As soon as his blood got deposited on the glass, it automatically went inside the chamber and the DNA testing started. After few seconds the bar on the top of that chamber turned green as it showed 99.9% DNA match.
As soon as it turned green the door of the locker got opened…
"The hell. It is just a photo album and some doc.u.ments. I thought there will be something else" Jeff said. He chuckled as he saw the things inside. It also had a soft toy which might belong to their little brother Jasper.
Jean opened the doc.u.ments and flipped them. After looking at them Jean's face etched with confusion as her eyebrows wrinkled, forming three horizontal lines on her forehead.
"What is there inside?" Jeff asked as he placed the soft toy aside.
"Read" Jean said and handed him the doc.u.ments.
Later she took the huge photo album and opened it.
The first photo is of Jasper. The first photo they took as soon as he was born.
Jean flipped to another page and as soon as she saw the picture, she covered her mouth with her hand. She is shocked…
It is the photo of triplets.
In those triplets one is her and other one is Jeff.
"We are three, not two. Jeff…we are triplets…not twins!!" Jean exclaimed in shock. "What happened to other one" she asked looking at her brother. By how he reacted when she told him, she realized that he is already aware of that fact.
"He died the very next day. Even Jasper had a twin sister who died as soon as she came out of the w.o.m.b. Weak heart beat and couldn't adapt to the outside atmosphere. She couldn't breathe so she died in span of minutes. But our brother died next day after we have born." Jeff said. He didn't dare to tell her that their brother was killed by second young master of Braxton.
"God!! Our family have such a messed-up pregnancies" Jean sadly sighed and her hand involuntarily caressed her baby bump. She couldn't help but worry.
Jeff sighed and sat beside her on the bed. "Sissy, don't worry. Till now, every report of your pregnancy showed that the baby is healthy" he said.
None of them knew if it was twins or triplets or single.
Only their grandmother and Mia know but they decided to keep it as secret from others. It will be exciting for the new couple to experience.
Jean nodded her head and leaned on to his shoulder and rested her head as she closed, he eyes. Jeff sighed and patted her cheek for few seconds before flipping to next page.
As soon as he opened it, his heart almost stopped and his hand shivered.
"Sis, I think you have to see this" Jeff said.
Jean opened her exhaustive eyes and looked at the photo.
Her reaction is no worse than her brother's…
"F*ck. What is this?" Jean shouted as she frantically flipped the other pages of the album. Every photo belonged to a particular couple and the it is evident that woman was pregnant and radiating with happy glow.
If those photos belonged to their parents Sophia and Jonathan, they would not have reacted like this. But unfortunately, these photos don't belong to their parents.
Though the woman resembled Sophia in almost every aspect she is clearly not Sophia.
It is Maria and Jonathan.
It is her father and aunt.
In one of the photos, Jonathan and Maria are exchanging their engagement rings.
And in another photo, even Sophia is there but she is happily smiling at the couple as she kissed Maria's cheek. Jonathan is grinning while his hands are wrapped around the shoulders of twin sisters. Sophia and Maria are sitting while Jonathan is standing behind them with his arms wrapped around their shoulders.
Both the ladies are pregnant. Sophia is heavily pregnant while Maria was in her early stage…almost four months, not more than it. But Sophia was clearly in her seventh or eighth month.
"What the hell?" Jeff cursed as he looked at that picture.
"It means my dad is not our father, Jean said with teary eyes. He is Maria's fiancé.
"You are right. Jonathan is not your father. He was my boyfriend with whom I got engaged with your mother's help" Maria said as she entered the room. She has been following them ever since they entered the bas.e.m.e.nt.
Her eyes are full of tears and her body is shaking as she sobbed.
"Mom" Jeff quickly supported her and made her sit on the bed.
Jean and Jeff shared a concerned look but they let her release all the agony she was hiding in her heart. Jean gently patted her aunts back as she comforted her silently. She has many questions in her mind and it is almost in verge of looing its sanity because of the questions that are flooding her brain.
After a while of silence, Maria succeeded in controlling her emotions. This is the exact reason she has been moody and sad all along.
"I don't now who your father is…., Sophia and Jonathan never told me what happened to him. So, I came to my conclusions that he died" she said.
"Jasper?" Jeff asked.
"I recently got the DNA test of his. He is not Jonathan's son" Maria told.
At first, she though Jonathan and Sophia are parents of Jasper. After all they lived under the same roof for more than a decade. It is quite common to develop feelings for each other especially when she looks just like his fiancée.
But she is wrong, Jonathan and Sophia are not his parents and Jasper's DNA matched perfectly with Jean and Jeff's. That means they share a same father and that also means their father might be alive.
"He is your brother." she added.
"That means…" Jean almost choked.
"There are high chances that your father might be alive" Maria completed Jean's sentence.
