"I AM NOT TURNING INTO DAD!" he yelled as he raised his arm to slap Cassie.
His hand froze in mid air shocked by what he was actually about to do. Slowly he lowered back down to his side.
"See," she yelled as she ran out of the room.
*******************
Cassie ran into the waiting room and was stopped as she ran into Ned's arms. He hugged her as he realised what had happened.
"Please help us. I don't care if we have to go into foster homes. Just don't split me and Ally up." She sobbed into Ned's arms as he rubbed her back to sooth her.
"Sshh. Everything will be alright, sshh."
"What's just happened?"
"Kieran, he's... He's turning into dad," she sobbed.
"Look we'll give you a minute or two to calm down and then we'll come back in to talk about this. Okay?" Cassie nodded her head as the policemen left the room.
Melinda looked over as Brian appeared.
"Tell her everything will be okay," he said with sadness in his voice. Melinda nodded and turned to face Cassie who had calmed down slightly but still crying.
"Brian's here and he says that things are going to get better now." Cassie nodded as she wiped her eyes and looked up.
"Is that for me?" asked Brian with a smile on his face looking over to his left.
"The light?" Brian nodded with a smile. "Yeah that's for you. Cassie Brian's crossing over now."
"Wait," Cassie said. Everybody looked at her. "I just want to know why you suddenly started talking to me, you just started talking to me like a mate." Brian smiled as her began to speak.
"Because I wanted to see how my daughter was." As he said it Melinda looked at him shocked.
"What? What's he saying?"
"Brian is your father."
"What? What do you mean? How?" Melinda listened as Brian told her which then she repeated to Cassie.
"They gave you up when you were a baby because they wanted you to have a better life. They were really poor and they couldn't afford to take care of you, they just wanted a better life for you."
"So my dad isn't my biological dad," she said as a smile started to spread across her face.
"Yeah," Ned replied. "You're not related."
"Is my mum still alive?" she asked hoping that she still had some family who could take care of her.
"No she died a couple of years after you were born, car crash," said Brian tears of both happiness and sadness in his eyes. His daughter finally knew who she was but he was upset as he remembered his wife. Melinda's eyes also filled up with tears as she shook her head.
"No she died in a car crash shortly after you were born." Cassie nodded as the smile disappeared from her face.
"Tell her she has a brother, Tom Walker. He's twenty four and lives in New York. He'll take care of them both."
"Both?" asked Melinda confused.
"Yeah, you can't split Ally and Cassie up," he laughed causing Melinda to laugh too. Brian gently stroked Cassie's face before walking into the light. Melinda told her about her brother before the two policemen came back in. The policemen started talking to Cassie who now had a smile across her face knowing that she would finally be happy again.
