Season 2 Episode 17

Blue's POV

"It's challenge's day " Pearl responded.

"Who are you?" Mom asked and she clapped her hands.

"Mrs Givens... I guess the photos are different now huh?" She said,

"What are you doing here?...you tried your very best to kill my sister" I barked.

"Yes that's true and I also tried my very best to tell you that your sis isn't dead" she replied.

"Would you stop this drama and tell us why you're here?" Kaycee asked immediately.

"Why are you acting like I'm not welcome in my own home?" She said and we all scoffed.

Surprisingly at the same time.

What does she mean by her home??

"If you have nothing good to say pls leave" Zara chipped in.

"I don't understand this family at all... Can you imagine an outsider sending a family member out of the house?"She asked and everyone looked confused.

I looked at mom and she had this unexplainable look on her face.

"Family member??" I asked.

"Pearl just chill and don't call anyone here an outsider" Ally cautioned.

"Are you ready to speak or should someone else do that for you?" Pearl asked Mom rudely.

"This woman over here is my very own mother!!" Pearl said and my eyes beamed.

"I reject that!!" Chelsea retaliated.

She was able to sit up on the bed by herself...

"Blue... There's something you need to know" Mona said.

"You're summoned by Erisa in the sea" Mel said.

"Erisa??" Mom said agape.

"What... Why?" Mom asked.

Who's Erisa??

"Erisa who?" I asked.

"Well Erisa is the Goddess of the sea, '' Mona replied.

Whaaat????

"Wait ... Why all this at once.. this witch here calls my mom her mom and then there's Erisa, who no one cares about" Chelsea said.

This sister of mine hasn't changed a bit...

"Mind your tongue"Pearl barked.

"And since I don't want to.. pls do something about it" Chelsea retorted.

"Ok enough!!!" Mom shouted.

"Just tell the truth," Dad said calmly.

Dad knows???

"There's something I'd like to say," Mom said calmly.

"Go on... we're listening" Chelsea said.

"Actually this happened a long time ago.. a.. about 18 years ago" Mom stuttered and everyone seemed interested in the story.

The room became as silent as a graveyard and even the drop of a pin would be heard.

"Just a year after the twins were born... I had another child" Mom confessed.

Whaaat!!!

"You what??" Chelsea asked.

"I'm really sorry ... I just had no other choice" Mom said and I could see Pearl crying in Ally's arms and mom staring keenly at her.

Zara held until me as I stood gobsmacked..

Is she talking about Pearl?...

"Continue!!" Kaycee said coldly.

"When she was born, we conducted the test on her and she was positive for it and we had to take her back" Mom rushed and I gawped at her.

"What test and where did you take her?" I asked.

"That test I conducted on you Blue .. the cups with sand and water?" Ally said and I gasped.

I just remembered.. that was the day I got hit by a dodge ball during practice.

"I want you and the twins to understand this... Pearl is your sister" Mom said and Chelsea jumped from the bed and stood on her feet.

"Be careful!!" Mom said and tried to touch her.

"Don't you even..." Chelsea barked and restrained her from doing it.

"You hid such a big thing from us and you're telling us this after 18 years"Chelsea shouted.

"It wasn't her fault," Dad said.

"You're also aware of this... So you both have being the bad guys in this story all along" Kaycee stated harshly.

"I had to choose... It all happened because I loved your father and I couldn't let him go after the very first time we met, and it's a rule in the sea that whatever belongs to it shall return to it... At least one of them" Mom said.

"Yes... And Pearl is your older sister Blue so you have to take it that way" Ally said.

She pushed Ally and she walked straight to me and hugged me.

She's my sister.

I hugged her back tightly ... I can't believe I'm saying this but I really felt good hugging her.

We unlocked the hug and she looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry" she said and gulped hard.

"No... It's okay... We're the one that should be sorry" I said and she smiled.

"Oh no .... We are not sorry for anything" Chelsea said.

Chelsea's POV

I can't believe my own mom has such a big thing from us.

It feels like I've been asleep for 30 years.

"Pearl!" Mom called with tears In her eyes.

She pulled in for a hug and they hugged tightly.. she pecked her face numerous times.

Oh God.

"Why... Why did you let me go?" She asked tearily.

"It wasn't my fault... It was a rule" mom replied.

"Do you know why I gave you that name Pearl?... It's because you were supposed to be my last child and I wanted you to be the symbol of mine and your dad's love .. We tested the twins and they came out negative but we tested you and you were positive.... I wanted you to be a reminder to me about the life I left behind just to be with your dad"Mom said and I coughed...

"So this means that you're not Blue's mom???"
