Chapter •26•
《Peyton》I just got to my parents house and I get out of my car and get the puppy out of my car and walk to the door and knock on the door when the door opens I'm met with the faces of my mother and father they don't say a word but they move to the side to let me in so I walk in and walk to the living room and put the puppy cage on the couch then I look at my parents OK mom, dad care to tell me what the hell is going on?
《Elizabeth and Robert》Like we told you over the phone you were a twin but the docter told us he died shortly after you two were born
《Peyton》Did you actually see his body for yourselves to see if he really did die?
《Elizabeth and Robert》We asked to see him but the doctor told us that they already discarded the body so when they brought us you they also brought us a death certificate to fill out for your brother, but you don't think he's dead do you, you think the guy that you told us about over the phone could be your twin brother?
《Peyton》Yeah I do but if he is my twin brother who would have the motive to kidnap him and stage it as a death, mom, dad do you two have any enemies from your past?
《Robert》I do, you see I was dating this girl before I met your mother her name was Rosalie Gibson we dated for about 4 years Rosalie wanted to have a baby and I agreed after multiple times of trying she couldn't conceive she blamed me and that put a big gap in our relationship and the gap kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger to the point that we broke up and she still blamed me even after we broke up then a year after Rosalie and I broke up I met your mother we started dating and then a year after we started dating we decided to get married then a year after we were married your brother Dillon was born 2 years after Dillon was born Cole was born then 7 years after Cole was born you and Leyton were born
《Peyton》Do you think Rosalie would have been pissed off at you enough to kidnap Leyton?
《Robert》Now that I think about it I think she might, but anyway do you think Leyton is still at the park?
《Peyton》I think so let me just call Rowan and see, they nod and I get up and walk to the kitchen and call Rowan
Phone call Rowan and Peyton
《Rowan》Hello Peyton how is it going with your parents?
《Peyton》It's OK, hey is Leyton still there?
《Rowan》Yeah he is his daughter don't want to leave she's having too much fun playing with our daughters
《Peyton》OK good I'm bringing my parents to meet him I'll see you in a bit I love you
《Rowan》Wait did you just say that you love me?
《Peyton》I-I know it's not what you wanted to hear over the phone I do love you
《Rowan》No no it's OK and I love you too see you in a bit by
End of call
《Peyton》I just got off the phone with Rowan and Leyton is still at the park so I walk back to the living room, OK mom, dad Leyton is still at the park apparently his daughter does not want to leave my kids or Rowan's daughter so if you want to go to the park and meet him then let's go, they get up and I grab the puppy cage and we head out to our cars we get in our cars and head to the park once we get to the park we get out of our cars and head over to where Rowan, Leyton and the girls are when we get to the sandbox I hear Josephine and Julie say
《Josephine and Julie》Nana, papa what are you doing here?
《Elizabeth and Robert》Oh we just wanted to come and see our beautiful beautiful granddaughters we also need to see someone would you like to introduce us to your friends?
《Josephine and Julie》Sure nana, papa this is our friend from school Jasmine and this is our new friend Sapphire
《Elizabeth and Robert》Nice to meet you girls, once the girls introduce us to their friends we look over beside Rowan and there's another guy that looks identical to Peyton so we walk up to him and say hi you must be Leyton?
《Leyton》Yeah I am and you 2 are?
《Elizabeth and Robert》Oh um we are Elizabeth and Robert Meyer nice to meet you
《Leyton》You too, I look at Sapphire, Sapphire honey are you ready to go home?
《Sapphire》No daddy can we stay please? I give him my best puppy dog eyes
《Leyton》Oh no not the puppy dog eyes you know daddy can't resist the puppy dog eyes oh fine another 20 minutes she gets excited and she gets up and gets out of the sandbox and starts jumping up and down for Joy it making us all laugh and I say OK OK my little jumping bean get back in the sandbox and play with your friends then I look at Elizabeth and Robert and they say
《Elizabeth and Robert》So Leyton tell us about yourself?
《Leyton》Well 2 months ago I was volunteering at an orphanage and I seen this very adorable little girl sitting in the corner all by herself not associating with any other kid or anybody for that matter so I walked over to her and just sat with her there was something about her that drew me to her, and once I heard her heart breaking backstory I knew I needed to adopt her and no she doesn't have a mother and yes she knows that she's adopted but once I adopted her that was when my volunteering at the orphanage stopped and now I'm working at the police station no field work as of yet but I'm not complaining because my hours are flexible so I can be home with Sapphire whenever she needs me, but I don't want to get in depth of her backstory because every time I tell it it kills my heart even more, but I can relate to her adoption because I'm adopted too
《Robert》Do you mind me asking who your adoptive mother is?
