I arrived in no time, as I quickly parked my car, got out and went inside, to see Molly and Michael. They didn't look happy.

"Honey, can we talk to you?"

I nodded, feeling a bit worried.

"We would like to adopt you. We already talked with your biological parents about it. They didn't care, and pretended to not know you. But still, you're considered their daughter. So the only way to make this work, is to call up an attorney, which we did. And we're gone to court, to get full guardianship of you. We want to know, how you feel about all this. How would you feel about coming into our family? You and your daughter!"

I felt the water works come on, as I fanned my eyes. "I'd love to. You guys loved me, and took care of me for like five years now. I wouldn't want to part with any of you."

"We'll need you to come to court with us."

"When?"

"Tomorrow."

I nodded. "I want to look nice. Do you have any dresses?"

"Of course! Come here!" She took my hand and guided me to her room. "I'll never get back into this! Why don't you try it on?"

I nodded and tried it on. It was a bit big on me.

"Ooh, it's a bit big. Why don't I take you out to get yourself a nice dress outfit?"

"That'd be lovely, thank you!" Then we went downstairs. "Come here Sophia!" She ran over happily as I lifted her into my arms, sitting her on my hip. "Sweetie, how do you feel about shopping?"

"Fun!"

"Scarlett, I have to take Christy out. When I call you, start dinner?"

"Of course!"

"Come on dear!" She guided me into her car and she buckled Sophia in the car booster seat. Then she drove towards this clothing store, and I saw Rosalie and Alice.

That's when I stiffened. I stayed quiet, and found dress pants, a cute blouse and a vest. I went into the dressing room to try it on, then walked out. Of course when I spoke, they heard me, and followed the direction my voice came from. "Molly, what do you think?" I gave one spin and she smiled.

"Perfect! Do you have any heels?"

"No."

"Then what are we waiting for! I need to get you a pair!"

"Oh please don't. You don't have to."

"Nonsense!"

Then my hand throbbed again and swelled.

"Honey, your hands swollen, what'd you do?"

"Oh umm, I have carpal tunnel syndrome."

"For how long have you had it?"

"Several years!"

"And you never done anything to correct it?"

I shrugged.

"You should get surgery done."

"No, no surgery." Then Rose walked over.

"Christy, I thought that was you I heard!"

I nodded.

"Well hello again Sophia!"

She smiled and waved, yawning.

"Ok Christy, get that off so I can buy it for ya!"

I laughed and went to get it off, putting my regular stuff back on. I came out and saw that Sophia fell asleep. "I'll take her Molly." I gently, lifted her and held her in my arms, placing her gentle little head on my left shoulder. "I'm sorry I left earlier Rose."

"No don't worry about it! Esme told me you had to go."

I nodded.

Then Molly came back. "Ready?"

"Yeah. Bye Rose." I hugged her and nodded towards Alice, then left. We left the store and went to payless, where she bought me a pair of heels.

Then we went back to the house as she was on her cell. When I went in, I sat down on the couch, and went to sleep. It wasn't long, before I was being woken up by Scarlett, with Sophia on her back.

"Hey sleepyhead, it's time for dinner!"

"Five more minutes." I slung my arm across my eyes when I felt weight on my stomach. I looked and saw Sophia. "Ok I'm coming!" I tickled her and she laughed. But then I lifted her up, and we went into the kitchen. She sat next to me and I was served with chicken parmesan and green beans. But Sophia picked at them, making disgusting faces. "Honey, eat your vegetable!" She shook her head and I face palmed. "They're really good! Watch!" I picked up a green bean, put it in my mouth, chewed then swallowed. She took one in her mouth, and she ate it. "Good girl!" She smiled with everyone else.

"And, I have pumpkin pie for desert!"

"Yum! You hear that hun? If you eat your chicken parm and your vegetable, you get to have desert tonight!"

She continued to eat her meal and yawned.

"Good isn't it?"

She nodded. But then she yawned again and climbed off the chair. She went up the steps and I quickly followed, as I saw her try to turn the bathwater on herself.

"Turn the cold water on first, then you can switch over to warm!"

So she did that and she closed the door making me laugh a bit. My baby girl's growing up, right in front of my eyes. But she bathed, and I put a towel in there. It wasn't long before she came out with the towel around herself.

"Your pajama's are on your bed!"

She nodded and went into the bedroom as I quickly showered.

I was so tired, and ready for tomorrow. When done, I went to sleep, and got dressed when the next day came.
