Harrison put Lily down to sleep. Then sat there. His brother was very impressive. He then made a call to his father.
Soon there was a knock on the door.
"What do you want to discuss?" He asked.
Harrison poured him a glass of bourbon and handed it to him.
"All these years I have never understood why you hated Marcus so much. He is smart and only has ever tired to please you." Harrison said.
"Marcus is not my son. Your mother had an affair. After having you I got sick and had to have my testicles removed. I no longer could have any more children. When your mother told me she was pregnant she begged me to forgive her. I wanted her to give up the child but she cried and I gave in on the one condition he would have nothing to with this family. That is why I treat him like I do." Mr. McKenna said.
"He was just a child. It was not his fault. If I remarry should Lily be treated like that because her mother is dead?" Harrison said.
"Lily is a McKenna she is special."
"Who is Marcus's father?" Harrison asked.
"My best friend."
"Does he know about Marcus?" Harrison asked.
"No, that was also one of the conditions."
"Please leave know, father I need to think." Harrison said.
After he closed the door he called for the hotel to send a nanny to watch over Lily.
When he got to the hospital two military men stood at the door.
"Is my brother in, I need to talk to him?" He said.
"He is not here at the moment and our orders are to let no one in but staff."
Harrison took a seat to wait for Marcus to come back.
"Hey Richie, how did you get a hot mama like that to fall for your ugly mug?" JJ said.
"It took time. She is worth waiting for." Marcus said.
"What about that Kimmy you always talked about back in the hell hole." Harper asked.
"She married my brother. Lily is her child." He said.
"That sucks man, how can a bro do that?" JJ then loaded more shrimp on his plate.
"It's alright. Kimmy was my best friend and I loved her but it is nothing like the love I feel for Ariel. She is my sole mate. I don't think I could live without her." Marcus said.
"You have it bad man, real bad." Harper said.
They finished eating and he took them to his apartment to shower and get clean cloths for him and Ariel.
"Nice place." JJ said.
"Thanks, it was just a place to sleep until Ariel moved in. Then it became a home."
As They head for the hospital Hidy called.
"Is there something wrong?" Marcus was panicked.
"No, just wanted to let you know I just looked in on her and everything is fine. Also your brother has been waiting for you in the hall. I'm going home. See you tomorrow." He hung up.
Why was Harry there? As he walked down the Hall Harrison stood up.
"Can we talk?" he asked.
"Can you stay with her till I get back." The two men noded.
"Lets go to the family room." Marcus walked down the hall and Harrison followed.
"What do you want?" Marcus said.
"I talked to dad tonight about why you are treated like this. Turns out you are not his son. Mom had an affair with Mr. Sanchez. Mr. Sanchez does not know you are his son."
"Then why do we both have red hair?" Marcus asked. He was in shock and could not think straight.
"Because we get it from our mother. We Are brothers but only half brothers. Red hair is more dominant then blonde. That is why we have red hair and so does Lily." Harrison said.
Marcus knew all this it just messed with his mind. Mr. McKenna was not his father Mr. Sanchez. Uncle Sanchez was not his fathers friend but his real father.
"You said he does not know then how sure is father I am not his son?"
"He had his testicles removed after I was born. So he could never have more children."
This was great he no longer had to live with this family then it hit him. "Kimmy is my sister then."
"Yes she is. Mrs. Sanchez got pregnant the same time as mom."
Marcus started laughing. "I was in love with my own sister no wonder dad forced her to you. That would of been messed up if I had won."
"What are you going to do?" Harrison asked.
"Talk to Mr. Sanchez. When Kimmy died he lost his child he needs to know he has another one. I need to get back to Ariel is there anything else?"
"Why the nicknames with your friends?"
"When you care about someone you give them a name to set them apart.George Hinderaker was given the name Hidy due to his last name. Harry Windman was given the name Harper because he was like a harping old woman. Jason Jones started it by calling himself JJ and they call me Richie because my rich father threw me away. Just Like I call you Harry your one of my bros."
"That's why you call me Harry?" he asked.
"Yes that is why I call you Harry. Do you want to check on Arial before you go?" Marcus said.
"Yes please." They walked down and into the room. JJ left but Harper kept watch outside.
"She looks good." Harrison said.
"She will get through this. Harrison are you going to give up now?" He asked.
"No, I am just giving her time. One day she will be mine." he smiled as he left the room.
Marcus shook his head and pulled out his computer and found Mr. Sanchez email.
