Kids, Secrets, and Futures
Maelynne's POV
My name is Maelynne Berry. I live with my best friend / sister, Rachel Berry.
"Good morning, Mae," Rachel called, running into my room to wake me up.
I'm seven. She's eight. We've grown up together for the past three years, when I escaped from the School when I was four—I don't really remember being there, but when I first met her and Dad and Daddy, I constantly had nightmares about being at the School.
"Good morning, Rachel," I replied, cheerfully.
We both want to be on Broadway someday. We both take dance classes and singing lessons from Shelby Corcoran, who is also our mother. We accidentally found out when Dad and Daddy had to take me and Rachel to the doctor's and I kept trying to run away, and they needed to get some DNA info on me. 49% of my DNA matched Rachel and Shelby's DNA. I also take gymnastics and karate.
Rachel doesn't understand why I take gymnastics and karate, but it's about my past. I can never go back to where I came from and I will do everything in my power to never return to the School.
Rachel grinned at me and said, "Race ya!"
I grinned and sprang out of bed, chasing her down the stairs to the dining room.
"Hello, girls," our fathers called, smiling at both of us.
"Hi Dad! Hi Daddy!" we cheerfully replied.
"Today, you two are going over to your mother's for your voice lessons," Dad said calmly.
Rachel and I looked at each other and grinned. We loved our voice lessons. Not only we were being trained by the Shelby Corcoran, we also got to spend time with our mother.
"Hooray!" we cheered
Dad and Daddy both grinned and Daddy asked, "Are you excited or something?"
Rachel and I looked at each other, and then giggled.
'When are we going over?" I asked.
"After you've eaten your breakfast," Dad replied.
"You'll also be staying with your mother for the next two weeks," he added.
We stared at each other and then at our fathers. "Why do you always have to go away?" Rachel asked.
They shrugged and Daddy said, "I've never been able to see if the company would let either of us stay with our girls."
Rachel and I looked at each other and then giggled again.
We quickly ate and cleaned up and got dressed. We really wanted to see Shelby again, plus we'd get to spend some time being her daughters instead of just her students.
