Alisa and Zach each donated some blood for the test. Results should be in soon and neither could wait. To her relief, Alisa had taken a shower and washed out all the dirt. Her hair was lighter and back to its naturally straight style.
"Miranda! I'm so glad you're ok!" a guy said giving her a hug.
"Adam. I'm fine. Don't worry. I'm fine," Miranda said to the young man. She gave him a kiss. "I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"
Adam's phone rang. "Hang on," he said pulling it out. "Hello…Hi Mom…I'm at the hospital…No I'm fine. Miranda was in a wreck…. No she's fine…Yeah I'll be home eventually…O.k., I'll tell her…Bye." Adam hung up. "My mom's worrying about me. As usual."
"Who's that?" Alisa asked Melissa.
"That? Oh, he's Miranda's boyfriend," Melissa explained.
"To say they've had a history since birth is an understatement," Bianca said dryly. "We can all laugh about it now," she continued half-sarcastically.
"I'll explain later," Melissa whispered. "My mom was his godmother. His father is my godfather. Our parents were really good friends. My mother was also Miranda's godmother I think."
"Zach! Zach!" a woman said going over to Melissa's father. Her eyes moved to the floor.
"Who's that?" Alisa asked.
"My step-mom, Julia," Melissa said softly.
"You don't like her?" Alisa asked softly.
"I don't know. She's nice and all…I just feel like he's betraying my mom," she explained. "They married when I was five. I've heard that my mom and her have had a long hatred sort of." Melissa shrugged. "I don't know."
"Zach are you ok?" Julia asked.
"Kendall might be alive."
"What?" Julia asked in disbelief. "How?"
"I don't know."
Two days later, Kendra was still in intensive care and hadn't woken up. The doctors were starting to get worried but tried not to show it. Zach and Melissa stayed at the hospital everyday in hopes that woman would wake and be Kendall. Julia was distraught and worried about her marriage. She wasn't sure whether to hope she was Kendall. She loved her husband but could tell he still loved his long dead wife. She new what it was like to loose a loved one. Erica hoped that her daughter might still be alive just as Bianca and Greenlee hoped that their sister was alive. But perhaps the person who hoped she was Kendall the most was Alisa. She desperately wanted her to be. She'd finally have a family! A family!
"You know our family isn't all its cracked up to be," Melissa said dryly. "Thanksgivings are always fun."
"They don't get along?"
"Hon, I don't think a single family in Pine Valley gets along," Bianca said.
"Get along isn't the right word for it. Families here are…complicated. There's so much history here it isn't funny."
"At least 50 years of history," Bianca said. "People have died, people have moved, people have come back, people have left. There have been murderers and rapists who have called Pine Valley their home. Con artists and identity thieves. Drug dealers and mob boss types. Lies and falsehoods. Attempted murders and suicides. Baby switching and false deaths. Births. And that's just a smidgeon of what Pine Valley's been through."
"Wow. Sounds like a soap. Hey! You know you'd make a lot of money if you did turn this into a soap opera! I'm sure you could get people like Kelly Ripa, Susan Lucci, Eva LaRue, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Mark Consuelos to be in it. You could call it All My Children. Who knows, it could run for 35 years or more," Alisa said.
Bianca laughed. "That just might work. I'll call ABC tomorrow."
"I've got good news and bad news," Dr. Jamie said three days later. Heads picked up. "The DNA test results came in."
"Well? What are they?" Zach asked.
"They came back negative. Zach, you are not Alisa's father," he said quietly.
"How the hell can I not be her father when her mother looks just like my late wife?" Zach yelled.
Thanks so much for telling me what you thought. And I actually agree with most of ya'll.
