Chapter One:
Sam's POV:
It had been three days since Ella came to live with me and Tom. Ella has seemed to relaxing a bit. It's understandable for Ella to be a bit jumpy, her mum had just died days before. Then she gets brought into a completely different environment. Then there was me, this little girl, had only met me four days ago. Yet, she was glued to me, if Tom was wasn't there.
There was one thing that did occur to me. This little girl, didn't have many toys, little clothes most of which were very plain, not girly like the little girl that had started to melt my heart. A three years old girl and she had barely anything to show anyone. That was one thing I was going to change.
End of POV.
The little family had spent a lot of time spending time together over these few days. Sam and Tom had both taken a few days off of work, thanks to Zoe. But this morning was the day that Tom went back to work and Ella's first day back to preschool. Zoe had agreed for Tom to go in a little later, if he worker a little later that day, so he and Sam could both take Ella to preschool. They had already contacted the preschool to explain about Maria and that Ella was with them. Ella was quite to go too preschool and see her friends. It was tom that was nervous.
Back to Sam's POV:
It was 7:30, Tom was in the shower, so I decided to go sort Ella out. I slowly opened her bedroom door, to find Ella wide awake.
"Hey honey, how long have you been awake for?" I asked the little girl.
"Little while, I excited, can I get up now?" Ella questioned me.
"Of course u can honey, do you want me to help you get ready?" I replied.
"Yes please" she answered.
I then helped Ella get changed into some blue jeans and a bright pink top. I then quickly went and got my hairbrush from mine and tom's room. I brush Ella hair and put her hair into a side French plait, which she loved. By the time Tom came downstairs, me and Ella were sat in the kitchen eating our breakfast.
