Connor's P.O.V.

I couldn't believe that our father had abused and raped Estelle for years and she didn't say anything or the fact that our best friends' older sister arrested him. And we were talking to our biological mother. I didn't care about her, she had giving us up when we were babies. Why should she care now?

"So, you're our mother? Our biological mother?" Amelia wore the biggest smile out of all of them.

"Yes. You're father and I are extremely happy to know you're okay," she smiled the sweetest smile I had ever seen and I couldn't care less.

Estelle smiled and said, "I think life's going to get a lot better."

"Estelle, do you remember you remember when you fell of the roof?" Michelle asked.

Her face went blank. "How did you know about that?"

"The boy who caught you, you remember him?" she asked again.

Estelle nodded, "Ash."

Michelle smiled, "Yes, Ash. He's a friend of ours. We asked him to help us search for you."

"You sent him to check on us?" I asked.

"Yes. We needed to make sure you guys were o…" that's when I stepped in.

"Oh shut up! So you wanted to check on us!? Make sure we were ok!?" I yelled and everyone went into shock, "Please! If you cared about us at all you wouldn't have given us up in the first place! I don't care if you are my mom, I don't want you in my life and I sure as HELL don't need you!" I watched the tears fall down her face, then turned and ran up the stairs.

"Connor!" Estelle yelled after me.

I ran and ran until I got to my room. I slammed the door shut and leaned against it. I felt the tears in my eyes. Why was I crying I could care less about her? Someone knocked on the door. I stood up and plopped onto the bed and hid my face in the pillow. The door open and someone walked in. The bed shook a little when they sat down.

"Connor?" It was Michelle. "Do you want to know why you guys put up for adoption?" I rolled over and looked up at here.

"If you'd be so kind."

"When you guys were born your father wasn't a really nice person. But he vowed to me that he would be a better person and that he would care and love you as much as he loved me. But the doctors found out who he was and what he had done and they took you away from us. We never wanted to give you away, Connor, we loved you guys from the moment we saw you. Your father has been making up for all he's done and he loves you just as much." Michelle looked away for a moment, "Will you give me the chance to be your mother?" She looked at me with pleading eyes; the eyes Riley uses when he wants something.

"So that's where he gets its," I whispered.

She gave me a questioning look. "Riley can do the same thing with his eyes; make a pleading puppy look that no one can refuse, not even me."

Her eyes widened, "Does that mean…?"

"Yes," I smiled, "I'll try to get use to having a mother."

The smile she gave me then could light the whole world and I knew then that I made the right choice. I heard a quiet sob from behind Michelle and found out that others had been standing there.

"Connor, this is going to be a good thing," Estelle smiled, "I can feel it."
