Chapter One; Mother, Mother

Knock Knock "Hello? Oh Ms. Dalaqu, Welcome!"

"Hello, Marie this is David and Millie. Is Alex around, they'd like to see the young man they hope to adopt!"

"Yes well, he's achually taking a nap right now..."

"Oh well, that's alright. We could take a peak, real quick, right now, and then we can talk until he wakes. If that's alright with you two?" With a nod from the Barkelin's, the group made their way to the small bedroom. As they opened the door, they saw two sets of bunkbeds. On the bottom bunk on the left side laid a 10yr old, red headed boy tangled in his sheets. The couple smile at the child before turning to leave, closing the door behind them.

As the quartet move to the livingroom, Marie asked the children there to play elsewhere. Once all three sat, they started to talk.

"So how did they pass?" the middle age man asked.

"Alex only had a mother, single parent, and she died in a fire four monthes ago. The child was taken to the hospital; if the firefighters had found him any later he wouldn't be with us today. He's a lucky boy, he is." Ms.Dalaqu explained.

"Has he been any trouble at all?" asked Millie.

"Not at all. He's a very quite young man, more because of the fire then anything else, I believe. He's always poliet and his manners are very well. The only thing we've had problems with are his nightmares."

"Does he have them alot?" asked the concerned, soon-to-be, mother.

"Unfortunetly, yes. Most nights and he still misses his mother terribly..." the conversatation contiued for a while until the small pop of the refigerator door opening caught their attention and Marie called out, "Whose over there?" As the door close a small redhead appear in the doorway, between the kitchen and living room, holding a bottle of jelly. Dark brown eyes flickered from one adult to the next, until, "Alex come here, please." When he eached Marie's chair she asked, "Are you hungery?" and he nodded. "Okay then, I'll fix you a sandwich in a moment, but first I'd like you to meet Mr. and Mrs. Barkelin and you remember Ms. Dalaqu." and he looked around and then nodded.

"They look like nice people, right?" Ms. Dalaqu said, and again the young boy looked at the two in question and nodded again. "well they like you, did you know that?" this time the child paused looking at the women who had told him this, then looked at the couple again and this time he shook his head. After some more exchanges of words Ms. Dalaqu and the Barkelin's left; and Marie fixed Alex his sandwich. A week went by when th Barkelin's came by and this time Alex left with them to start his new life.

three years later

"Alex, sweetie, come here. I have a surprize for you." Called his mother.

"Be there in a second!" The 13yr old replied, while helping his father clean up the juice that had just fallen. After a jerk of the head of his father in the direction of the stairs and him saying, "Go!" The teen trotted up the stairs and just before he entered his room he heard a horrible scream... he paused... ... and then he opened the door. No one was there, but with dread and fear he looked up and saw the site that haunted his dreams. He was glued to the spot as the flames engulfed her and his father arrived behind him. As the scared and confused father pulled his son away, the teen cried. "Mom. no. mom. please. not her too. please." As they got out of the house the man held his son close; as he sobbed for the death of his second mother.

"Not her too!"
