I pulled into my parent’s driveway and sat in my car for a few
moments before heading inside. The results of my second test with 23andMe
still rattled me. One screw-up I could see, but a second screw-up, not likely.
Taking a deep breath, I climbed out of my car and stepped through the front
door of the house I grew up in—a home where many happy memories were
made.
“There you are.” My mother smiled as I walked into the kitchen.
“Hey, Mom.” I kissed her cheek.
“What’s wrong? I can tell something is wrong,” she said.
“Nothing is wrong. I’m just hungry. I was in surgery all day and barely
ate.”
“Well, we’ll take care of that in about ten minutes.”
“Where’s Dad?”
“He’s upstairs changing. He’ll be down shortly.”
I walked out of the kitchen and over to the cabinet where my father kept
his liquor. Pulling out a glass and the bottle of scotch, I poured myself a drink
and threw it down the back of my throat. As I poured another, my father
walked into the living room.
“Hey, son.” He walked over and hugged me.
“Hey, Dad.”
“Tough day?” A smirk crossed his lips.
“Yeah. Tough day.”
“Dinner is ready, boys.” We heard my mother shout.
My father and I walked into the dining room, and I sat in my usual seat.
I’d been sitting in the same chair since I was out of a highchair.
“So. How was your day?” my mother asked as she passed me the bowl of
spaghetti and meatballs.
“It was okay. I was in surgery all day.” I placed some on my plate.
As I sat there, different scenarios ran through my head at what those test
results meant. Did my father have a secret family? Was I adopted, and they
never told me? I couldn’t wrap my head around it. As much as I didn’t want
to bring it up, I had no choice.
“The strangest thing happened,” I said.
“Oh yeah? What happened, son?” my father asked.
“I got some results from a test I took a while ago.”
“What test did you do?” my mother asked. “Are you okay?”
“Actually, I printed out a copy.” I reached into my back pocket, took out
the folded piece of paper, opened it, and handed it to my mother.
I sat there and watched the color drain from her face, almost as if she was
going to pass out.
“Caroline, what is it?” My father reached over and took the paper from
her.
The look on his face told me things were about to get ugly. My father
stared at me as he cleared his throat.
“This is ridiculous. Why the hell would you do this test anyway? I
thought we talked about this!” His voice raised. “Now your DNA is out there,
and God knows what these people will do with it. This proves they’re shady.
It’s a conspiracy!”
His voice was shaking, and when I looked at my mother, she lowered her
head and refused to look at me.
