Chapter 2
Emily flipped through the old year book titled High school 1993-1994
Matthew looked at his sister "um, Emily what are you doing?"
"Well" Emily continued to flip the pages "if they were all friends in 1994 they might of went to the same high school. Found it" she showed her brother the page "see grade twelve graduates" she started searching for familiar names "hey look Bonnefoy,Francis" she pointed to the picture of the boy with long blond hair and dark blue eyes. "Hey Matt look we have the same colour eyes as him"
"Yeah, but mom says a few people in our family have blue eyes. That doesn't make him our father."
"What if she lied. She lied about dad she probably lied about our eye colour to keep us and her from thinking about who are father is."
"You could be right" Matthew sighed "hey look" he pointed at an other person in the year book "Beilschimidt, Gilbert, isn't that uncle Ludwig's last name."
"I don't remember exactly let's check" Emily marked the page and skimmed back to the grade 11's "yup see right here Beilschimidt, Ludwig" she returned to the page of grade 12's. They kept looking for more familiar names.
"I think I found Antonio" he pointed at a picture of a Spanish boy with a huge smile.
"Carrillo, Antonio. Perfect now had me my laptop" she pointed to the laptop on her bedside table.
"What are you doing now?"
"Finding out were they live, that's why I had to find Antonio's and Gilbert's last name in the year book. Like really Matt sometimes you really have to use your brain." Emily started typing names into the computer "okay write this down Francis Bonnefoy pari-"
Matthew cut her off "let me get some paper first"
"Are you ready now" Emily said irritated as she looked at Matthew.
"Yup go ahead"
"So first Francis Bonnefoy Paris, France
Next Antonio Carrillo Madrid, Spain
And last Gilbert Beilshmit Berlin, Germany "
"Now what?" Matthew stopped writing and looked at his sister.
"Now we forge moms handwriting and send them all letters to come to our weddings"
"Don't you think you're taking this a bit to far"
"Well then what do you think we should write 'come to our weddings you might be our dad' don't you think it's better if they think mom sent it"
"Yeah, but what if mom sees them and finds out what we did"
"We should make sure they all say yes first" Emily put the laptop down, got up and started looking through the drawers of the desk they had in their room. She got out three pieces of paper, a pen and three envelops. She then sat at the desk and started to write all three men's names on the envelopes exactly how their mom would.
"Wow that looks exactly like moms handwriting, how'd you learn how to do that"
"Remember how bad I was failing in history when we were in grade 12" she smiled looking up at her brother.
"Emily that's bad if anyone finds out you could go to jail"
"Yeah sure, that was like two years ago." She paused for a moment "anyways what would mom write to her best friends that were actually all her ex boyfriends and one of them possibly the father of her children that would make them want to go to her daughters and sons weddings." She tapped the pen to the table.
"I don't know" Matthew shrugged
"Whatever I'll just improvise." Emily started writing.
3 days later
Francis
Francis woke up to the alarm clock ringing loudly on his beside table. He pressed the snooze button and walked down the stairs.
"Monsieur Bonnefoy," the maid called out.
"Oui" Francis turned around and scratched his head.
"There is a letter for you from England" the maid held the letter out to him.
Francis took it "merci Adeline" he walked to his study and sat down at his desk. He turned the letter over and saw the name on it and remembered the day all those summers ago 21 years.
he started to read the letter
Francis,
I know it's been a long time, but my daughter and son are having a double wedding. Well anyway seeing them with all their friends made me think of the old days and I wanted my children to meet my old friends, so will you come to their wedding please.
Love,
Alice Kirkland xoxo
"So Alice had kids," Francis laughed a little and though out loud "she always wanted a family." He smiled as he got out paper, an envelop, a pen and wrote a quick reply.
Gilbert
Great it was raining Gilbert looked out his window with a look of disgust on his face days like this reminded him about high school and living in England, the rain in that country never seemed to stop. Gilbert got his coat, ran to the mail box and ran back inside. He looked at his wet pants 'great now I have to change' he thought to himself and let out a huff.
He looked through the mail as he walked up the stairs. He stopped at the top and looked at one of the letters with a questioning look. "Alice?" He opened the letter, but why was Alice trying to contact him after all these years.
Glibert,
It's been long time, my daughter and son are having their weddings in a few weeks and I wanted them to meet a few of my old friends will you please come to their weddings.
Alice Kirkland
Gilbert read the letter again before he smiled and found some paper.
Antonio
"But Lovi why can't I come" Antonio wined though the phone.
"Because the only people who were invited are me, my brother and that idiot Ludwig" Lovino yelled back.
"But I don't even know where you're going"
"You don't need to know I'm old enough to look after myself"
"But shouldn't I come to we are together" Antonio smiled.
"S-shut up" Lovino started to blush "we're not together, and I don't need you I can go by myself ." he hung up
Antonio rolled his eyes and closed his phone. He continued to do his work, there was a knock at his door.
"Um Mr. Carrillo" the voice called.
"Come in"
"There's a letter for you" the man put it on Antonio's desk and walked away.
"Thank you" he looked at the letter "Alice? It's been such a long time"
Antonio
I know it's been a while and we didn't exactly 'end' on the right terms but my daughter and son are having their weddings in a few weeks and I just wanted them to meet a few of my old friends.
Alice Kirkland
Gilbert smiled and decided to write back.
3 days after that
"Matt Matt" Emily ran down the hallway way and almost bumped straight into her brother.
"What?"
"They're coming"
"Who" Matthew was a little confused.
"Our dads"
