We all eat in silent, it's just me, Alex and Price at the table and I can feel the rising tension... Me and Price still haven't broke the news to Alex, it's a bad idea in general but after everything she's been through she deserves to know.

I can't imagine her being to angry about it nor sad, but I remind myself she acts just like John. And if John was told his real father was a person he knew for a long time he would be pissed. But Alex is a girl which only make's it worse.

I sigh looking at my plate, unable to took my mind off the situation.

{24 Years Ago...}

I throw my hair into a messy bun and walk out of my room, me and John are getting ready to go on a Spec Ops which was highly classified and important to the Operation. If we didn't assassinate Lopez then we weren't going to be able to draw out our main prize one and the higher up terrorist's Oscar Mendez.

"You look nice," I snap my head to the right to see John leaning against the wall waiting for me.

I look down at my outfit, which is a army green tee shirt and a pair of khaki shorts, "Thanks for the sarcasm. Where are we headed?"

John pushes off the wall as we begin to walk down the hallway, "Bolivia... Lopez will be making a deal with someone of the local drug dealers... I wasn't being sarcastic," John gives me a smug look.

"Fuck you, you were being sarcastic... Once we kill Lopez...Will Oscar come out of the dark finally?" I raise my eyebrows curiously.

"From what Command says...If you ask me Command is waiting with bated breath to see us botch this mission," John replies pointedly, "And I wasn't being sarcastic,"

I roll my eyes, "Say what you want, you were being sarcastic...Why would Command want us to botch this mission?"

John gives a grunt as he sags his shoulders, "After what we saw they were testing in the lab...Chanel if I was Command I would want us dead,"

"And we're smarter then Command...Like we could botch a mission...It seems about impossible," I snort back, "Even if we did botch the mission, what would Command do? Leave us for dead?"

"Exactly what Command would do," John answers as he crosses his arms.

I groan, "You're such a pessimist!"

"I'm a realist. You're just being overly optimistic," John replies.

I roll my eyes, "You can't be overly optimistic, only optimistic..."

"Good god, do you know how ridiculous you sound?" John says grimly and I grin, "Oh don't act like you don't love it,"

"I don't,"

"Whatever you say Johnny,"

{Present}

"Ok that's it...Spill it," I looked up to see Alex crossing her arms looking at both me and John.

"What do you mean?" I ask a little to innocently and Alex gives her infamous grim look which she earned from her father, "Oh you mean there's nothing to spill between you and Price? What was that yesterday about knowing each other...Spill it,"

Me and Price exchange looks, "Should we tell her?"

"John is that even a question!?"

John gives a inward grim look, "If she acts like me then she'll be pissed...She has every reason to be."

"You say that like I don't know that...She deserves to know who her father is,"

"You tell her then,"

"You are such a child!" I blow my brown hair from my face in frustration and after our mental discussion I turn to Alex, "Well...Remember when I told you about your Father?"

Alex's eyes go wide and she drops her fork... Making a small clanging noise against her plate, she doesn't even need to be told. Her eyes flit from me to John.

She chuckles and shakes her head, "I'm sorry...It just sounded like you told me Price...Was my father,"

"He is," I reply dead serious.

Her face turns flat and I can see the a hint of betrayal in her eyes, "I...You...All this time..." She shakes her head.

"I thought...I was 15...And you let your own daughter go back to an orphanage?" She looks at John with the unmistakable look of hurt.

"Alex...I didn't even know," Price gives an apologetic look before he an continue she gets up, "All my life. Was a lie, the people I thought were my parents was a lie...Thinking you were my father figure was lie...And you people want me to tell the truth when all I've ever known is lies!? You both weren't even going to say anything about this...were you?"

"Alex honey we wouldn't-."

"Don't give me that bullshit," Alex snaps out as she cuts me off, "I have a vibe...I can read a conversation through facial expressions including the one you both just had...It's heroic that you told me and hell yeah I deserve to know but honestly...I think you...both of you have caused enough damage in my life...The last thing I need are you two trying to give me a childhood that I don't need...I don't need it anymore. When I needed someone there for me...No one was!"

"None of you were ever there for me! Not when I was raped by my sister's boyfriend...Not when I was raped at a club, not when I was pregnant, not when I had my child...You sure as hell weren't there for me when I was suicidal!" Alex growled in frustration, "I might as well kill myself since I lived a bloody lie my whole damn life!"

With that said she turned around and stormed out of the room.

{TRACKING! Chanel Redfield!...}

{Accessing File!...}

{Gaining Access...}

{Access Denied!...}

{TRACKING! Alexandra 'Night' Price!...}

{Accessing File!...}

{Retrieving Data...}

{Updating File...}

{Gaining Access!...}

{Access Granted!...}

Unbelievable! Bloody unbelievable! Price...Someone I looked up to and trusted with all my heart who was my father figure...Actually is my Father! Why I gods name would he put me through hell!?

I open the door to my room and shut it and slide down on to the ground in a burst of tears, it's not but two seconds later Ghost is already next to me, "Oh god, what's wrong!?"

"What's wrong!? Price is my damn father! That's what's wrong!" I snap out as the tears stream down my face.

I don't like being this sensitive and exposed Ghost gives me a confused look, "What do you mean Love? Legally-."

"Ghost...My...My mother just told me that Price is my father," I cut him off as more tears pour from my eyes. He sighs and wraps his arms around me, "Shouldn't you be happy?"

"Happy!? Simon... I, am I supposed to be happy!? I was lied to my whole entire life... I trusted him, and then he actually is my father...It's...It's hard to explain," I sigh.

