Oh ight so we are doing backstories?... Bet I got y'all.

If y'all were wondering why my brother and I have different ethnicities, then I'm about to tell y'all why. Our mother was an exotic dancer and you can already know what else has happened.

She didn't tell us until we were old and mature enough. Me being me I was pissed and Jayden was "concerned." My dad was Dominican and Jayden's dad, who is my stepdad, is Latino.

But I will show you the time where I was finding out that I was having a baby brother.

*FlashBack*

I was pretending to be asleep because one night I heard my mom leaving me alone in the house. But this night was different.

I heard her throwing up. I was scared for her, being a one year old and all. I got out of my bed and checked on her.

"Mommy! Are you okay!" She lifted her head out of the toilet.

"Yes Kyle, I'm okay, go back to sleep." I didn't go back. "I'll be in there soon." I trusted her and went back into my room.

Luckily she didn't throw up anymore but she came in the room checking up on me. I was still concerned. She rubbed my forehead and I smiled and got in bed with me. Within minutes I was fast asleep.

****

I woke up the next morning hearing a deep voice. I came out the room seeing an older man. I tried to be as quiet as I could but my mom heard me and turned to face me.

"Come here Kyle." The tall guy looked at me and smiled. I looked at my mom again and she gestured to me to come, so I sat on her lap.

"This is my son Kyle."

"Hola Kyle (Hello Kyle)." I looked at him and blinked then looked at my mom.

"Say hello Kyle, Don't be shy."

"Hello mister..." He smiled and laughed patting my head. I was confused because I didn't know who he was and mom let him touch me like that. So which made me think...

Is this my dad?

****

Some months later...my mom's belly was getting big and I was starting to get weirded out.

"Mom, why does your belly look like that?" I pointed to it and she chuckled and told me to sit down. Then my "dad" sat down next to me.

"Your brother is in there Kyle." Brother!!..

I looked at him smiling and then at my mom still having a smile on my face.

Something told me to say... "Yay!" We all laughed...

<🥀>

The reason I am so fluent in Spanish is because when I was born my dad kept talking in Spanish and my mom would talk in English. She was kind of a translator...if you would think of it that way.

My first words were mama and then papa not dada. My dad would teach me some Spanish so I grew up and caught on quickly. It was weird for me to know two languages at the same time but cool.

When I showed Kyle he understood me instantly which caught me off guard and talked back to me.

"¿Qué quieres hacer hoy? (What do you want to do today?)"

"A mi no me importa." (It doesn't matter to me.)

My eyes widened and smiled then he did the same.

When I first understood Kyle was my brother, I was happy because I kept messing with him and he ended up playing with me.

Kyle and I always have had a great brother relationship. Yea all siblings have their rocky problems but Kyle and I just squashed it and laughed it off.

But there was one thing that always popped up in my mind as we were growing up. "Why is he darker than me?"

I never asked because I didn't think it was important.

Time and time went on and Kyle started to get lighter. So in my head I'm like is that like a body thing or what.

I asked him when we were alone and he said that he was thinking the same thing. I looked like mom and dad but Kyle looked more like mom. It was weird.

Dad came into Kyle's room. "Empaca tus cosas, nos mudamos a otra casa." (Pack your things, we are moving into another house.)

Kyle and I were happy because we were living in a small apartment and it wasn't good for a family.

****

"Kyle! Jayden! Can you come downstairs for a second!" I heard mom yell form downstairs and I opened my door looking at Kyle.

I gave him a "what's going on" look and he shrugged. He went to the stairs first walking down and I followed.

Dad was sitting in his chair and mom was standing up. I leaned down and whispered to Kyle. "Are we in trouble?"

He whispered back at me. "I don't think so. I know I didn't do shit."

We reached the bottom of the stairs and she gestured to us to come sit down. When we both sat down she took a deep breath.

"Ok so, before I tell you this. Just know that I understand any feelings that you feel and that I hope you can forgive me for not telling you sooner."

"Wait Jayden adopted!" Kyle was laughing and I looked at him like it wasn't funny. And he slapped my shoulder.

"Hermano, habla en serio." (Bro, be serious)

"Bien, bien." (Okay. okay)

We both looked back at our mom and she had her head down. Then our dad spoke.

"Tienen que saber la verdad." (They have to know the truth.)

"The truth about what ma?" Kyle seemed like he was getting serious now too.

"Okay, I'm just going to come out and say it. I was an exotic dancer back in the day. Unexpectedly I got pregnant by one of my "clients" and he was Dominican. I don't believe in abortions because I would have to face the consequences of my actions. By the time I knew I was pregnant he was off the radar and nowhere to be seen again."

Kyle got up. "SO YOU'RE TELLING ME I WAS BORN BY ACCIDENT. NOT TO MENTION BY A DOUCHE THAT JUST WANTED TO GET HIS DICK WET FOR A DAY! ALL THEM TIMES YOU LEFT THE HOUSE, YOU WAS SHOWING YOUR BODY!!"

"SIT DOWN BOY!"

"NO BECAUSE WHO ARE YOU AGAIN? MY STEP-DAD?!" Kyle angrily went upstairs and I just sat there watching my mom tear up.

"So did you and my mom meet the same way?" I looked at my dad and he nodded.

"The first time, yes. But luckily I kept her number." He looked at my mom

"The only difference is that I knew I wanted to be with your mother. When she offered to have sex, shit I was down for it. But when we got to the house she was aggressive and I kept saying not yet but she wouldn't listen. Things happened and went on until she finally listened...I didn't hit her or anything. I could tell she was desperate for the money."

I kept quiet and listened then my mom spoke and got herself together.

"He saw me look at the camera I placed in Kyle's room while I was away. He asked me if he was mine and he asked where the dad was. I told him everything and he got all sad and told me something that no one told me before.''

I looked at my dad and he smirked like he didn't want to say it.

"I said, "I will be taking care of you from now on. Think of this as our first date." Then that's when your mom told me that she was pregnant with my child already.

And that was me...I mean I understand where Kyle is coming from. It doesn't feel special to be conceived by a person that just wanted sex. But then again, dad indeed has taken care of us a lot so I'll talk to Kyle about it...

I smiled. "I kinda like story time. We should do it again." I looked at my mom with a concerned look. "But mom did you get tested for like....anything?"

She looked back. "OH OF COURSE, I WOULDN'T DO THAT TO OTHER PEOPLE!"

I smiled and walked towards the staircase.

"Adonde vas?" (Where are you going?)

"Para ver a Kyle." (To check on Kyle.)

*Both FlashBacks End*

So I ended up calming Kyle down. And he realized that we were all there from day one and he understood that my dad and I are a part of his family.
