Chapter 75: I Am Your Biological Mother
Natalie
"Mmh, this is so good." I said, biting down the pizza.
After I told him to get me anything tasty, I felt the urge to eat pizza so he ordered it instead. We were on the couch, eating and watching one of my favorite movies that I got him to watch with him and I was so lost in the movie.
"Natalie?" He called me for the sixth time but my focus was on the movie.
He wanted us to cuddle but I decided against it, Mr. Thomas might walk in any time.
"Natalie…"
"Ssh! Here comes one of my favorite parts." I cut him off while my focus was still on the movie.
We continued watching the movie until lunch time was over and he had to go back to work. I watched the movie all alone to keep myself busy until his closing time.
On our way back home, I fell asleep in the car and woke up to see that we were almost home. It was already getting dark as well, the sun setting and darkness was slowly taking over the light blue sky.
As we pulled into the parking lobby, I stepped out of the car with him following behind. I thought it would be just a normal evening with Lorenzo and I but when he opened the door, a small familiar voice was heard that left me surprised. It turned my evening into an amazing one.
"Father! Miss. Jackson!" Fiona shouted from the living room.
I let out a quick squeak, kicking my heels off as I ran towards the living room. There she was running towards me, a wide smile made it to my lips as I captured her into a hug. I couldn't be happier to see her.
"Oh, Fiona. Mother misses you so much." I said, not wanting to let her go.
"I miss you too, mother." She said and I pulled away to shower her face with kisses.
Her smile widened as she looked at me and then turned to her father who was in the living room as well.
"Father!" She called and I let go of her as she ran into his arms.
Lorenzo took her in his arms, placing a kiss on her forehead and I couldn't help but awe at how cute they both looked right now.
"I miss you, father." She said with a smiling face and her father smiled back to her before he opened his mouth to speak.
"Father misses you too."
She hugged him one more time before he put her down and she took my hand in hers.
"Miss. Jackson, can we watch a movie?" She tilted her head as usual and I was about to respond but Lorenzo interrupted.
"How about later tonight, Fiona? Your mother has just returned home and she is a bit tired." I looked at him surprised, not because he said that I am tired but because he actually called me her mother in front of her.
Yes, I know I am her mother and she should call me that but it just sounded so new and foreign since this is the first time I actually heard him address me as Fiona's mother in front of her.
"Okay then, I will go and play with my father's friend, Alex." She said and was about to leave but Lorenzo stopped him.
"Alex? Where is he?" He asked with a frown on his face and I was also confused because I can't see him in the living room.
"Oh, he is in the kitchen, making something for me to eat. We are going to play a game afterwards so you too should just rest, okay? Don't worry about me, I am in good hands." She turned and ran out of the living room. She seems suspicious.
"Come on," Lorenzo said, he took my head and guided me to the stare leading to his room. He looked around to make sure no one was around before locking the door and I frowned in confusion.
Why is he locking the door?
"Is everything okay?" I asked, still confused and he pulled me into a corner of his bedroom.
"We need to talk." He said and I was even more confused.
"Talk about what?"
"Telling her."
"Telling her what?"
"That we are together now." I raised my eyebrows.
He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose before looking at me.
"Look, Fiona is a very smart girl, okay? I bet she might even be outside right now, trying to hear what we were saying. That stupid Alex must have told her something about us. She might not know that we are together now so it is better we tell her before she does something else to try and put it together. Something worse than seeing me naked." I looked at him in a total surprise
So Fiona has been trying to get her father and I together all this time and I couldn't figure it out? Gosh, I felt so dumb.
"Okay," I agreed with a sigh.
"So when will we tell her?"
"After dinner, in my room. We will call her over and tell her that we are together now and you are her biological mother." I nodded my head.
Fiona Pov.
I sighed as I tried to listen to my father and Miss Jackson's conversation in his room but felt disappointed because I couldn't hear a thing. I wanted to know so badly what they were saying but that wasn't the only thing I wanted to know. I also wanted to know since when did my father allow Miss. Jackson entered his room and why were they out together?
