I am crazy about Greg stories and this is all I write or read .

This is a story that may look like others , but it doesn't , trust me .

The daughter

Greg Sanders just got out of bed , after a night of hard work .Today and tonight he was off , so he decided to stay at home all day .But , seeing that he had no food , he got up and went to the shop to take some .

He went to the bathroom to wash , he changed his clothes , made his hair , put some cologne on . He wanted to look amazing , so all the girls to look at him.

At the shop , he took some food and other things he needed . Putting in a bag , he left home (he wasn't far away , so he didn't take the car).

He stopped , hearing screams and saw a house in fire .

"Help !" someone yelled .

He heard the firefighters saying to that woman to back off , because they will take care of everything .

"But my daughter is in there !My baby ! I will not let her die !" the woman said before entering the house .

"Madam , get out !" everybody screamed .

Greg understood what had just happened . He heard all the scrams and saw all those injured peoples . He asked about that poor woman who was trying to help her baby .

No thinking at what could happen to him , he entered the house to save that woman and her daughter . In there , threw that smoke , he saw a life form moving and took her in his arms , getting out as fast as he could .

He gave the girl to the doctors .

"We can leave now" the firefighters said . They did everything that could be done . The woman who entered to saver her daughter died , but the girl was alive .Greg made that mother's sacrifice not to be for nothing .

Greg saw the little girl , who was five years or so and took a decision .

"Anybody knows who the father of this girl is ?"a doctor asked .

"Her Dad is dead . there is his body ."a neighbor said , with low voice .

"Mister , are you okay?" someone asked Greg .

"Yeah ,fine. What are you doing to do with the little girl?"

"To an orphanage . She has no parents left , so…"

In that moment , Greg took a decision. He approached the child , whose eyes were full of fear.

"Hey , sweetie , what's your name ?"

"Elisabeth" she answered , with trembling voice .

"Hi , Elisabeth , I'm Greg"

"You saved me . Thank you" she said , trying to smile .

Greg didn't say anything; he just left .

"Hey , to what orphanage you're taking the girl ?"he asked.

"St. Maria ,on Charleston "

"Thank you " he thought .

He made a decision . The decision not to let that little girl to live without a family . He thought at what could be in the little girl's mind , she saw both her parents dying . He promised that he will take care of that girl for the rest of her live .

……

"So ,why do you want to adopt a child , Mr. Sanders ?"

"Because my girlfriend died when she was pregnant and I promised her this" he lied .

"Well , if that's so , tell me who do you want ."

"That little girl" he said pointing to Elisabeth .

"Well ,her name's Elisabeth , he is six years old , her parents died four weeks ago in a fire"

The director told him .

"She's perfect .Tell me , when do you think I can take her home ?"

"Anytime , you just have to start the adoption papers "

"Alright , then"

The director and Greg entered the play room and Greg approached Elisabeth .

"Hey , you there " he told her .

"Hey , G…" she started , but he made a sign ,that shows her she shouldn't tell his name .

"Elisabeth , this man over here is going to take you at his home , make you his girl .You okay with this , you like him ? "

"Yes" she said starting to jump ."I want to go with him "

"Then , Mr. Sanders , you can take Elisabeth . Today . And she'll become your daughter officially in two weeks , I think"

He waited until the director brought Lisa , that will be her name now and give him her things .

"Here is her stuff . Goodbye and see you next week ."

He took girls hand and left the room . He putted her in the back of his car , her toys in there and started the engine .

"Elisabeth" he said , softly .

"Yes"

"Today is the beginning of a new life , mine and yours"

He drove off , going to his home and wondering what will happen next .

I'm waiting for reviews , four at least ,to upload a new chapter .

Hope you liked it .
