"Yeah, nice to meet you. I'm Rachel. Rachel Colson Owen. I dont go much by Colson because I rather not think of the my 'parents' and I use that word loosely, they're just people to me." She shrugged and listened to them frowning. "Who would call and lie to you like that? She's not dead. She found me and she raised me. She's my mother even if we we arent related by blood. But funny coincidence...Gail says my parents names are Sharidan and Kevin..and that they were really good peo-..." She stared at them both. "Oh God.."

She couldn't keep the hurt from her eyes. She just looked at the ground a few moments trying to keep herself in check. She sighed, "You know we don't even know who it was that called. But thats what they said. It's good to know she is alive and that she has raised you well." She knew she realized who they were and she knew it wouldnt be good. She looked at Berg again and then back at Rachel, "I don't know what to say to you Rachel. Except that we never left you." She had no other words to say, she just stood there looking at her. Knowing that she would probably never have her daughter call her mother.

He nodded slowly. "Yeah, that's us. Glad to see you realized it so quickly." He smiled briefly and then reached for Dan's hand and when he had it, he squeezed to let her know she wasnt alone. "Just like Dan said, we didnt leave you. It's a long story that you deserve to hear and that we should get a chance to tell you, Rachel."

"You didnt leave me? Likely story. You left me! Yeah Gail told me she found me in a place that seemed to have been part of a warzone, but I was still left there like I was a piece of trash. You know, she always did try to make you both seem like saints. But in the end you werent the ones raised with the knowledge that the person who took care of you and loved you, regardless, wasnt your real mother. Hell wasnt even your real parents, because I even had a substitute father. You can go tell that story to someone who gives a fuck, because guess what? I dont! I see you both have been busy making kids." She glared at them both angrily. "God, I hope for their sakes they have better luck, but in the end it doesnt matter because I ended up having the best mother in the world. Best parents, and thank goodness it wasnt either of you people. Stay the hell away from me the both of you!" And with a very nasty glare to them both she stormed off.

She listened to Rachel and her voice caught in her throat. All she could think about was Lucifer, and how this was his fault. Her daughter hated her and Berg because of his power hungriness. She didnt want Rachel to think this of them, but there was no way for her to change her mind. She watched her storm off and slowly turned to Berg. She wrapped her arms around herself and slowly lowered herself to the ground, rocking back and forth, "This is not happening, not today. It's supposed to be a good day. What did I do to deserve this?" She looked up at Berg as a few tears slid down her cheek, "This is Lucifer's fault, and when I get back to the Palace I'm going to tell him what he has done." Her eyes flashed and she looked away at their sons, "Whether she wants to be around us or not, I want Lawrence and Patrick to know her as their sister."

He couldnt say he was surprised by this reaction. He had had a feeling that if they had ever come across her they'd eventually get a similar reaction. He wouldnt lie to himself, he was hurt by this, this was his baby girl and she hated them. He turned to Sharida and just got on the ground beside her and wrapped his arms around her, trying to calm her. "She's going to come around someday, Dan. If Gail's with her she'll keep trying to give her the whole picture of us." He sighed, and rubbed her arms. "Look if you dont want to stay at the Palace after this, fine. Come to the Tower with me, I'm sure Hannibal and Mae wont mind, we can be together...and we can try to regroup ourselves before we try our hand with Rachel again."

She leaned against him and clung to him, "I know, Berg. But it's unfair to not only us but to her. Lucifer is going to feel really bad when I'm done with him." She looked up at him and smiled slightly, "I'd like to come stay with you guys. I wasn't sure there for a few moments if you'd want me to come and live with you guys. And I wasn't going to ask. As much as I've missed you I'd be willing to wait till we got used to the idea of us again. Not to mention your sons will have to get used to you." She frowned, "My things are at the Palace...And so are the kids."

"It's up to you, if you want to take the time and work up to living together again, then so be it. I understand." He looked down glaringly. "He's going to pay for everything he's ever done." He eyed her and looked around. "We'll get through to her, Dan. We will you'll see, and we'll be this big happy family.

She shook her head, "No I was going to give you the time. I was unsure if you were still angry at me." She looked at their sons and sighed, "He has done so much but he has done some good. The boys seem to like him at times. But I will still have my words with him. He will not like the wrath of an angry mother." She looked up at him, "I sure hope so Berg. If not as a daughter but maybe just to be friends with her at least. I want to know how she has been. I wanna see Gail too."

"I'm fine, it's been five years. I'm over it, Dan. Just dont keep anything else from me." He stood. "Look before you head off to the Palace come to the Tower with me, meet Hannibal and the people who've become my family." He smiled a bit. "We can spend a few moments of peace, and then we'll go back to the Palace so you can get your stuff and yell at Lucifer.." He started thinking and groaned. "Actually....I kinda have a prior engagement...maybe I can convince Hannibal to go with you."

She followed suit and stood up. She nodded, "I have nothing else to tell. You know it all. But I promise no more secrets. And yes I think ti would be better for me to go to the Tower with you first before returning to the palace. I feel a bit wand happy right now. And I would love to meet Hannibal. It would give me a chance to see who your modeled after." She looked at him a few moments then without another word she hugged him tightly, "I love you Berg, I never stopped loving you."

He was a bit caught offguar by the sudden hug but he wrapped his own arms around her. "Love you too, Dan. And by now you should know you're the only woman for me." He smiled a bit. "I think you'll like him. He's an idiot, but he's great. He'd do anything for his family and even friends." He grabbed her hand. "Let's go get the boys and start heading to the Tower then, the sooner the better."

She smiled up at him, "I sure hope so. I'd kill any other woman." She leaned up and kissed him breifly, "Well lets get going then. I can at least for a few hours pretend to be out of my depression. And I think if thsi Hannibal is really as big and bad as you say well, I need to fill him in on the Lucifer thing so I can scare him shitless." She laced her fingers in his, and started towards the boys, "Lawrence, Patrick, come on boys."

He nodded. "Yeah, I think we both need this." He smiled a bit, and watched as the boys ran towards Sharidan. "Alright, let's go." Holding Sharidan's hand he started away from this meadow and towards the Tower, wondering how Sharidan and the boys would react to the different and very eccentric figures in the Tower.

"Yeah I think this will be good for us." She started walking off with him and stopped for a minute looking back. She sighed and then started off again. Disappearing with her husband and their sons. Hoping that now at least they could fix their lives and hopefully at least convince their daughter that they did not leave her.
