn says they used to be and Belle, Shawn and Eric come over for dinner and I'm happy but on the bad days mom gets these headaches and I go upstairs and just sit on my bed and stare at the wall with my heights on it mom used to measure me every month, now she doesn't cuz she never feels well and dad just stays down at the Fancy Face II restoring it not that it needs restoring anymore it practically shines.
When I was 9 there was talk of me and Zac going to our proper families, but mom and dad and Lexie and Abe didn't want to let us go because they said they loved us. I felt good when they said that it made me feel wanted I blamed myself for what had happened to this family, when mom found out I wasn't hers she couldn't take anymore and she crumbled it had been bad enough when she discovered the baby wouldn't even have been Bo's child, I was born with FAS and she'd just escaped from a French castle she just broke down, enough was enough.
Sometimes when Belle and Shawn came over I'd see Shawn looking around and I'd know what he was thinking he was remembering all the happy times when I was still little and mom and dad had just got re-married and the house was happy, and I'd catch Doug, Julie, Marlena and lots of other people looking at me with pity.
But I loved mom and dad more than anything, from what I heard Shawn's life hadn't been easy and I hoped and wished and prayed that one day my parents would snap out of this funk and love me again.
Pipe dreams rarely come true, anyone in Salem can tell you that.
