Raining In My Heart (Book One of the McKay's) Read Online Free PDF

Sandy .
    "As the letter states, to give her his name. Officially, you see , Mary didn't put his name on the birth certificate, so legally she wasn't his child at the time. By adopting her, she was a McKay and she could bear the name."
    Mr. Wymer stood up now and came around to stand in front of Julie . She was visibly shaking from this news. He laid a comforting hand on Julie 's shoulder. "When a man knows he's going to die, he usually tells things that he did, in his earlier life. It's quite normal. George wanted you all to know that Julie is very much his daughter and always was. She truly is your sister. "
    "But…my mother, she never said a word?" Julie frowned.
    "At the time, they weren't sure how to handle that part of it. All George knew was that you had to have his name, one way or another. So he adopted you, but if you will let him go on, I think you will understand it better."
    "But that's ridiculous, for him to adopt his own child…." Wendy began.
    "Let Rams e y continue." Mr. Wymer cleared his throat and adjusted his glasses.
    Rams e y glanced at them all and continued , " By now I'm sure there are some raised eyebrows. So let me continue. If any of you have any doubts, I've had a DNA test done and it was done by the lab in Dallas , not far from where Julie works now. It was secretly ordered by her employer at the time so she wouldn't even know about it. Mr. Wymer will have this in his records for you all to see and believe. In case there is any doubt in your minds. There never was in mine. Mary was a n honest woman, and she loved me with all her heart. Our last year together, although physically hard on her, was the most enjoyable time of my life. We did so many things together and I treasure the time we had. "
    Julie 's mouth was open but nothing came out. She remembered that blood test and thought it odd that the company had ordered it. Had her dad been more in touch with her than she thought? She felt all the blood leave her face now and she knew everyone was staring at her.
    "I had no idea . " H er voice didn't sound real to her.
    "Well , the old rascal had himself some women, now didn't he?" Letty's brow lifted. A smile broke across her face . "All four of us from different Mama's. What a record. But there was never a doubt as to the father, except for Julie . I guess he wanted to put the last piece of the puzzle together. I'm surprised, but then I'm not. "
    "Perhaps, but he was our fa ther, he did take care of us , " Wendy inserted.
    Even Letty acknowledged that. "Don't get so hostile, Wendy , I'm not attacking him. Despite what you may all think, I loved him too. I think we all did in our own way. And we need to give each other that, if nothing else. " Letty glanced at Julie and smiled. "The thing we have to remember is that we are all different and we have different ways of looking at things. But we are all McKay 's too."
    "Of course you loved him , dear . " Sandy reached for Letty.
    Wade stood in the background , yet even he was staring at them as though he knew nothing about all of this . Although , her fathe r tended to confide in Wade , Julie was secretly glad that Wade hadn't known about this either. Strange but the only person Wade seemed concerned with was Wendy , Julie noted quietly.
    Rams e y studied Julie a moment then went on, "So Julie is my first born child, named after my mother, Julia Lidia Roberts . How Mary could have remembered that particular fact, I'll never know, but she told me of it, later. One of the things l loved so much about Mary was how she listened to my rantings and ravings. She never raised her voice at me, her eyebrow, but not her voice. I'm only sorry none of you got to know Mary very well, as she was so sick.
    " So, now that I have established for you all, proof that you are all my children, it is time to sort through my holdings with you . Needless to say, I knew this day would come and have prepared for it. I only hope you all have. It is quite possible none of you are
