My Own Story

Story #6

Chapter #1

A/N: This story came to me by reading a story by Sterling Dragonfly.

Summary: Justin is 3 years old and Molly is 1 year old. Brian and Michael are 15 years old. Debbie adopts Justin and Molly.

A/N: This summary is just for this chapter. I will include a short summary for every chapter.

Justin was sitting next to a woman who was holding Molly, in the adoption center. Debbie, Michael, and Brian entered the building. The woman holding Molly looked up at them and they approached her. She stood up. "Hello. Are you Debbie Novotny?"

"Yes I am. And this is my son Michael and his friend Brian."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Clarissa. And this is Molly." She said, referring to the child in her arms. "And this is Justin." Clarissa said, referring to Justin who was looking down at his teddy bear. Michael knelt in front of Justin. "Hi, I'm Michael." Justin looked up at him. "What's your name?"

"Justin," the little boy said.

"You're going to be living with me and my mother." He points to Debbie who is talking to Clarissa. Justin nods his head once, then looks at Brian. Michael is confused for a second and then looks to where Justin is looking. "This is Brian, my best friend."

"Hi." Brian said.

"Hi." Justin said back.

"Come on. Time to go." Debbie said, walking up to them, holding Molly, and a small duffel bag. Justin hopped down from the chair, and walked behind them to the car.

When they got home, Debbie took Molly and Justin into the house. She had to do something, so she asked Michael to give Justin a tour of the house. Since Brian didn't want to go home, he stayed with Michael, and "helped" with the tour. After the tour, Michael and Brian hung out in Michael's room, Molly was sleeping, and Justin sat on the couch. Doing nothing. "Justin, do you want something to eat?" Debbie asked.

"Sure." He went into the kitchen and sat at the table. Debbie made him a sandwich and set it in front of him. At first he just looked at it, then started eating it.

"You okay?" Debbie asked Justin.

"Yeah. I just miss mommy and daddy." Debbie goes over to him and hugs him, and he starts crying.

"I know you do. They miss you." After a couple minutes, Justin calms down and eats the sandwich. Brian and Michael come downstairs laughing.

"That is so not true." Michael laughed.

"Yes it is." Brian laughed. Debbie goes over to them.

"Do you guys mind watching Justin?" She whispered.

"I don't." Michael said.

"I guess neither do I," Brian said.

"Thanks. I have to go to work. Are you sure you're fine watching him?"

"Yes." Michael answered.

"Molly's upstairs sleeping. Oh shit! I have to get baby food."

"I'll get it. We could take Justin and Molly with us to the store. It's not that far."

"Okay. Bye." She leaves. Michael looks around and he doesn't see Brian. He looks in the kitchen and sees him there talking to Justin. He goes over to them. They both look up at him. "Hey." Michael said. "I have to go get baby food. Brian, do you want to go with me?"

"Sure."

"We have to take Justin and Molly."

"Okay." Michael gets Molly, who was awake when he went to go get her. He came down, holding her.

When they started walking, Justin ran up next to Brian, and held his hand. Brian looked down at him, and Justin looked up at him and smiled, and sucked on his thumb. Brian smiled a little smile back. They continued walking until they got to the store.
