Hey all,

I wasn't going to do another story till after Christmas but I did just have another big brainstorm after the recent episode, this is what I think would of happened if Cal told Ethan about their birth mother when they were in the pub. May only be a short story.

Enjoy!

Cal felt a sense of relief when Shelle, the care assistant said that his birth mother had two sons. He was glad Ethan was still his brother. Cal sat in the pub with tears down his face as Ethan walked in to meet him.

"Hey, ah thank you. How was your day?" Ethan asked as he accepted his drink. Cal looked at him.

"Not the best." Cal looked down.

"Last minute Christmas shopping for you?" Ethan smirked, Cal continued to frown.

"Ethan." Cal couldn't talk without feeling the need to cry. Ethan picked up on this.

"You all right?" Ethan's smile went. Cal didn't answer so Ethan guessed. "Matilda? Gets me as well." Ethan whispered as he stroked his brothers shoulder in comfort. "Here's to her, Caleb." Ethan lifted his glass. Cal almost gave up talking but he had to get it out.

"Ethan, come with me." Cal downed his drink then went to leave the pub, Ethan did the same and followed Cal outside.

"What's wrong?" Ethan shuddered at the cold air. Cal didn't answer. "Cal you haven't been yourself late-" Ethan was cut off by Cal's outburst.

"We're adopted Ethan." Cal said with his eyes shut, Ethan didn't respond he just showed a confused reaction. "We're adopted." Cal repeated. Ethan didn't say anything, he turned away from Cal with his mouth open in shock.

"W-w-what do you mean?" Ethan stuttered. "So we're not...?" Ethan dreaded this answer.

"Oh no! We are still brothers but our mum wasn't our real mum, this other woman is. I met her, Charlie helped me find her." Cal explained. Ethan was still gobsmacked.

"You met her without telling me? Why?" Ethan wasn't sure what emotion he was feeling.

"Because I wanted to be sure. I wanted all the answers before telling you. She's ill, Ethan" Cal sighed. Ethan blankly stared at him. "Come on Ethan, say something."

"I don't know whether to hit you or thank you." Ethan frowned, Cal looked at him, trying not to smirk because of the situation. "Where does she live?" Ethan whispered.

"What?" Cal asked.

"Where does...our mother live?" Ethan felt weird saying it. Cal pulled out an address and gave to Ethan. He read it then walked away.

"Where are you going?" Cal followed Ethan and stood in front of him.

"Where do you think? I'm going to meet her. I want answers myself and she probably needs us!" Ethan suddenly felt anger. He pushed pass Cal but Cal jumped back in front of him.

"You can't." Cal restrained Ethan by the shoulders.

"Why not?" Ethan got more angered.

"Because...because...because..." Cal couldn't get the words out of his mouth. Ethan grew impatient.

"Because of what, Cal?!" Ethan almost shouted.

"Because she has HUNTINGTON'S!" Cal panted after he yelled. Ethan stood shocked.

"Wh-what?" Ethan stuttered.

"Our mum has Huntington's disease, which means either me or you will have it." Cal sighed. Ethan scoffed.

"Another thing you hid from me." Ethan walked off. Cal had no option but to follow him.

Just a quick chapter to get started. I'll hopefully update tomorrow. See you then! : )