Their actions were a little suspicious so I wanted to know and I am going to find out one way or another.
"Why are we here again?" Alex whispered and I sent him a glare.
I had personally told him not to make a sound or speak because I wanted to hear what they were talking about but Alex wasn't listening and I didn't like that. I gave him a look that made him keep quiet. I placed my ear to the door or my father's room to see if I could hear what they were saying but once again, I heard nothing.
I gave up after standing at the door for almost half an hour. I was tired and felt disappointed but I promised myself that I would definitely find out what is going on between them.
I sighed, pulling away from the door and gesturing to Alex to follow me. We made our way to the kitchen where we sat and waited for my father and Miss. Jackson to come so we can all have dinner together.
"I am leaving, see you tomorrow, dude." Alex said, waving to my father and he gave him a nod in return.
I watched as Alex sent a wink wink and then turned around to leave. Closing the door, I turned around to see my father moving his hand from Miss. Jackson's waist as quickly as he could. I frown, looking at both of them who were looking down at me with a smile.
"Fiona, why don't you come upstairs with us? We have something to tell you." My father said, I frown again but obediently agreed and followed them upstairs to my father's room.
As we entered the room, I watched my father close the door before walking over to Miss. Jackson and I were sitting on the bed. My father first cleared his throat before sitting down next to Miss Jackson and took her hands in his. A frown immediately made its way to my face as I looked at both of them in confusion.
'What am I seeing?' I said to myself, I couldn't believe it when I saw it. My father held Miss Jackson's hand like they were a couple.
"Fiona…" My father began, I averted my eyes from their hands to look at him and he looked like he was hesitating to say something.
"Miss. Jackson and I…are together now." I looked at both of them with wide eyes.
I couldn't believe what I just heard. They are actually together? Did my plans work? I thought it would take a long time since my father doesn't know how to approach a woman but my plans actually worked.
"Really?" I asked with a smile, making it way to my lips.
"Yes, Fiona. We are dating now." Miss. Jackson replied and my smile widened.
I stood up, jumping up and down in joy. I couldn't believe that my plan worked. I was so happy that my father and Miss Jackson were finally a couple. Now all I have to do is to get them married and she will become my mother. I will finally have a mother and a very nice one too, no one can bully me again. No one came male fan of me being motherless.
"Yes!" I kept chanting as I continued jumping in joy and laughter of my future mother was heard, I looked up to meet her eye, I opened my arms and she hugged me so tightly.
I hugged her back and then grabbed both of their hands. I was really happy and I couldn't get over the thought that Miss. Jackson and my father are now a couple. We just hugged and cuddled together like a family and loved it. Everything was just perfect and for some reason, I felt strange being around Miss Jackson that made me feel like she is really my real mother.
I looked at her with a smile which she returned but her smile suddenly faded and it caused me to frown.
"Fiona?" She suddenly called, I pulled away from her to meet her eye.
"Yes, Miss.Jackson?" I tilted my head like usual, waiting to hear what she had to say but I felt a little nervous and worried because she didn't look happy at all. She looked rather scared and sad.
I just hope everything is okay and thank whatever she was going to say wouldn't make me sad as well or hurt anyone.
"I have something to tell you too." She said again after a moment of silence.
My father turned to look at her, the look of shock displayed on his face and that was scaring me. That made me even more afraid to hear what she has to say.
"What is it, Miss. Jackson?" I asked but I was scared and nervous at the same time.
I watched as she sighed, thinking and hesitating to say something and I became impatient. I just wanted to know what it was all about.
"I am…." She began and my heart beat increased, feeling nervous as ever.
What is it that she wanted to tell me, she was indeed making me curious and impatient. She sighed again, hesitating to say and her actions were scaring me. Doesn't she want my father again? I wondered how bad whatever she wanted to say was?
"I am your biological mother."
What? For real? I hope I am not dreaming. Is she really my birth mother?
I am speechless but happy at the same time.
