Chapter two:
"Did you have fun at your friends house?" Cassandra asked when Jessica got home from her friends
house a couple of hours later. "I had fun, we went to the mall, and then we had a sleep over party."
Jessica replied, "That's good." Cassandra replied, as she nervously rang her hands. "My friend asked if she could spend the night next weekend." Jessica said as she took a seat on the black and white checkered sofa. "We'll have to discuss that with your father, although I'm sure he probably won't mind, not there's something important I've got to tell you." Cassandra replied, "What is it?" Jessica asked, "Well actually never mind, I think I ought to wait to tell when your dad gets back home."
Cassandra replied, stopping herself before she told Jessica the story. "Where is Dad anyway?"
Jessica asked, "He went to the store for some milk and bread." Cassandra replied, "And you can't tell me what you were going to tell me, if dad isn't here?" Jessica asked, "Exactly, for this piece of news I think that it would be best if your dad and I told you together." Cassandra replied, "You seem nervous, it's bad news, I know it, I just know it, you and dad are separated, aren't you?" Jessica asked nervously, Cassandra shook her head, she wished it were that simple. Because telling her that she and her father were separated was probably easier, than telling her that was adopted. "No, your dad and I
aren't getting separated ." Cassandra assured her.
"Alright, your mom and I need to tell you something." Jacob said, sometime later, after he took a seat
next to Cassandra on the sofa. Jessica looked at them curiously, the last time they'd talked with her together, was the time, they'd told her that her pet dog, had been dog napped when she was five. "What's going on?" Jessica asked as she looked from one parent to another. "First of all, we want you to know that we love you very much, and we hope that what we're about to tell you, won't change how you feel about us." Cassandra started nervously, "What is it?" Jessica asked, a confused expression crossed your face. "Do you want to tell her, or should I be the one to tell her?" Cassandra asked, "I'll tell her." Jacob replied, "Your mom and I adopted you when you were a new born," Jacob replied, much to Jessica's shock, she now felt completely lost. All these years she thought that this had been the family she'd been born into, and to find out otherwise was a disapoitment. Without uttering a single word, Jessica got up and made a beeline to her bedroom, where she stayed for the rest of the day.

Jessica
Chapter one:
"Do you want to be the one to tell Jessica or should I be the one to tell her that she's been adopted?"
Cassandra asked Jacob. It was Friday afternoon, and she and Jacob where sitting in their living room,
drinking coffee and eating coffee cake, and talking about whether or not they should tell Jessica
that they'd adopted her at birth. "Why do we need to tell Jessica at all that she's been adopted?"
Jacob asked after he'd taken a couple of sips of his coffee. "Because we promised her birth
mother that we'd tell her on her fifteenth birthday that we'd tell her that she'd been adopted."
Cassandra reminded him as she sat back in her chair, her cup of coffee in hand. "Well, sense we promised her birth mother we'd tell her that she's been adopted, then we really don't have a choice but to tell her, and I think we ought to tell her together." Jacob replied as he placed his coffee cup back
on the coffee table in front of him, and reached for his plate of coffee cake. "I think we ought to tell
her, right after she comes back from her friends house." Cassandra replied, after she'd taken a
couple more sips of her coffee and then leaned forward and placed her now empty coffee cup on
the coffee table in front of her, and leaned back on the chair. "I think that would be a good idea, or maybe we could pick her up from her friends house, and take her to a coffee shop and tell her
over a cup of coffee." Jacob suggested, Cassandra thought for a minute before replying, "I don't
think that would be a good idea, I think we should wait for her to get back from her friends house."
Cassandra replied, "Alright, if that's when you want to tell her, then that's what we're going to do,
when should she back home from her friends house?" Jacob asked after he'd chewed and swallowed a couple of bites of his slice of coffee cake. "Yeah, I think it would be a better plan, to tell Jessica
at home that she's been adopted, because we don't know how she's going to handle it, once
we've told her that she's been adopted." Cassandra replied as she leaned forward, and reached for
her plate of sliced coffee cake.
