Chapter 2: The Day Everything Changes

Back in present time.

Jake wakes up from the sunlight hitting him in the face. He gets up to close his shades, rubs his head and goes back to sleep. Mike comes in his room and jumps on him.

"Mike, it's Saturday." Jake groaned.

"And yesterday was Friday, what's your point?" Mike asked him.

"My point is I like to sleep in on Saturday and Sunday." Jake replied pulling the covers over his head.

Sarah walks in and takes the covers off his head.

"Now, what?" Jake moaned.

"Mom says she wants all three of us downstairs now." Sarah told them.

"We didn't do anything. Did we?" Mike then asked them.

"I don't remember doing anything." Jake said to him.

"Let's go downstairs and get this over with." Sarah said to them as she walked out of Jake's room.

Mike follows her and Jake is right behind them. They go downstairs and go into the livingroom.

"Jake, you're not dressed yet?" Tom asked him as he saw Jake in his pajama shirt and boxers.

"I just got up Dad." Jake told him.

"Put on some pants at least." Tom then told him.

"It's not like we have company coming over." Jake said to him.

The doorbell rings and Gunner is at the door barking.

"You were saying?" Mike then smirked.

Jake sighs and goes upstairs to put on a pair of jeans.

Don Callo walks into the house. (He's 6 ft and has black short hair. He's wearing a plain white shirt with jeans and black Nike sneakers on.)

"What did we do that we're going to jail?" Mike asked Tom and Kate as he saw Don walk into the living room.

"Nothing." Don laughed as he sat down.

"Then why are you here?" Sarah then asked him.

"Your parents and I have decided it's time." Don told her.

"Time for what?" Mike then asked them.

"I'm actually your, Sarah and Jake's older brother." Don then told them.

"Welcome to the Baker family." Mike said to him.

"Uh, I'm not a Baker." Don replied.

"Then what are you?" Mike then asked him.

"I'm a Callo just like you, Sarah and Jake." Don finally told them.

"We can't be Callo's we're Bakers." Mike laughed.

"Mike, Sweetheart, you, Sarah and Jake were adopted." Kate told him.

Mike and Sarah are in shock.

"What'd I miss? What?" Jake asked as he came back downstairs.

They tell Jake and now Jake is in disbelief.

"That went well." Don said to Tom and Kate.

"Are they still just sitting there?" Tom asked Kate.

"Yeah." Kate replied as she saw Mike, Jake and Sarah still sitting in the livingroom.

"Let's give them a day or two to let this sink before I come back." Don said as he left.

Jake, Sarah and Mike are quiet for the rest of the day. That night Jake is lying in his bed and can't sleep.

"Can't sleep either?" Jake asked Mike as he came in his room.

"How did you know it was me?" Mike then asked him.

"Only you and Sarah come in my room this late." Jake smiled.

"Is Sarah in here?" Mike then asked him.

"No." Jake said to him.

"I am now." Sarah said as she came into his room.

Sarah sits on Jake's bed next to Mike who was hugging his stuffed dog.

"Can you believe that we're adopted?" Sarah then asked them.

"Maybe that's why we're as close as we are." Mike said to them.

"Maybe." Jake yarned.

"That has to be the reason. I say that we ask Don why we were given up for adoption." Sarah said to them.

"And adopted by the same family." Mike then added.

"Mike, we were given to the same family for a reason." Sarah said to him.

"Why?" Mike then asked her.

"That's what we need to find out." Sarah then replied.

"No way Dudes." Jake said to them.

"No way what?" Sarah asked him.

"No way I'm finding out why we got dumped. I'm happy here and couldn't care less about Don being our older brother." Jake told them.

"Jake, don't you want to know why we were given to the Bakers?" Mike then asked him.

"Again I could care less. If they didn't want us in the first place what makes you two think they'd want us now?" Jake then asked them.

"Well me and Mike are going to Don's house tomorrow and finding out if you don't want to come that's your problem not ours." Sarah said as she left Jake's room and goes back to her room.

"Jake, why don't you want to know about our real parents?" Mike asked him.

"Because I don't!" Jake snapped at him.

Mike leaves Jake's room and goes back to his room. They all fall asleep in their own rooms. Mike and Sarah fall asleep wondering what they going to ask Don tomorrow and Jake fell asleep wondering why his real parents gave him up for adoption.