"Then don't explain," He replies as he rests his chin on the top my head and after a moment he speaks up, "It only makes sense that he's your father...I mean... You act just like him,"

"I...I just don't understand why they didn't tell me sooner...Why couldn't she back out of the project and find Price... I...I just feel betrayed...I mean...I know they were only doing what was best for me, by not telling the truth, but I'm not a child anymore...Whatever they're trying to do for me is pointless. The childhood I needed wasn't there for me and now I can only depend on myself," I sigh as I lean against Ghost.

"That's not completely true...You can still depend on me," He hums out soothingly.

"I can...But not completely...Maybe soon I will be able to. But after what I just heard...No, not complete..." I lean my head against his shoulder as my I feel my conscience spin in slow lopsided.

Just then I see a smaller figure slink off the bed and come over to us, "Are you ok mommy?" Belle asked with a small frown.

"Mommy is just overwhelmed," I answer with a small smile to see her long hair in a bunched mess and her eyes in a sleepy motion.

She sits in front of us then nestles herself between me and Ghost, "When will you talk to Price about it?" Ghost asks quietly making sure he doesn't smother Belle.

I shake my head, "I don't know...I just...Need to gather my thoughts, a lot has happened,"

Ghost gives a small chuckle, "Yeah, a lot's happened...Oh I think I have something you might want..."

"What?" I ask swiping my face from tears with a small smile as he begins to dig through his pockets..."Should be somewhere in here..."

"What do you mean? What do you have?" I ask curiously.

He quickly pulls something out then grins, "Remember this?" He then grabs my left and slips a ring on, I look down in shock to see our engagement ring, "I...How? I thought it was-."

"I found it little ways from where Shepherd captured you...I thought i'd keep it for safe measures," Ghost cut me off with a chuckle to see my state of shock.

I give a small frown to remember being captured by Shepherd, but my frown melts as I take a look at the Sapphire ring.

"Oh it's just like I remember it," I say in awe with a bright smile, "Why did you keep it?"

Ghost shrug, "Well I figured you know, if there ever was a chance for us...I guess I was right," He then leans down and presses his lips to mine, I don't even fight back.

It's not a second later we hear, "Eww!" We broke our kiss and look down at a grossed out Belle. We both chuckle as she groans and presses her face into my stomach.

Just then we hear a knock on the door and I'm the one to groan, Ghost kisses the temple of my forehead, "You and Belle can get back to the bed, I'll hand it."

I nod with a yawn and pick Belle up and walk over to the bed, "What's daddy doing?" Belle pops up from the bed curiously.

"Daddy?" My eyes narrowed as I looked to her then Ghost. Did he tell her he was her dad?

Belle nodded, "He said he wasn't my daddy, but he could be if I wanted him too," A soft smile appears on my lips.

"And you want him to be your daddy?" I ask almost knowing the answer.

Belle quickly nodded, "He's really nice, but he looks scary when he wears his bala-." She giggles when she messes up the word 'balaclava' she continues to try to pronounce it right but fails each time ending up with anther giggle.

I sit by hair comb my fingers through her hair, "You're a silly girl you know that right?" My smile is still soft

"I am not silly!" Belle protests with a giggle, I poke her nose, "Oh yes you are!"

"Alex," Ghost calls out from the door, I sigh and look at Belle, "Stay here ok, I'll be back in a few minutes,"

I then get up and trudge to the door where Price stands with his arms crossed, a grim look paints my face, "Can I help you with something? Dad," I spat out the 'Dad' part.

Price cringes at the word then shakes his head, "You need to be in the War Room by Three Pm, we're going on a mission," He then turned around and walked away.

"What do you think he meant by going on a mission?" Ghost asks as he shuts the door.

I let my shoulders sag, "My vibes telling me that it means Me and Him,"

Ghost chuckled as he slung an arm around me, "It would be good bounding for you both, relieve some tension,"

"You mean by bickering?" I respond flatly as we go to the bed where Belle just so happens to sit in the middle of.

"I'm sure you both will figure it out, what is the worse thing that could happen?" Ghost asks as he sits down on the bed, only for Belle to hop onto his and snuggle herself against him.

I gave pout, "Seriously?"

"What?" Belle asks innocently.

Ghost gives a chuckle as he lays down and I cross my arms with a smirk as I lay down on the bed next to him, "Well, the worse that could happen is that me and Price argue and blow our cover and then we get-."

"Shush, you both are the stealthiest people I know, Alex...You'll do fine. Now c'mon get some rest Love you'll need it," Ghost says as he kisses my crown of my head.

I sigh not bothering to try to reason with him on what could happen, so I just curl myself against him and close my eyes.

Whatever happens, will happen.

Wassup People!? OK, I know I haven't updated in awhile and yeah this is a VERRRY short chapter, and I also said I would have a Ghost POV in this but I didn't really think it would fit.

So, Night is going to go with Price on the next mission...Whatever the name of it is and meanwhile we will get a Ghost POV about the stealthy mission before...T_T

So I finally decided to post my Ghost's story because this saga is unfortunately coming to an end :( So after I had a HUGE war with myself I finally uploaded the Ghost's story which is called 'People Like Us'...The first chapter is going to be "WTF Red what's going on here?" But at the end of the chapter things will start to make sense :P

Anyways you guys can go on and check out that story or just carry on ^_^ but I am going to end this A\N.

As always, Stay Beautiful My Readers.

Sincerely, Red Dawn Shadow.
