"Screw off, Mom! I didn't need you anyway!" Ophelia shouted at the red car, that sped off the second the young teen got out of the car. Ophelia tried to hide her pain, clinching her jaw as she picked up her bags and walked into the apartment complex.

She had a apartment number, the number to her fathers apartment, specifically. She found it oddly fast, knocking on the door and waiting for an answer. A tall man swung the door open, making Ophelias eyes widened.

"Oh! Are you selling girl scout cookies? I'll take them all!" he explained as Ophelia raised a eyebrows and cleared her throat.

"Okay, well, I guess there's no easy way to say this..." she trailed off while rubbing her hands together as he frowned.

"Oh, are you out of thin mints? You're right, there is no easy way to-" the tall man began but was cut off by her quickly.

"I'm your daughter." Ophelia said suddenly as the mans eyes widened.

"I mean, I think so, my Mom says so anyway. Her name is Julie Lancaster." Ophelia said as the man examined her for a moment.

"Oh, dear god!" he shouted while throwing her over his shoulder and taking off down the hallway, making her yell.

"Pen! Help!" Schneider yelled as he crashed into a smaller apartment, throwing Ophelia down on the couch, making her head fall into a boys lap and her feet across a older woman.

"What- who is this?" a lady with curly haired asked, her facial expressions reading nothing but confusion.

"My daughter." he explained in a panic.

"Daughter?" the four members of the family asked in shock.

"Schneider, you don't have a daughter." the teen girl said as she gave him an odd look.

"I do now!" he explained with wide eyes.

"Okay wait, what's your name?" Penelope asked as she looked to Ophelia, who was frozen in shock.

"Ophelia." she explained as the older woman screamed and threw the small teen off hers and the boys lap, making her fall on the floor.

"Tia Ophelia is back to haunt us!" the boy explained in a panic as he jumped up on the couch and as far away from the girl as he could.

"Awh, Tia Ophelia! God rest her soul." Schneider explained as Ophelia groaned and got up off the ground, ignoring the two, who were backing away from her.

"Mami! That's not Tia Ophelia! She's dead!" Penelope explained as Ophelias eyes widened.

"Definitely wish I was right now." the teen explained as Elena looked at her.

"Schneider has a daughter, woah! Wait! Why is she back? Does she need money? Is she in need of rehab? Is she pregnant? Are you pregnant!" Elena shouted as she ran toward her, putting a hand on her stomach.

"Not pregnant, odd girl I don't know the name of." Ophelia explained with an awkward laugh.

"I'm Elena, i'm gay." Elena said as Ophelia grinned.

"Really? So is my cousin! I go to the parades with her all the time!" Ophelia explained as she high fived the girl.

"Alright, I approve." Elena said as she nodded toward the girl.

"Okay everyone stop! Honey are you-" Penelope began toward the girl before Lydia jumped in.

"She is not blind! She has no relation to the Schneider!" Lydia announced as Ophelia blinked in surprise.

"Oh, I can take my contacts out for you." Ophelia began as she reached for her eye but was cut off.

"No! No! No!" Penelope shouted while grabbing her hands.

"Wait, so this isn't Tia Ophelia?" Alex asked as he took a step forward.

"No, Papito. She was not a white imposter." Lydia said as she circled around Ophelia like a shark.

"Mami! Not helping!" Penelope explained to her.

"Well in that case, how you doing?" Alex asked as a smirk spread across his face, taking a step toward her.

"Alex, not helping either! Ophelia, where did you come from?" Penelope asked as she approached the girl.

"Maine, but if you wanna be really specific, I came into the world July seventh at six fifty six pm at Portland Hospital Services Corporation via csection." Ophelia said with a deep breath, watching as Penelopes eyebrows shot up as she shared a look with Shnider.

"And your Mom, where is she now?" she asked as Ophelias face fell slightly as she shrugged.

"Probably Las Vegas by now." the teen explained with a frown.

"Oh, she is a gambler!" Lydia said with a smile as Penelope gave her a shake of her head, leading Ophelia to the couch.

"She just left you here?" Penelope asked as the teen shrugged.

"Said I needed to know more about my Dad, her new boyfriend said Las Vegas wasn't a place for kids anyway." Ophelia explained as Penelope frowned.

"Better mark that one off mine and Syds bucket list then." Elena said as Alex gave her a look, making her send Ophelia a awkward smile.

"Ophelia, I had no idea about you at all. If I had I would have reached out more to you, your Mom never thought to give me a call?" Schneider asked as he sat on the other side of her.

"She never mentioned it really, I didn't wanna make her upset by asking." Ophelia explained with a shrug as Schneider hesitated but put a hand on her shoulder. A ugly cry echoed through the air as they all turned to see Lydia sobbing.

"What now?" Penelope asked her with a crazy look.

"The white child is Schneider's white child." Lydia exclaimed as she blew her nose into a table mat.

"Look, we'll call your Mom and get this-" Penelope began but was cut off.

"No, no she was sent to stay with me. I have a daughter, a real life daughter!" Schneider explained as he jumped up with a grin.

"You're not mad?" Ophelia asked him as she rose to her feet.

"Mad? How could I ever be made? I made you, you're apart of me and i'm so sorry I couldn't have told you that sooner." Schneider explained as Ophelias lips turned up in a smile, hugging him tightly.

"It's coming!" Penelope announces with a small sob as she grabbed the place mat and blew her nose into it as well.

"Tia Jack Sparrow!" Alex suddenly said loudly as they all turned to him with a confused look.

"Tia Ophelia was the one with the one eye!" Elena added in as she slapped her forehead.

"I'm sorry for your loss." Ophelia said with a half smile as she sat on the couch next to Lydia.

"Thank you Schneider's white child, tell me... would you happen to be cuban?" she asked her with a hopeful look as Ophelia shook her head.

"Cross Ophelia off the list of Papitos future wives!" Lydia said with a slap to her knee.

"Aw man, again?" Alex asked with a sigh, making Ophelia raise her eyebrows in confusion.

"At least we'll get to see the family at the funeral, everyone will be there." Penelope said as she began to list off the family members as Lydia walked over to them.

"Woah, so many silent J's." Ophelia said with wide eyes as she listened to each name.

"You'll catch on, don't worry." Alex said as he sat down next to her, where Lydia was moments before.

"It will be good to see everybody, except of course La Diabla." Lydia said as she made fake horns above her head.

"Ouu, there's a tia Diabla? Sounds hot." Schneider explained as he sat down at one of the chairs.

"She's Abuelitas little sister, Mirtha." Elena informed him with eyebrows raised before Penelope jumped in.

"Who Mami has been mad at for twenty years because of a stupid mantilla." Penelope explained as Ophelia grinned.

"Ouu, what's a mantilla? Sounds hot." Ophelia said making Elenas jaw drop.

"I totally didn't see the resemblance until just now." the older teen said as she looked between the two.

"Mirtha says she doesn't have it." Penelope tried to reason again.

"That's because-" Alex began but was cut short by his grandma.

"She's a liar." Lydia finished for him with a knowing look.

"But didn't you-" Alex began again but was cut off once more.

"Rightfully accuse her of having it all these years? Because she does. Go comb your hair!" Lydia said as she waved him off, clearly wanting him to shut up.

"But I don't have too." Alex explained as he gestured to his perfectly fixed hair. Lydia reaches her hand out and messed the front part up as Alex let out a screech and ran off. He came back seconds later, grabbing Ophelias arm and dragging her off with him.

"I feel like as a Father I should go after them... if this pizza wasn't so good." Schneider explained as he looked down at the pizza covered in pepperonis infront of him as Penelope rolled her eyes.
