I bubbled with excitement, refusing to be put down by Iness's sad gaze and Wendy's as I sat in her office."I saw the news too, Emily," she said, "But I'm not sure...""Iness..." I whined."Emily, wait. I'm not sure, because I don't want you to experience what you had in--""Iness....""Wait. In the hands of the others. So, we'll do a background check, give them a call, and organize a DNA test."I huffed out air through my mouth and sunk in my seat."Seriously?" I turned to Wendy, who nodded her agreement."I think Mrs Iness is right. And it doesn't hurt...."If that is what it took, then I'll go for it. I'll do anything to be with my parents again. And a DNA would be just an extra proof.But I was shaking inside me.What if...by some evil manipulation... the test proved negative?.Iness put the phone down and linked her long fingers together on her plain oak table."I've put the call through. They're on their way."Somehow I wasn't so excited.If indeed they were my parents, and the

Some_Minutes_LaterEmilyAnxiously biting my nails, I tugged on my skirt and smoothed my hair once again for the tenth time.Then a staff came to call me.As I got into the office, both people turned to face me, and the woman broke into a smile.She was not so thin, and not so tall. Brown hair, like mine. Rounded eyes, and a straight nose bridge.The man was quite tall, and his nose was more like mine, he had dark eyes too.Humph, can't believe I'm checking for comparison, similar features."Uh...hello," I started, feeling awkward.How do you meet your parents?"Oh my baby..." the woman whispered and rushed over to me with outstretched arms, engulfing me in a tight hug that had my nose filled with nothing but her strong perfume.But still, I hugged her back.Maybe that would make me seem too clingy or desperate... but I don't care."My baby...," she whispered again, releasing me and holding my hands in hers to look at me with a teary smile.I smiled too.The man came too, and took me

We got to a super big house a little bit late, and indeed the ride was long. They told me they were near the agency when they got the call, but lived quite far.We arrived after about three hours, and the time said eight thirty nine.I was tired.Mom noticed."I'll show you to your room so you can rest," she said and took me up a flight of STAIRS Cool.She led me to a door similar to every other door, and opened it."This is your room."I only noticed that it was huge.I said a sleepy "Thanks" to her and flopped myself on the bed.Tomorrow will be a good day, different from any I've ever imagined.I smiled in my dreams.Finally, I'm home.-----My eyes opened instinctively, and even if the sunlight didn't enter my eyes, I would still have woken up early.Courtesy of Lilian.For a split second I wondered where I was, and why my bed all of a sudden was comfortable.I quickly jerked up in a moment of panic and looked around, lost for a bit. Then it all came rushing back; my parents. . .m

I became excited to take a shower.But before that, I got out a few of my stuff and laid them in the wardrobe which was empty.I paused at my memory box, opened it and took out the small blanket, squeezing it to my chest for an emotional second, then stuffed it away and went for a bath..I was running my hand through my hair when a knock came."Please come in," I said.Mom opened the door and entered. She was already dressed in an indigo cotton shirt and black flare pantsuit."Good morning mom," I said and blushed a little.It's been a while calling someone that.She smiled, took my face in her hands and kissed both my cheeks."Hope you slept well?" she asked tenderly, and I almost melted."Yeah, like a baby," I replied, and she smiled."If you're done, we're having breakfast now. Come on down, and after we'll take you on a house tour and talk a little. You know, cover old grounds."That was a rather strange way to put it for some reasons, but I nodded."I'm done."As we walked downs

Hi, good morning dad," I greeted.He kissed my cheeks too."Morning, sweetie," he replied, and we all settled down to breakfast.There was toast, beverage, omelette, custard, jam, and some apples.My eyes widened at so much food that I didn't know what to do.Dad noticed, and carefully filled my plate."Eat up," he joked, and I chuckled."Thanks."It all tasted good, better than anything I've ever eaten. They were silent through out breakfast.After breakfast, a lady I didn't even notice came in and began clearing the table, while we retreated to the living room.And it was wow.We settled down on the settee, mom and I on one, and dad on a single sofa.I waited for them to speak."Sweetie," dad began, ''You probably don't know how happy we are to find you. After eighteen long years.""Why did it take so long?" I couldn't help but ask. "I mean. . .""Yes, we know what you mean," dad said while mom smoothed my hair."You. . . you were taken from us. It was after you were born. Your mothe

I threw my arms around mom first, and dad later."Thank you," I said.I didn't know about the posters or ads because I was always locked inside by whoever was fostering me. Mom cleaned my tears."its in the past now. Let's leave it there.""Yes," dad said, getting up. "And now, if you will excuse me, I'll have to get to work." He kissed my cheeks, and mom too.''I'll be back early today so we can discuss with Anne.""Discuss what?" I asked with my brows furrowed."In the evening," dad said, and went out.I turned to mom."Mom....what?""She laughed. " And I've just discovered that you're nosy. Now come on. A tour of the house, some shopping, and we might just get to know each other better."I knew she was dodging the topic, but I went along.I'll find out in the evening.We finished our tour.The house was big, but not really, with just one floor.And there were a few fields and flowers.It looked new to me, and when I asked mom, she said that they'd bought it recently.."Mom, isn't

Casa_del_LeonardoItalySunset was a perfect view from my window, especially with the palm trees framing it like some ethereal picture.I held a goblet of wine in one hand, while the other was folded across my chest.I took a sip rolling it with my tongue to get the taste. Not very good. I didn't expect it to be, because the best wines were plucked by my own people, fermented on my own terms, branded under my own name and stored in my own cellar.I peered into the cup, and gulped down the rest of the contents.Italy was a pretty warm place during the day, and our casa (house) was no exception. But it tended to be a bit cold at night; though not as cold as my house in Sicily, Buona Fortuna. That was some sort of private reservation.After setting the cup on the table beside the window, I took out a shirt from the wardrobe and wore it. I looked up at the clock above the bed.Time for family dinner.I sighed.Family dinners were not experiences I looked forward to..Dinner.Portia Leon

You weren't even around when he died. I was. And I'm the older one."It might come strange; Sergio was my brother, my older brother to be precise, and it was when I returned home two years ago that Portia cleared everything up.More like confused me the more.I still didn't know why papà left him nothing substantial... perhaps he had a reason."The older one who didn't get a dime out of papà's will. Where were you boozing?He made a show of coming to hit me, but Portia's low, controlling voice stopped him.Enough of all these brawl, she said and stood up, her rings glittering in the light of the overhead chandelier, "The will was read, sì. But there were conditions to it."She gave pointed looks to both me and Sergio, who was still fuming with anger."Now sit and let's talk it out. As a family."Sergio muttered something and sat back down, but I stood still , staring at her.sit, she said to me again, in a more commanding tone.I scoffed."I know the conditions for the will, and I've
