"I'm not lying. Honey…you kids were adopted."

"Wait, I remember you being pregnant with Max." Justin said.

"Do you remember me being pregnant with Alex?"

Justin racked his brain and sighed. He shook his head and pulled his now shaking sister into his arms.

"You and Alex are brother and sister in blood. That's never going to change. You were both adopted. Max is our only blood son."

Alex curled into Justin clinging to him as tight as she could. She was scared now. What was going to happen to them?

"Tell us everything from the beginning." Justin said.

He was scared too but he had to be brave for Alex.

"I had a hard time getting pregnant. We went to every doctor, I let your dad's brother try all kinds of spells and magic on me, none of that worked. So we decided to adopt. Professor Crumbs helped us out. He told us there was a woman looking to give her two children up for adoption a girl and a boy. She wanted them to stay together so we took you both in."

"How old were we?"

"Alex was very much a toddler, you both were. Alex was two I think and Justin you were four."

"Where did we come from?"

"London, your mother gave you up because there was a dark evil Wizard that was killing all the wizards that got in his path and she wanted you to be safe. So she gave you away."

"So she could be dead?" Alex whispered.

"Yes. We didn't keep in touch."

"How come I don't remember any of this?" Justin asked.

"We had Professor Crumbs take away your memories."

"Why?" Justin growled.

"When we first took the two of you home neither of you trusted us. Alex would only trust you to help her with stuff. Whenever we tried to help her, Justin, you'd stop us. You believed we were bad people trying to hurt you two so you always protected Alex. We knew it was because of your passed life so we had both your memories erased. All you knew was Me and Jerry for parents and each other for siblings and your life was here on Waverly Place."

"You took away our memoires of our old life? You took away any memories we ever had of our real mother."

"I am your real mother."

"No!" Alex screamed. "You're not! That's why you only remembered Max after he was taken away. That's why he's always been your favorite!" Alex looked to Jerry with tears streaming down her cheeks. "That's why when Max was turned into a girl you loved her more than me because he was your real daughter and I was just a place holder until the real thing came along."

"Alex honey, that isn't true! I love you very much. You're my little girl you always will be."

"No, no I'm not. I never was."

"Alex…"

"Leave me alone!"

Alex took off running out of the living room and out of the house. Justin was quick to go after her. Jerry and Teresa sighed.

"Wait, so I'm confused, does this mean I'm an only child?" Max asked.

Jerry and Teresa sighed and looked to Max.

Luckily Alex hadn't gone too far. She was standing in front of the Substation leaning against the wall crying. He went over to her and tried to take her into his arms but she just fought him. "Leave me alone! Let go of me!"

Justin just held her tightly until she gave in and cried into his chest. He hugged her tightly and did what he could to comfort her. This was shock to them both, but he had to be brave for Alex.

"I promise we will figure this out. Together we will figure this out."

Alex just nodded. For once in her life she had no idea what to say.

"Look, Mom and Dad have no idea who our birth-parents are, but there is one person who does. I say we go talk to him."

Alex nodded in agreement.

Justin let one arm go but kept the other around her. "Got your wand?"

Alex reached into her shoe and pulled it out.

"Good, let's go."

They both waved their wands and in a flash they were gone.

They arrived instantly and went into the office.

"Alex, Justin what are you doing here?" Professor Crumbs stood from behind his desk.

"Where is my mom!" Alex asked, like a small lost child.

Justin put his hand on her shoulder. "Professor Crumbs we're sorry to just barge in like this but our par…our mo…" Justin sighed. "We just found out we were adopted and that you knew who our birth parents were. We'd like some answers."

"I do not know of who your birth-parents are. I can however give you the number of another Wizard Professor who helped in handling this adoption."

"Anything you can give us would be great." Justin nodded.

Professor Crumbs wrote down a name and number on a paper and handed it to them. Justin took it. Alex read over his shoulder.

"McGonagall? What kind of name is that?" Alex asked.

"We've never heard of him." Justin said.

"She actually and she is the headmaster at a place Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She helped handle your adoption."

"Like Whiz-Tech?" Alex asked.

Professor Crumbs nodded. "Yes."

"Thank you, Professor."

"Good Luck children."

With a wave of their wand they were gone.

They arrived back outside their house.

"Justin, what if Mom and Dad don't let us call her?" Alex asked.

"They don't have a choice. We're calling this woman and I promise we will find our mother." Justin told her.

"Justin I…I know I teased you a a lot and taunted you and was mean to you and acted like a horrible sister but…but deep down I love you! Please don't leave me." She ended in a whimper.

"Hey, you will always be my little sister, Alex. Nobody is taking you away from me."

"Justin, I…I'm really scared." Alex confessed trying to keep her voice strong.

"I know, I am too. But I promise we will figure this out."

Alex nodded and the two of them shared a hug.

They went inside and everyone was sitting on the couch still.

"We've got the number of the woman who handled the adoption and we're going to call her and get information on our mother. You can try and stop us but you won't get far. We just hope you'll support it."

"We won't stop you, but you both know you aren't traveling to London to meet her. If you want to meet her she needs to come here." Jerry said.

Justin nodded. "That is reasonable."

He took his sister's hand and they went upstairs to the bedroom. They closed the door and sat down on the bed.

"Are you ready?" Justin asked.

Alex nodded.

