While head-sister Julie took blood samples from both Michelle and Michael, they both stayed apart from the others, using this make up for the time lost. When you all rejoined them, you overheard something that surprised everyone.
"So… How my mothers took my… ?" Said Emily, unable to end her own question.
"They are a mess, but it's nothing compared to your fathers."
"Which one?"
"Both." Was Jake final answer.
You did want to ask, but couldn't bring yourself to. And apparently, the others weren't more able.
Thankfully, Emily ended the awkward silence. "You're wondering how I can have four parents, aren't you?"
You stupidly nodded, at which the teenager said "Simple: they are gay, all four of them." When none seemed to understand where was the explanation is this, she exasperatedly elaborated. "Like everyone know, it's impossible for two humans of the same gender to have a child. But my two fathers were old friends of my two mothers, who also wanted their own kids. The four of them raised my siblings and me together, but each of us were born thanks to IVF, with only one parent of each sex being the biological one."
"YOU MEAN SOME MEN AREN'T INTERESTED IN WOMEN?!?" Screamed Elizabeth, before fainting.
