Chapter 2: Becoming Mothers

2 years had passed since both Fareeha Amari and Angela Ziegler got married to each other, it was their 2 year anniversary and they were spending a whole week together in a hotel in Giza, Egypt, Fareeha's home country. Fareeha and Angela, were sitting on the pool side next to the hotel pool, the setting of the pool area was beautiful, palm trees on one side, a mini bar implemented in the pool for the adults, 2 big and long water slides, just one of the most high end pools you could ever imagine.

"It so beautiful here, meine geliebte(my love)." – Angela said

"Yes it is, now you know why I wanted to take you here. This was my home for a little while then my mother joined Overwatch and of course, I had to move away from here with her. I only wish, I got the chance to spend more time here with her." - Fareeha said

"I'm sure she would've loved it here too, darling. Anyway, I'm happy that you brought me here for our anniversary, this seems like the perfect time to ask you." – Angela said

"Ask me what?" – Fareeha asked

"Well I've been thinking about this for quite a long time now and never had the chance to ask you, but now I feel like now's the right time." – Angela said

"Go ahead, sweetie, I'm all yours." – Fareeha said

"Well…we've been happily married for 2 years now…" – Angela paused

"Yes and those have been the best 2 years of my life, do go on." – Fareeha said

"…and we both have been living together in our nice new home, which has a ton of unused space…" – Angela pauses again

"…annnnnnnnnnnd?" – Fareeha asked

"And I was thinking that…maybe…it's the right time." – Angela continued

"What's the right time?" - Fareeha asked

"I think it's time you and I finally started a family." – Angela said

"A family? You mean…" – Fareeha asked

"Fareeha… Angela grabs both of Fareeha's hands I want to be a mother." – Angela said

"Angela, you want to have a baby? You and I are both female, how can we have a child?!" – Fareeha asked

"That's the thing, I know it's impossible for two women to form their own offspring, that's why I want to adopt a baby instead!" – Angela explained

"Adopt a baby? Are you sure this is want you want Angela? Do you even have the knowledge of taking care of a child? Because children, especially in their infant years are a lot of responsibility, they need constant attention, they need to be tended to 24/7, that's not even the beginning of what they need. It's not something that you can just breeze through, Angela, are you sure that we can handle it?" – Fareeha asked

"Yes, Fareeha I'm sure, I've done a lot of research on how to take care of a baby. We'll do fine, I promise. There's a foster home and an adoption center not too far from our home back in Carolina, I passed by it on my way back from the hospital. There were so many children there, so I'm sure we can find a baby there. Please, mein schatz(my sweet heart), please say yes! I really want us to be a family! It'll be perfect, our child can have their own room, and we can finally something to fill that empty room? Haven't you ever thought about being a mom before?" – Angela asked

"I can't say I never did. Angela, having a baby is a life changing experience and I know absolutely nothing about taking care of a child, but you are my wife and I want you to be as happy as you can be and if adopting a child will make you happy, then fine, we can adopt one. " – Fareeha said

"Really?! Thank you, Fareeha! I'm so happy you said that, I can't wait to get back home and start the adoption process! I love you so much! I just know, our child will be so happy we adopted it and we'll be an amazing family together! You, me, and I our beautiful son or daughter!" – Angela said excitingly kissing Fareeha on the cheek right after

"I just hope it all goes well, Angela." – Fareeha said

"It will, I promise." – Angela said

So it was official, Angela and Fareeha have decided to adopt a baby, Angela, of course, was excited beyond any doubt and couldn't wait to start the necessary procedures to adopting a baby when they got back home from Giza. As for Fareeha, she was still trying to take it all in, she just agreed to adopting a baby with Angela and she doesn't know anything about taking care of a baby, let alone adopting one. This was going to be a long road ahead for her.

