"Parker, this is your mom." Keely spoke softly her heart filled with some unknown emotion.
Silence reordered through the other line. "Are, are you serious?" The boy asked. "I mean of course you are. I just thought that you wouldn't want to talk to me."
"Hey, relax, I called didn't I?"
Parker's smile was visible even to Keely. "Yeah, oh guess what!" He exclaimed.
Keely smiled and looked at Phil. "What!?"
"I've never called anyone mom except for you." He stated this proudly and Keely took it hard.
"Oh Parker I'm really sorry." Keely put a hand to her mouth and sighed. Phil rubbed her back soothingly.
"Why are you sorry?" He asked. "I thought that was a good thing."
"It is, you just, you should have had a mother."
Parker shrugged. "I didn't want one."
"I know, I read that in your letter." Keely noticed how out of place her mother and Phil looked. "Hey Parker is it okay I put you on speaker phone so your dad and grandmother can hear you?"
"Sure, I'd like to talk to them."
Keely pushed the button and placed the phone on the counter. "Alright, you're on speaker phone."
Parker remained silent.
"Hey, are you there?" Keely asked worriedly.
"Yeah, just thinking."
"What are you thinking about?" She asked.
"Well, I'm home schooled and I was wondering, if it's not to much trouble for you, could I bring my work over to the station?" He asked emotionally.
"You want to come and visit?" She asked.
He sighed. "Well yeah, if you want me to."
"Of course you can. Do you want me to pick you up or is someone going to drop you off?" Keely's heart raced. Was this going to fast?
"Um, hold on." He put down the phone and ran off.
Keely looked at Phil who was smiling happily. He pulled her into a lasting, soundless, kiss. "I can't believe it."
"I know, you did it!" Phil said happily.
She shrugged. "I know, but it all feels so wrong."
"Don't worry about it." He kissed her head and Mandy smiled at the loving couple.
"I'm back." Parker stated. "Um, Linda told me that she would prefer I didn't go see you tomorrow."
"Linda?" Keely questioned painfully.
"My foster mother."
"Oh, well then we can just keep talking now." She suggested, upset a little bit.
Parker shook his head. "No, I'm coming tomorrow and I'm meeting you at the station." He hung up the phone and Keely looked stunned at her husband.
"What do we do?" She asked as he ended the call.
"You let him come to you." Mandy told her. "If that's what he wants, then tomorrow he'll meet you at the station."
"What if he gets lost or something?" She asked.
Mandy smiled. "Something tells me he's been there before."
"Why do you say that?" Phil asked while holding Keely's waist.
"He knew her. You could feel it when he talked. He wasn't nervous until Keely put him on speaker phone." Mandy explained standing. "Give the poor kid some time. Give his foster parents some time, but whatever you do. Call and make sure is foster parents know where he is tomorrow morning."
"Alright, will do." Keely pulled away from Phil and hugged her mother around the neck. "Thanks for being here for me."
"Aren't I always?" Keely smiled at her mom.
"I'll call you tomorrow." Keely closed the slider door behind her mother and smiled.
On the other side of town
"Did I just hear that you told that woman you were going to go with her?" A woman screamed from another room.
Parker turned around. "Yeah, I have to right to meet my mother, thank you very much."
"But I don't even know this woman!"
"But I do!" He fought back.
Linda sneered. "Ha, that woman doesn't care about you. She gave you away to adoption so you could live a normal life."
"She does care about me. If she didn't then she wouldn't have called." He defended his mother.
"You and Mia both have no respect for what you have." The woman yelled. "Why are you both in search of your families? You've been living with this family for two years now."
"We just want to be where be belong."
"You belong here!" She screamed at him.
"I'm going tomorrow and I'm taking Mia with me!" He darted up stairs to his bedroom and found a girl sitting on the bed. He looked at her and knelt in front of the bed. "Be ready to go tomorrow."
"Where are we going?" The ten year old asked.
"We're going to visit my family and hopefully they'll help us find yours." He sat down on the bed next to her.
"What if I really don't have a family?"
"Then, I don't know."
Mia sighed. "I don't want to live with this family anymore. I can't stand the way they talk to us, like we're less because our parents abandoned us or something."
"That's why we have to figure out where we belong." Mia looked up at him. "So, are you coming?"
"I'm not staying here that's for sure." He laughed and pushed her off the bed.
"We have to get the bus at five, so be ready at four thirty." He watched her eyes widen.
