Mark looked at Hannah with a worried expression. She wasn't saying anything. She just sat there.

"Hannah baby, are you all right?" Mark asked kissing her cheek.

"Umm yea, I'm just kinda in shock, is all." Hannah said. She was thinking how this explained so much in her life, the feeling of not belonging and not fitting in with her family, the feeling of being an outsider. The way she had been drawn to Joey, it all made sense now. The fact that Janet was her mother, she had seen pictures around the house of Janet growing up. Her father would get all tense if she asked about them and say it was his sister but that she had died young and he didn't like to talk about it. The first thing she had to do was talk to Joey, he must be so upset, or did he even know, Mark hadn't said.

"Mark does Joey know?" Hannah said.

"Yea, he's the one that called me and told me. Seems Ruth had a moment of good conscience and decided to spill the beans to Joey, he is in shock." Mark said.

Poor Joey, he must be a mess right about now, she had to call and talk to him.

Mark was beginning to worry, Hannah wasn't saying much of anything.

"So Joey and Janet were seeing each other?" Hannah said.

"Yea from what Joey told me they were in love. All Joey ever knew was that Janet took off and Bradley later told him Janet was killed in a car crash." Mark said.

Mark saw the anger in her eyes.

"Bradley decided not to tell Joey about you and he and Ruth adopted you, Janet had died giving birth." Mark said.

"That lousy bastard!" Hannah exclaimed and jumped up.

Mark was more than a little shocked at her reaction. He expected tears not anger.

Hannah grabbed her clothes and began throwing them on.

"Hannah." Mark said.

She didn't answer just sat down and put her tennis shoes on.

"Hannah!" Mark said a little louder.

"What?" She said looking up at him.

He went and sat down beside her.

"Hannah, do you need to cry or talk about this?" Mark asked.

"Mark, do I look like I need to cry? She asked a little irritated with him.

"What I need to do is give Bradley a piece of my mind, but that will have to wait till I get back, right now I'm going to call Joey, he's probably upset, worried about me, I need to talk to him." Hannah said getting up. She grabbed her room keys and left without another word.

Mark sighed. He hadn't expected Hannah to act like that. His feelings was a little hurt that she seemed mad at him and wouldn't let him help her. Mark got up and started to get dressed, he would just let her blow off some steam and wait for her to come to him. He guessed he just needed to play it by ear and just be here for her when she needed him.

Hannah waited impatiently for Joey to pick up the phone.

"Hello." She heard Joey say.

She hadn't thought about what she was going to say to him and she froze up.

"Hello." Joey said again.

"Joey." Hannah said almost shyly.

"Baby girl, are you all right?" Joey asked.

"Yea, I'm just really mad at Bradley." Hannah said.

"I know baby, I'm afraid I went over there and punched his lights out before I thought about it." Joey said.

Hannah found herself laughing.

"Hannah surely yer not laughing about that, I really shouldn't have done that." Joey said.

"Well its just that was my first reaction too." Hannah said smiling.

"I guess were more alike than we thought." Joey said.

"I guess we are." Hannah said.

"Joey?" Hannah asked.

"Yea baby girl?" He said.

"Are you disappointed ya know that I'm your daughter?" Hannah asked in a small scared voice.

"Little girl, don't ya ever think that, I loved yer mama so much, and knowing that yer a part of her and me makes me happier than anything, I couldn't ask for a better daughter and yer mama would be so proud of ya. The only thing I'm angry about is that I had to miss yer whole childhood, I wish I could have raised ya baby." Joey said.

Hannah heard his voice break and she felt tears in her eyes.

"Me too." Hannah said.

"Hannah I hope this don't change things between me and you, I already loved ya girl." Joey said.

"Of course it's going to change things." Hannah said.

Joey felt his heart drop, he couldn't lose her now.

"How could it not change things, you're my daddy now." Hannah said.

Joey had tears running down his cheeks and so did Hannah.

It took Joey a moment to collect himself.

"I didn't want Mark to tell ya, but I guess it was for the best, he said ya got married and he couldn't keep something like this from ya."  Joey said.

Hannah felt a swell of love for Mark; she knew she could always trust him.

"Are ya happy baby being married to Mark I mean?" Joey asked.

"Yes, happier than I ever been in my life." Hannah said.

"I have to go, but when I get back, you'll be the first stop I make." Hannah said.

"All right, I love ya girl." Joey said.

"I love you too." Hannah said.

She hung up the phone. She needed to go find Mark, she felt bad about blowing up at him, and none of this was his fault. She turned and went to go find him.
