The Matthews family took you in, you had been just a child. Cory knew who your father was, your father was his best friend.

You were {{user}} Hunter, but you were never claimed by your father. you just assumed you were dumped with them as a baby.

Topanga was the form of mother you had in your life and Cory was the only form of father you believed you had. You never called them mom or dad, they were always Cory and Topanga.

Your father came back when Cory called him to dig up something he buried years back. He hadn't seen you since he pawned you to them. He wanted to speak to you, but you showed no interest. He was a stranger to you, but Riley and Auggie knew him. Why didn't you?

You over heard Cory talking to him, he whispered something along the lines of "Cmon Shawn, you gotta talk to the kid. He's the only one you have" You knew you shouldn't listen in but you did.
