After a bit of waiting, the doctor came back with a clip board before she spoke to them. "Well Mark, it seems like she is in fact your daughter. The DNA matches to the cue. There is a 99.9% match between Serena and you."
Mark let out a relief sigh and hugged Serena tightly. "Thank *ing goodness you're my daughter. I was so worried about finding you all this time."
"Does...Does that mean I've been living with my cousins and uncle this entire time Papa?" Serena asked looking up at him
"Yes it does. I do apologize that it took me this long to figure out what to do about this situation Serena."
"I don't wanna live with them anymore-I want to live with you. You are my papa after all." Serena said with a smile
"I wouldn't mind that at all. But I have to make space for you, right now that's not an option."
"So...how long am I going to have to wait to be with you papa?"
"Give me a few days. I promise it won't take me too long. I want to be able to take better care of you. As of right now where I live isn't ready for you to live there with me." Mark said seriously
"Of course papa."
Mark thanked the doctor and left out with Serena, When they got to the waiting room Jake got up. "So, how'd it go?" Jake asked Mark curiously
"For once that * was able to be truthful to me. Serena is in fact my daughter by blood. I guess I have to thank Noah for at least keeping my kid alive all this time. Though I'm not all that happy to hear what has happened to her." Mark said seriously
"Yeah, that's a * up on Noah's part that's for sure. He should have known better than to keep that dilequent around Serena like that. We should let Noah know about this." Jake stated
"No *. Let's get going the sooner he knows the better." Mark said with a nod of his head
Once they got back to Noah's place, Serena left the car with her father and uncle before going up the steps. Serena stayed close to Mark as they went into the living room. "Did you get the results Mark?" Noah asked Curiously
"We did, it matched to the cue. She's my daughter." Mark said with his arms crossed
"I thought she looked familiar. It's why I chose her. I'm glad to hear that you found your daughter Mark. I know you've been bat * crazy about finding her."
"Yeah, but before I can take her I need to make space for her. Think you can keep a hold of her until I'm able to get space ready for her?" Mark asked as he placed a hand on the top of Serena's head softly
"Yeah, I don't see that being a problem." Noah said with a shrug
Nile and Mitchel were in the room when they heard the trio males speak. "Wait...hold up. Are you three saying that Serena is actually our cousin?!" Nile asked confused
"Apparently."Noah stated "You both know how your Uncle Mark has had to go through a divorice with his ex-wife right?"
"Yeah what about it?" Mitchel asked
"Well at that time she was pregnant, she didn't know whose daughter it was-so it wasn't a hundred percent gaurantee that the child that she had been pregnant with was mine or not. She was supposed to let the court know about the DNA of the child-but she never did and I actually had to arrest the * for what she had done against court orders. It was then that I had found out about why she had chosen to place the child in the orphanage she placed the child in. She told me that the child was female and the child was mine. She didn't want to have anything to do with me so she chose to throw the child away like it was nothing to her instead of letting me know where my own damn child was." Mark explained
"Oh damn-that's some bull *." Mitchel said
"You're not upset with us are you?" Nile asked concerned
She shook her head no. "Why would I be upset with the two of you for, technically speaking you two never did anything bad to me?"
"Well we did treat you bad."Mitchel stated
"Yeah, and we both have said some bad * about you"
She shrugged. "Comes with being adopted I guess. I don't hold anything against you guys-though I will never see Tyler as family."
"That's fair-after what he had done to you it's only fair that you don't see him as family." Mitchel said with his arms crossed
"But this does mean that I have to call CPS and let them know about this development." Noah said with a sigh
"Don't just yet-I know damn well with how I have my house right now that I wouldn't be able to have custody of Serena." Mark said with a sigh
"Let me guess it's a big ass mess isn't it?" Noah asked
Mark averted his eyes saying nothing to his brother, Noah shook his head. "Listen Mark, I get this has been making you go bonkers because of what your ex has done to you but you shouldn't have let it get to you that damn bad. If you want Serena to live with you that damn bad let her help you out. It'll give you time to bond with her and get to know her better."
Serena's eyes lit up as she looked at her father. "Please?! I don't mind cleaning things up. And I really do wanna be able to spend time with you papa!" She said happily and excited
Mark let out a small sigh before he looked at Serena. "If that's what you want to do then I won't refuse the help. It might take the entire day so pack what you can to stay over for the night."
Serena's brown eyes lit up and she nodded her head. "Okay papa!" She said happily before she went up to her room and packed what she'd need.
As she did Ciel spoke up. "what are you doing Serena?"
"I'm going to be spending time with my real father!" She said happily. "It seems like this family is actually my uncle and cousins...and one of the people who I thought were my uncles is actually my father."
"Oh I see, so I won't be seeing you for the rest of the day then."
She shook her head. "sadly no." she said before she got all of her things ready before she left out.
When she got downstairs Mark was waiting for her and the two of them left out together which excited Serena to be able to spend time with her father. When they got to the apartment where her father lived at he took a deep breath and he unlocked the door before he opened it. Serena didn't seem all that phased by how bad the house looked when she went in. She placed her bag down to the side before she looked at her father. "Papa, where are the trash bags?"
"Hold on sweetie, let me get them. I don't want you to get hurt walking through this place."
"Okay."
Mark soon came back with a garbage bag and a pair of disposable blue gloves for her. "Here sweet heart, you don't want to touch anything in here with your bare hands."
"Alrighty then." She said before she placed the gloves on and began to clean up where she was so she had a path way.
While they cleaned up the living room, Mark spoke up to her. "So Serena, do you have any hobbies?"
"I like reading, drawing, Singing and playing my two instruments." She said with a smile
"You're musically talented? Guess you got that from your mother. I was never one for music. What instruments do you play?"
"Violin and Clarinet." She stated with a smile
"So you're in orchestra and the regular band in school then."
"Mhm, as well as Chorus. I'm a soprano."
"Interesting, You have a concert coming up in a few weeks don't you?"
She nodded her head. "I do."
"Consider me there, I want to be able to be a part of your life from here on out. Speaking of that-What did you want for your birthday?"
Serena hummed out in thought. "I honestly don't know. Knowing that you're my father is more than enough for me right now." She said with a smile
Hearing what she said made him stop cleaning up and look at her. "How the hell did I end up having such a sweet kind hearted girl for my daughter?" He said before he hugged her tightly
She hugged him back with a smile. "All I've ever wanted was to be able to know who my parents are. Knowing that you're my father is more than enough for me. I know that you'll care and love me better than uncle Noah had."
