"What?" Philby and Willa yelled at the same time.

"Yeah…what they said" Finn said, pointing to the phone.

"Wanda is my mom!" Amanda repeated, not losing her excitement.

"That part we got darling" Willa said

Amanda took a deep breath and told them the story…

…..

5 minute before

"What is it?" Amanda said, making sure she didn't call her Wanda for whatever reason it had upset her.

Wanda sighed. "18 years ago my life was going in all the right directions. I had everything I wanted, good job, a loving husband and my Dad." As confused as Amanda was, she didn't dare interrupt. "My husband wanted children…I didn't…So when I became pregnant, I wasn't about to tell him how I felt about it."

"Ok…" Amanda listened patiently.

"What I did next was so unforgivable but I truly hope you will forgive me" Wanda continued, eyeing Amanda.

"Why do you want my forgiveness? I'm sorry, I'm just a little confused" Amanda said.

"I gave my first and only child up" Wanda said, trying to find the courage to continue. "She was a beautiful baby girl…still is."

The light bulb was slowly turning on inside Amanda's head. She started shaking; she couldn't control it if she tried.

"You mean?" Amanda choked out.

"I named her Amanda" Wanda said.

…...

Finn stared in amazement as Amanda finished her story. "sooo…that means…"

"Wayne's my grandpa!" Amanda squealed "Finn, I have a family!" she tackled him in the best hug Finn had ever received. He returned it gladly, still letting this news sink in.

Wanda had appeared behind Amanda smiling as to reassure Finn that Amanda was telling the truth.

"Aw! Amanda I'm so happy for you!" Willa screamed through the phone.

"Wow…" Philby said, but Finn could tell he was smiling.

"I'm happy for you too" Finn said, squeezing Amanda a little tighter.

"You have no idea how hard it was for me to keep it a secret for so long…I didn't want to tell you until you were older" Wanda said.

"It's ok, it all worked out. But wait, where's…" Amanda gulped "Daddy?" she was afraid, yet anxious to hear the answer.

"He left me, about a year after you were born. I couldn't tell you where he is now. He loved you very much Amanda, and so do I" Wanda said soft and gently.

"Then why'd you give me up?" Amanda asked the dreaded question.

Wanda took a deep breath "I wasn't ready for you. I wasn't prepared to be a mother and I believed there was someone out there who could take better care of you."

"Oh…wait a second…is that why I'm a Keeper? I wasn't…just a tag along?" Amanda asked.

"Exactly. Dad begged me to try and talk to you. He's wanted a granddaughter for quite sometime now" Wanda smiled.

Amanda breathed a sigh of relief. All her question had been answered. She now understood fully that she was meant to be a part of the Keeper family.

Sounds like its all rainbows and bunny rabbits doesn't it?...its not over yet…mostly because I haven't finished it…How will it end…hmmm….
