Gabriela Dawson's POV
"What did he want to talk to you about?" Brett asked when I walked over.
"Naia's foster parents are dead." I said, still in shock.
Nobody spoke for a moment.
"What happened?" Brett asked, completely in shock, just like how I was.
"Must have gotten mad that Naia wasn't home. Mr. Samual took out a gun and was going to shoot the kids but Mrs. Samual jumped in front and he shot her instead. Then he turned and shot himself instead of the kids." I said, sitting down at the table with them.
"What's gonna happen to the kids now?" Stella asked.
"Thomas and Shane are going to a foster family up north a little bit and Ellie's going to one in North Utica." I replied, remembering the information Antonio had told me.
"Wow." Brett said and shook her head, "That's crazy stuff."
"Could you drive me back to my apartment?" I asked Brett.
"Yeah, of course. I was going to call it a night anyways." Brett said and we said bye to Stella before leaving.
"Straight to bed." Brett told me as she dropped me off. I nodded and waved to her before entering the apartment. I went up to my floor and unlocked the door.
"I'm home Matt!" I called out. I went into the kitchen and found Matt sitting at the table reading a newspaper.
"Hey Gabby." He said and got up. Matt wrapped me on a hug and we kissed.
"You won't believe what I found out." I told him when we broke apart.
"What's that?" Matt asked as I took a seat across from him.
"Naia's foster parents are dead." I said, it was finally sinking in and repeating it for the second time now.
"What? How?" Matt asked, shock covering his face.
"Mr. Samual was furious and was going to shoot the children. Mrs. Samual jumped in front and took the bullet. Mr. Samual then killed himself." I explained.
"What's gonna happen with the kids?" Matt asked. I almost wanted to laugh because that's exactly what I had asked along with Brett and Stella.
"They all have foster families up north except Naia. She's currently in the hospital right now and their hoping when she gets out, there'll a family ready for her." I said.
"Oh." Matt said.
"Matt this got me thinking." I started.
"Absolutely." Matt said.
"Matt, I didn't even say what I was going to say." I said.
Matt got up and wrapped me into a bear hug.
"Absolutely we can foster Naia." Matt said and kissed me on the lips.
"Is that better?" He smiled.
I nodded. "I'm so happy you said yes."
