A/N- 2nd chapter already out! Its basically about how D.J. confronts Danny.
A lot of D.J. and Danny's POVs.... Sorry its rather short.
Chapter 2- Is it true, daddy?
D.J. dropped the paper to her feet. No way, this can't be happening she thought. I am not adopted I...can't be. D.J. leaned over and picked up the paper again, thrusting the closet door closed again behind her angrily. She pushed the boxes in front of it again tears filling up her eyes. She raced around the boxes and items and ran right down the attic stairs and out the door. As D.J. entered her room she collapsed on the bed hysterical. She tried to make sense of the situation in a different way but couldn't. How could her father of done this to her? How could he? She had to find out! She jumped off her bed and pulled herself together before starting out of her room and downstairs.
Danny was in the living room with Joey watching a football game. He looked up as D.J. entered the room. It was clear she had just been crying and he instantly thought maybe going into the attic was too much of a reminder of Pam, D.J.'s mother.
"D.J., honey, are you okay?" Danny asked starting to put his hand around D.J.'s shoulder.
"Do I look okay, dad?" D.J. shouted pushing his hand away, "Maybe you meant to tell me something a long time ago?!?"
"What are you talking about D.J.?" Danny questioned, but in his heart he had a good idea what the answer was.
"THIS!" D.J. screamed throwing the certificate at her father and letting out her emotions with a fit of bawling, "How could you have lied to me my whole life?" D.J. said with a tone that expressed all her fear, sadness, and anger towards her father at the moment, "HOW DAD?" D.J. fell exhausted onto the couch.
Danny looked at the paper. He hadn't seen it in years. He remembered the day he put it in the firebox in the attic's closet. Pam had warned him that it was a mistake to keep hiding this from D.J., but Danny had shrugged it off and said that they could tell her when she was older and would understand better. Then Pam died, and "they" couldn't tell D.J. anymore. He could tell D.J. but no time did it really sound right. Especially when they were all coping with Pam dying and their lives changing so much and with Michelle growing up without a mother and Stephanie and D.J. having to continue growing up without Pam. He didn't know how they could cope with another thing on top of it all.
"Oh D.J...." Danny said feeling pity wash over him.
"Oh D.J., that's all you can say dad?" D.J. said in disbelief, "It's true?!?!" she was so sure he'd have an excuse she was in pure shock.
"Yes, its true D.J., I can't keep it from you anymore honey, you...you were adopted sweetheart." Danny said reaching out for D.J. again just to be pushed away yet again.
"Why...why didn't you tell me?"D.J. choked out.
"At the time when it would have been right you had just lost your mother and we were going through so much, it just wasn't right to set another burden on you then." Danny said as Joey got up and walked out of the room knowing that he needed to let them talk.
"So were you ever going to tell me, dad?" D.J. said steaming.
"Yes, but I don't know when D.J. honestly, it never seemed like a good time." Danny said feeling like a failure, "I'm sorry, D.J."
"I can't believe you and it never would have been right dad, besides my real mother could very well be alive!" D.J. cried out running up to her room and leaving Danny stunned behind.
In her room, D.J. felt terrible about saying the last comment about her mom. Inside, she felt at the same time she was right though. Out there, somewhere she had a mother probably and she had a chance at meeting her now. D.J. suddenly knew she had to find her.
