For the record I get alot of stuff saying Kerry's too old they're not a good couple ect ect... Well #1 age is just a number especially if you love that person. # 2 I like Kerry and Carter together and its MY story! Plus I happen to know there are others that feel the same. #3 I state in my summery that its a Kerry/Carter story so if you don't like it well then don't read it, so just deal with it! Okay enough ranting enjoy the story! :)
Just a little something I forgot to add as I mentioned Carter and Kerry are married in this story and they've been together since his return from Atlanta and they have an 18 month old daughter Lucy Gabrielle Carter.

Chapter 3: Family Secrets
Zoey sat there staring at Kerry with shock. "You're...you're my ...my ...mother" she finally whispered. Kerry nodded. "Yes" she whispered. Zoey's eyes started to fill with tears. She turned away from her. Kerry tried to talk to her "Zoey sweeite I.." "Just go away" she whispered. "You didn't want me then so why would you want me now" Kerry was crying now as she reached up and stroked the girl's hair. "It wasn't like that Zoey there's so much you don't know" She slowly turned to face her. "So then tell me, what is it that I don't know" Kerry started to feel sick again. "I...I" she stood up and raced toward the door. Zoey sighed "go on abandon me just like you did before" Kerry froze. Carter was now at her side he squeezed her hand. She leaned on him. "I can't tell her why I gave her away John I can't" she whispered.
Carter looked into her tear filled eyes "Yes you can" he whispered "You're the strongest person I know" he whispered "I don't feel very strong right now" she whispered. He continued to hold her hand "I know" He started to lead her back toward Zoey's bed. "John...no...I...I" He looked at her "Its okay I'm right here with you" She sighed letting him continue to lead her over to Zoey. She suddenly begun to shake. Zoey looked at her "So how does he fit in to all this" she asked pointing at Carter. "Is he my father" Kerry shook her head "No he's my husband" she whispered. "Who is my father" she asked. "I...I...don't know" Kerry answered. Zoey looked at her "You were that big of a slut that you don't even know who the hell my father is" she said angrily.
Kerry was shaking even more now. "no it was nothing like that Zoey I...I...was" she was unable to finish she was over come with tears. Zoey looked at her "You were what" she said loudly. Kerry looked over at Carter and he nodded slowly. She turned back to Zoey. "I was...I was...raped" she finally whispered. Zoey looked at her "What?" she whispered "I was 19 years old I was studying at the library with my roommate and her boyfriend." "They left and I stayed and did some more studying" "I was walking back to my dorm when somebody grabbed me from behind" When I tried to get away he broke my leg" "He threw me down to the ground and he...he...raped me" Her eyes filled with tears again.
Zoey was stunned. "Oh my god that's...that's awful" she whispered "My father was...was...the rapist" she asked. Kerry nodded "Yes" she whispered. Zoey started to tremble. "Are...are you sure" she nodded again. "Yes I'm sure I...I was a virgin until that night" she whispered as the tears rolled down her cheeks. Zoey started to sob. She tried to get out of bed. "No wonder you gave me away" "You hated me" "You probably still hate me because when you look at me all you see is what that horrible man did to you" She got tangled in the sheets and landed on the floor. Both Carter and Kerry ran to her aide. She sat there in a heap sobbing.
Kerry stroked the girl's hair. "Zoey honey I never hated you" "How could you not hate me" she whispered through her sobs. "Why didn't you get an abortion?" she asked. "I couldn't do it" she whispered "I thought you deserved a chance to live just like my mother thought I did" Zoey looked up at her. "What" she whispered. "I was adopted at birth too" she whispered "Maria and William Weaver were my adopted parents" "Were?" Zoey said. Kerry nodded "They were killed in a car accident a few years ago" Zoey started to calm down a little "My adopted parents are Cassie and Noah Warner and when I was 8 Cassie had a baby my little sister Julianna" Kerry smiled "I had another child too" she smiled a little "really" she said. Kerry nodded "Yep her name is Lucy Gabrielle Carter she's almost 2"
Carter watched the two women with a smile. Zoey smiled "Cool I'd love to meet her sometime" Kerry was surprised "Really" she asked. She nodded "Sure I mean she is my baby sister" "I'd like to get to know her, my stepdad and you" "That is if you and your husband want to get to know me" she said. Kerry smiled "Of course I would love to get to know you" she whispered. Carter smiled and added "And so would I" They both hugged her.
Susan walked in "How are you feeling Zo" she stopped when she saw Kerry and Carter hugging Zoey. Susan cleared her throat. "Umm Kerry why is my patient on the floor and why are you two hugging her. Carter stood up and helped Zoey and Kerry to their feet. Kerry smiled "Susan I want you to meet Zoey, my daughter" Susan looked at her in shock. "What!?!" "How" Kerry didn't feel like telling the whole sad story so she simply said "I got pregnant when I was 19 I gave the baby up for adoption" Susan was speechless she didn't know what to say.
What will Susan's reaction be? Will Zoey get closer to her new family?.....Find Out In Chapter 4:Getting To Know You.....Coming Soon
