a/n- for clarification, ignore the epilouge on Danny's sister, Pearl Harbor because i couldn't change it to fit this story.
Ann was twelve and she lived with her mother and father next door to her Aunt Evelyn, Uncle Rafe, and her cousins Danny jr and Evelyn jr. Things were changing. Ann always knew her family was different. She knew this because Aunt Evelyn and her mother always cried when Danny jr was around and Danny was a jr. so where did his name come from? Didn't he have to be named after someone? Her mom allegedly had a brother but what happened to him, if he were still alive wouldn't Ann know about him? And another thing, why was there a grave stone in the back of Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Rafe's yard?All she knew was her family was different and she had sat around with her curiosity enough and wanted answers.
Ann awoke early that morning to the sound of a door bell ringing, why wasn't her parents answering it? Still in her pj's, Ann tromped down the stairs to see who it could be at such an un-godly hour. It was Danny jr, what the hell was he doing here at this hour, he always slept in late. " Ann come quick" said Danny jr before running the other direction to his house. " Teenagers" muttered Ann to the back of her eighteen year old cousin. Ann quickly ran up stairs to dress and ran urgently to where Danny jr had ran off to, not wanting to waste time, Ann just opened the door with out knocking to find her mother on the sofa crying, no wonder no-one opened the door. Ann looked around stupidly and ran back out the door. She couldn't stand to be there where the pain was layered so thick on those peoples souls it made her want to puke. What made her want to puke even more was the fact that she was the only one who didn't know what was going on. For the love of god, even Evelyn jr knew why this was so, she hardly knew anything except how to put on make-up or kiss a boy. Come to think of it, Evelyn jr wasn't there as usual.
Ann stopped at the grave and sat down panting. What the hell was going on she thought as she heard the dirt crackle under someone's shoe. She didn't have to look, it was Danny jr. Ann didn't say anything as he sat beside her. All was silent until Danny jr asked " I bet you have alot of questions". " Yeah, i do" said Ann quietly. " You have no idea what's going on do you" said Danny jr as Ann slowly nodded. " I never have and at this rate never will" whispered Ann looking at the dirt. No one said anything for a while. Ann got up with tears streaming down her face and began to walk off. Danny jr grabbed Ann's arm. " Let me go" said Ann trying not to scream as she struggle against Danny jr's strong grip. " Where" asked Danny jr. " None of your damn bussiness" replied Ann. " Why" asked Danny jr trying not to make Ann any more upset than she must be. " Because i am leaving and there's nothing you can do about it" said Ann wipping away a few stray tears. " Why you gonna leave asked Danny jr, " you know you can't and you know i won't let you". " I can and will" said Ann still pulling against him. " Why would you want to leave" asked Danny jr still trying to keep her from doing something stupid. " Why would i want to leave" screeched Ann, " Why" she screeched again. " It's ok for you people to ask questions but i have been condemed from it so why should i tell you, no body ever tells me anything that's why i am leaving. I am going somewhere where there are no secrets and i am clued in" said Ann huffily. She really hated acting this way in front of Danny jr but she was through with this system. Danny jr let go. " Your right Ann, you are absolutely right" he said sitting down. " No one has ever answered truthfully any of your question about the way things are, there are more secrets you don't know than you could count on your two hands but tell me that you can just walk away and forget about it, forget it all. " said Danny jr as Ann turned back around. " Just tell me why no one around here tells me anything" whipered Ann. " it's because either we were told not to or because they want to keep you "safe". People don't like to talk about it" he said. " When will i ever know" asked Ann " When will i ever know what my family is hiding" Ann said on the brink of tears. " Do you really want to know" asked Danny jr. " Yes i do, i want to know why mom and Aunt Evelyn cry, i want to know why you have a grave in your yard, and whatever else that has been hidden. I have lived my whole life not knowing and wondering and i am sorry to say i don't think it's fair that i have no clue about what goes on" replied Ann. " Ann I don't know if i should tell you but if you really want to know...." " Yes i want to know" interrupted Ann. " Ok then follow me and keep up" said Danny jr taking a deep breath wondering how to begin. " I guess it all started here in Tennessee when Rafe and my real dad Danny, your uncle grew up here and became the best of friends" began Danny jr. Ann's head went stupid for a moment, Uncle Rafe wasn't her real uncle and wasn't Danny jr's father, This Danny was. " Any way, they grew up and joined the Air force, your mom was ten years younger than my father and he had one hell of a job getting her cleared to go to Pearl Harbor. Before they left, Rafe fell in love with my mom Evelyn. Rafe also volunteered to go to England to fight. It ended up your mom and my dad went to Pearl Harbor without Rafe. Not too long after Rafe went to England, his plane crashed and he was presumed dead. Any way, my father was the one to tell my mom about Rafe's death and against their will, fell in love.All was well other than the fact Rafe was dead until Rafe came back, turned out he really hadn't died. My dad and Rafe statered fighting over my mom. The next morning, the attack at Pearl Harbor commensed. My dad and Rafe shot down seven planes, and helped rescue people, my mom was a nurse and your mom helped people out. Any way not too long after, Rafe and my dad were given orders to go on a top secret misson, the Dolitle raid. Well your mom found out about this and against my fathers will, went with them on this dangerous mission, my mom stayed in Pearl Harbor. Before Rafe and my dad left, Evelyn told Rafe that she was pregnant with me and not to tell my dad. My dad, your mom, and Rafe boarded that plane with my dad being the only one who didn't know about me. On this mission, the planes ran out of fuel and crashed in China. The three survived the crash. Then a unit of Japanese soldiers attacked them and my dad saved Rafe from getting hit by a bullet. The Japanese soldiers were all dead or reatreating as Rafe and your mom untied my dad and preyed he wouldn't die, it was then your mom told my dad he was going to be a dad. He told Rafe he would be the dad and he made your mom promise to have a nice family, your mom at the time was so upsett she didn't want to get married and have kids but she promised anyway. My dad died their in Rafe and your mom's arms. When they came back, my mom was waiting to tell my dad she was pregnant. She waited for him to exit the plane with Rafe and your mom but all that followed was my dad's casket. They took my dad back here to Rafe's old house buried him and got married before i was born, they named me after my dad, your mom moved with Rafe and my mom here. Two years later, my mom and Rafe had Evelyn jr. Five years latter your mom had you and moved in with your dad across the street. When we were younger we played a lot and you resemble your mom and i resemble my dad and that made everyone cry. Remember when i told you they were crying solely because of me and not you, they were crying because we looked so much like the Danny and Jannee everyone knew. Evelyn jr. was always so much more into her dolls and stuff that she didn't intervene and i guess that made us look even more so. Even Rafe cries when he see's us, i guess that's why things are the way they are, people just can't forget the past" finished Danny jr turning away. Ann couldn't even begin to comprehend what she had just heard. In a way she felt kind of bad for asking Danny jr. owing to the fact that his father died before he was born. She was overwhelmed by this information. She snapped back to reality to find Danny jr with a single tear streaming down his cheek. " I'm I'm sorry" said Ann quietly. She had never seen him cry in her life and felt bad. " I'ts not your fault, if anyone should be sorry, it should be me" he said another tear joining the other tear. They said nothing for a long while both looking straight ahead not stopping the flowing tears.
