Chapter 3

Ally hadn't been feeling well all day, but she had tried to stick it out at school, so that Addison didn't have to come and pick her up. She finally got sent down to the nurse by her English teacher, Mrs. Paulson, who happened to be a germ freak.

Ally counted the squares on the cieling over and over again. 75 on her side of the wall. There was another side, where a boy who was very thin sat and waited for his medication. He looked so lost. He was bald. He must have cancer. Ally thought.

Addison came into the back and stood there for a second, looking at Ally. "Hey hon. How are you feeling?" She asked her.

"Bad...I dont know what's wrong." Ally replied.

"Well, what's wrong?" Addison asked.

"I just coughed a lot and then my throat felt dry." Ally replied.

"Probably something minor, but lets get you home and in bed." Addison signed her out of school and they walked out together. It was funny how the guys checked out Addison.

"Ally has a hot mom." One of them whispered to the other, just loud enough that both could hear it.

Ally laughed along with Addison as they got into the car. "That was funny." Addison remarked.

"Yea." Ally agreed. "But I have to agree with them."

Addison blushed a bit. "Well," she began. "I am just a thirty something mother of two..."

Ally smiled at how addison regarded the girls as hers. She had regarded Addison as her mom ever since she had arrived to town and everyone asked where she had moved from. She said Seattle, because that is where Addison had been working and she had breifly mentioned it to Ally.

Ally got out of the car at home and heated up some soup. "Are you going back to work?" She asked Addison, who was grabbing her lunch from the fridge.

"Depends. Do you want me to stay here with you?" Addison asked.

"Not unless you want to, I am going to probably be sleeping, which is pretty boring to watch." Ally replied. "But I wouldn't mind if you wanted to stay here with me either."

"Okay." Addison replied. "Well, I think I will call work and see how many more patients I have. I dont think I have too many, so I will close up early and hopefully be here soon." She replied.

"Thanks mom." Ally replied. "Ummm...Addison."

"Mom is fine." Addison smiled at the name and looked at Ally very warmly right then. "I'm going to keep you, no matter what. I have already spoken to them about adopting you, and hopefully by Christmas, you will be fully mine."

"Really? You mean it?" Ally asked excitedly.

"I do." Addison replied. Ally hugged her right then, so excited that she wouldn't be leaving Addison.

"Wait, but what about Molly?" Asked Ally.

"Her too, if I can. They told me to work on one at a time, but I told them that you two go everywhere together, that you wont leave her and she wont leave you. So, they are considering it. Like I said, by Christmas."

Ally nodded. "Well, thank you."

"Your very welcome." Addison smiled and then left for work again and Ally took that much needed nap.

Addison found that she didn't have too many more patients for the day, but there was one surprise waiting for her at the office. Mike walked in carrying a bunch of flowers and chocolates. "I missed you." He handed them to her and smiled widely.

"Really?" Addison raised her eyebrows, still confused by him. She wondered if he was genuine or not.

"Really." He smiled widely.

"I got the test results." Addison told him.

"And?" He asked, curious to have it confirmed what he already knew.

"Well, lets go find out together." Addison led him back to the lab and she opened the file.

"Its a match for both girls." Addison told him.

He smiled and nodded. "Can I still date you?" He asked.

Addison laughed. "Of course you can." She replied. "But you have to ask me out on a date first."

"I left the ball in your court." He replied.

"Touche!" She smiled and grabbed her purse, and they both headed out the front door.

"I would like to do dinner." Mike told her. "How about tomorrow, just you and me?" He asked.

"Sounds great." Addison replied. "And the girls?"

"Well, I was thinking that maybe this weekend we could all go someplace fun, I dont know, maybe an arcade or something?"

"Yea, I think that they would like that." Addison replied.

"Great. Well, I will see you tomorrow night." Mike smiled and went to his car and Addison went to hers too. She stared at the flowers as she set them in the passenger seat. I am dating the father of my children...haha! That was the thought going through her mind right then.

As she entered the house, Ally wanted to know right away who the flowers were from. "Mike right?" She asked.

Addison nodded, a half smile on her face. "Yes, they are from Mike. We have a date tomorrow night and then this weekend, we will all go to an arcade together."

"Ohhh...Sounds like fun!" Ally was feeling way better. Her cough was gone and she was ready for school the next day.

"Is your sister home?" Addison asked.

"Yea. She and the girl from next door, Rachel, they are playing dolls out front, but both Rachel's mom and I have been watching them. It's their dolls tea party."

"Ah." Addison walked over and looked at the girls through the window. Rachel's mom waved to her. The woman was more cheery than any other woman Addison had ever seen in New York.

"Hello!" The woman, who had blonde hair, blue eyes, and was wearing a white shirt and tan capri pants, came and introduced herself. "I am Margot, Rachel's mom." She extended her hand to Addison.

"Addison, Molly's mom." She replied, shaking Margot's hand.

"Well, our girls get along great. They both just love their dolls..." Margot babbled on and on and Addison pretended to be listening. Finally, it started getting dark and everyone came inside.

"Did you have a good tea party?" Addison asked Molly.

"Yea, it was fun." Molly replied. "Ally says you want to 'dopt us?"

"Yes I do." Addison replied. "If thats okay with you?"

"Of course. As long as you won't be having any babies, that happend to our foster mom two times ago, and then we got put back in the system." Molly went into the kitchen and ate a cookie.

Addison smiled. "Dont worry, you two are my only two."

Molly lit up at that and sat down next to Addison on the sofa. "Thats good." She replied, innocent to the fact that Addison couldn't have children of her own, but that if she could, she probably would have. Addison kissed the top of Molly's head, and the little girl turned on the TV. "Watch this with me!" Molly sat in a trance as she watched the DISNEY channel. Addison tried as best she could to stay awake, but with no luck. She fell asleep just as Zack and Cody were arguing about something random...again...on the TV.

"She doesn't snore." Molly commented about Addison.

"No she doesn't." Ally replied.

The two girls were watching Addison sleep. She was laying one way and her feet were still on the ground. It was funny really, and the girls found it fascinating that anyone could sleep in such an awkward position.

Addison slowly opened her eyes and shouted "BOO!" scaring both girls.

Molly's eyes got wide and she didn't laugh, but Ally did. She couldn't stop laughing. Addison hugged Molly and they went to the kitchen for some food. "So, this weekend we are going to an arcade!" Ally announced.

"An arcade? Can we go to Chucky Cheese?" Molly asked.

"Maybe. We still have to decide." Addison told her.

"Okay!" Molly smiled widely at her and picked what she wanted to eat. After eating it, she begged Addison to read to her in bed. As usual, she started falling asleep early.

Addison slipped away as silently as possible, tucking her in and giving her a peck on the cheek. "Good night honey." She wispered.

"Good night mommy." Came a faint whisper.

Was she getting to attached to these girls? Would the state of New York let her keep them? She hoped so! And what about Mike? Would he want to keep the three of them two? More or less, would they be right for each other?
