I had a reviewer who caught what seemed like a mistake. It was about Oliver's middle name, Orson. It is not a mistake, and you'll find out in this chapter why it is.

Chapter 14

Family Ties

Oliver woke up early on Saturday, Feburary 1st. He didn't have to go into work, which made him happy. He planned on spending time with his wife, and looking for his parents and sister. He looked over on the other side of the bed to find his wife sleeping peacefully. He got up trying not to distrub his wife, which he did successfully, thankfully his wife was a heavy sleeper. He went downstairs and told the kitchen to make pancakes for breakfast. He then went outside for a quick jog. By the time he arrived back at the house, Miley was already up and downstairs. They walked into the dining room together as the cook brought out the first batch of pancakes. "Lily called while you were out."

"What she want?"

"She was just curious on how your search for your parents is going."

"Oh! What did you say to her?"

"I told her, I didn't know. You have left me in the dark on the subject, Oliver."

"I guess I have. I've been working with Tim lately. He's been checking things out for me. He should be back soon with information." They were quite the remainder of breakfast.

"Well, I'm going for a swim," said Miley.

"I think I'll join you."

"Don't forget, today's Christine's surprise birthday party at our house. Thank god, it's only going to be family, on both sides. So there are probably going to be people who we don't even know from Haley's family."

"Thanks for reminding me. The cake should be here around noon, Jonas knows what to do. Guests arrive at one, birthday girl arrives at one-thirty."

"That sounds like everything. Let's go get dressed." They went up to their room and got dressed. Miley on the way up went to the baby's room to make sure everything was ready for them to arrive. Even though it was still three months away, and they had everything, Miley still checked the room about three times a day. Both Miley and Oliver went down the slides, and then swam a little bit. Around 11:30 they went in for a small lunch of soup and sandwiches. The cake arrived on schedule. Miley said to Oliver, "Christine is going to like it. It's perfect for a three year old."

"Yeah, I agree," said a voice in the dark. Tim walked out of the darkness. "It is very beautiful."

"Do you ever use the door, Tim," asked Miley?

"Sometimes."
"What do you want?"

"I came for Christine's birthday party. Also, I need to talk to your husband." Seeing Miley's face of curiousity, "Alone, it's about his parents."

Seeing that she wasn' t wanted, "Fine, Oliver will probably tell me later anyways!" And with that she walked out of the room.

"What information do you have about my parents?"

"I found them."

"Where? Are they coming?"

"I'm afraid not, Oliver."

"How come?"

"I'm sorry to say this, but I feel you need to know."

"Know what?"

"The reason you and your sister were put up for adoption was because your parents died in a car accident shortly after you were born."

"Oh, and my sister?"

"I haven't found her, but she is currently living somewhere in Malibu."

"You've got to be joking?"

"Dead serious. I found something else very interesting about you."

"What's that?"
"You know your middle name Orson?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"It isn't your only middle name."

"You're saying I have two middle names?"

"Yeah."

"What's my other middle name?"

"Oscar."

"That is very interesting. How do you know all this stuff?"

"Just like your wife, I delivered you and your sister."

"This is getting more intersting by the minute."

"You have no idea."

"Do you have a name?"

"Sorry. I plan to continue looking after the party."

"Thank you. Use the door next time, please."

"I'll try, no guarentees." He left the room.

"Miley, you can come back in." Miley walks in.

"I heard it all. Sorry about your real parents."

"Yeah, me too. I just wish I knew who my sister was."
"Well, you better calm down, because the guests will be arriving in about ten minutes."

"Right. Let's head back to the pool area." They went out to the backyard and waited for people to show up. First to arrive were Chris and Lily. A few minutes later, Jackson, George, Wendy, Helen and Rylie arrived. Then various people from Haley's side of the family arrived. Most of them were little kids, whom Miley recognized as her cousins by marriage, even though she hadn't seen them for a few years. Everyone got into the pool, and waited for the birthday girl to arrive. Everyone hid, when the signal was hidden. Christine walked out in her bathing suit with Robbie and Haley.

Christine said, "Where is everyone?"

She got her answer, "Surprise," said people jumping out from all over the place. "Happy Birthday, Christine!" Christine looked shocked.

"Thanks, everyone." She then ran over to Miley and gave her sister a big hug. "Thanks, Miley."

Miley turned to her dad, "When did she learn to say my name?"

"A couple of weeks ago."

"We wanted it to be a surprise for you," said Haley.

"Thank you. Everyone, can hop back into the pool. If you want to go down the slide follow me." Almost everyone followed. Miley led the group to the fourth floor, to the slide room. "Everyone, there are three slides. If you are five years or younger, you need to go down with someone who is ten or older. There is a little red light that will turn on when the next person can go. I'll take Christine. Who else wants to go?"

"I will," said Jackson.

"Me, too," said a ten year old.

"Why don't you take one of the five and younger kids with you?"

"Okay." A little girl, who I could only assume was his sister walked over to the slide. The first three went down. Eventually everyone had a turn. They played a few games of volleyball, before the food was ready.

"Let's go inside for some food," said Miley. They all did, and they had some cake and ice cream afterward. Then it was time to open presents.

"I've waited for this moment all day," said Christine.

"I bet you have," said Robbie tickling his daughter. Christine was very pleased with what she received. She received various toys, clothes, movies, shoes, etc.

After she opened her last present, Christine said, "Thanks everyone for the presents." Shortly there after, people started heading home. Chris left, but Lily stayed behind to talk with Miley and Oliver.

Lily said, "Do you ever get the feeling that the one thing you are looking for is closer than you think?"

"All the time," replied Oliver.

"You too are just crazy," said Miley.

"Well, at least I have a smaller area to cover to find my sister, since she is in Malibu."

"Same here. I just wish I knew where."

"Don't we all," said Miley, slightly bored. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to bed. I've had a long day."
"Goodnight, honey."

"Goodnight, Oliver. Goodnight, Lily."

"Goodnight, Miley." Miley went upstairs. "She's been acting strangely, lately."

"Trust me, you have no idea, Lily. She's been acting strange since she got pregnant. She checks the baby room no less than three times a day."

"Wow, I probably do it twice. It's usually to figure out what we still need."

"Well, we have everything."

"Oh. That is strange."

"Not as strange as what I am about to tell you," said a voice in the corner.

"What are you talking about Tim," asked Lily.

"Oh, I'll tell you."

A/N. Cliffhanger. Here are the questions. What information did Tim share with Lily and Oliver? Who are Lily and Oliver's sister?(No they are not related) Why does Lily feel that her sister is closer than she thinks? Please R&R. No guarentees that this is my last cliffhanger. Hope you enjoyed.

Preview: A few months later at Jackson and Rylie's wedding.