《Leyton》No not at all my adoptive mother's name is Rosalie Gibson right after I said that Robert looked at me, are you OK?
《Robert》Did you say Rosalie Gibson? He nods, I know her
《Leyton》How do you know my adoptive mother, and why do I look like your son Peyton?
《Robert》Well as to how I know your adoptive mother is because I used to date her years ago but we broke up, and then I met my wife now Elizabeth we had our oldest Dillon then our second oldest Cole and then 7 years after we had Cole we had twins boys Peyton and Leyton but you see our doctor at the time told us that our son Leyton died right after birth
《Leyton》Wait back up you and your wife named your other son Leyton?
《Robert》Yes we did, and we have reason to believe that you are our son
《Leyton》That can't be, because my adoptive mother told me that my birth mother died in childbirth and that my birth father never wanted me after he lost my birth mother
《Robert}Can I ask you something?
《Leyton》Sure
《Robert》Did you ever see an adoption certificate anywhere in the house that you grew up in?
《Leyton》Come to think of it no there was nothing, that I seen anyway, and you think I'm your son?
《Elizabeth and Robert》Yes we do
《Leyton》I sit there in shock at what I just heard until my phone rang and startled me so I look at my phone and the caller ID says that it's my adoptive mother will you excuse me I have to take this call, and can you watch Sapphire for me? They nod their heads yes so I get up and walk away from them to answer my phone
Phone call (Rosalie and Leyton)
《Leyton》Hello?
《Rosalie》}Hey son your dad and I are wondering if you and Sapphire would like to come over for supper?
《Leyton》Sure when?
《Rosalie》Tonight at 6:30
《Leyton》Sure but I have to take care of something first
《Rosalie》OK son see you two tonight love you
《Leyton》Bye
End of call
《Leyton》When I get off the phone I walk back over to the sandbox and sit down, I want a DNA test
《Elizabeth and Robert》Sure we can do that, when?
《Leyton》Well I have to go to a dinner at Rosalie and Emmett's place at 6:30 tonight so I'm free right now if you have time today?
《Elizabeth and Robert》Yeah we do let's go we get up and we hear Leyton say to Sapphire
《Leyton》Sapphire honey come on it's time to go
《Sapphire》But daddy I want to stay and play with my new friends
《Elizabeth and Robert》Leyton if she wants to stay and play with her new friends then she should Peyton and Rowan can watch her it won't take that long he nods and looks at Sapphire and says
《Leyton》OK baby you say with Peyton and Rowan and do as they tell you to do OK? She nods so I kiss her head and look at Peyton and Rowan watch over my daughter please, they nod and I walk with Elizabeth and Robert to our cars and we get in our cars and head to the hospital when we get to the hospital we get out of our cars and walk into the hospital and Elizabeth and Robert say to the hospital receptionist
《Elizabeth and Robert》Hi we are looking for a doctor for a DNA test? The receptionist nods and calls for a doctor then she looks at us and says
《Lynn》She'll be right with you, they nod and walk over to the waiting room chairs, about 10 minutes after I saw Violet coming
《Lynn》Hey Violet Elizabeth and Robert Meyer are here with some guy looking for a DNA test, she nods and walks over to them
《Violet》Hi Elizabeth and Robert I hear you are looking for a DNA test?
《Elizabeth and Robert》Yes we are, you see we have reason to believe that this young man here is our son
《Violet》After they said that I look at the guy with them and I could swear it was Peyton so I look at Elizabeth and Robert alright let's go right this way all 3 of them get up and follow me into a room once we get in the room I get 3 swabbing sticks and look at the 3 of them okay open your mouths and I'll just swab your cheeks they open their mouths and I swab their cheeks once that is done I look at them and say I'll be right back they nod and I walk out of the room and walk up to Lynn hey Lynn can you take this to the DNA lab and put a rush on it please?
《Lynn》You got it Violet I take the DNA test and take it to the DNA lab once the DNA test are ready I walk back to the room and hand her the DNA test results
《Violet》Thank you Lynn she gives me a thumbs up indicating your welcome then she walks out of the room and I turn back to Elizabeth, Robert and Leyton well Elizabeth and Robert, Leyton is 100% your son
《Elizabeth, Robert and Leyton》Oh my god really? She nods, thank you so much
《Violet》It was my pleasure have a good day, they nod and get up and leave the room and I get back to work I walk out of the room to get my next patient
