Jackie's parents got to the crime lab in a huge hurry, thinking that something horrible had happened to Nick but when they walked into the lab doors, they were in for a huge shock.

Their mouths hit the floor as they stared at Jackie and the other woman.

"What the hell is going on here?" Jackie demanded angrily at them.

"I'm not sure." Her mother stuttered.

"Cut the bull, what's going on?" Jackie said again.

There was certainly something that they had neglected to tell her.

"Ok Jackie, there is something we have to tell you, clearly we should have done it a long time ago."

"Obviously." Jackie stated.

"You are adopted."

"What? No I'm not, I have dad's eyes." She blurted as she looked at her father.

"It's true Jackie, we adopted you when you were just two days old." Her father said, barely able to look her in the eye.

Jackie's eyes filled with tears, she felt like her entire life had been a lie, nothing made any sense.

"Look Jackie, you are our little girl, you always have been, as soon as you were able to leave the hospital you came home with us." Her mom said as tears were now streaming down her face as well.

"Who was my birth mom and why did she give me up?"

"You're birth mother was a teenager when she got pregnant, your birth father left her as soon as he found out she was pregnant. She told us that giving you up was the hardest thing she had ever done but she knew she couldn't give you the life you deserved."

"I don't even know what to say, I feel so unwanted, so unloved right now." Jackie said as she went over to Nick, her marriage and her children were the only part of her life that seemed real at the moment.

"Listen to me, do not ever feel that way, you were more loved and wanted then most children because we had wanted a baby for so long. Your father and I tried for four years to get pregnant and when we couldn't we decided to adopt a baby. We had to wait two more years with the adoption agency before we were selected by someone, when your birth mother picked us to be your parents it was the best day of our lives, and your birth mother loved you too, she loved you enough to make the ultimate sacrifice-giving up her own child. You're a mother now, imagine how hard it would be to give up one of your children, even if you knew they deserved more than you could give them."

"What was my birth mother's name?" Jackie squeaked, as she let what her mother was telling her sink in. She knew her mom was right, giving up your child would be absolutely heartbreaking, as she glanced at her own four children, she couldn't imagine ever giving one of them up for adoption.

"Her name was Ann, we had what is called an open adoption with her meaning we kept in contact with her, we'd even send her pictures of you, she honestly did love you very much. The reason we didn't tell you about being adopted is because we didn't want you to feel like you weren't our child, you were, and are our little girl, you always have been and always will be."

"I'd like to meet my birth mother one day."

"I'm afraid that won't be possible Jackie, she died in a car accident when you were four, I'm sorry." Her dad said.

Jackie took a deep breath, this was all so overwhelming.

A realization suddenly hit Jackie "Oh my god, that's why when dad got cancer and needed a transplant you wouldn't let me get tested to see if I was a match, you didn't want me to find out I wasn't his, all that crap about children likely not being a match was a bunch of garbage wasn't it?"

"No, that part was true. It was true that we didn't want you to find out that you were adopted but it was also true that children usually aren't a match." Her mom said.

Jackie's mom then turned to the other woman "We had absolutely no idea she had twins, we would have gladly taken you too, we would have been thrilled to be given two little girls, and I truly mean that. My guess is that Ann didn't want to tell us she was having twins because she was afraid we'd back out and not take either of you, so instead of telling us, she just found two couples to take one baby apiece. We never had any reason to think there were two of you, although now looking back on it she didn't want us in the delivery room, I found that somewhat odd but I was so grateful to her for giving us her baby I didn't question why she didn't want us in there, now I know why, I truly hope you had nice parents."

"I did, my parents are incredible, I'm truly blessed to call them my parents."

"I'd like to meet them one day." Jackie's mother said.

"Ok, I'm sure they'd like that."

"I didn't catch your name." Jackie's mom said.

"My name is Carissa, and just so you don't feel bad Jackie, I'm sure my parents didn't know about you either or they would have taken you too."

"Thank you." Jackie said managing a smile, her head still spinning.

"I don't mean to be rude but can I have a couple minutes alone, I just want to think." Jackie requested.

"Sure." Everyone responded.

Nick led her to the break room.

"You know honey, I know this is all a huge shock, but think about it, it's actually a great thing for you."

Jackie looked at Nick like he had eight heads.

"I'm serious, think about it, you didn't lose anything, just because your parents are not your biological parents doesn't make them any less your parents, they have loved you more than anything your entire life, and nothing about what has happened today has changed that. To top that off you gained the one thing you have always longed for, you got a sister, a sister who seems like a very nice person. A sister who seems like she'd be very open to having a relationship with you, don't waste that opportunity."

Nick stopped talking, he gave her a kiss on the cheek before turning to leave the room.

Just before he walked out he looked back at her and said "Think about what I just said." before he turned and left the room.
