Lost and Found Chapter 11

Aria sat alone in her living room reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Though, she wasn't really paying attention to the words on the page. She was thinking about Ezra. Today had been her second day of school and the first day she could officially call her English teacher her boyfriend. When she's alone, that is. Oddly enough, the day went by great. They played it cool and no one suspected a thing. The one minor setback was her mother had begun working at the school today. Ezra hadn't met her yet, at least she hoped not. And she had yet to let him know about who is new co-worker was exactly.

Aria was pulled out of her thoughts when the door bell rang. Being the only one home, she got up to answer it. She was surprised to see who was on the other side.

"Spencer? What are you doing here?"


As soon as Spencer learned the news of her biological siblings, all she wanted to do was talk to them. It was a crazy thing to spring on someone but she didn't want to wait any longer. She made sure Garrett was okay with her telling them and as soon as he agreed he was dropping her off at the Montgomery household.

And no, there she was, standing in front of her sister.

"Can I come in?" Spencer asked.

"Uh, yeah, sure." The two walked into the house. Aria shut the door behind them. "Everything okay?"

Spencer ignored that question and instead asked one of her own. "You wouldn't happen to have Noel Kahn's number would you?"

Aria squinted her eyes in confusion. "Um, yes. Why?"

"We need to invite him over. I need to talk to both of you."

Though Aria was still confused, she could tell whatever Spencer wanted to say was important. So within minutes, Aria was on the phone with Noel, who agreed – reluctantly- to come over.

While the two girls waited, they sat on separate couches in Aria's living room. Spencer studied Aria. They both had the same eye and hair color. There was also a slight resemblance in their face. She wondered why she had never noticed before.

It wasn't long before Noel had made it to the house and was joining them in the living room.

"So what was so important that I had to come all the way here for?" He questioned, eying Spencer.

She took a deep breath. "You two may want to sit."

They did as they were told hesitantly and Spencer stood in front of them. She took another breath. "This is probably going to sound crazy, what I'm about to tell you, but please hear me out." She began. Noel and Aria glanced at each other, both confused and curious. Spencer continued, "I haven't told anyone this and there is a reason why I am telling you two. Yesterday I found out that I was adopted."

Aria's eyes widened slightly.

Spencer sniffed. "It may seem quick but today I began searching for my birth parents. I had Garrett Reynolds search through some records for me. He found out that my birth parents didn't just give me up. They put a set of triplets up for adoption."

Spencer watched the two in front of her. Aria sat up straighter, already putting the pieces together.

Noel's eye brows knitted together. "So what does this mean?"

Spencer tried to hold back the tears forming in her eyes. "It means that you both are my brother and sister."

Aria gasped, tears filling her eyes as well. Noel stood up. "What!? That's insane!"

"It's not possible." Aria whispered, shaking her head.

"I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. Noel, what time were you born at?" Spencer asked looking at him.

He looked between the two girls who looked back expectantly. "Uh…8:34 in the morning."

Spencer switched her gaze. "Aria?"

The smaller girl swallowed. "8:57 am."

Spencer nodded. "8:42 am. December 14th, right?"

A tear fell from Aria's eye. "I can't believe it. I'm adopted."

"This is crazy. It's just not possible." Noel said.

"Noel, think about it. Have you ever felt out of place in your family?" Spencer questioned. "Like there was something missing?"

Noel looked down.

"I have." Aria spoke up softly. "I just can't believe my parents never told me."

"Why do you even care Spencer?" Noel questioned, looking at her again. "Why does Spencer Hastings; the girl with lawyers as parents and who has everything you could ask for care about finding her really parents?"

Spencer looked between the two of them. The both looked equally curious to know the answer. She sighed, defeated.

"When I got home from school yesterday, my parents were gone. Garrett along with a detective were there to tell me they had been declared missing. All that was left for me was a note. A social worker took me to a foster home which is where I am currently living now. I read the note last night. They had fled down with a lame excuse. They apologized and blurted out that I was adopted. They left me and without the decency of a real goodbye." Spencer had already lost the fight against her tears. Now she was sobbing. Aria got up and hugged her. She cried into the smaller girls shoulder. While she settled down, she watched Noel. His face had softened and almost looked sad.

After Spencer had fully calmed down, she pulled away from Aria to face both of them again. "All I want is to find my real parents. They may have not wanted us then, but they might now. All I want is to find out and maybe be part of a family again. It would be awesome if my brother and sister could help me." They both looked weary so she continued. "I'm not asking you to replace your parents. I will still look for them either way but they are your parents too. You should be included in meeting them. If you want."

Aria wiped the tears out of her eyes. "I'll help you. I love my mom but I am really curious about our biological parents."

Spencer smiled. "Thank you. Noel?" The girls turned and faced him.

"What? Do you expect us all to be one big family now? This is still crazy."

"Noel please, I know this is weird but-"

Noel shook his head. "No. I don't want any part of this."

Spencer sighed. "Okay." She took piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to him. "But if you change your mind, please call me."

He shoved the paper in his pocket. "Fine, but don't get your hopes up." He headed for the door. "Good luck with your search." And with that, he was gone.

The two brunettes glanced at each other before making their way back to the couch. "I'm sorry for springing this on you. I know it's a lot to take in, but I didn't know what else to do." Spencer said.

"No, it's okay. I understand. I'm glad that I know the truth now. Like you said, I've always felt like something was missing." Aria replied.

Spencer nodded. "It's nice to know I'm not in this alone."

Aria smiled. "Honestly, I've always wanted a sister."

Spencer smiled back, "Me too!" They both laughed. "Do you think you'll tell your mom?"

Aria shrugged. "I don't know. I will eventually but not right away."

Spencer nodded. "Well I need to get back to the foster home." She stood up. "It's late and I've had a long day."

Aria chuckled, standing up as well. "I didn't see your car. Do you need a ride?"

Spencer smiled. "That'd be great."


Noel thought his life couldn't get anymore messed up. He was wrong. In the midst of three days he found out he was going to be a father, he was adopted, and he had two sisters. It was crazy. But it made a lot of things make sense. He sighed. He had just pulled into his driveway. He hopped out of his car and walked into his house.

"Hello? Mom, dad? Are you home?" he called out. "Of course not." He answered himself. They never were.

He groaned, plopping down on his sofa. He placed his head in his hands. He hated that his parents were never around. He has felt likes he's been on his own his whole life.

Maybe if he agreed to work with Spencer and Aria to find their birth parents, things would be better. He might actually feel a part of a family. He'd have his sisters and maybe in the near future, his biological mom and dad. The more he thought about it the better it sounded. He jumped up from his spot on the couch, grabbing his phone and the paper Spencer handed him earlier from his pocket. He quickly put in her number and waited for her to answer. She did on the second ring.

"Spencer? Hey, it's Noel. I just wanted to say I changed my mind. I'm in. I want to find our birth parents."
