Prologue
Brown eyes closed in an effort to hold in tears. The woman stood for several moment in front of the mirror trying to compose herself once more before she had to exit the bathroom and face the lawyers once more.
The 5'7 auburn haired woman expelled a breathe before putting her hand to the door handle and pushing it open.
Two sets of eyes watched her as she entered the office once more.
Both shot looks of sympathy and reassuring smiles towards the twenty seven year old.
"Ms. Marshall, are you well?" the older of the pair, a man in his early fifties with graying hair, asked as the woman retook her seat at the table.
The woman sent a smile the man's way, one that didn't meet her eyes.
"Perfectly. I'm still just a little saddened over my sister's…" she let out a breathe, "death."
"Yes, Ms. Marshall, may I call you Olivia? Perhaps it will make this conversation easier?" The other occupant of the table, a thirty something man with a pleasant, kind face, asked.
"Sure. Yes you may both call me Olivia."
The lawyers shared a look, the elder giving the younger man free reign over the subject of the envelope and will.
"Well, Olivia. Your sister's death had to be very hard on you and her family."
Olivia nodded.
"And we here at Renquist and Stewart want to do whatever we can in order to make the transition from the loss as easy as possible. Thus the reason we called you in today."
"Yes?"
"Your sister left a very detailed will as you know. I believe the day she found out about her illness she made many decision in the unfortunate case of her death, which sadly came to pass."
The man was stopped by Olivia speaking.
"Mr. Connors would you please get to the point of this meeting? I have had enough notes of sympathy and well wishes. Now I have a busy live. In fact I have to return to my niece and nephew…"
"Olivia that is why we called you in today for this meeting, it is in regards to your niece and nephew."
"What about them?"
"Their father is the reason we called you here."
"What bout him? My sister had a one night stand, got pregnant. What more is there to say? She would never tell me the man's name. Only that he had "obligations" and would never have time to be a father."
"Yes well your sister has left a letter for you and one for the father. The day she found out she had cancer she resolved that in the event of her death she wanted her children to know their father, but didn't want to burden him with the children unless he wanted to know them. This as you know from the earlier reading of her will in which you were given custody is different from what was read. This is a stipulation that was to be read to you alone at a later time."
"Oh."
"Yes. Ms. Marshall, Olivia, your sister wanted you to find the children's father and give him a chance to know him and vice versa."
"What?"
"She felt that they should know their father and have one biological parent around."
"What? Robin always told me they had one night and nothing more. I don't understand why she would think they need him around!"
"Well I'm sorry neither of us can tell you but your sister's wishers were for the children to know him."
Olivia let out a breathe.
"Okay well do you have…did she tell you who the father is?"
"No, but she did tell you."
"How?"
The younger lawyer turned to the older signaling for a yellow legal envelope to be handed over which Olivia took.
"The information in the envelope."
"Okay." Olivia said as she began to rise from the chair, only to be stopped by Mr. Connors clearing his throat.
"Yes?"
"There is one more stipulation."
"Yes?"
"You have six weeks to find the father or you forfeit rights to your niece and nephew."