"Are you crazy?" She asked him. "No way!" For a ten year old, she sure did love her sleep.
"Alright, then we'll leave at five thirty and get to the broadcast station right before the show ends."
Mia blinked at him. "Fine!" She turned around and started to leave the room. "Wait a second, how do you know all of this stuff? You know, about what time we'll get there and stuff."
Parker shrugged. "Where do you think I go every morning?"
"Craig drives you there every morning?" She asked with emphasis. "Then why can't he drive us tomorrow?"
"I don't know. Do you want me to call him?" She ran back to the bed and grabbed the phone on his nightstand. She threw it to him and he pushed speed dial.
It rang several times and soon a scruffy college student answered the phone. "Hey little man what's up?"
"Hey Craig, I was wondering if you could give Mia and I a ride tomorrow to the broadcast station."
He shrugged. "Sure, what time do you want me to pick you up?"
"5:30 in the morning?"
Craig smiled. "Alright then I'll see you tomorrow."
They hung up the phone and Parker sat back against the bed. "I love that guy."
The next morning Keely's alarm clock set her off with a jolt. She kissed Phil's head before leaving to go get read. She peered in the nursery at her girls who were two days away from turning one. She hit the bathroom quickly and didn't waste a single second. She dressed and brushed in a hurry and was out the door and into her car speeding off towards the station.
She dialed Phil's cell phone and listened to the answering machine pick up. "Damn you Phil. How am I going to talk to you now?" She groaned and dropped the phone to the seat. Her heart was racing and all she could think of was meeting her son, for the first time.
Back on the other side of town, Parker and Mia were just waking up. Parker knelt in front of ten year old Mia's bed and tapped her head. "Hey Mia, get dressed. Come on, I've been ready for a half of an hour. Mia groaned and looked at the clock. 5:25
"I don't want to go, go without me." She sat up and looked at Parker. He already had his jacket on and his ear lobe length hair was combed like the skater guys. "Okay, I'm going, but I'm wearing my Pj's." She stood up in front of him and ran to her closet. She pulled out a pink jacket and slipped it on over her arms. Parker grabbed her hand and pulled her into the dark hallway and to the front door. She slipped on her shoes just as someone grabbed her shoulder from behind. She jumped and Parker and Mia spun around to become face to face with Linda.
"I thought I told you that you weren't going today."
Parker laughed. "Craig's going to be here any minute. I already have our school work. We'll be back later. He put his hand on the door and pulled Mia out into the front walk way. Linda followed them.
"I don't think so."
Linda was cut off by Craig who came out from the driveway. "Is there a problem?"
Linda blinked at him. "Yes, these two children think that they are going to visit a strange woman at five thirty in the morning."
"She's my mother!" Parker exclaimed.
"She's his mother." Craig and Mia said at the same time.
"I'm going!" Parker backed against Craig who put his arm on his shoulder. Mia took Parkers hand and glared and Linda.
"If you leave now I'll call the adoption agency." She threatened.
Parker laughed. "They love me and they know that I want to meet my real mother, so I don't care what you do." Craig put Mia and Parker in the back seat of his car. "We're leaving," he shouted.
Linda huffed and slammed the front. Craig pulled out of the drive way and let his head fall against the head rest. "Thank god I only had to spend two years in that house."
"I know, lucky ass!" Parker swore at him.
"Hey Buddy, no vaguer words in my car." He laughed. "So, are you actually going to follow through today? I see you've brought Ms. Mia, do it has to be serious."
Parker smiled. "It is, she called me!" He said excitedly.
"Who, you're mom? No way man, that's awesome." Craig got onto the highway. "Why are you taking Mia with you?"
Mia giggled. "Parker's going to see if his mom can help me find my family."
Craig sighed unnoticeably. "Congratulations." The rest of the ride was silent…
(OMG we're so close to the confrontation!)
Craig dropped them off in front of the station. He checked to make sure Parker had his cell phone and he left. Parker and Mia didn't know what to do. It was a big building with only one front entrance. He sat down on the curb and Mia stood in front of him.
"What's wrong?" She asked looking at her adoptive brother. His long blonde hair covered his blue eyes that were starting to blur up.
"This is as far as I got in my dream." He complained. "It was terrible."
Mia sat down next to him. "What happened?"
