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 .
