Riley's POV

I woke up the next morning with a headache. I didn't want to go to school but I'm sure mommy and daddy will take me back to the hospital if I didn't feel well. So I got an aspirin and a glass of water from the bathroom. My mirror in the bathroom has a medicine cabinet and a first aid kit behind it just incase mommy and daddy weren't at home when I fall down or get sick. I use my swivel chair to get around the room so it's always next to my bed. After brushing my teeth and changing into a striped tee underneath one of my dresses, I grab my bag and sit on the wheelchair. It's not as fun as the swivel chair since I can't turn around in it but it's easier to move forward and back.

Once I was seated comfortably in the chair and buckled, I wheeled myself out into the hall. Daddy had recently installed a small escalator like thing that would help bring the wheelchair up and down so I used that to get down the stairs and into the kitchen. On the way down, I saw that Maya was there with a shocked and worried look on her face discussing something with mommy and daddy. Auggie was in the living room watching Mr Googly.

I went as close as I could without them seeing or hearing me and tried to listen to what they were saying but they were talking in such hushed voices that I couldn't hear even though I was less than a meter away. Since I couldn't hear anything and I'm sure if I went any closer, they would see me, I decided to just come out and ask them what was this all about.

Cory's POV

After thinking while sleeping restlessly the whole night, I decided to tell Topi and Maya about the bullying incident. I wouldn't tell Topi about Elliot since she had a major case to deal with and the bullying incident is more than enough to fill her plate. I texted Maya to come before Riley wakes up, telling her it's something about Riley. She replied back that she would come half an hour before Riley wakes up, incase I had a lot to say.

I waited with Topi at the dining table, telling Auggie to go eat in the living room for once and watch Mr Googly because we, the adults, needed to have a grownup talk. A while later, Maya arrived through the bay window in my room and say with us at the table.

"Maya, remember the duel?" I asked her first. She stared at me blankly for a while before remembering and nodding her head. "It's back." I said. "What?!" She and Topi shouted at the same time. "Shh, you don't want to wake Riley." I said trying to get them to lower their voices. They nodded before whispering "what?!" I showed them pics of the message I saw yesterday.

Maya's jaw dropped and I could almost see the steam coming out from her ears. Topi looked slightly calmer, but after knowing her my whole life, I knew it was just a façade. Inside, she was probably boiling and just as angry as Maya, if not more. Sometimes it's Maya who is angrier in some situations, and sometimes it's Topi. They both love Riley so much. The both of them would do anything for Riley, she has them wrapped around her finger although Topi would make sure whatever she does for Riley is legal and Maya would do anything no matter what.

"I'm going to track down whoever did this to my little plant. No one does this to my little plant and gets away with it." Maya said. She sounded really scary when she did. Topi on the other hand, asked me what we could do about it since I would probably know a little on this topic. "Let's see how far this person goes, and if this goes too far, we'll get the authorities involved." I said and they nodded. "Maya, I need you to be on even more alert. Something tells me this is going to be even worse than last time." She nodded. The I heard the sound of wheels close by. Riley's down. And by the looks of it, I think she thankfully probably didn't hear our conversation.

"Morning daddy, mommy." She greeted. "Hey Maya, what are you doing here so early?" Maya laughed. "Riles, it's already seven." "Oops." There was something weird about her voice when she said the last line. I made a mental note to see if it happens again. I think Maya realized it to, so did Topi. They shared a weird look at each other for a quick second before turning to face Riley. "C'mon girls, eat your oatmeal." I said, breaking the awkward silence. I helped push Riley's chair closer to the table.

They started to eat their oatmeal. Once in a while, Maya would sneak glances at Riley, who looked deep in thought. Once they were done, we said goodbye to Topi and left the house. We then continued with our new slightly changed daily routine. School was not very different except that I needed to know somethings about Elliot so I asked him to see me after school.

I asked him to to sit down in his seat as I talked to him. "Elliot, what is your full name?" "Elliot Angelus." "Your last name?" "I'm not sure, sir." "Why?" "After I was kicked out from school for defending my best friend, my adoptive parents didn't want me anymore because they thought that I was a disgrace to the family. I had just gone back into the system the day before I first came to this school. I'm sorry if that was too much, you just feel like someone that I can talk to, sir." "It's alright Elliot. What do you know about your birth parents?" "I know that they lived here in New York when they gave me up and that's all." "How do you feel about living in the group home?"

"It's alright but cramp. Luckily, I've been through only two homes other than the group home so far. I lived with my first family for as long as I remember until I was fourteen, then they died in an accident. There was no one left in that family to take care of me so I went back into the system. Then, I got adopted into the second family, which you already know about so here I am." He finished. "Elliot, what if I told you something that could change everything?" I asked him. He shrugged his shoulders. "Elliot, I'm your father." His jaw dropped. "What?" He said barely above a whisper.

"I'm your father. I'm sorry for giving you up. We had no money at that time and wouldn't be able to give you a life you deserved so we gave you up." He glanced at me before whispering "dad?" Tears started pooling in my eyes. I had dreaming of this moment since he was born. "Son!" I said and hugged him. We cried into each other's arms. "No wonder I felt an immediate connection to you as soon as I stepped into the classroom. I love you dad, I forgive you." "I love you too son." I said as we held each other.

Elliot's POV

I had always dreamt of meeting my real dad. I would forgive him immediately because I know there would be a good reason he gave me up and now I know. I wonder where's mom? Do I have any other siblings? Oh wait, there's that girl, Riley. She's cute, in a friendly, or now brotherly, way, but why is she handicapped? "Hey dad, where's mom." I asked him. "She's working as a lawyer." "Do I have any other siblings besides Riley?" "You have a brother named August, or Auggie as he prefers it. He's seven." I was about to ask about Riley when he stopped me. "Riley was involved in the subway accident. Her left leg was paralysed so she can't walk." My poor little sister.

"Elliot, would you like to come back to the family?" He then asked. "Yes dad, yes." I said. I was so happy that he wanted me back. "Alright, I'll tell mom by tonight and you'll be ours again by the end of this week." "Thanks dad." "Do you want to come home with me and meet the family?" I nodded. "Let's go son." I grabbed my bag and we went to the car. Maya and Riley were waiting at the school's entrance. Maya pushed Riley to the car before dad picked her up and placed her in the car. Maya folded the chair and loaded it into the boot. Riley kept giving me strange looks while Maya gave me dreamy ones. The car ride home was silent and awkward. I was so glad when we finally arrived at the building.

Riley's POV

I was waiting for daddy with Maya when I saw him come along with Elliot. I gave daddy puzzled looks. What's Elliot doing, coming with us? I then heard a beep on my phone. I think Maya heard it too since she turned towards me. I just shrugged and ignored it. I don't want to bother them with my problems just incase it was the mysterious texter again. Elliot followed us home. He offered to help me into the apartment but I wasn't so sure since I still don't know him well.

In the apartment, daddy sat me down on the couch before calling mommy and Auggie into the living room. Elliot sat opposite me while Auggie came and sat beside me. "Elliot?" Mommy said when she came into the living room. How would mom know Elliot? Now that I look at Elliot and Auggie, I can see their similarities, even with daddy. "Daddy?" I asked.

"Everyone sit down, including you Maya, you're part of the family too. I'm going to tell you guys a story." Daddy said and Maya sat on my right while mommy sat next to daddy. "A little more than 15 years ago..."

Story time is next. How would the rest of the family react to someone's appearance, or should I say re-appearance? Hope this was up to you guys' expectations. Review your take on the next chapter, possibly coming to you in a few hours.