Parker sighed. "I got lost." He let his head fall into his lap. "There were so many doors and I didn't know which one she would come out of. I stood in the middle of the parking lot so I could see every single door. After a long time I dicided to go into the building and find her myself, but there were so many news stations in this one building. I finally gave up and fell asleep in the hallway."
Mia laughed, but soon recovered. "You fell asleep?"
Parker nudged her shoulder. "What do you think she'll be like?"
Mia shrugged. "I don't know. She could be just like you, but I don't really know. Those pictures you showed me of her don't say much about her. You look just like her, though."
"How do you think I should greet her? She I run up to her and give her a hug? Should I shake her hand? Should I tell her that I missed her? What should I do?"
Mia rubbed his back. "I don't know. I'm only ten you know."
"Do you think she'll know who I am?" He asked.
Mia laughed. "I think you'll be the only eleven year old blonde hair, blue eyed kid jumping up and down in the parking lot."
He laughed to. "This is so weird."
"Just relax." She checked her cute flower watch. "It's 7:05"
"The show's over. She should be out soon." He stood up as a group of men in business suits exited through the large doors. They looked at the two kids weird, but continued towards their cars. "Oh my god. What do I do?"
Mia gave him wide eyes. "Don't freak out now. I'm not letting you back out and I'm not calling the hospital if you pass out, mostly because I don't know the number for 911."
Parker groaned at Mia covered his face in with his hand. Tears were falling down his face and he whipped them off. His heart was racing. "I'm so confused. I want to go back home. I don't know what to do. I always know what to do. Maybe I'm having another panic attack. Maybe you should call 911. I think there's something wrong with me."
Mia laughed. "Yeah well, there's a lot wrong with you, but we're not here to talk that right now. You're here to meet your mom. And you better not have a panic attack because you have them all too often. They're really scary too." He pushed his back towards the door just as a tall blonde exited the building. Mia's mouth fell and she went to slap his face, but he lifted it instead.
"What? Never mind, Mia, what if she hates me? What if she thinks I'm insane?" He whipped his red cheeks with the sleeve of his jacket.
"Why don't you turn around and ask her you're self?" Mia said laughing.
Parker took a steep towards Mia. "Not a good time to play a practical joke on me."
Mia took his head a forced it around. His eyes fell on a partly familiar face. Her face was red and blotchy, just like his. Her blue eyes filled up with more tears. "Woah."
"I don't think you're insane, and I could never hate you." Parker fell backwards and Mia gasped.
"No way!" She cheered. "He did have panic attack. I totally called it." She looked up at the shock woman in front of her who was bending over her unconscious son. "I mean maybe you should lie his down somewhere." She laughed nervously.
Keely wrapped her arms under Parker's small frame and lifted him off the ground. "Does this happen a lot to him?" Keely asked.
"Yeah, he has Partial Paranoia Disorder; he passes out if he gets too excited." She explained.
Keely felt like a retard asking a ten year old for help. "What do I do with him?"
Mia laughed. "Lie him down somewhere. He'll wake up in a little while." She picked up Parker's backpack and Keely carried the twelve year old to his car. She lie him down in the backseat.
"Now what do I do?" She asked bending down to the ten year olds eye level. She reached out for the backpack. Mia handed it to her and smiled.
"I don't know. Do whatever you want to. He'll be awake soon and you and he can have your three hour conversation about nothing." Keely laughed pushed the hair out of the ten year olds face.
"Do you want to sit in the car? It's kind of cold out here." Mia shrugged and smiled. Keely held open the passenger seat door for her and she quickly jumped in. Then she closed both Mia's and Parker's door before getting in the drivers seat. They sat there in the silence for a while before Mia look up at her.
"I'm Mia by the way." Keely held out her hand.
"I'm Keely Diffy. You can call me by my first name if you want to." Mia nodded. "So, that's Parker."
"Yeah, that's Parker." Mia laughed. "Karen from Hinders, you know the adoption agency, call him POW. It means piece of work."
Keely laughed and took a long look at her son. "My husband, Parker's biological father, had Partial Paranoia Disorder as a kid too."
Mia nodded. "I guess it runs in the family."
Keely smiled. "Yeah, I guess it does." She reached out a hand to touch Parker's cheek. "So Mia, how old are you?"
"I'm ten, but I turn eleven in one day." She stated proudly.
"That's cool; you have the same birthday as my two girls."
