Ok, here's chapter 5, you know, I just realized, I always start my author's notes w/ ok, lol


anniefan: don't worry, I'll try not to do that too often, but like I said before, it was just too tempting

Babs567: Yeah, go back to the first chapter-you know how Lucy can be way too emotional. But don't worry, once she meets back up with her family she'll realize what an idiot she was

heavenly fun: lol, here you go, and thanx for the review

Emma-Lizzy-Black: lol, I know a Harry Potter fan when I see one

Chapter Five: Secrets Revealed

Okay, deep breathing, Mary told herself. "Oh, really?" she said, trying to think of a cover up of what she had just said. "Are you Kevin or Patty's daughter?"

Mary hated to ask, but she knew she had to. This girl might be the only chance she would ever get to have her sister back. This was God's answer to her prayers. It was his answer to everyone's prayers. She took in a deep breath and braced herself for the answer she knew was coming.

Melissa looked at Mary in wonder, dazed as to why she would ask such a question. "Um, I'm Kevin's daughter. Why?" she asked.

Crap! Mary thought, knowing what she had gotten herself into. "Oh, um, no reason. I used to date your uncle. He's a great guy." She tried desperately to get herself out of the trap she had created. "So, um…would you girls like anything to eat? Just help yourselves. Ariel and Andrea know where the food is." she added to Melissa, walking briskly out of the room.


Mary headed into Matt and Sarah's room; knowing that Matt would have a picture of Lucy somewhere. She eventually found one in the bottom of his bedside table drawer. But as she made to shut the door, someone entered.

"Mary?" Matt asked, seeing is little sister rummaging through his things.

"Oh! Matt, hi. Um, I was just leaving." Mary told him, hiding the picture of her little sister behind heer back.

Matt looked her in the eye and she knew she was busted.

"Not with my picture of Lucy your not. You have your own." Matt said a cold tone in his voice. As Ariel had said, no one liked to talk about the missing Camden.

Mary sighed and sat down on the bed. She should have known she couldn't hide something like this.

"Matt, listen." she began. "It seems that the dynamic duo have acquired a new friend."

"So?" Matt asked; his confusion apparent in his tone.

"Did you see the extra girl in the kitchen?"

Matt sighed. "What are you getting at Mary? Do you really think that she's Lucy's daughter? I mean, Kinkirk could be a pretty popular name."

Although he said this, there was a huge doubt in his mind. The girl did look an awful lot like Lucy.

"Look, I'll have Sarah get the number from Ariel if that's what you want."

"Thank you so much Matt!" Mary squealed, giving her brother a hug. "I swear! I know it's her daughter!"


Well, I'm sorry to say this, but my internet connection is down, so I'm gonna have to post this later, the good news is that I'll have more time to write another chapter. ttyl
