CPOV
Its been a week since mommy and daddy brought home our little sister, she's so tiny I know she can't hurt me so I don't mind holding her. She is the only one who can touch my chest because I know she can't hurt me. Its been 2 years since I was adopted and I haven't been about to use my words. I like my new family I have an older brother called Elliot and he is cool, I don't wrestle with him like he does with daddy or let daddy tickle me like Elliot can it looks like fun but I can't let anyone touch me as they might hurt me like he did.
My mommy Grace is my angle she took me away from him but I dream about him and how he used to hurt me. I don't sleep that much because of the bad dreams. Today mommy said their friends Ray and Carla are coming over which means their daughter Kate will be coming over too. I've know Kate since I was adopted she's ok for a girl but she does talk a lot, her and Elliot play together when they come over and they try to get me to play with them too.
I don't mind playing with them but I'm just scared they will touch me by accident so today I'm just going to sit and hold Mia. She is so tiny I want to protect her and I will she is my little sister and I will hurt anyone who tries to hurt her. So that's why I'm sitting on the sofa and have Mia in my arms as daddy tickles Elliot, when the door bell rings. Daddy keeps tickling Elliot as mommy goes to answer the door and I hear her talking to Ray and Carla. I'm looking at Mia when it feels like someone is looking at me so I look up and when I do I see a little girl stood next to Kate holding her hand. She has brown hair and blue eyes, when daddy goes over to talk to them I see her pulling Kate back a little and I wonder why she did that. Mommy takes Mia from me to she Carla and Ray so I go over and stand next to Elliot as Kate tells us that the girl Ana is her new sister. I take a few steps closer to her and as I look into her eyes I see the same sadness in her eyes, she must have been hurt like me. I take her hand in mine and I feel my hand tingle but in a good way I look up at her and smile, she is small and I feel like I have to protect her like I have to protect Mia.

We are over at the Steels house and mommy just took Mia from my arms as its time for her to have a bottle. I get down and from the sofa to go look for Ana. Since we first met Ana is like me she doesn't talk and she doesn't let people touch her, the only one how does is Mia so when we are together me and Ana like to stay with Mia.
I can hear Elliot and Kate running around playing so I run off to go find Ana, I know where she will be. She likes to sit by the doors to the garden and look outside. When I get close I can see her but I don't think she heard me running, I don't know how but I end up in the pool and I can't swim that well so I'm trying my hardest to get to the side but I can. Next thing I know daddy is in the pool and he holds my hand and pulls me to the side by the steps so I can climb out myself.
As I move away from the side of the pool and daddy gets out Ana comes running over to me and that's when I hear it "are you ok Christian?" She spoke the first time I've heard her talk and its to ask if I'm ok. I cough and for the first time as I say it in my head I hear it come from my mouth as well I say "thank you Ana I'm ok" I see her eyes go wide and I know its because I used my words. Ray comes over to her and kneels down next to Ana and says "Ana sweet heart you spoke" I look around everyone looks the same smiling and looks like they are going to cry apart from "you spoke too Christian" she smiles widely at me as I do at her and take a step towards her taking hold of her hand feeling the tingles as I always do and smile just as widely at her.
