For Better Or For Worse (rewrite/ Continuation)

Chapter 31

Later that day,

After dinner time and catching up on how things had been in Arizona that morning Gail had it confirmed Ethan the painter was probably the first born of her parents, after she found out the information from the hospital she contacted Mrs Livingstone who confirmed she adopted her son from a couple in Arizona who they were told were very young at the time and the couple who took care of the paperwork were the parents of the girl (kaylee's parents) who said it's best to put them (The Livingstone's) on the birth certificate as the real parents so their daughter wouldn't be reminded about her mistake

"They said What!?" Kaylee snapped

"That's what Mrs Livingstone told me" Gail answered

"Did you tell her I want my son back?" Kaylee asked

"He's an adult you know?" Gail reminded her "But yes she agreed for you to meet him after she told him he was adopted since she and her late husband never told their son he's adopted" she explained

"I met him already, he looks just like your father when he was younger" Kaylee mentioned

"Wait What?" Elijah asked

"The painter this morning, I was about to hand him his tea when I saw him and i knew right away he was our missing baby" Kaylee told him

"She scared him off" Tracee added

"I did Not!" Kaylee replied

"Hopefully he'll come back in the morning" Michael mentioned

"He probably thinks this family is crazy" Tracee answered

"We're still his family then" Kaylee mentioned getting interuppted by the doorbell

"I'll see who that is" Tracee sighed making her way to the door "Ethan you're back, did you forgot something?" She asked

"No, I...I kind of owe your mother an apology, turns out she's right after all, long story short I had a weird conversation with my mother, she spoke some laywer and then told me she adopted me and got the name of my biological parents and I remembered your mother saying the same thing this morning and she happens to be the same person my mother said who's my biological mother" Ethan explained

"So basically it means you owe your mother an apology since my mother is yours too" Tracee mentioned

"Uh..yeah....You know this is really confusing for me this whole situation" Ethan mentioned

"Trust me you're not the only confused one here, me and Gail have been lied to our entire life too until yesterday" Tracee answered "I've always been the oldest and now I've a older brother?" She added

"I've always been a only child and now I've two sisters and found out I'm adopted" Ethan replied

"Oh and by the way that laywer your 'mother' spoke to is my- also your little sister Gail" Tracee mentioned

"Do we all have the same father too? Or am I in for more surprises?" Ethan asked

"How dare you think that" Tracee snapped at him and took a step forward about to slap him

"Don't hit your brother" Kaylee who made her way to the hallway mentioned raising her brow at her second born

"He may be your son but he's not my brother" Tracee told her and made her way to her and Michaels room where she closed the door

"Don't pay attention to her she's dealing with pregnancy hormones" kaylee told Ethan and led him into the penthouse where the others sat in the living room

"Where's Trace?" Michael asked

"The bedroom I guess" Kaylee answered "Elijah, Gail, meet Ethan, Ethan meet your father and youngest sister" she introduced Ethan to her husband and youngest daughter

While Elijah, Gail, kaylee and Ethan got to know each other Michael made his way to Tracee who layed down on their bed and rubbed her baby bump while watching some tv

"I don't like him" She mentioned

"Who?" Michael asked

"Ethan, he may be my parents child but he's not my sibling" Tracee mentioned

"Trace you barley even know the guy" Michael told her

"He asked if we have the same father too or if he was in for more surprises, idiot" Tracee scoffed

"Look at it from his point of view, he thought the people who raised him were his parents so it's natural for him to wonder those things" Michael mentioned

"On who's side are you?" Tracee asked raising her brow at her husband

"I'm in the middle Ok? I mean I get your mother's side she wants her child back I get that Ok, I also understand Ethan's side he's probably confused right now and I get your side too, you always thought you were the oldest and now you're the middle child" Michael explained

"I don't need an older brother Ok?" Tracee sighed

"Look at the bright side" Michael mentioned

"That is?" Tracee asked

"You only have one older sibling" Michael answered

"Yeah" Tracee sighed

"He seems like a nice person too, you know" Michael mentioned

"I know, we all need to get used to each other I think" Tracee replied

"Exactly" Michael answered

"I guess when he's painting we'll get to talk? That is if he still wants to paint the babyroom" Tracee mentioned

"I'll ask him" Michael replied wrapping his arm around Tracee and gently rubbed her baby bump "How's the little one doing?" He asked

"Saying hi to daddy" Tracee smiled feeling the baby kick

"We should come up with names right?" Michael asked

"Yeah but maybe when he or she is born we'll know instantly" Tracee mentioned and sweetly kissed her husband "Have I told you how much I love you?" She asked

"I love you more anyway" Michael smiled at her

"Not possible" Tracee smiled wrapping her arms around him "Maybe we could make love to show our love?" She smiled about to unbutton his shirt

"Didn't Dr Williams say it'll cause early labor?" Michael interrupted her

"I'm six months pregnant not eight" Tracee reminded her husband

"True but-" Michael began

"No forget it thank you for ruining my mood, I'm going to sleep" Tracee scoffed and turned her back to him

"You know I love you and I don't want anything to go wrong with the little one, you know we both have waited so long for him or her-" Michael began while wrapping his arms around her

"I know" Tracee interuppted "I'm just tired" she sighed
