Silence was filled the room. Mitchell and Cameron were already looking at Lily like she was crazy. Then, they both looked at Lily and exhaled.
"I know this is hard on you guys, but, it would be really nice for me to learn about where I came from. I thought it would be good for me to know who my biological family is.", said Lily.
"But what about our family? Lily, don't you remember all the special things we did together!?",shouted Cameron.
He looked like he was about to cry.
"Papa, it's okay. Don't cry…",said Lily softly.
She was about to comfort her father.
"Lily, you don't understand how much your question has hurt your Papa! We are your family!", yelled Cameron.
"I know you guys are my family and I'm grateful for everything you have given me! It will be really nice if I get to meet my biological family.",explained Lily.
"I understand where you coming from, but, don't you love THIS family?",asked Mitchell.
Lily went quiet. Of course she loved this family. She very much remembered how when her Dads had told her that her first word was "Mommy" by accident. It made her embarrassed each day thinking what her fathers must've been thinking. Then, the next mental picture of when she was a child, she believed that her real mom was a princess. That made her laugh. When she heard all the stories from her step-grandmother, when Lily was young brought back her warm feelings about the people who raised her. Another laugh when she thought she was gay, because her Dads are. Some of the stories,(which made Lily cringe) , were better left alone. Whenever Lily thinks about these memories, she still wonders each day about where she came from. She could see that this must have hurt her family in some wayor another. Lily, faced with all this turmoil, would still like to know more about who she is.
"Of course I love this family, Dad…",began Lily.
Mitchell cut her off,
"Lily, you don't know how much this will hurt our family! We are not ready for that kind of stuff yet!", yelled Mitchell.
"You guys don't understand! I'm 18! I'm allowed to search for my biological family!",shouted Lily.
"Lily, listen to what your father said!", yelled Cameron.
"No, you can't tell me what to do anymore! I'm 18! I do want I want! I hate you both!",yelled Lily.
She ran off to her room while as Cameron and Mitchell stood shocked from what she had just said.