Justin took the phone and put it in speaker, as he dialed the number. A soft woman's voice answered.

"Hello?"

"Um…Hi, is this Professor McGonagall?"

"Speaking, who is this?"

"My name is Justin Russo. I'm here with my little sister, Alex. Um…we got your number from Professor Crumbs."

"Yes, he and I are good friends. How can I help you children?"

"We just recently found out we were adopted and that you were the one who handled it. We were hoping to get some information on our birth-parents."

"Justin and Alex Russo, I remember you too very well. You're actually famous around here. The only two siblings that were adopted together. Not many siblings were that lucky. Anyway, I'm cannot give out any information…."

"Tell us who our parents are or I'll put a curse you!" Alex demanded pointing her wand at the phone.

Justin sighed and gently pushed his sister's wrist down. "We're desperate, please. Is there anything you can do to help us?"

"Look part of your adoption was that you weren't allowed to contact them and they weren't allowed the contact you. So I cannot give out any information…"

"Please, I'll do anything." Alex begged tears forming in her eyes.

"Please let me finish. Now I cannot give out any information, I can however contact your birth-parents and see if they're interested in meeting with you. If they are, I can set up for you to meet. But that is all I can do to help you."

"That's perfect. Please will you call us and let us know what they say, even if they say no?" Justin asked.

"I will do that."

"Thank you, this number is fine for a callback."

"I'll get back to you both soon."

The line went dead and both Alex and Justin let out a sigh.

"What now?" Alex asked fear in her voice.

Justin sighed once more. "Now we just have to wait."

"What if she doesn't want to meet with us?"

"We will deal with it the best we can."

Alex just sighed. "I hate waiting."

"I know me too."

Justin pulled his sister into his arm and rubbed her back. He was scared to death about what would happen to them but he had to be brave for his sister.

After a little while the phone rang again. Alex grabbed it as she smiled widely. "Hello?" Then she sighed. "No, I'm sorry you have the wrong number."

She hung up and sighed. "It wasn't her."

"Who was it?"

"Wrong number." She mumbled.

Justin sighed. "She'll call. I promise."

Alex laid her head on Justin's lap again. He rubbed her back. If things didn't turn out right he had no idea how they'd get through it.

A few minutes passed and finally the phone rang. Justin grabbed it quickly.

"Hello? Yes this is Justin Russo…" Justin smiled and quickly put the phone on speaker. "It's her."

Alex sat up and smiled.

"All right, children, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want first?"

"Good news." Alex squealed. Justin chuckled.

"I've spoke with your mother. She has recently been thinking about you and wanting to meet with you as well. So with your adopted parent's acceptance you two can meet her."

Alex and Justin smiled at each other. Then Justin frowned. "What's the bad news?"

"Your birth-father died before you were given up for adoption. Your mother was scared she'd lose you too so she gave you away. I'm sorry."

Tears filled Alex's eyes. She had always been a daddy's girl and was curious to meet her real father and now she never would. Justin let his own tears fill his eyes but didn't let them fall. "Thank you for being honest. Can we discuss more about meeting with our mother?"

"Of course. Because of the rules that were set when this went through we need your adopted parents' permission before we get arrange a meeting. So I need to speak with them."

"I understand. Please hold on for just one moment and I'll get them."

Justin took the phone and stood up. Alex followed him but looked nervous. "What if they say no?" she whispered.

"They won't."

They went back into the living room. His parents were in the kitchen making dinner.

"Mom, Dad, we contacted the woman who handled our adoption and she spoke with our birth-mother and in order for us to meet we need your permission. Will you please tell her it's ok?"

Jerry took the phone was Justin's hands.

"This is Jerry Russo…I'm doing well, how are you…yes, my son explained the situation. Before I agree what is the situation to this meeting…well I would prefer to be there and just observe…if she is willing to do that I'll agree to it…yes that would perfect. Thank you very much…you too, good bye."

"Well?" Alex asked nervously once he hung up.

"Your real mother is…"

Theresa cut him off. "I'm their real mother."

Jerry ignored her comment. "She is coming to visit and we will all meet her."

"Then what happens?" Justin asked.

"Well, that is up to you."

"What do you mean?"

"You will have a chance to spend a year in London with them and go to their school and learn about how they do magic. But only if you're comfortable with it."

"And if we agree to it!" Theresa added more strictly.

"No, according to the rules we set when they were younger if they were both older than 13 they could decide if they wanted to go visit her or not. Both of them are older than 13 now so we have no say. They need this Theresa. It's what's best for them."

Theresa just walked out of the room. . Alex looked down at her hands. "This is all my fault. She's so mad at me."

"No, Honey, she's not angry. She's scared. Like you were worried about losing us she is worried about losing the two of you. She isn't mad at you at all." Jerry said.

"I feel bad about hurting her but…I need to meet our real mother. If I don't I'll regret it." Alex sighed.

"You deserve to, Alex. When we told you the truth we knew this would happen. It isn't your fault and all I want you to do….and I can't believe I'm going to say this but….I don't want you to worry about anyone else but yourself. If you want to meet this woman then do it. Don't worry about what your mother or I think ok?"

Alex just nodded. If he had told her to do that a few months ago it would have been easy but now after almost losing her mother once it was harder to not feel a little guilty. What she making the right choice?
