Chapter 2: Jade's Issue

It was a bright and sunny afternoon in Los Angeles and Yasmin was driving down Rosemary Boulevard, on her way to downtown LA, to buy some clothes for her and Kayla. The girls were with her, well, Cloe and Sasha were. The men were having their male bonding time at Yasmin and Cameron's place, and the kids were at school. Jade had went to the doctor. "Did Kayla say she wanted anything specific?" Sasha asked. "Yeah," Yasmin answered. "Five Hannah Montana t-shirts, six pairs of jeans, and two pairs of sneakers." "That girl likes to shop doesn't she?" Sasha asked. "Totally." Yasmin said. Her cell phone rang the tone of 'Tear Drops On My Guitar', by Taylor Swift. She picked up her phone, opened it up, and answered, "Hello?" "Oh Yasmin," Jade said. "I have a problem." "What's wrong?" Yasmin asked. Jade was too upset to get it out. "Meet me at my house," she said. "I'll tell you guys then." "Okay." Yasmin said. She closed up her phone and said, "Jade's upset, but she's gonna tell us at her house." "Okay." Cloe said. Yasmin turned around and drove to Jade's house.

"Now what are you gonna tell us?" Sasha asked. The girls were sitting around Jade's kitchen table. "Okay," Jade said. "When I went to the doctor, he said that I might not be able to have children." The girls were shocked. "Why?" Cloe asked. "I don't know," Jade said. "But he said that if I wanted one so bad, I could adopt one." "Then do that," Cloe said as she picked up the phone book. "Look, there's an orphanage a few blocks from here, my mom's friend's, daughter sponsered a child there, she said that each week, you get a letter from the child that you're helping, a letter and a picture, and you can go and visit them, and after i think four weeks, you can decided whether or not you want to adopt the child." Jade thought and said, "That's not a bad idea." "Yeah," Sasha agreed. "It's not." "Is it open now?" Jade asked. "Should be," Cloe said. "It's Friday, more like it better be." She looked through the phonebook and found the number to the Los Angeles Orphanage. "Call." Cloe said. "You do it." Jade said. "Hello," Cloe said. "I'm pregnant with a child, I'm not adopting." Jade shook her head and took the phone. She called the orphanage and talked to a couple people. After hanging up, she said, "I can come now." "Cool." Cloe said. The girls got up, piled into Yasmin's Black Cadillac Escalade, then drove on downtown.

The girls walked into the Los Angeles Orphanage. "Hi," Jade greeted to the lady at the desk. "I'm Jade Suarez, I just called." "Aahh," said the lady as she looked at the list. "It's nice to meet you, right this way to the children." The girls followed the lady to the back. They came into a room with a bunch of sleeping children. "How old are they?" Cloe asked, whispering. "Ages three to four." the lady answered, whispering. The girls went back out the the lady said, "Now Jade, you have to fill out this paper work." Jade and the girls sat down and Jade began filling out paper work. "How much work is that?" Sasha asked as she started flipping through a magazine. Jade filled out the paper work then handed it back to the lady at the desk. "Okay," said the lady. "Now, pick a child of this list." Jade was handed a piece of paper. She looked over it and picked a three year old girl named Angela. "Good choice," the lady at the desk said. "We have no problems out of her, we'll call you tomorrow with additional details and you'll be sent a letter about when you can come and visit her." "Okay," Jade said. "Thank you so much." She and the girls left and went shopping. Afterwards, they went to Yasmin's house.

"Hi mommy." Kayla said as Yasmin walked into the house with the girls. "Hi Kayla." Yasmin said. She hugged her daughter and Kayla asked, "What did you get me?" "I got the jeans and t-shirts, and we're gonna go and get the sneakers tomorrow." Yasmin answered. "Okay." Kayla said. She went and climbed up into her daddy's lap. "Hey Yasmin." Cameron said. "Hey honey." Yasmin said. She kissed him and asked, "Guess what we spent half of our day doing?" "By the look on your face," Eitan said. "It doesn't look good, but what?" "Spent half the day at the orphanage," Cloe said. "Getting Jade applied so she can adopt a child." "How much paper work did she fill out?" Dylan asked. "Too much." Sasha answered. "Okay then." Koby said. Yasmin sat down beside Cameron and put her head on his shoulder. "Here I am," Cameron said. "Sittin' here with my two favorite girls." He kissed Yasmin's forhead then kissed Kayla's. "You guys are like, one big happy family." "Okay," Cloe said. "As much as I'd love to stay here, me and Dill need to finish baby clothes shopping, don't we babe?" "Yeah," Dylan answered getting up. "See you guys later." "Bye." everyone said. Dylan and Cloe left and Jade said, "Yeah, we better get going too." "Yeah, same here." Sasha agreed. Everyone else left and Kayla said, "Mommy, what's for dinner?" "Daddy's turn to make dinner." Yasmin said. She kissed Cameron and went upstairs. "What are we gonna have daddy?" Kayla asked. "I don't know," Cameron said. "Maybe we could go out for dinner." "I like that idea." Yasmin butted in as she came back downstairs. "Okay then," Cameron said. "Out for dinner it is." The family went on out for an evening as a family.
