Monday morning eventually came. Jade was so excited about meeting Shabnam but as the day arrived she became more and more nervous about it. She was scared that her mum wasn't going to love her and that the same thing would happen as what happened with Dean. It really worried her. It wasn't her fault she was ill.

Jade got changed into jeans and a t-shirt. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was a mess. She tried to brush it herself but she couldn't reach it properly. Jade sighed, her mum would never want her now.

Meanwhile Shabnam was feeling even more nervous. She didn't want to disappoint Jade. She was scared as to how the girl would react. Shabnam had meet the girl before and didn't even announce that she was her mum.

Once she was ready, she left and walked to the community centre where Jade and her social worker Susan were going to meet them. Susan was going to be staying with them as it was a supervised visit until her and Shabnam spoke in more detail.

Shabnam arrived and signed in. She was taken to a room where she sat and waited.

Jade got out of Susan's car. She was very nervous now and Susan could tell.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Susan asked and Jade nodded.

"Okay, good girl" Susan said as she took the girl's hand and walked her into the building.

"Oh it looks like your mum is already here" Susan said and Jade nodded before taking a deep breath. They walked to the room and Susan opened the door.

"Are you ready" Susan asked and Jade nodded. Susan walked in first and then Jade behind her.

Shabnam looked at the shy girl walk into the room. She was holding onto her social workers leg.

"Hello Jade" Shabnam said and Jade smiled shyly. Shabnam had a different feeling this time when she saw the girl. It was love, she wanted to protect the girl however she could.

"Jade has brought Kerplunk" Susan said "It's her favourite game"

"Shall we play it now" Shabnam asked and Jade nodded. She sat down on the ground and Shabnam sat down next to her on her knees. They started playing the game and spoke only about the game.

"Are you okay now?" Jade asked. "You looked nearly dead the last time I saw you"

"I'm okay now, I'm sorry if it frightened you" Shabnam said.

"What happened?" Jade asked.

"I was attacked" Shabnam explained.

"Why?" Jade asked.

"Em, I think it was because of who I was and how I acted around them when I went into the community centre" Shabnam explained and Jade nodded.

After 20 minutes, Jade started to get bored.

"I'm bored" Jade complained.

"What do you want to do instead?" Shabnam asked.

"Can you read me a book?" Jade asked and Shabnam nodded.

"Shall we sit on the sofa?" Shabnam asked and Jade nodded. Shabnam sat up first and then Jade sat next to her but not to close. Shabnam opened the book and started to read.

As the story went on Jade moved towards Shabnam and put her head on her shoulder.

Shabnam smiled and put her arm softly around the girl. Jade smiled and listened to Shabnam.

At the end of the story, Jade turned gently towards her mum and put her head into her mum's side.

"Hey" Shabnam said as she picked the girl up softly and did what felt right by pulling the girl into her arms. As Shabnam picked her up Jade curled into a ball.

Shabnam looked at Susan and Susan just nodded encouragingly.

"Hey, what's wrong" Shabnam asked as Jade clung onto her mum. Jade didn't speak so Shabnam just rubbed her back and tried to calm the girl down.

"Good girl, can you talk now?" Shabnam asked.

"I just wanted to be held" Jade whispered only loud enough for Shabnam to hear.

"Whenever I see you if you want to be held, I will hold you" Shabnam said and Jade nodded before turning to curl against her mum's chest.

Shabnam just stroked the girl's back and up to her hair.

"I'm sorry, it's okay if you don't want me" Jade said embarrassed.

"Hey, it's fine. I do want you. I want you more than anything. I will do everything I can to get you home with me" Shabnam said and Jade nodded before snuggling back in to her mum.

"My hair is a mess, I can't brush it properly" Jade mumbled after a couple of minutes.

"Do you want me to brush it" Shabnam asked and Jade nodded. Shabnam went into her bag and pulled out a hair brush.

She moved Jade to sit up on her knees. Shabnam brushed the girl's hair and it made it look silky.

"Good girl" Shabnam said as she stopped. Jade nodded and leant back to her mum.

"Jade, we are going to have to leave now. I think you should say bye to your mum" Susan said softly.

"No, I don't want to leave. I want to go with her" Jade said.

"I'm sorry, but you have to go back home. We will schedule another meeting with your mum" Susan said but Jade shook her head.

"How about we organise it now? Will that make you feel any better" Susan asked and Jade shrugged her shoulder.

"Okay, so how about at the end of the week?" Susan asked and Shabnam nodded.

"Why don't we make meetings a Monday and a Friday just now?" Susan asked. "At least until you go back to school?"

Shabnam nodded.

"See that's not long is it" Shabnam said.

"But I want to see you every day" Jade cried.

"Oh baby, I want that too but we have to do this properly" Shabnam explained and Jade nodded.

"Let's head out to the car" Susan said and Shabnam nodded. She stood Jade up and they walked to the car.

"Please" Jade begged.

"Come on, in the car" Shabnam said as she helped the girl in. Jade nodded and did as her mum asked.

"Good girl, I love you" Shabnam said pulling the girl into her arms. Jade nodded and put her head on her mum's shoulder.

Shabnam stepped away and smiled. She closed the door.

"You did very well with her today. Due to past experiences, I think its best that we meet twice a week to show Jade that you aren't leaving. Would you be able to come to my office tomorrow?" Susan asked and Shabnam nodded.

"Of course, what time?" Shabnam asked.

"Em, how about 2" Susan asked going through her schedule in her head.

"That's fine" Shabnam said.

They said their goodbyes and Shabnam headed home.

Jade sat nervously in the car as Susan drove her home. She had gone all quiet again.

"Are you okay?" Susan asked and Jade nodded.

"When you were speaking to my mum at the end, was it because she doesn't want me?" Jade asked.

"What? Of course not. It was more the opposite, she is looking forward to seeing you on Friday" Susan said and Jade nodded.

Jade looked out of the window. She was so embarrassed now. She couldn't believe that she had made a full out of herself in front of her mum. She bet her mum didn't want her now. She needed to not be such a baby at the next meeting so decided.

Shabnam was so happy when she got home. She arrived home and found Kush. She told him everything. All about the way the girl reacted to her and how she held her and brushed her hair. She knew she was definitely doing the right thing now.
