Jesse, Noah, and Riley were walking home from school when a group of 11th-grade boys walked up to them.

"Well well well if it isn't Riley Rollins and who are these little one?" The guy name Mike asked

"My little brother and sister." Riley said

"Oh, so they are your adopted brother and sister." The smaller boy name Elijah said

"No." Riley said

"Are you sure?" Mike questioned

"Yes, I'm sure. What the hell do y'all want?" Riley asked

"Because we just want to know if you were adopted." James said

"Why would you think I'm adopted?" Riley asked as she raised one of her eyebrows.

"Well because both of your parents are white and also they are lesbian. You are black which makes you adopted. That goes with this little guy over here. He likes nothing like his mothers. They've been lying to you both." Elijah said

"Fuck off you jackass." Riley said as Jesse, Noah, and Riley started walking home.

4:05 pm Rollins-Benson household

Amanda was sitting on the couch with Billie when Riley, Jesse, and Noah walked into the house.

"Hey guys, how was school?" Amanda asked

"It was okay." Riley said

"It was fun." Jesse said as she walked over to Billie.

"It was fine." Noah said as he walked upstairs.

Amanda looked at Riley for an answer.

"Something happened on our way home, and I think Olivia should talk to him." Riley said

"What happened?" Amanda asked

"Just a group of boys that are a grade ahead of me keep saying that we were adopted. Because we look nothing like y'all, especially me. But I do have a question." Riley said

"What is it?" Amanda asked

"I'm adopted?" Riley asked

"What? No, you are not adopted." Amanda said

"Okay, then who is my father?" Riley asked

"Riley, I don't think you are old enough yet." Amanda said

"Not old enough yet im fourteen not a fucking bady." Riley said

"I know that, but Riley i don't just dont want to talk about it yet." Amanda said

Riley just rolled her eyes and walked downstairs.

Amanda just sighed as she watched Riley walk downstairs.

Downstairs

When Riley walked downstairs she was surprised to see Noah sitting outside of her bedroom door.

"What up Noah?" Riley asked as she walked up to Noah.

"Can I ask you a question?" Noah asked

"Sure what is it?" Riley asked

"Do you know if I'm adopted?" Noah asked

"I think that you should talk to your mom about that one." Riley said as they walked into her bedroom.

"So, I'm adopted." Noah said

"Sì, tua madre ti ha adottato quando eri solo un bambino. Va bene." Riley said in Italian hoping Noah did not understand what she just said, but she was wrong.

"So Grandma Sheila was right." Noah said

"What do you mean?" Riley asked

"She told me that someone named Ellie was my real mom. So mommy's been lying to me this whole time." Noah said

"Well no, she was trying to protect you. She did not think that you were ready to hear the truth yet. So don't get mad at her." Riley said

"Fine." Noah said

"Maybe if you asked mom about your real parents she might just tell you. You will never know if you don't try." Riley said

"Okay," Noah said

"So how do you know Italian?" Riley asked

"Well I decided to learn Italian a year because a few of my friends spoke italian." Noah said

"Well now there are two people in this house that know Italian." Riley said as Jesse and Billie ran down the stairs.

"Interesting, Well now there are two people in this house that know Italian." Riley said as Jesse and Billie ran down the stairs.

"Hey, Ry-Ry and Noah, you two come and play with us?" Jesse asked

"Sure." Noah said

"Yeah sure." Riley said as they walked up the stairs

5:00 PM

Olivia walked into the house after a long day at work. She walked into the living room where she found Amanda sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Hey." Olivia said as she kissed Amanda

"Hi." Amanda said

"Where is everyone?" Olivia asked

"They are all up stairs in the gameroom." Amanda said

"Hey, are you okay?" Olivia asked

"Yeah, but I think you should talk to Noah." Amanda said

"Why?" Olivia asked, looking confused.

"Well I think Noah knows he is adopted. When some kids that are a grade ahead of Riley started bullying them because of how they look today on the way home." Amanda said

"Okay, I will talk to him after I get change." Olivia said as she walked into the bedroom.

A few minutes later Olivia found Noah in his room.

"Hi bub." Olivia said as she stood at his bedroom door.

"Hi mommy. Hey, can I ask you something?" Noah asked

"Sure." Olivia said as she sat down next to Noah on the bed.

"Who is my real mother and father?" Noah asked

"Well, Noah, when you were a baby Mama and I rescued you. We found you. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, but I couldn't take you home right away. We didn't know your name or what happened to your birth mom or dad. Then we found Ellie. She loved you so much Noah and she really wanted to be your mommy, but Ellie had some problems. Noah, she was murdered and after that happened a judge needed to decide where you should go. She asked me if I wanted you and I said yes and you've been with me ever since then." Olivia said

"Okay, What about my dad then?" Noah asks.

"Your dad was a very bad man and he did a lot of awful things. I know you're going to be curious, but I don't think you're ready to hear about him. When you're older, I'll tell you the whole story, okay?"

"Okay." Noah said

10:30 PM

The kids and the dog were all asleep. Olivia and Amanda are relaxing in their room.

Olivia had been watching Amanda for the past day because she has been acting weird lately.

"Hey, Manda I was wondering if we could talk about what's been bothering you?" Olivia asked, sitting down on the bed next to the blonde and throwing an arm around her shoulders bringing her in for a hug.

"I'm just thinking that is all." Amanda said

"What have you been thinking about?" Olivia asked

Amanda didn't answer her, she just sat there staring at the wall.

"Is this about Riley asking if she is adopted or not?" Olivia asked

"Well yeah but it's complicated." Amanda said

"If it is so complicated, why did you tell me, only if you want to?" Olivia said

"Well Riley's father isn't a good guy." Amanda said

"You dont think Riley is old enough to learn the truth," Olivia said

"No, it's not that I don't know how she would react if I told her the truth." Amanda said

"What do you mean?" Olivia asked

"I don't really want to talk about it, Liv. Can we please go to sleep." Amanda said

Yeah sure. Night Manda." Olivia said as she kissed Amanda goodnight.

"Night Liv." Amanda said

A/N: English translation- Yes, your mother adopted you when you were just a baby. Okay.
