Summary: Beatrice Mitchell's family tree is ... complicated. #5 in the Haven post-ep collection.
Beatrice tells everyone she adopted the two children. Legally, of course, they don’t exist. No birth certificates, no adoption papers. No doubt that will cause trouble later.
She wonders what she’ll tell them when they’re old enough to ask questions. Does she tell them she’s their mother? Does she tell them who their fathers were? Does she tell them about their half-sister? Helena thinks (they leave notes for each other; it’s quite civil) Beattie should give them up for adoption too, but Beattie can’t bear that thought. And it turns out that Helena’s a pretty decent babysitter on Friday nights.
