My Niece Is My Daughter

I'm Adopted?

Amanda is in class when her phone buzzes.. 

Nicole: Hi. Is this Amanda Garcia? 

Amanda: Yes? Can I help you? 

Nicole: My name is Nicole, and I am your sister. 

Amanda: I think you have me mixed up with someone else. I don't have any sisters. I'm an only child. 

Nicole: No I'm serious! It's true. 

Amanda: I'm sorry, I really think you have me confused with someone else. 

Nicole: I can prove it to you. 

Amanda: How? 

Nicole: Meet me. 

Amanda: And why would I do that? 

Nicole: Because you wanna know how I am going to prove that I am your sister as much as I wanna prove that I am your sister. 

Amanda: What the hell.. Sure. When and where? 

Nicole: Tonight, meet me at the corner of Parkway Central. 

Amanda: You live on Parkway central? Me too. 

Nicole: Good. 6pm? 

Amanda: Okay. 

Nicole: Good. See you then. 

Amanda finishes out the rest of her day at school and then she heads home. She just finished dance practice and has about 30 minutes or so before she has to meet Nicole. Amanda puts on her jacket and heads downstairs to let her mother know where she was going in case they needed her. 

Amanda: Mom? 

Amanda's Mom: In here. 

Amanda walks into the living room where her mom is sitting on the couch, watching Sons Of Anarchy...Again. 

Amanda: Mom, I am going to go for a walk. 

Amanda's Mom: Okay be back by 11. 

Amanda: Okay. 

Amanda walks out to Parkway Central where a girl was standing. 

Amanda: Nicole? 

Nicole: Amanda. 

Amanda: Well I'm here. Now what? I have until 11. 

Nicole: Let's go back to my house. 

Amanda: Okay. 

The girls go to Nicole's house and they walk inside. 

Amanda: So you said that you had a way to prove it to me that we are sisters. 

Nicole: I do.

Amanda: How? 

The girls head upstairs at Nicole's house and they hear a baby cry out. The girls go into a room that is a nursery. 

Nicole: Amanda I want you to meet your niece, Mia. 

Amanda: She's beautiful. Is this how you are going to prove that you are my sister. 

Nicole: Part of it. 

Amanda: What's the other part? 

Nicole: Come with me. 

The girls go into the kitchen to find a woman sitting at the kitchen table. 

Nicole: Mom? This is Amanda. Amanda, this is our mother. 

Woman: Hi, I'm Jessica. 

Amanda: Hi I'm Amanda. 

Jessica: I know. Sit, please. 

Amanda and Nicole sit across from Jessica at the table. 

Jessica: Amanda, I know this is a lot to take in but it's true what Nicole told you. I am your birth mother. I gave birth to you but because I thought I wasn't ready to be a mother, I gave you up for adoption. I gave Nicole up too. But it's the truth. You are adopted. 

Amanda: This is the truth? 

Jessica: It sure is. 

Amanda: Wow so this is real. 

Nicole: What are you thinking? 

Amanda: I need to go home and talk to my mom but I will be back. 

Jessica: I hope so. 

Amanda goes home and finds her mom still in the living room. 

Amanda: Mom i need to talk to you. 

Amanda's mom: What? 

Amanda: Mom, am I your daughter? 

Amanda's Mom: Of course you are. 

Amanda: I met this girl at school. Her name is Nicole and she is who I met up with tonight, she took me to her house and she introduced me to her mother and her daughter. She said that I am her sister and then her mother confirmed it with all of these documents. So I will ask you this once, am I adopted? 

Amanda's Mom: Yes. You are. 

Amanda ran out of the room and went to her bedroom. She got a suitcase and put everything that she considered valuable in the suitcase and then went to Nicole's house. 

Nicole: Hi. 

Amanda: Hi. 

Nicole hugged Amanda as Amanda cried, Amanda had never felt like she belonged and she didn't understand why but now she did. It was because her home with her "mom" was never where she was supposed to be.
