Chapter 1

Charity stricken with pain lifted the picture to meet her eyes. She stared at the picture knowing that things would never be the same again.

Two days earlier

"Mom," Ashley said, "can I go to Natasha's house all night tonight?"

"Sure," Kay said.

"Thank you," Ashley said.

"I'm going to be out 'til late tonight so don't wait up," molly said and walked out the door.

"What about you two?" Kay said to Sam and charity.

"I'm going to the book caf‚," charity said.

"And I'm going with robin," Sam said.

"Okay your father and I well be home if you need us," Kay said.

--That night-

Charity had left the book caf‚ and come home early. She walked in quietly and shut the door behind her. The only light on in the house was in the living room and Charity decided to she what was going on. As she moved closer she heard her mother and father taking about her.

"Charity well be 18 in two days," Kay said.

"I know she's growing up so fast," Miguel said.

"That's not what I mean," Kay said.

"Of course that's what you mean your upset because your babies are growing up and becoming their own people," he said.

"On Miguel, my cousin well be dead 18 years in two days," Kay said.

"I know," he said.

"What?" charity asked herself.

"I mean we should tell her," Kay said.

"Kay you are her mother," Miguel said.

"I know but I've always planned on telling her about Charity," Kay said.

"No!" he yelled.

"Why not Miguel?" Kay asked.

"Because you are her mother and I don't want to relive the whole thing," Miguel said.

"I'm sorry," Kay said, "she's your daughter."

"Kay," Miguel said, "She's our daughter."

"No she's not," Kay said and began to cry. Charity quietly went up over the stairs.

Charity threw herself on the bed. "What is going on," she said before falling asleep.

--Dream--

A tall, thin, blond girl stood in a garden with charity.

She said, "Do you want to know whats going on?"

"Yes," charity said.

"Check your birth certificate," she said and everything faded to black.

--End dream-

Charity woke up the next morning determined to find what was going on.
