"No actually, I moved here last night and I decided to check out the town today. I had no idea you were doing a signing today!" Jessica answered Jason's question. Jeremy sat next to Jason and Mary sat next to Jeremy. Big tony was driving and David, the boys' father, was in the front passenger seat.

As they pulled in front of her foster home she was sad to be leaving them until Mary asked if it would be alright if they came in for a moment or so and Jessica said it would be amazing. Jessica walked into the house first and saw Kelly.

"Kelly is it okay if I bring some friends in for a few minutes?" Jessica asked.
"Um sure I don't see a problem with that Jess." Kelly answered smiling at Jessica. Jessica realized that these foster parents were the nicest ones she has ever had.

"Thank you so much Kelly!" Jess said going back to the door to let everyone in. The only ones that stayed in the car were Jeremy and Big Tony.

"Hi my name is Mary Gray; this is my husband David Gray and our three oldest children Jason, Shane, and Nate Gray. We came here to talk to Jessica for a little while if you don't mind." Mary said shaking Kelly's hand.
"Is everything alright?" Kelly asked concerned.
"Oh yes everything is fine we just need to talk to her." Mary said reassuringly.
"Alright you can talk down here I will be in my room if you need me." Kelly said as she headed up stairs to her room.

"Jessica, there is something that we need to discuss with you. I know that I never thought this day would come but now it has and we could not be any happier!" Mary said to Jessica as she sat down one of the couches.
"Wait what is going on?" Jessica asked getting scared.
"You see Jessica, I am your mother, this is your father, and your three older brothers. I know you may not understand but I am here to explain things to you. You see, when I was pregnant for you our family was having difficulty with money. By the time I had given birth to you we were barely making enough money to provide for the boys and we did not know how we could possibly handle trying to scrounge money for another little baby. Together your father and I decided it would be best for you to go into foster care. Unfortunately we had only given you a first and middle name without a last name. About a year after we had given you up your father got a great job as a minister at a church. We were given a house that was paid for, provided with food, and lots of money. Unfortunately when we tried to track you down to get you back it was near impossible! Since you were not given a last name we could not track down where you were and the foster people said the only chance we had of getting you back was to meet up by chance! When you said you name, and you said you had no last name, and that you are in foster care and your birthday I knew you were my daughter. Fate has brought us back together and I will do what ever it takes to get you back!" Mary explained as a single tear ran down her face.
"I, uh, wow. Um, I, well, I don't know what to say!" Jessica said in shock.
"Well Jessica if you want to come and be with us that would make us all very happy. If you do not want to then that is alright too we understand." Mary said trying to put a smile on.
"Um, let me go call my social worker." Jessica said getting up and going into the kitchen and picking up the phone.

"Hello? This is Courtney King. How may I help you?" Courtney, Jessica's social worker, answered.
"Hi Courtney this is Jessica Samantha and I was wondering if there is anyway you could get down here to see me. My family found me and they are here now and want to take me with them." Jessica said still not completely believing what was going on herself.
"Oh wow um well this is really important. Umm I can get there in about half an hour. I will try my hardest to get there sooner just keep them there till I get there." Courtney replied.
"Okay see you soon, Bye" Jess answered.
"Alright by sweetie." Courtney said hanging up.
