2 and a half years after Jori adopts Ginger and Nash. Jori since then has gotten married.
"Jade come on! She'll be here any minute!" Tori yelled up the stairs to her wife.
Tori smiled at the thought of her wife. Jade had proposed a year after having Ginger and Nash. Tori had had the same idea and they said yes. Tori became Victoria Dawn Vega-West and Jade became Jadelyn August West-Vega. Tori and Jade discussed it and decided to drop a last name. Tori decided that she'd drop her last name because Jade Vega just didn't feel right.
A year after they married, they decided they wanted to adopt. Pulling as many strings as they could, they found a girl of 4 years in dire need of love. Her name was Isabella Marie North. Isabella had been abused and traumatized by her parents. She's terrified of any male and scared around strangers. Her parents are serving time in jail but have no idea that Isabella was moved to another state.
Isabella was coming to stay with them permanently as the adoption had gone through. Isabella had visited with Jade and Tori many times throughout the adoption and was fine around them. Nash and Ginger had taken a liking to her as well. Nash stayed by Isabella's side and Ginger would also but only to snuggle.
"Tori calm down. You don't want to scare Bella, do you?" Jade asked as she came down the stairs with the dogs hot on her trail.
"No but I'm excited that she's finally going to stay here and not just until Sunday afternoon." Tori said as the dogs waited at the door.
"I know but contain yourself until she gets settled here." Jade said before kissing Tori.
"Alright." Tori said as Nash started pawing at the front door. "What it is it Nash?" Tori asked as she looked at the chocolate labrador retriever.
Nash kept pawing at the door so Tori let him out. Tori saw a car pulling up their driveway and knew it was Isabella's social worker with Isabella in the backseat.
"Jade she's here." Tori said with a huge smile on her face.
"Calm down babe. I see that Bella is here." Jade said calmly even though she was as happy and excited on the inside as Tori was on the outside.
Jade joined Tori out on the front porch and waited for Isabella's social worker to get Isabella out. Nash stood wagging his tail at Isabella's car door waiting to say hello.
"Nash come here boy." Jade said and the dog ran to her side. "Sit." She said and he did. "Good dog." Jade said and petted his head.
"Ginger come here girl." Tori called to the dog who was where Nash had been. "Sit." She said and Ginger did so obediently. "Good girl."
"Afternoon ladies." Isabella's social worker, Allison Everwood said as she went to Isabella's car door.
"Afternoon Allison." Tori said as Allison opened the door.
Allison stuck her head inside and helped a little girl with light brown hair, much like Jade's had been before she had died it black and green eyes with a spot of brown in her right eye. Their Isabella was home. She wore a pink sequin ruffle dress and black Mary Janes and carried a grey bunny with flowers on the inside of the ears.
"Welcome to your new home sweetie." Tori said as she went to Isabella and gave her a hug.
"Thank you." She said softly as she hugged Tori back.
"Nash is pretty anxious to see you again. So be careful when you go see him." Jade said as she hugged Isabella after Tori let go.
"Okay. Can I see him now?"
"Sure. Nash come here boy." Jade said as she let go of Isabella and Nash came running. "Nash slow." Jade commanded and Nash stopped his running to a walk.
"Go say hi to him sweetie." Tori said as she went to help Allison unload Isabella's bags.
When Tori had all of Isabella's bags unloaded, Jade helped take them into the house. When they finished Isabella was sitting on the lawn snuggling Ginger, while Nash was laying down with his head in her lap. Tori and Jade awed at the sight and snapped pictures with their phones.
"The papers will be ready to sign tomorrow morning at the courthouse. It's been a pleasure helping you expand your family. Congratulations." Allison said as she got ready to leave.
"Thank you so much. Have a good day and safe drive." Tori said as Allison got into her car and then drove off.
"Let's go play with our daughter." Jade said as she wrapped her arm around Tori and pulled her to where Isabella still sat.
"Are you my mommies yet?" Isabella asked when Jade and Tori sat beside her.
"Almost. Tomorrow morning it'll be official. You'll become Isabella Marie West." Jade said as she watched Isabella react to the news.
"I'll be a West?"
"Is that what?" Tori asked.
"Yes. I just thought I'd have Vega as a last name too." She said softly.
"Well I dropped Vega from my name. I'm Victoria Dawn West now." Tori said as Jade nodded.
"Will you still be my mama?" Isabella asked looking at Tori with wide eyes.
"Of course I will." Tori said and gave her a hug and a kiss.
"Tomorrow you'll become my mommy?" Isabella asked, this time looking at Jade.
"Yes." Jade said before stealing Isabella from Tori and giving her a hug and a kiss.
"Can I call you mama and mommy now or do I have to wait until tomorrow?" Isabella asked as the dogs wandered away from them.
"You can if you want to. If you feel comfortable doing so, then yes you can." Tori said as Isabella got a smile on her face.
"Okay mama." She said happily.
"Let's head inside and you can see your room. We have to get you all settled in." Jade said as she stood up with Isabella on her hip.
