Enjoy.
In Crista's POV.
My sisters are making me meet this woman that gave us up because she couldn't handle being a mother but now she can? I'm not going to fully trust this woman.
"Crista we have to leave in a few minutes to meet up with Shelby so stop being a baby and come on!" I heard Rachel say from Victorie's room.
I guess it was time to meet the woman that actually gave birth to us. I walked out of my room and saw our uncle Will standing there looking timid knowing that were going to meet Shelby and trust me I feel the same way he feels but I guess it would be nice to meet her.
"Are you ready girls we need to get there soon!" I nod walking out the door since were all going out to lunch to talk and yes Finn was joining us.
"Look if it doesn't feel right then we will do it when your ready!" Uncle Will says firmly and I know he doesn't want to do this.
"Were doing this just like Rachel's trying to get along with you!" He sighs knowing I'm right and we leave the house and get into his car but Rachel is riding with Finn and Victorie is with them. You know sometimes I hate how there just so perfect together.
"Do you think she will like us or like how we turned out since she hasn't seen us since we were born?" I glare at my sister hating how she's so happy.
"Stop being so happy Averilyn, she gave us up remeber that." Averilyn rolls her eyes saying she knows and looks out the window.
"Can't you atleast be nice to her when we actually get there she is our mom you know!" I slap her arm.
"Hey our parents were still our parents don't act like they weren't!" She rolls her eyes and I slap her again.
"Hey Crista knock it off she knows!" I sigh as we pull up at the place were meeting and I see Rachel and Finn talking to some woman while Rachel holds onto Victorie's hand. "Is that her uncle Will?" He says yes and we get out of the car when he turns it off and I stand here not moving yet.
"Come on Crista the sooner this happens the sooner we can go home!" I nod grabbing her hand and we walk over to them.
"So are we going in or not?" I said still a little timid and I see Shelby stare at me slightly and I feel like I'm going to faint.
"I'm sorry but I'm not ready to do this in a group!" I let go of Averilyn's hand and walk back to the car and get in.
In Rachel's POV.
I stood there looking at everybody and i knew that I had to talk to Crista alone so I tell Finn to watch Victorie and I walk to my uncle's car and get in the backseat with my sister who i know is having a hard time getting use to this whole thing. "Hey sis do you want to talk?" She shook head no looking down.
"Why are you so scared to get to know Shelby?" She looks out the window sighing and I wait.
"Because you and Averilyn are acting like Shelby has been in our life forever when our parents have always been!" I frown grabbing her hand making her look at me.
"Crista I'm not acting like Christine and Leroy Berry weren't our parents and I know Averilyn isn't , we loved our parents just as much as you did and were not planning on replacing them but they did lie to us and I just want to get to know our birth mom sis and I'm never going to love them less!" She looks at me sadly.
"Just promise me that you and Averilyn won't forget mom and dad ever and were just getting to know Shelby!" I smile at her and pull her in for a hug.
"I promise Crista no matter what they will always been our parents and Averilyn is going to do the same you know this!" She hugs me tightly.
"So are we ready to get this over with?" We pull away and I open the door and we both get out holding hands and we walk back over to them.
"I'm sorry for that I wasn't thinking straight and just needted to breathe." I heard Crista say and Shelby walks over to us.
"I understand Crista and I'm not forcing you to call me mom just the first day we meet, I want to get to know you girls for a very long time!" We nod.
We walk in and I sit next to Crista while Finn sits on the other side of me. "Is everything alright baby?" Finn whispered and I nod feeling him kiss my forehead.
"So girls how was your lives in New York before you moved here?" I glance at Crista who was taking a deep breathe and she starts talking.
"Well we had great times there, Rachel saw a lot of Broadway shows since she wants to be on Broadway someday." I blush slightly.
"Really Rachel you like Broadway what do you wish to be in when you get on Broadway?" I blush hating my sister at the moment.
"I want to be in Wicked or Funny Girl!" Shelby smiles at me suprised. "Really so your a Barbra Streisand fan?" I nod leaning against Finn.
"Really what's your favorite song or songs of hers?" I stare at her surprised and tell her that my favorites are My Man, Don't Rain On My Parade and Tell Him with Celine Dion who is also my favorite! She nods smiling.
"So Averilyn do you play any sports because you look like the kind of the kind of girl that does!" I order my food and I order for Victorie who was happy what I picked.
"Um I'm trying out for the girl's tennis team next year and hopefully I will make it!" I stare at her surprised.
"Wow that sounds like fun!" I see Crista looking at her menu and our uncle is staring at Shelby very timid. "Crista?" Shelby asked for her and Crista looks up.
"Yes um Shelby?" I smile at her giving her a proud look and she nods at me like she saying that she's trying and I'm glad she is.
"I was wondering if you liked any Broadway plays or any color music do you sing like Rachel?" She nods ordering her food choice before speaking to our mother.
"Yes I like some Broadway shows and I'm in Glee club with my sisters but Rachel is Caption of the Glee club while Finn here is Co. Caption." I smile at Finn.
"Well that's good to hear and I'm glad you girls got my singing talent!" I take a sip of my coke and Finn wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Finn how long have you been with Rachel and are you treating her right?" Shelby asked a little firmly. "Daddy loves mommy alot!" Victorie says making me smile.
"Well that's good to know sweetie!" She looks at us and Finn speaks lacing his fingers through mine and I smile up at him.
"I love your daughter very much and I promise to be there for her no matter what!" I kiss his cheek. "You two are cute together!" I agree.
Averilyn looks at us and grins with joy. "Um Shelby we were wondering if you wanted to spend the 4th of july with us!" I forgot about.
"If it's okay with your uncle i don't see why not!" We get our food and we talk a little bit more. "Can she uncle Will please?" Averilyn pleaded.
"I don't find it a problem just as long as we all get along and don't feel awkward around each other!" We smile at him.
"So Shelby do you kids besides us at the moment?" Averilyn asked making me and Crista stare at her oddly but I do want to know that.
"Yes I have a two year old daughter that I adopted and her name is Beth!" I froze hearing that name and I look at Finn to see him looking down.
"Um excuse me for a second while I go to the ladies room!" I get out of the booth and walk to the bathroom with my phone. I find Quinn's number and dial it.
"Hey Rach what's up?" I took a deep breathe really hoping that Shelby's daughter wasn't Quinn's and Noah's birth daughter.
"Um hey Q I know this might seem straight forward but I was wondering what was the name of the person you gave your daughter Beth to?"
"Um I rather not talk about Rachel it's too hard to think about!" I sigh knowing it's hard but I need to know.
"Please Quinn I just want to know and I won't talk about it anymore!" She sighs on the other line before speaking.
"Her name was Shelby Corcoran and it's an open adoption so were aloud to contact her and to see Beth but why?"
I frown knowing that it's going to hurt her saying this. "Um Quinn remeber I told you about my birth mom finding us?" She says yes.
"Well mine and my sisters birth mother is Shelby Corcoran!" I sigh.
Find out what happens next.
