“Oh god”“Yeah beat her almost to death and left her, I think he thought he killed her and that's the only reason she survived she lay there for two days when a walkers dogs found her, she'd managed to crawl out of the trees to a path they didn’t find any ID so she was a Jane Doe for three months until she woke up and by that time our father and you were gone, she found out she was pregnant with me but she never gave up Niya not once she looked for years and then six months ago she didn't feel well and the next thing she knew she was dying” She bursts into tears and I pull her to me and hug her “She loved you Niya she told me to tell you if I ever found you” we both hold each other as Colt drives us home.“Home sweet home Zoey” Colt says and she sits up and looks out the window“You really live here” she asks me and I nod my head“We live here Zoey” Colt says “The three of us soon to be four” he reaches over and rubs my tummy“Come on girls” he gets out and comes around and opens my door and helps me out“Do you like it” I ask her“Niya it's gorgeous” I smile happy that she likes it“We think so” Colt says pulling me to him“Hungry kiddo or what?”“Starving, I haven’t eaten much this week, I've been so nervous”“Just like your sister” Colt says and Zoey looks at me“Are you ok Niya” she asks me“Oh, Honey I'm fine I told you before he's a worrier, let’s get you settled in and then we'll have some lunch” she walks up the steps slowly behind us I can see she's nervous, I reach out my hand for her and she takes it. I take her straight to her room wanting to give her a bit of space “Ok so this is your room bathrooms next to it Colt and I are down the hall, I hope you like everything” I watch as she looks around the room“Its great Niya thankyou”“Ok well I'll let you get freshened up and I'll be in the kitchen ok honey” she nods at me but before I leave her alone, I walk in and she turns to face me“I really am glad you’re here Zoey, you’re my sister and the moment I found out about you and what happened to mom I wanted you here. I want you to know that Colt and I want you here with us and soon your nephew will be here and he's going to love his Aunty Zoey, I pull her into a hug again and then leave her in her room.****ZoeyThe second I saw her I knew who she was mom and me all in one, I ran straight to her but stopped just as I get to her noticing her belly when she pulls me to her and we cried.“Zoey” she whispered to me“Niya” I whispered back my family my sister and I felt relief I took a breath for the first time since our mother had died, I felt loved in her hug. When we got in the car I tell her about mom looking for her and her Cancer she holds me the whole time and even though I was nervous and still am it's good to know that I have some family. As we drove through town I noticed it was your typical little beachfront town boardwalk and ice-cream parlor the ocean was amazing only ever seeing it on TV the smell salty to the taste people walking around as the sun shone and people laying on the beach and surfers in the ocean with real seagulls flying above. Everything was feeling a little surreal and I missed my mom. When Colt turned into a driveway I saw a yellow house with a huge wrap around porch, I look around and it was quiet. Not like the neighborhood I grew up in, where the houses where crammed in gun fire every night or people were screaming at each other.“Home sweet home Zoey” Colt says and I sit up and look at the house (definitely not what I'm use to)“You really live here” I ask them and they nod their heads“We live here Zoey” Colt says “The three of us soon to be four” he reaches over and rubs Niya tummy and I can see the love these two have for each other“Come on girls” Colt gets out opens my door than walks around helping Niya and grabbing my bag“Do you like it” Niya asks me I smile (mom would have loved this)“Niya it's gorgeous” I tell her as Colt pulls her to him“We think so”“Hungry kiddo or what?” Colt asks me and I feel my tummy rumbling
