Chapter 5
Krystal could barely contain her joy at Babe being alive. She called Marissa while the doctors examined her daughter. When they were done Krystal went to Babe's side.
Momma?
I'm here baby. And you're back with us.
How long was I gone?
: Almost three years. Do you remember anything?
Not much. The longer I'm back the less details I remember. But I know dad was there. So was Leora, his other daughter. They're happy, and together, forever.
I'm glad for them. But some things have happenned, you need to know.
What about my son? Tell me he's okay.
He's fine. He decided he's old enough for a nickname, so we call him AJ now.
I like it. Tell me about him.
There is something else. When I had you, I was pregnant with twins. I was afraid I couldn't handle two little girls. I put your sister up for adoption.
So I have a twin sister out there somewhere?
When you were gone I found her. Her name is Marissa. She had good foster parents, but she wanted to help with AJ. One thing led to another, and she married JR and adopted AJ.
You're saying Marissa married my husband and is raising my son?
Their marriage didn't work out, but she is still raising AJ. There's something else. JR started drinking, he tried to kill Marissa. He's the one who killed David. For all your father's faults he died protecting Marissa.
