*Note: I'm kind of following what is going on now on the show, only it is
happening five years after the last story that I wrote* (and it will be
kind of funny if I choose the same sibling for Alison that the show does,
lol)
Alison looked around the room and sighed. She had about 50 pages of her economics book to read (she decided to go back to college to receive her masters degree), had to fix dinner for Rafe and her 5 year old son Ed, and the phone seemed to be ringing off the hook. The drama never stopped!
"I wonder who it will be this time. Maybe it will be Publisher's Clearinghouse with my million dollar reward!" Alison laughed as she picked up the phone. That was never going to happen.
"Hello?"
"May I speak to Alison, please?"
"Speaking."
"Alison, this is Elizabeth, your mom."
She almost couldn't believe she heard right. Her mom? She hadn't seen her or talked to her for at least a year. And that was only because she wanted to inform Alison that her father had died.
"Mother? Well, this certainly is a surprise."
"Yes sweetheart I know. Listen, I hope everything is well with you, Rafe and your son."
Alison rolled her eyes. "His name is Ed, mother. You know that.
"Sorry Alison. Anyway, I was wondering if we could get together? I'm in town and there are things we need to discuss."
"That's fine, but I really don't have much time because I have to pick Ed up from kindergarden in about an hour and then make dinner for him and Rafe."
"Ok. I'll be over in about five minutes."
A few minutes later the doorbell rang, and Alison greeted her mother at the door. Elizabeth was carrying a folded up piece of paper in her hand.
"Well mother, let's just get down to business."
"This is your father's will. I know it's been a year, but your grandmother had a difficult time finding it. I was just with a lawyer who read it over for me and I was surprised to find the results. It states that your father is leaving one half of his estate to you, and the other half to his other child."
"Um, excuse me?"
Elizabeth sighed. "Yes Alison, you have a half brother."
