Chapter 13

At last we're all seated round the dining room table with 'the' brown envelope just sitting there between us. Suddenly, I wish I was back in the car with the tension and the awkward silence. OK, here goes...

Pepper picked up the brown envelope, opened it, took a deep breath and read out "positive" and it felt like time just froze. I couldn't breathe it was so strange, I shouldn't have been so surprised but it's different when it's set in stone and completely factual.

I then snapped out of it and looked around the table. Mum had a smug grin on her face, I guess it's because she was proven right so that's probably why. Pepper didn't look that surprised and had her professional look and Tony he looked like he was in shock and then he sort of snapped out of it and I managed to look away before he sees me looking at him.

"So...tea?" I asked. Mum smiled and rolled her eyes at my answer, suggesting that tea was a cure for pretty much everything.

"Do you have any coffee?" Tony asked and everyone laughed at my horrified expression. How can this be? No one ever asks for coffee in this house, like, ever! I don't even know how to make it.

"We don't have any coffee as you can probably tell, we are more tea people" mum explained.

Mum made us tea and the others ended up not having anything. We sat down to discuss what's going to happen with me and they said that it will just be easier if we do it in the company of a lawyer. So mum and Pepper went upstairs to start the first plan. I think it was more about leaving me and Tony to talk, which was of course incredibly awkward, so thanks a lot mum.

"So," we both said at the same time. We both smiled. It is kind of weird that we said it at the same I guess, like father like daughter, god that's wired to say. Dad, he's my dad err I guess, I have to get used to it, it's just so weird.

"So, when is your birthday?" he asked.

"Fifth of October, nineteen ninety eight" I answered.

"So you're fourteen" he stated.

"Yep, pretty much"

"So the game looked a lot like basket ball."

"Yep, well it's very similar apart from instead of freakishly tall guys, its teenage girls running around in netball skirts and instead of bouncing the ball, you can't move at all and I won't go into too much of an explanation."

"Oh OK, cool." Oh my god this is so awkward, there should be a book on how to deal with long lost parents who turn out to be billionaires. They could make billions and then they could then use that to reconnect with their children.

We go into another incredibly awkward silence and for the first time properly ever, I don't know what to say even though I've been planning for the past eleven years. At first, it was going to be "daddy stay and don't ever go again. But then as I got older and more unforgiving, it was going to be a speech about how he disgusted me and how he was too incompetent. Really just about how much of an arse hole he was. I knew what I was going to say back to front and now looking at him I don't have the words or the heart to say it to him knowing that he didn't even know I existed. It makes it so much better and so much worse at the same time oh wow, what the hell has happened? When did I turn into such a little girl?

The whole time that we have been sitting here, he keeps opening and closing his mouth as if he has something to say. He looks completely clueless and like he doesn't know what to say, and according to the mags, he always knows what to say. Maybe I should take a picture because it might not happen again.

And it stays like this with both of us racking our brains trying to find something to say to each other until I hear the door bell and we both let out a sigh of relief. He went up the stairs to open the door but then he stops and looks at me with raised eyebrows and then says "really?" I realise that he means our door bell so I turn around and say, "Never let me pick anything out because that is the result." I give him a grin and go and open the door.

It was Mrs Taylor from across the street just asking for some sugar, at least until she saw Tony, at which point she fainted, which was kind of funny so Happy carried her back to her place and we sort of left it there. I wasn't sure what to do but they just acted like it happens all the time well ,I guess they do deal with it all the time and it will take some getting used to it. Oh this is going to be weird. We did manage to do all this without mum or Pepper noticing, I'm guessing that she's a bit like mum and that you would probably get moaned at for doing something that wasn't your fault like making the other towns people think that one of the toilets is haunted by the ghost of a deranged chicken that will peck your eyes out if you go in. Not my fault that all the towns people are gullible idiots and don't know when someone installs a sensor of a chicken clucking and then alters it so that it sounds evil. They made up the eye eating thing so you know it's not my fault, they're just idiots.

We go and sit at the table so it looks like we never left as mum and Pepper come down the stairs and I feel relieved that, that's not another awkward conversation to have, so lucky me. "I spoke to Harrison and he said that he will get here for Thursday" Pepper said and Tony nodded.

"I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that Harrison is the lawyer?" I asked and Tony nodded again.

"Yes, and if you want, you can have a talk with your mum and you can tell her what you want to happen." Pepper said I'm guessing that that means I can't go. Well I'm not going to argue about it, I don't know if I want to go. It just would have been nice if I had the option.

Then mum starts going up the stairs followed by Pepper, then by Tony and then me, but then I had an idea and stopped Tony when he was only half way up the stairs.

"Look, I know this is really awkward and that's mostly because I'm older and we spent so many years apart, so why don't we start again? Like completely from the beginning and redo all my birthdays starting from my first. How about, after school tomorrow? Does that sound good?" He smiled.

"Yep that definitely does sound good, I will see you tomorrow Annalisa." I smiled back and as we finished making our way up the stairs.

I then waved as they were leaving the house and said "bye" and they then left.

Mum then sighed and said "well that was a very tiring day."

"Yeah I guess so." I replied and made my way up stairs and took a well deserved shower and then collapsed into bed.

A/N this one is boring I 'am sorry but will get better soon but tell me what you think pretty please.
