Becca's POV

Ashley finally walked in a few minutes after Hanna walked out.

"Sorry about that Becca. I'm Ashley by the way, but you can call me Mum. I can understand if that's not really easy for you to do at the moment. I have a lot of things to explain though. I was hoping that Hanna would be willing to listen so I could tell you both at once but I guess you can't always get what you want." Ashley said almost sounding disappointed.

"It's okay… Ashley? I think it would be easier to call you mum after I know more, if you get what I mean…" I said, not meaning to sound rude.

"I understand, honey. I guess I should start explaining. Well, when I had you and Hanna, which is quite rather obvious. But the thing is you were sick, and I mean really sick. We thought you had died. You were in a coma for practically the whole time I was in the hospital. By the time we left, we were told that you had died. We were all devastated. Little did we know, that was a lie. We had a funeral for you and everything…" Ashley said as she grew a tear in her eye.

"Wow…" Was all I could manage to let out of my mouth at the time… That sounded… Horrible. Even though I'm quite upset, I'm still angry as well. I mean, what kind of doctor tells a mother and father that their child is dead when in reality they're not? That's just messed up.

"I was so stunned to hear from you a week ago. I was happy, I was hysterical and I was also furious, not to mention confused. I had no idea what was going on. But I guess it was just fate. A miracle. A dream come true. You're alive." Ashley said with a comforting smile on her face.

"That's so insane… I don't know what to say. For all these I thought that you didn't want me, that you willingly put me up for adoption. Wow…" I spoke quietly with a stunned look on my face.

"I would never do that to a child of mine. I wouldn't just abandon one of my own. You're my daughter and I love you." Ashley said, carefully.

"I love you too… Mum." I said uncomfortably.

Ashley then came closer towards me to give me a hug. I must say it felt good. I've never had this before. A mother figure.

After about twenty seconds she let go and sat down, putting her hand over her face.

"And now I just have to explain all this to Hanna." Ashley sighed. "Well, before I have to go through this story again, I might as well show you around the house you're going to be living in.

Ashley showed me around the whole house except my bedroom. I must admit that was the room I the most excited about to see. It was like a dream. This house looked so luxurious. Better than I could imagine.

When I think about it, in reality, I really am a lucky person. Not many people are like me, but the people that are like me, not all of them get the chance to find their biological family. It truly is a miracle.

Finally, we got to my room. Ashley then opened the door to my bedroom. It was beautiful. The walls were turquoise; it had a beautiful white, queen sized bed directly in the middle of the room with a nice dark doona set on top. I was immediately in love. I've always dreamed of something like this. It was amazing.

"Do you like it?" Ashley questioned.

"Yes, I do. I love it!" I squealed having a fan girl moment without meaning to.

"That's great, honey." She said with a laugh. "You might want to get settled in. Bring your stuff inside and bring them into your room. Do you need any help?" Ashley offered.

"Thank you, Ashley. I think I can do it. It won't take too long." I replied politely.

Hanna's POV

Finally, I'm at the Grill. I have no idea how I'm supposed to feel right now considering that I feel so many things at once at the moment.

Angry, upset, frustrated, confused just to name a few.

I see Aria sitting near the back sipping her latte and doing something on her phone.

"Hey, Aria… You'll never guess what happened at home before I left." I mentioned as I headed towards her without really thinking about how I would naturally explain this situation without making myself sound loony.

"What happened? Was it A?" Aria splurged out, sounding overly concerned.

"It's a bit of a story. I think it's best if I tell you, Spence and Em all at once. It's unbelievable though. Trust me. I don't even know if I can believe it all myself so far." I let out with a sigh.

"Okay… So I'll text the girls now then?" Aria questioned curiously.

"Go ahead." I offered raising my hands in the air.

"Will do." Aria half mumbled.

Half an hour later.

By now I had explained practically everything out that needed to be said, about how I have a twin that I never knew about, how my mother had kept this from me my whole life and every detail inbetween.

A few seconds later I heard the sound of my text tone go off in my bag. I checked it, assuming it was my mother or something apologising or worrying about me.

I've always said you had a big mouth, Hefty Hanna. Maybe you should watch you say because it always ends up in a web of lies. –A

I felt my gut drop and my mouth fly open like I had just walked past my favourite mall in the store had just closed down as I read the initial 'A'. I thought A was gone. I thought that it was all over; look like I thought too soon.

What to do now? Do I tell the girls or keep to myself?

What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
