Chapter 2.
Emily runs up to help the doctor. "Do you know this women?" The doctor asks her.
"I'm good friends with her fiancé." Emily tells him.
"Could you try and get ahold of his family? She is senile and non-legible do to her impending injuries." The nurse asks her.
"Toby doesn't have any family, his mother died when he was a child and no one has heard from his father in years." Emily explains.
"Well, it states here that Mr. Cavanaugh has a sister?" The nurse questions showing Emily the paper work just as the rest of the clan walks up.
"Yeah, a stepsister. But, we couldn't tell you where she is." Hanna mutters.
The nurse sighs, "Would any close family work?" Aria pipes in.
The nurse has a questioning look.
"Well, Toby works for the police department. Would one of his task mates work? Like his head chief?" Aria questions.
The nurse looks back at Toby's file, "with no nextive kin, I guess that would be acceptable."
"I'll call Marco," Aria says pulling out her phone.
"I'll come with you," Jason says.
Aria nods, and the two of them walk off into a room.
Hanna looks back at the nurse, "Has anyone gotten ahold of Yvonne's family?"
The nurse looks confused.
"The senile women that just fainted in that doctors arms." Hanna gestures behind her.
"Um," the nurse looks at her computer screen. "Our system states that the women is listed as a Jane Doe. We don't have any past record of her, here at Rosewood General." The nurse says, clicking around her mouse.
"Her name is Yvonne Phillips, her and her family just moved here last year from Maine. That's probably why you don't have her in the system." Emily states.
"What about her accident last month?" Caleb questioned.
"They took her too Syracuse Regional for better security." Ali swats. They all look at her shocked, "What? I've had plenty of intel with all of the cops around me lately." Ali explains.
Just then Aria and Jason return, "Marco said he'd be right down." Jason blurts.
"Would anyone mind if Hanna and I went back to the apartment to clean up?" Caleb says to the circle.
"Yeah that's fine." Jason states.
"Alright when we get back the two of you can go." Caleb says gesturing towards Aria and Jason. Aria nods shoving her phone back into the back pocket of her dark denim jeans.
Just as Caleb and Hanna are exiting out of the automatic double doors, Marco enters frantically running smack into Caleb.
"Woah! Sorry about that man." Marco says grabbing Caleb's shoulder.
"Hey man, don't worry about it." Caleb says. Marco nods and continues to enter the hospital lobby.
"How is she?" Marco asks, referring to Spencer.
"We're not sure. She needs another surgery, but they need a blood transfusion before they can operate." Ali tells him.
"Oh wow." Marco sits.
"Her mom is back there now getting tested to do the transfusion." Ali continues.
"And Toby?" he asks.
"We know nothing on Toby, that's kind of where you come in." Aria cuts in.
"What do you mean?" Marco questions.
"Well, Toby has no nextive kin available for paper work and information. Yvonne," Aria begins to say.
"Wait, Yvonne?" Marco cuts her off.
"Yeah, Yvonne was in the accident with Toby." Aria continues.
"Oh God." Marco grabs his forehead tapping his right foot.
"I'm confused." Ali states leaning in.
"Yeah, me too." Emily says.
Marco sighs, "Okay, this stays right here." He says.
"Okay?" Aria questions looking at Jason.
"We haven't told many people this just because we know how rumors spread around this town." Marco whispers. "Yvonne is my sister." He continues.
"What?" Jason questions, all of the rest of them staring in awe.
"Well, she my half-sister. We have different fathers." Marco states.
"Now that you mention it, I do see a resemblance." Ali mutters. Emily swats her arm, "Ow!" Ali snorts grabbing her arm, glaring at Emily.
"So what happened?" Marco asks.
"All we know is the two of them were in a one car accident. Toby must've lost control and the two of them ended up in a tree." Aria assumes.
Marco sighs, "Yvonne seemed fine and then the doctor muttered something about internal injuries and she just collapsed." Emily says.
Marco takes a deep breath, "Alright I'm going to go call my mother. She's at a conference in D.C. but she needs to know about this." They all nod. "I'll come back and start Toby's paperwork." Marco tells them. "But, I'm going to need help I mean I know him but, not as well as you might think. I've only been his chief for a few months."
Emily nods, "I'll help you."
Marco smiles and exits through the double doors.
Just then Veronica Hastings enters back from the hallway. She's inhumanly sad, almost shocked. "I'm not a match," she mutters looking at the floor.
"What?" Ali asks.
"I'm not a match to Spencer's blood type." Veronica continues.