"Yeah I want to see my stage." Isabella said as Jade and Tori laughed.
"Nash! Ginger! Inside!" Tori yelled and the dogs came running to the house.
They all headed upstairs to Isabella's room. Tori had grabbed her bags on the way up and Jade opened the door. The room was big. The back wall that held all the windows was pink and leading up to the windows were two steps that rose the floor creating a stage. Curtains hung to close the stage and keep the sun out. The left wall was blue and had a tree with many branches that had blooming flowers. A daybed sat in front with a nightside beside a small window. The right wall was the same blue and had her dresser before opening to her closet.
Tori set Isabella's bags on her bed and began to unpack and put the clothes away. Isabella wandered around the room before sitting on the stairs that led to her stage. Jade was helping Tori and Nash and Ginger went to Isabella. Isabella began to hum. Isabella was humming a familiar song that Jade and Tori remembered. It was 'Make It Shine', which Tori released on her first record she did with Andre.
Jade and Tori didn't say anything until Isabella was done. In the midst of humming Isabella had actually began to sing. Her voice was so angelic and Tori and even Jade got misty. When the song was over they had finished unpacking. They went to Isabella and sat beside her.
"You were great sweetheart." Jade said and Isabella blushed and looked away from them.
"She's right sweetie. Do you enjoy singing?" Tori asked and Isabella nodded. "Then we can look to sign you up for a few classes. How does that sound?"
"It sounds great. Thank you mama." Isabella said before hugging Tori.
"How about we have an early dinner and then watch movies in the theater room?" Jade asked as Isabella's eyes widen and nodded.
"Okay let's figure out what's for dinner." Tori said as they all left Isabella's room.
"Can we have pizza?" Isabella asked as they headed downstairs.
"Sure sweetie. What would like on it?" Jade asked.
"Just cheese."
"Okay. I'll go call it in." Tori said and left Jade, Isabella, Nash, and Ginger at the bottom of the staircase.
"Mommy?"
"Yes sweetie?"
"Can we eat the pizza in the theater room?" Isabella asked looking up at Jade with puppy dog eyes.
"Sure but only this once." Jade said as Tori came back to them.
"It'll be here in 15 minutes." Tori said. "I also ordered drinks, bread sticks, and cinnamon sticks."
"Great. We're going to eat it in the theater room." Jade said as Tori nodded.
They went downstairs to where the theater room was and began to set up for their night of movies. They changed into their pajamas. Jade wore a black tank top and yoga pants while Tori wore a pink hello kitty tank top and black mock layer hello kitty pants. Isabella wore a pink long sleeve shirt with a zebra on it with matching pink pants with zebra stripes and bows on them.
Tori got the pizza while Jade set the first movie up. Isabella had chosen to watch Balto. Tori came back before the movie started and they began to eat as the movie began. They watched three more movies before Isabella showed signs of being tired.
"Come on sweetie. Time for bed." Jade said as Isabella rose her arms to be carried.
Jade obliged and carried Isabella off to her room with Tori and the dogs following. Jade placed Isabella in her bed and handed her her bunny. Nash jumped onto the bed and took the foot of the bed. Tori laughed and patted him on the head. Ginger jumped on next and went up to Isabella's head and grabbed the bunny in her mouth and dropped it on the floor. Then she went and snuggled into Isabella.
Jade and Tori did their best to contain their laughter and gave Isabella goodnight kisses.
"Goodnight sweetie." Jade said.
"Goodnight sweetheart." Tori said.
"Night night mama and mommy." Isabella said tiredly as her eyes closed.
Jade and Tori left the room and left the door cracked. They went downstairs and into the theater room and cleaned up the mess. Finishing quickly they headed for bed.
"Finally the bed to ourselves again." Jade said as she snuggled into her pillow which happened to be Tori.
"It's your fault for giving into Ginger on that first night." Tori said giggling.
"Whatever. Now she can sleep with Bella. Nash too. He hogged my foot room and I had to sleep all bunched up.
"Now he'll do that to Bella." Tori said.
"I hope so. Goodnight. Love you." Jade said as she began to close her eyes.
"Goodnight. Love you too." Tori said as they began to drift off to sleep.
Five to ten minutes later
"Mama? Mommy?" Isabella asked softly with Nash and Ginger by her sides.
"What's the matter sweetie?" Jade asked her voice laced with sleep.
"I had a bad dream. Can I sleep in here?"
"Just tonight sweetie." Jade said as she helped Isabella onto the bed and put her in the middle.
"Thank you mommy." Isabella said as she snuggled into Jade and fell asleep.
"Sure hope you know what you're getting into." Tori laughed causing Jade to glare at her.
"Watch it. This will be you tomorrow." Jade said before she went to sleep as Nash and Ginger got on the bed.
Next night after bedtime
"Told ya so." Jade laughed as she'd seen Isabella snuggle into Tori and fall asleep.
"Shut up." Tori said as she watched Ginger snuggle into Jade and Nash lay at her feet and she laughed.
"Shut up."
"Love you too baby." Tori said as Jade stuck out her tongue.
