"Well there's no hospital pictures for one. A lot of Alfie when he was born, but none of me or Lexie." She'd known before then of course, but Lexie pulling out all of the pictures had only reaffirmed everything. Plenty of everyone growing up with birthday parties and the occasional mud fight after a rain storm, but both girls had that empty spot of the happy parents holding their newborn baby for the first time after who knew how many hours of labor. Though Annie could still see the features that had made it all so hard to believe. Their eyes were about the same color and even Lexie's weren't that far off (you could ask Jacen for confirmation of that considering there didn't seem to be much the boy didn't notice about Lexie back in the day). The dark brown hair that would go into gentle curls without too much effort needed... The fact that even at 17 she could read and understand Shakespeare better than a fair number of her classmates?
"There's also a lot of kids around here who are. Though some of them are a lot more obvious." Sydney didn't exactly look Asian like her surname suggested for one, but she was also avoiding right out answering it was because she had seen her adoption papers. "I mean, you couldn't just have mentioned it since I was little?" Thankfully she was past the whole idea of screaming and throwing a fit about it or it was possible someone might still be in the hallways and come to see what was going on. "Do you even know who my..." She stopped herself from saying "real" like Emma and Jacob had been figments of her imagination for these years. "biological parents are? Where they are?"