"Yeah, I know, Parker told me." Keely and Mia nodded and looked at Parker who turned over on his side. "You know, he's crazy about you. He has a box under his bed with a whole bunch of pictures and news articles and stuff in it."
"So he was never mad at me for leaving him?" Keely asked seriously.
"No, of course not, well at lease I don't think so. He never said he was." Mia shrugged. "Parker's a complicated kid. This is his, like, millionth time showing up at the station."
"Why didn't he try to talk to me?" Keely asked a little bit upset.
"He didn't know if you wanted him to or not." Mia flicked Parker's nose. "It's just like him to take the easy way out." She put her face up against his. "Hey loser, it's time to recover."
He opened his eyes. "I told you that it was a dream." He shouted. "Well, I told you in my dream that it was a dream."
"Sadly, that makes no since, but hello! I came all this way for you to talk to your mother for me, now get to it." She backed away and once again he was looking at his mothers face.
She placed a hand on her son's cheek and smiled. "I'm so sorry." He said. He sat up and wrapped his arms around his mothers neck.
"Why are you sorry?" She asked running her fingers through his hair.
"I don't know. It just felt appropriate to say that." Keely pulled away and smiled at him.
"You're really tall for a twelve year old." She said rubbing Parker's tears away.
"I'm five foot." He stated proudly.
"You're lucky."
"How come?" Mia asked. "Is it a good thing to be tall?"
"Only if you're a boy. If you're a tall girl, you could be taller than you're boy friends." She told Mia.
Mia grimaced and leaned her head back. Parker motioned towards the front seat and Keely nodded. He jumped up next to Mia and sat down. Keely looked at his blonde hair. "I didn't dye it I swear. I know what you're thinking. I read it in a science magazine. It's improbable to have three kids with blonde hair because the gene varies over three colors."
"Woah you're smart." Keely joked. "No, I was just thinking about how all of my kids look like me."
Parker nodded. "I uh, brought something for you. It's not like a gift or anything. I just thought you might not have one." He reached into his bag and pulled out a white slip of paper. "Here."
Keely took the paper in her hand a flipped it over.

Keely looked up at her son. "I'm so sorry that I did this to you."
"It's not you're fault." He smiled. "I'm fine with the way I'm living my life."
Mia gasped. "Are you joking? You hate Linda. I hate Linda. Parker I can't live with her any more. You told me you would ask for help."
"Linda's your adoptive mother, right? What's wrong with her?" Keely put a hand on Parker's cheek and he smiled. "What does she do to you?"
"She doesn't hit us, if that's what you're implying." Keely smiled and removed her hand from his cheek. They both grimaced and blushed. "She makes us do all of her dirty work because she thinks it will make us feel better about our selves."
Keely started the car. "Why don't I take you guys over to my house for a while? I bet you haven't eaten breakfast."
Mia smiled. "I'm so hungry!"
Parker pulled the seat belt over him and Mia. "Is it okay if we both stay in the front?"
Keely nodded and pulled the seat belt over herself. "I'm going to give my husband a call and let him know we're coming over now. Maybe him or our nanny Hillary can make some breakfast?"
She hit the on star button as she pulled out of the parking lot. The phone started ringing. Mia and Parker sat next to Keely, excited and happy.
"Hello?" Hillary answered the phone.
"Hey, it's Keel." She called out to the car.
Hillary smiled. He arms were filled with Page. "How did you know to call when something's going wrong?"
Keely pushed back into her seat, tense and confused. "What's wrong?"
"She's wants you." Hillary said.
"Mama." Page cued herself in the background.
"Tell her I'll be home in twenty minutes." Keely looked over at Parker and Mia who were patently waiting. "Hey Hill, can you make pancakes?"
"Yeah, I can, how many?"
Keely looked at the kids. They held up fingers. "How bout ten?"
"Ten Keel, woah! Alright if that's what you want?"
"Is Phil there?" She asked.
"Yeah hold on." They sat in the car for a second before Phil picked up.
"Hey Keely. What's wrong?"
"What makes you think something is wrong?"
"You called my cell phone on the way to work."
Keely smiled. She loved how well Phil knew her. "Yeah well, I'm okay now. I just wanted to let you know we're on our way home."
Phil smiled. "Alright then, I can't wait to finally meet my son."
Parker smiled also. "And I can't wait to finally meet my dad."
OMG! There was chapter eleven with twelve pages. OMG that's the shortest chapter I've ever had. I'm so sorry, but you'll deal. I love you all!