A Few Months after the Giza, Egypt Trip, the Day before the Adoption

A few months has passed finally leading up to the day before the adoption, during that time, both Fareeha and Angela have been going through the application process for the adoption. First, of course, they had to go to the nearest adoption center and fill out huge amounts of applications and forms, after that, they had to go through numerous amounts of interviews including a home inspection to check to see if their home was safe for the child to be raised in, and then a couple of interviews and forms later, Angela had finally got a call later on from the center, saying they had a baby that they would love and was just what they were looking for. During their last interview, the interviewer showed them pictures and more information about the child. She's a 15 pound healthy 25.41 inch browned haired girl from South Korea, she was transported to the U.S after her parents had perished when an giant Omnic ravished through her home town in Busan, destroying her house and killing her parents when she was only 6 months old. She lived in a foster home for 2 months. The baby's name is Hana Song and she was going to be the daughter of both Mrs. Fareeha and Angela Amari. Both mothers-to-be went to Ikea and Babies R Us to buy a crib, baby clothes, toys, and all of the things their new daughter is going to need. Angela and Fareeha were putting together the crib they bought, but it was Fareeha that was doing most of the work, Angela didn't have a clue on how to build a crib; all she did was buy and help bring the crib inside the house.

"How's the crib coming along, mein schatz?(my sweet heart) It seems to be taking quite a while." – Angela asked

"It's going good, just a few more bars and it'll be all finished." – Fareeha replied

"Could've finished this an hour ago if I had some extra help" – Fareeha said under her breath

"Do you think the baby will like it?" – Angela asked

"I hope so, one of the employees at Ikea said it was the best one they had on the floor, and the most expensive." – Fareeha said

"I can't believe it, tomorrow's the big day, tomorrow's the day we officially become mothers!" –Angela said excitingly

"Yeah, it all happened so fast too, I did not expect that day to come so quickly. It's a good thing we bought all of the necessary things the baby's going to need." – Fareeha said.

"Aren't you excited, meine geliebte(my love)? We're going to be parents! I've always dreamed of having my own child, even if the baby isn't my own blood, the thought of raising a child that you can call yours is something I've always looked forward to." – Angela

Angela without a doubt was more excited to be a mother than Fareeha, who agreed to the adoption, but didn't quite feel prepared for the huge responsibility she's going have on her shoulders. She had a strange feeling inside her, she was feeling like something was crawling in her stomach, knowing that tomorrow she's going to have to take care of someone else's kid for the rest of her life, at least until the child is old enough to take care of itself. Maybe it was something about her past that made her feel this way, but what could it be exactly?

"Angela…I have to be honest, I don't think… that I'll be a good mother for our child." – Fareeha said with a depressing look on her face

"Wha-why? Why is that, darling?" – Angela asked

"I don't know anything about being a mother, a good mother at that. I love my mother and I'm happy that she's returned into my life, but don't forget, when I was told on the day of her accident, that she was killed in action. From that day until I started dating you, I felt like I had no one left, to this day, I still don't know who my real father is and my mother had been away for all these years and she missed out on so much of my life including me becoming a captain at Helix Security. I guess what I'm trying to say is, this baby has been through so much with the death of her family, I don't want her to go through the same thing that happened me and make her life any worse than it probably already is." – Fareeha said

"Fareeha…" – Angela said quietly

"What if I fail? What if she doesn't like me?" – Fareeha asked depressingly

Angela hugs Fareeha tightly

"Now, Fareeha that is just pure nonsense! That child may have gone through horrible times, but that doesn't mean she can't come to love you as her parent! I lost my parents when I was just a child, but did that stop me from wanting to become a doctor, a wife, and a mother? No! Fareeha, you are a beautiful, strong, loving and caring person and exactly what this baby needs right now! I honestly think that you'll be a better mom than me because I can just see it in you Fareeha, you have the qualities to be a great mother and our baby is going to see how great you are. Tomorrow is going to be another step into our new lives and you and I will enhance her life in so many amazing ways. I just know we will be great parents!" – Angela said

Fareeha hugs Angela back and smiles

"Thank you, sweetheart, but I still think that you'll be a better mother than me." – Fareeha said

"No matter who does it better, let's just make our child's life an amazing one together…as a family."- Angela said gladly

"Well, I better finish putting together this crib." – Fareeha said while inserting one of the crib bars

"Here, sweetie. Let me help." – Angela insisted

"Oh so now you want to help me. Huh, lazy?!" – Fareeha said laughing

"Be quiet!" – Angela replied while also laughing

Fareeha and Angela had finished putting the crib together as well as putting the lullaby toy on top. An hour later, the rest of the room was done and ready for little baby Hana. It was late and both of them had to sleep and be prepared to pick up their new baby tomorrow morning.