"Well, doesn't that mean Peter is a match? Call him." Emily asks.
"That's the thing, Spencer's blood type is O+, I'm AB+ and Peter is A-." Veronica sighs.
"So that means," Jason begins to say.
"I'm not Spencer's mother," Veronica cuts in.
"Then who is?" Jason asks.
"Me." A voice says behind them.
They all turn towards the double doors and there stands Mary Drake. "Hello Mary." Veronica stands.
"Hello Veronica." Mary says walking closer.
"Wait, you two know each other?" Ali asks.
"Sadly, yes." Veronica whispers not taking her eyes from Mary's.
"Many years ago my sister had an affair with Peter." Mary states taking a seat in one of the green cushioned hospital chairs. "He and Veronica were in the very early stages of their marriage," Mary continues.
"I had just learned I was pregnant with Melissa." Veronica interrupts.
"Yes, well we all make mistakes in life don't we?" Mary glares at Veronica. "Anyway Jason, that's how you came along. At about the same time I learned I was pregnant with a little boy, Charles. I had just been admitted to Radley when I learned I was pregnant. When he was born, Jason, your mother decided she would take over the adoption rights. Our parents had just died in that fire and you were just born. For about the first five years of your lives everyone new you and Charles as twins." Mary states signaling towards Jason.
"Wait fire?" Aria questions.
"Ahh yes, when Jessica and I were 23 our parents died in a mysterious fire up at our lake house. Jessica and I were lucky enough to make it out. However, I had gotten in quite a bad fight with our mother so after an investigation the police discovered that the fire was no accident. Jessica confessed me and my mother's fight to the police and I was given a plea to plead insanity and that's how I ended up at Radley." Mary says.
Everyone nods. "Well what happened next?" Jason questions.
"About two years after I was admitted I received outpatient hours every two weeks based on good behavior. This is when I learned Peter and Jessica were still involve in their affair." Mary continues, Veronica cringes. "After a while I learned all of their hiding places, places they snuck off to, to see each other. One day, I set the two of them up and I met Peter at their special spot. Peter had no clue who I was, and from what I remember, he didn't have the slightest idea that I wasn't Jessica." Mary states.
"And?" Jason questions.
"Oh Jason read between the lines, that's how Spencer was conceived." Veronica snorts.
Everyone gasps and coo's in disgust.
"Wait, but how did you not know Spencer wasn't your child?" Aria asks Veronica.
"After Melissa was born, there was a problem with my recovery. I had contracted an infection and I was no longer able to conceive children. Peter had the idea to involve a surrogate." Veronica begins.
"It wasn't Peter's idea, it was mine. I obviously couldn't keep my baby while I was in Radley. But, as soon as I realized I was pregnant I told Peter. He was furious, at first, and then he realized he would get to be a father again and he was all for it." Mary interrupts.
"Anyway, Peter took on the whole surrogate situation. When Melissa was born we had the rest of my eggs frozen for if we ever decided to pursue a situation like this. As much as I knew was that her name was confidential, but she lived in town, and the day our baby was here we would get to take her home." Veronica continues.
"So, you had no ties with the process at all?" Ali questions.
Veronica shakes her head.
"Weren't you concerned?" Aria asks.
"Of course! But, I was always in and out of town because of work. I had just started taking cases on my own at that point. I was excited to have another child I thought it was all played out by the book. When Spencer was born we got the call to meet her. It was actually right in this hospital." Veronica smiles. "We got to name her, Spencer after Peter's father, Jill after my mother. Spencer Jill Hastings, has a nice ring to it. I never met the surrogate, and three weeks after that we got to take our little girl home."
"So, when did you get out of Radley?" Jason aims towards Mary.
"Well, after I ended up pregnant for a second time I got my outpatient hours taken away. However, I got dismissed from Radley on probation at about the time you all were 15," Mary signals toward Aria, Emily, and Alison.
"I need to get ahold of Peter," Veronica stands.
"Oh, tell him I said hello." Mary mutters.
Veronica rolls her eyes and pulls out her phone.
"Wait." Aria interrupts. "I thought you were in London with Melissa?"
"I was, I had a last minute case come up so I had to send Peter. He's there with Melissa now." Veronica starts to dial.
Aria nods.
Just then Marco returns through the double doors, "My mother said she's going to take the next available flight." He states.
A doctor appears in the hallway, "Family of Yvonne Phillips."
"I'm her brother." Marco pipes.
"Can you come with me?" The doctor tells him.
Marco follows the doctor and the rest of the clan sits in the many sterile plastic chairs.
