Oh right, My twin Maria del Garman, decided to usurp my fabulous life after I Gloria Caldon tragically died in a boat accident. Boo who. But after meeting my family the Calderons, Maria del Carmin read a mysterious letter that she found in my diary, which she opened without my permission. By the way, and the very mysterious letters said, dear Gloria, I hope you're doing well and are still receiving my letters. I can't even imagine how many have failed to reach your hands. But if you're reading this, then you need to know that your entire life has been a lie. Gloria. I know this is hard to believed. The people who raise what the people who raise you are murderers. You are not a Caleton. You are my daughter. I still remember the day your mother told me she was pregnant. It was the happiest day of our lives. I had always dreamt of having a daughter, so imagine how happy I was when your mother told me she was pregnant with tweens. We're gonna have tweens? Are you sure? Babies? See you're going to be a double dad. My belly is going to be I'm gonna live like an overstop t Well, then give me a side of what I'm only because I'm gonna eat you up much a little. This is a miracle, a double miracle. Two girls pile. What are you gonna do about your job? Louisa is not a particularly understanding person, and her father is even worse. Do you think they'll fire you for being pregnant? I hope not, but I never know what to expect from the colors m But I tell the Lisa Monday and we'll see what happens. But don't worry, you See, the most important thing is we're going to be her family. In those days, your mother and I had just arrived in the United States.

What happened to your hair? I bleached it? You said I would look better blond. No, I said you would look better if I was blind. Well, because it's what are you wearing? Man invited me to a fancy dinner tonight on my dime. I'm sure you couldn't have married him more useless person. He's not useless, he's useless. I gave him my most successful factory, and what did he do? He left it in ruins. As if that weren't bad enough, the two of you still haven't given me a grandson, an air, I'm not getting any younger. You know, I'm going to die waiting for you to fulfill the only task your qualified form. Don't worry, Pappa, you'll see soon. Papa, when are you going to see the doctor? Why would I go and see another doctor so he can tell me what I already know that I am dying of disappointment surrounded by people who do nothing but spend my money. Is there anything else I can do for you, Papa? No, there's nothing you can do for me. You're useless. Leave me alone with my regret. It's better company anyway, I never mind. Finally, where were you? He was preparing somempty for your father's Lisa. How long does it take to boil water? He almost died of a coffin thing. Well, you were taking your sweet time. I will try to be more efficient with boiling in the future. Enough with your excuses, I already did your job for you are now I'm late for my dinner. Bring me my red boots, stupid maid. Why is good help so hard to find? I hear your go senoritas, what you're useless? I didn't say the maroon boots. I said the red boot. It's my fault.

It's not like I'm not trying. Being a Mother's the only thing I've ever wanted to do in my life. Why no, don't be so hard on him, Senorita. You already know that he's diseased, as Kim mover and who asked you for your opinion? Believable? Enjoy your dinner, Senorita. And one there's there's something I wanted to ask you. Don't tell me you need another day off to go to the doctor. I knew that if I gave you one day off, it would become a problem. No, no, no, no, no, I don't need another day of the reason I had to go to the doctor was that when I'm pregnant. See that's great. See my husband and I are just so excited to have a family. And I'm more than excited because we see see, yeah, I get it. Why no, I have to go. I'm already late for my dinner. See Anna, Please don't don't mention this whole pregnancy thing to my father.

Yeah, I'm the waiter. Yes, don't get fresh with me. Okay, bring me a martini dirty, very very dirty season womanya, forgive me. I'm going to be a little late the traffic. Is it safe? One?

Let's read them at the same time. Sterile? Did they have to write a percentage? Maybe a crowded restaurant wasn't the best place to do this. Well, it's all we expected. But at least now we know why we can't get pregnant. See, it's better to know. I know how much you wanted to be a mother. I'm so sorry. I don't know how I'm going to break it to my father with the news that they were both sterile. Louisa would have to tell her father that she would never be able to give him the air he demanded.
