***Note*** Thanks, to those who reviewed. I didn't mean for it to be
confusing, but I wanted to start in the middle of my characters' lives
rather than the beginning. I know Sophie isn't able to have children, Leah
and Ivy are adopted. I planned to write about that in a different part of
the story, but I decided to put it in this chapter. Once again thanks and
happy reading!
1 -The Next Day-
Leah looked out the window of the school bus. She thought about yesterday.
-flashback-
She had told Ivy to go home without her, because she wanted to say goodbye to Ethan. She met Ethan in their special spot, the clearing in the woods where they had their first kiss. Leah had pushed Ethan on the ground, and they were making out.
"I have special present for you," Leah grinned
"Anything from you would be special," Ethan said as he gave her a quick kiss.
"Here," she pulled off her shirt and bathing suit top at the same time.
"I like," was all Ethan could say. He processed to feel her all over. Then it happened a figure appeared out of no where.
-end of flashback-
"Leah, get a grip. Who ever it was didn't see you. If they did, so what, Mom and Dad will never believe it was really you," Leah told herself.
"Hey Leah, are you okay you've been acting weird all morning," the voice of Leah best friend and seat mate interrupted Leah's thoughts.
"Yeah, I'm fine Maggie. Do you want to play BS?"
"Sure, Brett and Eric can play too," Maggie answered.
At the sound of their names Brett Adams and Eric Slate turned around. Brett had been Maggie's boyfriend in middle school, but now they were just good friends. Eric was a different story. He had a thing for Leah since 9th grade. Leah thought Eric was all right, until she met Ethan. The four some began to play an intense game of BS.
-the back of the bus-
"Ivy did you bring it?" Tara Field asked.
"Of coarse. Did you think old Ivy wouldn't come through for you?"
"I never thought that Ives," Nick Briggs declared, putting his had over his heart.
"Shut up," Grant Way punched Nick in the arm.
"Grant please no fighting, you know what Mr. King thinks about fighting and horse play," Mandy Berg said sarcastically.
The group bursts out into a fit of laughter.
-Later that night, at the Scarbrow house-
"I don't remember when the house was ever this quite," Sophie told her husband, as they sat together in the living room.
"I do, the day Mrs. Young called from the adoption agency. She told us how we had finally been approved, and that we could start looking for our child. We spent all day, talking about if we wanted a boy or a girl. In the car on the way up, we decided on a baby boy. But when Mrs. Young told us about the twin 13-month old girls, we completely changed our minds. They were beautiful, and when we went a saw the twins the next day, we knew those were our daughters," Peter said with a smile.
"I love that story, I don't know if I will ever have a more perfect memory," Sophie whispered as she leaned her head against his body.
"Our family is perfect," Peter said looking at his wife.
