Chapter 2: Blind
When mister and misses bei fong came home, misses bei fong immidiatly ordered the maids to make the nursery ready, which they had kept even after misses bei fong had heard she would never be able to get a baby the biological way… they had wanted to wait a few years until the war would end then adopt a child….. Then give her a warm bath and some propper clothes, after that Misses bei fong was already sitting in the living area with a bottle. The little girl must have been famish, because she almost threw herself at the bottle once she smelled the milk…
"I guess the mother had no milk left to feed her, the poor girl was starving…"
Popey bei fong thought as she smiled while she fed the little girl…. That was until she saw something was off….. Her eyes…. They weren't green anymore….. Instead they were grey now…. At first she thought it was the lightfall in the room, so she went to were the light was brighter and she could see more clearly, but even then she saw that her eyes were grey….
"thats strange, but that man and woman can't have switched her with another child…. Lao and I would have noticed that…."
Poppey bei fong thought to herself as she inspected the baby closely…. It sure was thesame baby as before…. Only her little sparkeling green eyes had turned a foggy grey for some odd reason…. Misses bei fong now called for her husband as well as for the best doctor there was, who also confirmed that toph had been able to see at one time, but lost her sight somehow…. Do he couldn't tell how it happened either…
"it almost seems like magic….. If…that ofcourse was a REAL thing….."
The doctor said as he looked up from examening the child, which was looking around curiously, listening to all the strange sounds around her … not understanding at all… what was going on around her…
"could a surgery change anything in her current situation?"
Lao bei fong asked with a stern look as he looked at the beaming little girl that was currently playing with her toes happily, unaware of the situation she was in right now….
"No, i'm afraid surgery would only make things worse….. She is still a baby…. That kind of stuff could kill her…."
the doctor said as he started to pack his things before he left the room, after mister and misses bei fong had thanked him for his time. After the man had gone however… lao bei fong got his robe and things and started to head for the door as well…
'were are you going lao?"
poppey bei fong asked him with a shocked look as she watched him bark some commands at his servants as he was heading to the door. Worried about what he was gonna do now he found out their child was blind…
"i'm going back there and DEMAND a explenation as well as another baby…. Since its OBVIOUS she switched them when we weren't looking.."
Lao bei fong raged as he looked at his wife and the child they had chosen with a firm look. Poppey bei fong looked at him sternly then at the child which was now sleeping in her arms peacefully, she knew for sure that the child wasn't switched while they weren't look…. And she had to be honest…. She couldn't BEAR the thought of giving the child back to her mother,… she was already deeply bound with it…
"lao stop! We can't change her like she is some faull food product…. She is a human being! "
Poppey bei fong said with a stern voice as she grabbed her husband by his upper arm and forced him to look her in the eye…
"that woman was OBVIOUSLY not strong enough to care for the child and she is BLIND! For spirits sake! Think were the poor child could land if we were to give her back….besides….. The mother will be most likely death by now anyway…. "
Poppey said as she looked down at the little girl which was making snoring sounds as she was clutching to her new mommies robes.
"here she will at least be safe….. We have the money and staff to care and protect her….. The poor fragile thing…"
she said with a soft look on the peacefully sleeping baby girl in her arms…. This was all they had ever wanted…. To have a child to call their very own…. And this child was blind, helpless, weak and fragile….. They could raise it the way they wanted her to be… without having to be afraid their daughter would be able to run from them….. Their lives would be perfect at last…. Her mother was most likely death by now…. She would NEVER be able to claim her back…. And due to her blindness she wouldn't be able to leave the walls of their estate unseen…
"poppey is right…. That mother is most likely death by now… and since I doubt that weird man was the father he could give her to the wrong people, since he most like doesnt cares for the woman at all…. No… we best keep here here under our protection…. At least she will be safe here…."
Lao bei fong thought as he put his robe back on the coat rack and went over to give his wife and daughter a kiss.
"okay then….. She can stay…. But from now on… she is OUR daughter…. OUR flesh and blood… and if anyone askes…. She is BORN blind….. I don't wanne hear a WORD about the strange events of today…"
Lao bei fong said strictly, since he was a simple wealthy man, who didn't believed in nonsense like "magic" ore anything like that…. Nor did his wife…. So they would act like this all never happened and toph was born from poppey bei fong…. And if they would ever have to face that strange woman again…. Well…. As soon as the adoption papers were signed there would be nothing that woman would be able to do….. Toph would be forever theirs to keep…..
" i'm sure she will be a perfect daughter for us honey…. You'll see she will give us all the joy we so longed for…"
Poppey bei fong beamed at her husband as she cuddled their little daughter close… who was obviously awake now… perking up her ears as she was trying to hear what her parents were saying… while poppey bei fong gave her husband a kiss, just before the maids came to say that the nursery was ready for THEIR daughter…. THEIR flesh and blood….. Which was all she would be from now on…..

A few days later the notary came in to drop off the adoption papers mister and misses bei fong had to sign, they were overjoyed once the papers were finally signed, which meant toph was now fully THEIR daughter….even IF that woman came back… she wouldn't be able to get her back without a fight before the court which they would (ofcourse) win….. Ofcourse the notary, as well as all their staff had to SWEAR they would never tell toph that she was adopted, since lao and poppey bei fong knew from gossips how difficult teenagers could be…. And if toph were to find out she was adopted she COULD go look for her biological mother, which would mean they would lose their only daughter…. Which was something they feared more then anything else in the world…..
"do its more likely the woman turns out to be death…"
Lao bei fong thought as the notary promised he would NEVER reveal toph was adopted to anyone…. Before he took his leave, looking at the blind girl in the crib with a sad look, wishing her the best of luck in silence…..
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
In the house a lot of adjustments were made…. To keep the blind girl that was now their daughter safe and secure….. So was the girl not allowed to take a bath ore use the bathroom on her own… nor could she go into the garden on her own…. and she had to get helped in and out of beth when she was older, since for now someone had to take her out of the beth anyway…. And rule number 1 in the bei fong house was from now on: the child CAN'T leave the grounds off the estate…. This was all done to keep the girl safe…. So she wouldn't be able to hurt herself on accident…. Ore get in touch with people who knew to match….. About the one thing that would NEVER be mentioned in the house again,….. That toph was adopted…..

And with that I end the second chapter of my newest story, I hope you all liked it!
A/N
Lao and poppey bei fong knew from gossips about other rich families sons and daughter how match trouble teenagers could be, and that along with the idea of losing their only child they made all these preparations to keep toph hidden from the world, as well as the preperations to keep her safe…
Lao and poppey bei fong, along with everyone else in this world won't believe in magic, thinking it was something that only excisted in fairy tales, because just like in the serie "winx club" all magic was erased from this demension a long time ago…. More info about that will follow in the storyline…
The name of the husband of tophs biological mother will be daniel freakshow, there will be more details about him in the story as well, but he won't be visably there since he died before the start of this story…. Sorry about that….
I made up the lie lao made up about toph being born blind since toph mentioned in the series that she was born blind, this would do perfectly as a explaination why she would believe that... right?
I sure hope I made lao and poppey bei fong sound like their original characters... I did my best...
Well that was it for another chapter, I sure hope you all enjoyed it! Thanks for reading and don't forget to
REVIEUW!
