To Find A Father, And A Home

I had lived in foster homes all of my life .All 12 years of it that is. My mother had given me up at birth, saying that she could not take care of a baby. All I have left of my family is a wrist watch that was my dad's and my name Joshua Alexander Chamberlain. This foster home I have lived in for 4 years. When you reach the age of 10 you give up on being adopted. I am the oldest here with Matthew who is 8 and Dani who is 4.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Joshua it is time for dinner"said Ms. Glanic.

"I'm coming" I said.

I jumped up and grabbed the book I was reading. I am one to always carry a book much to Ms. Glanic annoyance. I entered the kitchen to see Matthew, Dani, and Ms. Glanic already sitting at the table.

"Did you take your medicine Joshua" she asked with still an annoyed look on her face.

I hate it when she asks that. I have lived with my heart condition all of my life and yet she thinks I will forget it.

"Don't worry I had it an hour ago" I said harshly.

"Don't be mad at me young man for caring about your health" she said starting to get mad.

"I'm sorry" I said sitting down trying to end the conversation.

"Kids tomorrow we will have a couple come over who is looking to adopt" she said happily.

I did not have anything to say about it couples always went for the younger kids. At least maybe Matthew or Dani might get adopted. I went to bed that night thinking about how great it would be to find a family.

We woke up early to clean the house. I was stuck cleaning the bathrooms and the kitchen. As I mopped my thoughts Ms. Glanic tell the couple right of the bat I had a medical problem. That had stopped people in the past. Hopefully she will want me adopted and will wait till they get to know me. Why should I care its not like they are going to want me. When I finished mopping I went upstairs to shower and put on clean cloths. When I was done I settled into the window seat in the living room and began to read Killer Angels. I love history and anything relating to warfare tactics .I loved the fact that my name was also a Union general's name. I heard a tapping at the door and Ms. Glanic went to open it. Standing there where two beautiful people. A male with blond hair who was tall, and a female with brown hair who was short.

'Welcome thank you for coming I'm Sandy Glanic" she said excitedly.

The male responded "I'm Carlisle Cullen and this is my wife Esme."

"It's very nice to meet you I'm sure your eager to meet the kids" said.

"Of course" Esme said.

They walked into the room I could feel their eyes scanning the room even though I was reading.

"Joshua introduce them"Ms. Glanic said sharply.

I stood up and made my way to them.

"I'm Joshua and this is Dani"I said looking to the little girl now holding my hand to my right.

Esme bend down and said to her "It's nice to meet you sweetie."

"This is Matthew" I said now looking to my left to see he was still playing with a race car much to Ms. Glanic annoyance.

Then Carlisle spoke" It's nice to meet you too."

Matthew looked up at them and then went back to playing with his car. I deiced to return to the window seat and read. Dani looked like a hit already.

"I will just leave you to talk now"Ms. Glanic.

I watched the women sit down by Dani and ask her about her barbies. The man went to sit by Matthew an asked about his racecars. Matthew only talked a little and I wished I could tell him not to ruin the opportunity .I went back to reading and was startled when I looked up to see the man standing right beside me.

"I don't believe I have introduced myself to you I'm Carlisle Cullen" he said softly extended his hand for a hand shake. I took it and returned the gesture.

"It's nice to meet you" I said still disbelieving he would talk to me.

He moved to sit down so I moved my feet.

"What are you reading" he asked looking very curious.

"It's Killer Angels" I said.

"So you like history it is only fitting with your name" he said softly.

I was amazed not many had put the two together .Just then his wife walked over and sat down beside him.

"I'm Esme" she said.

"It is nice to meet you" I said.

"So I se you were discussing books that seems to be the only thing Carlisle does" She said.

"Hey that is not true" he said smiling the whole time.

"It's ok I love books too"I said trying to be nice.

The two looked at each other and smiled like they were passing some sort of message.

"Would you like to go to lunch with us" he asked.

"As long as it is ok with " she said.

I did not know what to say why would they want me for company .I did not want to pass up the chance though.

"Um…sure" I said.

"Do you want me to ask her or do you want to" Carlisle asked.

"I can do it" I said.

I got up and started walking towards the kitchen when Ms. Glanic showed up in the door way.

"Ms. Glanic Mr. and Mrs. Cullen asked if I could go to lunch with them is that ok with you"I asked getting hopeful.

"Of course, just do not forget to take your medicine" she said.

My cheeks turned red and I bowed my head hoeing they had not heard her. I looked across the room to see the man staring right at me I knew he had heard. The women was looking at a painting at least she probley did not hear. The man now watched me with concern. I knew they would not want me for sure now. I turned and ran upstairs to get my medicine.
