Chapter 473 Big Girls Don't Cry:>4

"No Darryl, Elizabeth is from a relationship your grandfather had when he was in his late teens. Elizabeth's mother had left her with him and disappeared, so he brought her up alone. I married him just after you were born; Elizabeth was nearly 18 then, and your father, Robert, had been killed in the Falklands in 1982, a few months after Elizabeth found out she was pregnant; he was still only a boy himself, only 19. I met your grandfather soon after that, and we decided to get married. Elizabeth couldn't handle bringing up a child alone at such a young age, so we took you to bring you up as our son. Lena came along 10 months later, and we brought you up as brother and sister." "But you didn't adopt me, yes?" I asked her, and she shook her head.
