“Judy, sweetheart. I’m so glad you are here. I’ve missed you so much,” my mother says as she wraps me in her arms. Tears were pricking her eyes when she pulled back to look at me, and then my chest tightened with guilt.

I hadn’t seen my parents in the last couple of weeks. Things have been so hectic, and I hadn’t been sure how to talk to them. With everything that I’ve found out about myself… about my real family…how could I break it to them that I’m in contact with my birth family?

I didn’t want to hurt their feelings.

“I made up the guest bedrooms,” my mother told me, greeting Irene and Matt with a hug each. I loved how my family and Gavin’s family got along so well. My mother treated them like they were her grandchildren, and it warmed my heart to see their faces light up.

It was rare lately for Irene to smile since the whole Chuck thing, but when she saw my parents, she had a big smile on her face, then hugged them, which made me smile.

“Thank you for your hospitality, Michelle,” Gavin said, giving my mother a side hug. “My family and I are grateful to you.”

“Of course,” my mother said, smiling up at him. “Judy is my daughter, and anyone she has in her life is family to me. I was worried when Beta Taylor reached out and told us that you ended up staying here for a few days. He wouldn’t get into specifics about any of it. Something about a protest happening at the Villa.”

“Is there something we need to know about?” My father asked, his bushy brows furrowed as he stared at my mate.

“There’s a lot you need to know,” Gavin told him, his tone becoming formal as he addressed my father. “I apologize for not keeping you in the loop sooner. My mate wanted to tell you what was happening herself, and I’m here to support her in that.”

My father looked at me, his brows raised.

ठ

“Judy?” He asked, and I knew exactly what he was asking; he wanted to know what was going on in my life, and I needed to come clean and tell him the truth.

I turned to Gavin, and though I was nervous, I said, “I need to talk to them alone.”

Gavin raised his brows.

“Are you sure?” He asked.

I nodded, nibbling on my lower lip.

“Is everything okay?” My mother asked, suddenly sounding extremely worried. “You have me scared, sweetie.”

I turned to her, tears glistening in my eyes.

“Everything will be fine. But it’s something I need to tell you, and I hope you won’t react badly,” I told her.

Her face paled.

“Is it the baby?” She asked, her voice going hoarse. “Did something happen?”

I shook my head quickly, realizing how this must sound.

“No! The baby is fine. I promise,” I assured her, watching her body relax.

I turned to Gavin and peeked up at him; he was watching me curiously, and I didn’t even have

to say any words. He smiled at me and then leaned down to brush his lips across mine.

“Gross,” Matt said, crinkling his nose and making me laugh against Gavin’s lips.

Gavin pulled away and then turned to his kids.

“Okay, guys. Let’s get settled upstairs,” he told them, guiding them away.

I turned to my parents, who were watching me warily, before my mother took hold of gently.

“How about we sit in the living room?” She suggested..

I nodded and went with them to the living room. I sat on the couch, with my mother on one side of me and my father on the other.

“So, what’s going on, Judy Bear?” My father asked, turning to look at me; my mother did the same, both their eyes piercing my side.

I took a deep breath before speaking; this wasn’t going to be easy, but I needed them to know the truth.

“I found my birth family,” I said, pausing for a moment for them to gather what I had just said.

My mother tensed beside me, but my father made no movements. He just continued to look at me, both of them remaining silent as they waited for me to continue speaking.

“I’ve been curious about them for a long time… and I found them. Actually, I found out more than I was hoping to. That woman you told me about… Meg… she’s not my real mom.”

“Judy-” my mom started to say, but my father gave her a look that made my insides twist, and it silenced her. She pressed her lips together and stared down at her hands, waiting for me… or someone… to continue speaking.

“It turns out… I was switched at birth. My real family is the Blackwells, and I’m apparently the heiress who inherited all this magic. I know it sounds bizarre, but—”

My mother’s sob silenced me, and I turned to look at her. Her face was pale, and she had tears pouring out of her eyes.

“I’m so sorry,” my mother said, wiping at her eyes.

“Shelly…” my father started to say, his voice softer than I had ever heard it.

She gave him a look that silenced him.

“She deserves to know, Richard,” my mother told him.

My entire body tensed at her words; they were keeping something from me, and my insides felt like they were going to explode.

My father let out a breath.

“I know…” he finally said after a long pause. “I was just hoping we had a little more time.”

“Me too,” my mother whispered.

“What is going on?” I asked, staring between the two of them, my brows furrowed and my heart

my throat. “You’re keeping something from me?”

“Before we tell you, just know that we love you so much and we only wanted to protect you,” my father told me, reaching out and touching my hand. “We never wanted to lie to you… But we knew if you knew the truth, you’d want to find out more information, and you’d come across more than you can handle,”

“We wanted you to live a simple life,” my mother said as more tears filled her eyes. “We never wanted the weight of the world to rest on your shoulders because it’s not fair to you. We are so sorry for not telling you the truth from the beginning, sweetie.”

My heart dropped into my stomach as I blinked at them-realization dawning on me in an instant.

“Wait…” I said, trying to wrap my mind around what they were telling me.

“Are you saying… You knew?” I asked, my voice coming out shaky.

They both nodded slowly.

“Yes, we knew,” my father replied. “And we are so sorry…”

I shook my head and quickly stood to my feet, needing some distance between us. I turned to look at them.

“What exactly do you already know?”

“When you were born, we held you in our arms, and then they took you away. An hour later, they brought you back… and you weren’t you,” my mother said between her tears.

“I mean… technically you were you… But you weren’t you before,” my father clarified.

“You weren’t the baby we initially held,” my mother said softly, standing to her feet.

“And you didn’t say anything?” I asked, my brows furrowed. “Why?”

“Meg thought it was better that way… she wanted her baby protected and far away from her family. She thought maybe it would be for the best if she were with a family she knew nothing about… that way her baby could remain hidden.”

“So, what?” I asked, staring between the two. “I’m a decoy?”

My mother sucked in a sharp breath.

“We never thought of you as a decoy. We love you so much, Judy. And we were going to tell you the truth once you were older. We had no idea about you being a Blackwell or having magic at the time. And then when we did find out…”

“Wait, you knew about the magic, too?” I asked, my mouth parted in shock.

“Yes,” my father said, also standing to his feet. “We were informed a few years later, and we knew we had to protect you no matter what. So we agreed never to tell you. If you didn’t know… then there wouldn’t be an issue. You’ll never get your magic, and you’ll remain safe.”

Hurt flashed in my eyes as I took a step away from them.

“You kept something this important from me because you were afraid?” I asked, tears swirling in my eyes. “And you think that’s a good enough excuse?”

“Of course not,” my mother said, stepping closer to me. “This is coming out wrong…”

“You realize you pretty much kidnapped me and then kept my identity a secret for years?” I asked, my voice coming out bitter.

My mother looked like I had just slapped her, and my father’s face turned red.

“Judy-”

“I think I’ve heard enough. If you’ll excuse me,” I said, and then I turned and stormed out, leaving them staring after me in shock.
