Discovering a stalker

We split up to look for him in the house, we searched everywhere when we couldn’t find him in the house we decided to search outside. Drake and Shelby were smelling the area trying to track him down, Blake was running at high speed looking for him, and I, I stood in the house listening. I remembered them telling me Donnie couldn’t go in the sun he wasn’t able to survive, I went to the one place in the house where it was the darkest and quietest if you wanted to just disappear, the basement. I entered the basement to find Donnie playing his Xbox and looking innocent. I went over and gave him a hug before I smacked him upside his head.
“Ow what was that for?”
“Disappearing and not telling anybody they are all outside looking for you.”
“Sorry the sun was shining in your room so I went to find a dark place, this was the darkest.”
I found him, he’s in the basement the one place we all failed to look. Tell the others please.
“Next time tell us where you are going so we don’t panic.”
“Sorry, Nikki did you know mom was sick before?”
“No, I mean I had a feeling she was hiding stuff from me but I didn’t think much of it she never really was open to me. Granted Blake and I are adopted.”
“You and Blake are adopted, I didn’t know I thought you were blood.”
“Does it make a difference to you knowing we aren’t blood related, because in my eyes you are still my little brother, my best friend. Donnie my heart shattered into a million pieces that day I lost you. you don’t understand how important you are to me.”
“It doesn’t change how I feel about you and Blake we grew up together, we had fun together, besides you two still need to teach me how to snowboard.”
“Don’t worry bud we will, as soon as we have a good snow at the cabin or when we finally get to our new home, but one way or another Nik and I will teach you to snowboard.”
“Thanks Blake.”
“Nikki I know you don’t want to do this anymore but I think this picture would be awesome to do just the three of us.”
“Why Blake? What is so important about it?”
“It’s the day Donnie came into our lives.”
Ten years ago….
Blake was right about this one it was a happy one, at least one of the happy ones in our lives, this was the day mom went into labor with Donnie. We all went to the hospital mom’s contractions were two minutes apart, dad told us to wait in the waiting room until mom was ready for us to come in.
“I was there when you were born Nikki, only because it was in the bathroom with our drug induced father was passed out. But besides all that you were beautiful and I was so happy to have a little sister.”
“How do you feel about a little brother?”
“He isn’t blood, I don’t know how we will be treated after he is born.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well they always wanted to have kids but couldn’t have any that is why we were adopted so this child/baby they are about to have is a miracle baby, we may not be wanted after he is born.”
“Blake I am ashamed you would think or speak such things, if we didn’t want you two we never would have adopted you, you and your sister are very special to us whether you believe it or not. Yes this child is a miracle but that doesn’t mean we will love you two less. He will be allot of work and we will need help from his older siblings, we will need help do you think you are up for the challenge?”
“Yes daddy can we go meet our baby brother?”
“He’s not here yet, but you two can come into the room.”
We stood in the room dad had a video camera he was video taping everything and mom was laughing telling him to stop, she was feeling good, you could tell when she had a contraction her stomach would move. We were there for four hours until mom was fully dilated to being pushing, we had to sit and wait then the baby was born he was so tiny, crying so loud, he was healthy. Mom and dad held him first he was still crying, Blake looked at him then they handed him to me and as soon as he was placed in my arms he stopped crying.
“What’s his name?”
“Well we haven’t thought of a name, what would you like to name him?”
“Donnie Marcus, I like that name and so does he, I love you baby Donnie.”
“Who wants to take a family photo?” One of the nurses said as she took our picture, the nurse looked familiar like I have seen her somewhere, and then I clicked I knew who it was.
Present day….
“The nurse that took our picture that day she looked familiar?”
“What do you mean?”
“Do we, or did mom and dad take pictures of the hospital staff that day?”
“Yeah, why Nikki what’s wrong?”
“Blake just find the picture I will be right back, Drake I need you to come with me for a minute I don’t want to have any more flashbacks at the moment I need your help.”
“Anything for you princess.”
Drake and I went back to my room to look for the picture I was looking for, I had Drake spread them out on the bed until I found the right picture. The woman in the picture was the same lady I saw in the background of almost all of the pictures Blake and I were in.
“Drake do you know who this is? She is in every photo Blake and I are in just in the background.”
“Do you want to take all these back to Blake?”
“Yeah.”
“Here Blake, look.”
“Oh my god, Drake that’s your mom.”
