Disclaimer: See chapter 1, but I'd also like to add that I don't own Cosmopolitan.

She knocked louder on the door. When no one answered again, she pushed the door open and crept into the drawing room. She could now hear noises coming from the bedroom. Noises that would cause any sane person to turn a fiery red and go back out the door.

Yet she stayed, sitting in a chair while reading a Cosmo she'd found on the shelf. Before long she'd conked out, the magazine open to the article "How Karma Sutra can enhance your sex life."

A good two hours later, Erin strolled out into the drawing room. She immediately noticed the girl sleeping in the chair, and walked closer planning on awakening her so she could go back to her own room.

But then she noticed the birthmark in the exact same place her daughter had had a birthmark.

"Anna?" She whispered, stroking the girl's hair away from her face.

Aly subconsciously followed her mother's hand, whimpering in protest when Erin pulled it back.

"Joseph! Come in here!" Erin whispered urgently, afraid that if she talked any louder she'd wake up from this wonderful dream.

Joseph hurried into the drawing room, and took in the scene. His wife had now took the sleeping teenager and was cradling her like a child. And they looked so much alike; it just had to be their lost Anna.

"Sweetie, wake up." He said, shaking Aly's shoulder.

Aly opened her eyes, and realized that some strange lady was in fact holding her, and some strange man was stroking her hair, and silently crying.

"Oh, she has your eyes." The lady said, stroking Aly's forehead. The man leaned closer, and kissed her brow.

"Anna, you've come home. " He said, smothering her and the strange lady in a hug.

This was too much information for Aly. With that last statement, she fainted.

----------------------------------

She eventually came too, still in the lady's lap. By now she wondered if they truly thought her to be this lost "Anna", and if someone would explain what the hell was going on here.

Her bosses were also in the room, having a whispered argument.

"Can you do a spell to see?" She heard Ruth whisper.

"Yes, but we would need her cooperation to do that." The man near her said. She cracked her eyes open, and tried to sit up, only to be held down by the lady.

"No sweetie, you need to rest." She said soothingly. But Aly resisted and stood up shakily, staring at the people like they were insane.

"What is going on here?" She asked Ruth and Lane.

Ruth answered, "Well, we're not sure, but our friends may be your parents. But the only way to find that out would be to do a paternity spell, and we'd need your cooperation to do that child. Do you want to find out if they are your parents?"

"But…"
"What is it Ann?" Erin asked.

"Michelle told me my parents were dead. I've thought my whole life they were dead. What if they aren't my parents, how do I deal with that?"

"Wait, you said Michelle? As in Rex's grandmother Michelle?" Ruth asked.

"Yes, she raised Rex and I as brother and sister." Aly answered.

"That's what happened! She's been hiding under our noses ever since and we didn't suspect a thing! Look Aly, please take this test. It's the only way to prove that old hag is a liar who deserves eternal punishment."

"Will it hurt?" Aly asked.

"No, it's a simple mind test. All you need to do is look into the basin we have right here." Joseph replied, leading the girl to the basin.

She looked in. The water churned. And then showed two faces. A male face; Joseph's, and a female face; Erin's.
