Betsi POV

My parents arrived here close to midnight. It seems that Jefferson had a private airstrip and owned a couple of jets, the perks of having a shit load of money.  This day is turning out to be more than expected. There are so many different things going on right now, and my mind is just spinning.

 First was Jason finding his family , but not recognizing any of them or his home , we have been working on that almost all day. Then there was my long lost father showing up , well he might be my father and I won't know until he gets DNA results to me on Monday. But there is the strong  possibility of it being true if I go by the freaked out actions of these people when they heard about it. The way they act he was some terrorist or gang leader.

And lastly, all these people except for Jason know more about me than I ever could imagine. I find that to be the strangest thing. I'm pissed at Samantha, she knew more of my history than me. How the fuck did she know so much and manage to keep it to herself all this time? Too many secrets and lies  are surrounding me , I just don't know what to believe anymore. I wonder if Jason knew too, at least before he lost his memory anyway. Right now he's the only one of the lot I trust, too many damn secrets and they better come clean to me tonight.

It's a pretty tough thing to swallow, knowing I was lied to all these years. I'm going to  have to call my sister once this is all sorted out and clue her in on this mess. I wonder how she is going to react, and now part of me wonders if she knew already too . No, she wouldn't keep me in the dark like this. She's another one I can put on my list of people I trust.

The minute I saw Dad and mom's faces , they showed how tired and worried they both were. I could see mom had red eyes and knowing her it was from crying. I hated to see them this way, I loved them both but I hate that they kept something so important from me. Mom hugged me immediately and I hug her back, like I said I love them very much and they have been  good parents.

"I'm so sorry , I love you sweetie and just wanted to protect you" her voice betrays her emotions, she is sorry and I know it. Mom has always worn her feelings on her sleeve. " We just did what we thought was best for the both of you. " 

Dad wraps his arms around the two of us , joining us and making it a group hug. 

"We'll answer any questions you have , and promise to be as honest as possible. If we don't know , we can help you find the answers. OK?."   I think Dad means what he says, and I nod my head before responding.

"I just want to know the truth"  I  release Mom and wiggle my way out of the group. "I have a lot of questions "  

We take our seats, everyone is here in the room . I figure they might as well be here since they are part of it.  They did ask me , giving me the option of making it a private talk. But I don't care about anything more than getting answers at this point. Besides they already know it all anyway.

"What do you want to know first?" Dad asks me , I can feel everyone's eyes on me as they wait for my answer.

"How about you start at the beginning , and by beginning I mean my birth mother and father. I want to know who they are , how I came to be adopted and the story of them together. I think that would be a good place to start."

" I can tell you about your mother." Mom is getting teary eyed again. She has always been a soft soul and her emotions easily displayed. " Her name is Katya, and she is my younger sister."

Just she just say sister?  "What did you just say?" I don't think I heard her right.

"She is my younger sister. I haven't seen her since that day she left you with us." Her voice is cracking as she repeats herself.
