open.
    “So you the doting wife decided to relive your glory days and have a child with another married man? Not the best of plans.” Sienna replied and stared ahead deep in thought. She desperately tried to be gentle and compassionate with her mother and understand her but she couldn’t.
     
    “Who is my biological father?” she asked after a few soundless moments. Her breathing grew short and rapid as she anticipated a response. “You don’t need to know.” Maria replied instantly frowning reverting back to the role of angry mommy from the lovesick fool she had been playing earlier.
     
    “I beg to differ. Who is he? Do I even know him?” she asked. A pause dragged on as her mother took more sips of her coffee.
    “For the love of God, will you answer me?” she screeched and knocked the mug on to the floor causing it to break and shatter across the floor.
     
    “What the hell is wrong with you?” her mom yelled and jumped back. She heard a strange humming in her ears and smacked her ear slightly to get the voices out. “Nothing. I’m fine.” She huffed and put her fingers in her ears and paced around some more. “Ever since you were a child, you were always weird but I accepted that. But now, its almost as if you’re completely insane. You don’t sleep at night; you talk and yap, yap and yap relentlessly at times like you just can’t stop. Then all of a sudden you sit there moping in bed for days and days at a time. And don’t think I don’t see you talking to yourself.”
     
    “I don’t talk to myself. You’re over reacting as usual and you’re deflecting! Lets go back to the real problems we have! Did dad even know about Annie?” she asked thinking back to the huge argument they had on the night he passed away. Her mother remained silent and jaw clenched. Her facial expression gave Sienna the answer she needed.
    “When did he find out? When did he find out that yet again you went behind his back and had an affair and that he was raising another man’s child yet again ?” she asked standing taller and coming right up to her mother’s face gazing unflinchingly in to her conflicted guilt-ridden hazel eyes.
    “You know when.” She whispered back shakily.
    “You let everyone blame me. You let them think it was my fault he died. You let me think for months that it was my fault he died!” she gasped. She felt her shoulders slump and the air suddenly leave her body leaving her feeling completely deflated.
    “What are you talking about? Nobody blamed you!” her mother exclaimed baffled by Sienna’s accusations.
    “No one can know about Annie. She can never find out! She’s all I have!” Maria hissed as she noticed her daughter going in to another one of her manic episodes. “She’s all you have left of Logan’s dad you mean. God, you’re pathetic. That’s why you disapproved of Logan; you were too scared I would get too close to finding out the truth somehow! And as for Annie she deserves to know the truth about her father one day!” Sienna shouted as her mom tried to grab hold of her arms.

 
    “Get off of me!” Sienna yelled. She could hear the thunderous footsteps of her hefty elder siblings tearing down the staircase.
    “I disapproved of Logan because he’s extremely wealthy, chauvinistic and too good for you. I’m trying to save you a lifetime of pain. Walk away from him now before its too late. Before you end up marrying the wrong man, living in the wrong house, hearing constant lies about how much he loves you and is going to leave his wife for you until one day out f the blue he decides you’re not worth it and he dismisses you like a scorned child. So in the end all you’re left with is a broken heart and a void nothing in this world can fill but him. You spend years yearning for a just mere glance of him. That’s what you’re subdued to.” She whimpered and collapsed in to a fit of gasping tears.
     
    She was a trembling tear jerking mess. Meredith and Cora burst
