Paula stood quietly registering all the new information into her mind she was neither angry or disappointed with her daughter just shocked; shocked that her little sweet and innocent baby girl managed to knock a girl of Hayden’s size unconscious not that Hayden was large but compared to Spencer she was quite abit bigger “Spencer im not mad she provoked you most people would have reacted the same way” both Spencer and Ashley looked up shocked then looking at each other confused.

 A few moments later Glen and Arthur came into Spencers room; Glen sat on the computer chair whilst Arthur stood just inside the door way facing Spencer and Ashley he was soon joined by his wife who spoke quietly “we need to tell them the truth Arthur I don’t think its fair on any of us especially the kids” the aging man nodded followed by a heavy sigh which got the attention of the two Carlin children Ashley was to content with playing with her girlfriends hands to notice.

 Arthur stepped forward a little clearing his throat before he spoke “Spencer Glen your mother and I have something to tell you” Ashley got up knowing this was going to be a serious family discussion so she excused herself and left for home but not before giving Spencer a reassuring and a short and sweet kiss on the lips that soon followed.

The Carlin’s excluding the now resting Hayden all sat around the dining table the younger two sat still preparing themselves for what they were about to hear from their parents, Arthur leant on the table slightly cupping his hands together whilst Paula looked straight at her children clearly she was going to be giving the information as Arthur just sat staring at his hands “first of all we apologise for not telling you sooner but we were hoping a day like this would never come” Paula sighed before continuing “the truth is Hayden is not your sister in fact she has no blood relation to us what so ever, she was left in my specific care due to her mother dieing just after giving birth to her” Spencer was shocked but stayed silent unlike Glen “so why did her mum leave her in your care?” Arthur began to fidget he never did like hearing about parts of Paula’s past, the eldest blonde nodded accepting the question “well back in college I was still trying to find myself that’s when I met Harmony and you know how it is I thought I was in love we were together for 2yrs but then she said she cheated on me with some guy called Dakota Harrison the college pimp horrible man he actually looked very similar to me anyway I finished with her then met this wonderful man” Paula reached out cupping her husbands hands receiving a smile “so we finished college me and your father married got a house together then just 6 months after we had Glen child services came knocking with the baby in hand saying that Harmony’s last words were to give her little girl to me so she could be loved and cared for then she died” Paula stared to cry hard she had always found it difficult talking about Harmony as she still had a place in her heart, Arthur rubbed his wife’s shoulders encouraging her to finish “so w-we called her Hayden because that’s what H-Harmony said she would call her child if she ever had any back when we were together”.
