Hello! Yes, I know, it's been a while. School got in the way… Again… As usual, I do not own Laura Osnes, Nathan Johnson, or Lyla the dog. But Addie is ALLLL MINE!
Addie slowly opened her eyes. Light filtered through the pale pink curtains, Laura was sleeping peacefully, her arms wrapped loosely around Addie's shoulders. She smiled, and lightly kissed her cheek.
"Morning, mommy." Addie whispered, and Laura's eyes opened.
"Did… You just call me mommy?" She asked, tears welling in her bright blue eyes. Addie nodded, and snuggled against Laura's shoulder. "I'm a mommy…." She said tearfully, and Addie looked up at her, confusion written on her sweet face.
"Why are you crying, mommy?" Laura kissed her head.
"I'm just happy Addie, baby…" Addie smiled, then frowned. "What's wrong?" She asked.
"What are we gonna tell Mrs. Kelly and the kids?" Addie asked. Laura smiled,
"I'm going to call her right now!" She said, tickling Addie. She giggled,
"Mommy! Stop!" She laughed, which just made Laura tickle her harder. Out of breath from laughing, they both stopped, Addie still giggling breathlessly. Laura grabbed the phone from the bedside table and called Mrs. Ann Kelly.
"Hello…?" Mrs. Kelly mumbled sleepily.
"Hey Ann!"
"Laura, it's seven AM on a Saturday, why?" Laura giggled.
"I have something VERY exciting to tell you!" Mrs. Kelly sighed.
"Okay, go on and tell me before you explode…" She stopped. "Wait, are you pregnant again?" Laura laughed.
"No, but we do have a child.."
"Oh my god, Laura! Did you and Nate go all Bonnie and Clyde on someone?!" Addie giggled, and Laura shushed her.
"No, Ann, we've adopted someone, someone we both know.."
"Who?! I'm wide awake now! C'mon Laura!" Laura handed Addie the phone.
"Hi, Mrs. Kelly!" Addie giggled.
"A-Addie..?" There was an excited squeal from the other end of the phone. "OMIGOD LAURA!" They both laughed, and Laura slowly put the phone back up to her ear.
"You okay, Ann?"
"Y-yeah… Oh my god! I'm so happy for both of you!"
"So are we, Ann.. We love her so much already.." Laura said, smiling down at Addie.
"Aww.. So, I'll announce it on monday? Or would you rather do it?"
"I wanna tell Brooklynn." Addie said, and Laura nodded.
"We'll tell them all together, Addie.."
"But.. I wanna tell her before anyone else, is that okay?"
"Sure, baby, she's your best friend. You can tell her whenever you want." Laura smiled.
"How 'bout now?" Addie said, smiling.
"Sure, Addie. Just let me get off the phone wit Mrs. Kelly first.." Addie nodded. Laura and Ann talked for quite a while, and Addie laid her head in Laura's lap, sighing happily.
"Bye, Ann, you can go back to sleep now."
"Not a chance, Laura.." She laughed. "I'll see you monday."
"Okay, Ann.." Laura hung up the phone.
