Please review more chapters on the way :D Chapter two Jeff drove me home so I could pick up some clothes and other things that I needed before we went back to his house, "hey Riley your mom said something about a box" Jeff said breaking the silence as we pulled up into the drive way "yeah" I replied with a questioning tone as we got out of the car "well she said we needed to grab it" he said shrugging his shoulders "ok" I replied as we walked into the house. Half an hour later we arrived at back at Jeff's place "Riley" Matt said almost jumping off the couch as I walked through the front door "Matt" was all I could say as he pulled me close for a hug. After we finished putting all my stuff in the spare room, which was basically my room since I stayed over allot, we all sat down in the lounge room around the box "should we open it?" Matt asked as I ran my hand over the lid "yep" I replied as I slowly lifter the lid off to reveal a small black journal, a heap of photos mainly of me when I was a baby and a whole heap of other stuff "hey this guy looks like dad" Matt said as he picked up a photo out of the box "it dose too but why would my mom have a picture of your dad?" I asked "hey Riley this has your name on it" Jeff said as he held a pink envelope in front of me and I took it off him and stared at it for what felt like years "Riley. earth to Riley" Matt said as he waved his hands in front of my face as I snapped back to reality "what is it?" Jeff asked as a worried look crossed his face "this. this has the answer" I replied "the answer to what?" Jeff asked all confused "the answer to who my father is. the big dark secret mom's been keeping from me for years" I replied as I wiped my face "well are you going to open it or shall I?" Matt asked as he shuffled over to where I was sitting "you" I replied as I handed it to him and he opened it. "It's a letter. do you want me to read the whole thing or just the part about who your father is?" Matt asked as I pulled myself up on the couch "just the dad part" I replied as I tried to hold in the tears that were starting to form again "ok your dad is. oh my god. your dad is Gilbert Hardy!!" Matt said in shock as I stood up "if this is supposed to be a joke it's not funny" I replied as I snatched the letter out of his hands "do you see me laughing" she said still in a state of shock and Jeff the same. "What's going on kids?" Gill said as he walked through the door unaware of what was going on "your. you're my father" I said as I turned around to face him with tears in my eyes "what" he replied shocked "I.I gotta go" I said quickly as I dropped the letter and photo on the floor and ran out the back door. "Riley. Riley wait" Jeff yelled as he chased after me "leave me alone" I yelled back as I kept running towards the gate "Riley" he yelled once more before tackling me to the ground, "I cant deal with this Jeff. I just cant" I said as I burst into tears "come on lets go back inside" he said as he wiped away my tears an pulled me up "I cant go back in there" I replied "you can and you will" he said as he grabbed my hand and we walked back inside to where Gilbert was sitting on the couch looking at all my baby pictures "why didn't you say anything. after all these years?" I asked as I stood in front of him "Riley sit down" he replied softly as he patted the seat next to him "um we'll go make some drinks or something" Matt said as he grabbed Jeff by the arm and dragged him out of the room. "well you see sixteen years ago your mother and I had an affair well it was more of a one night stand really but I did care deaply for your mother. anyway a few weeks later I heard she was pregnant so I tried ringing her and everything but she wouldn't talk to me. so after a few months had past I recived a letter from her saying that you wernt my baby and to stop trying to contact her I respected her choice and did just that. but everyday I saw you I always had a feeling I was your father you looked so much like the boys when you were little heck you still do" he said as he looked at me and I could see all the pain and sadness in his eyes and I started to cry for the millionth time "im sorry for taking so long Riley. I just didn't want to step on your mothers toes so to speak" he said as he put his arm around me and I hugged him back "um I have something to tell you dad" Jeff said as he sat down on the edge of the couch "Abby asked me to say sorry to you on behalf of her" he added as a tear trickled down gills Jeff's cheek and gill wiped it away "thanks son" he replied as he patted him on the shoulder and then looked down at Riley who had fallen asleep. I rolled over I bed unable to sleep so I got up and walked into Matt's room "you ok?" he asked as I walked through the door and I shook my head "no" I replied "come here" he said lifting the blankets up so I could get in, a few minutes later Jeff came in to see what was going on "there were two in the bed and the little one said roll over roll over" Jeff sang and he too slid in under the covers. The next morning Gill opened the door to Matt's bedroom and smiled at the site of all three of his children sleeping peacefully in the same bed.
