You can be mad at me if you want to for this long of a wait for our reunion. I’ll take the blame if you’re angry. Please, Allyn wanted to share the information with you so much sooner but I made her wait. I’m sorry if I hurt you again in waiting… I just wanted it to be right between us, that you’d be open to meeting me again and today felt like the right time.”

“It’s fine, Mom. Like I said, everything happens for a reason. I’m not mad or hurt. I’m simply excited that you’re actually standing here in front of me. I’m still in quite a bit of shock, but I’m so thankful. Hold me again, please.” Bette requested and Maxine hugged her close. When they broke the hug, Maxine continued her story.

“Your siblings are fraternal twins. They were created when your father raped me before he threw me out of our house saying that I was a whore because I had talked to one of his colleagues… He went crazy on me thinking I was having an affair… It wasn’t true, I swear.   Have you seen or know where Kit is? I have wondered about the two of you for so long.”

“Kit’s in LA… I used to live there as well but a horrible thing happened and I moved here to have a fresh start with my life. She turned her back on me along with my best friends. I lost everything that I had worked so hard for, but I know that I caused my own ruin. I was an egotistical, arrogant bitch and placed so many demands on so many including my friends and wife… and having a stubborn streak like my father… well, as I said, I caused my own ruin and lost my wife in the process, but it’s another story for another time.

When I moved here, Ozzie and I found each other, we found a home and I found this job… But the most important part was that I found an amazing counselor that’s assisted me in turning my life around for the better. I’m almost opposite of who I was in LA and I’m quite proud of that.”

“Oh, please, pinch me so that I know that this moment is real.” Maxine said to her daughter as she pulled her in close once again. Soon, there was a little tap at the door. Bette and Maxine turned towards it and heard a little voice.

“Mom? Mom, it Ozzie… can I open door pease?”

“Yes, sweetie, come in.” Bette replied and the door opened a little and Ozzie stuck his head inside.

“Mom, someone here see you, k?”

“Sure sweetie, let them in.” Bette replied thinking it was Lynn and Andrew who had finally arrived. When Ozzie opened the door wider, she was shocked. It was Kit standing there with tear-filled eyes.