The Next Day at the adoption center

When both Fareeha and Angela arrived at the adoption center, they had to wait because they had to get all of Hana's things together.

"The day is here, my love. As of today we are officially mothers!" – Angela said excitingly

"Here it is… the day we have been waiting for has finally come." – Fareeha said

"I hope she loves the new toys back home." – Angela said

"I think the $50 huge teddy bear you bought will be more than enough for her." - Fareeha said

"You called your mother and Reinhardt to be at the house when we come back to meet her right?" – Angela asked

"Yeah I called them before we went to bed, she sounded so excited too." – Fareeha said

"Well of course she is! Her daughter is about to become a mother and she and Reinhardt are both about to become grandparents!" "What's not to be excited about?!" – Angela asked excitingly

An Hour Passes

It's been a whole hour since Fareeha and Angela arrived to take home Hana, but it was taking longer than they thought.

"It sure is taking quite a long time for them to get Hana ready." – Fareeha said

"They said that they had to make some forms for us to fill out so that they can confirm they Hana left with us at this exact day and time"- Angela

"Seriously? Another form to fill out?" – Fareeha asked in annoyance

"Well, they can't exactly just give us our new daughter and leave just like that, darling. They need to be extra careful of who they give orphans to no matter who the foster parents are."

"I just thought we had already finished all the forms during all those time-consuming interviews we had to go through." – Fareeha said

"Don't worry, sweetie, just one more form and then we'll be out of here before you know it." – Angela said

A few minutes later, one of the adoption center employees finally approached the two women, and in her arms wrapped inside a blanket was the thing that was going change their lives for the better.

"Here she is. Doctor Ziegler. Mrs. Amari. On behalf of the adoption center, I am proud to introduce you lovely ladies to your new daughter. Hana Song."- The employee said happily

The employee unwrapped a part of the blanket that was covering half of the baby's face and gave her to Angela, who had tears in her eyes.

"Fareeha…this is her! This is our daughter! We're mothers now!" – A teary eyed Angela said with a breaking voice smiling

Angela's excited tone woke up Hana and she saw her new mother standing before her. Her eyes were beautiful with a dark brown color and sparkles in her pupils could be seen. One of her small hands tried to reach out to Angela, it looked like she was trying to grab the doctor's nose. Angela was still crying and Fareeha was just standing beside Angela in silence.

"Baaah-"– Baby Hana said to her new mom

"Hi, sweetie! My name is Angela and this is Fareeha. We're your new mommies! Welcome to our family! We can't wait to take you back home! Your new home. *sniffs* We have a nice big crib for you to sleep in, toys including a huge teddy bear so you can lie on it, beautiful clothes for you to wear, *sniffs* and so many other things waiting for you back home. Fareeha come and meet your new daughter!" – Angela said with tears falling down her face

Angela gave Hana to Fareeha

"Hello, Hana. You don't quite exactly know us yet, but as Angela said, we're your new mothers. You look so adorable up close." – Fareeha said

"Ma-"– Hana said to Fareeha

Fareeha starts tearing up.

"You must've had a rough time being here all by yourself, but I want you to know that as long as you're with Angela and me, you can put your security into our hands because you have nothing to worry about. Angela lost her parents when she was very young and as for my parents, I never knew my father and my mother was badly injured in a war, so she wasn't able to see me for a very long time, but we've been able to overcome those hard times and come together as a couple and now… we can come together as a family." – Fareeha said with a breaking voice

Fareeha fully begins to cry

"Hana… *sniffs* When Angela said that she wanted to adopt a baby, I was very nervous, because you see, I didn't know how to raise a baby, but now that I'm holding you in my arms, *sniffs* I feel like everything's going to be okay." – Fareeha said

"Ah-"– Hana said trying to speak to her new mother

Hana, I don't even fully know you yet… and already… *sniffs* …I love you so very much! *sniffs* Welcome to our family… my new baby daughter!" – Fareeha said voice cracking with tears still falling

Fareeha held Hana tight and close to her, her forehead touching the infant's as tears fell onto her face. Angela hugged them both tightly. Both still crying and happy at the fact that they just became a family. It was another beautiful moment in their lives. It was now official, the married couple of former Overwatch Field Medic Angela Ziegler and ex-military captain of Helix Security International Fareeha Amari have both become mothers of victimized orphan Hana Song.
