Bianca POV~
*Doorbell rings*
I Look at the tv screen to see Bigbird visiting Lora.
Bigbird: Lora what's the matter? Why the long face?
Lora: Oh, big bird, I don't know what to do anymore. I agreed to a friend that I watch her two children while she was at the hospital to get better, but I'm scared.
Bigbird: Well, what's so scary about that?
Lora: I have never taken care of any children before and it is a big responsibility. What if I mess up or worst?
Bigbird: Well, I don't know anything about raising children, but I know that you are a kind and friendly person. You are always willing to help me when I need advice or just a friend to listen to my worries.
Lora: Thanks big bird, but giving advice is not the same as raising children. I wouldn't know where to start.
Bigbird: Hmmm. Oh, I know how about studying!
Lora: Studying? Study what?
Bigbird: How to take care of children, of course. You can also get help from the community when things get too tough. That way you won't feel so alone when taking care of the children.
Lora: Wow! Bigbird that's the best advice and solution I have heard all day.
Bigbird: You are welcome. Sometimes it's better to ask for advice or help when you stuck and don't know what to do.~~
I look away from the tv screen thinking about the conversation that was just played in front of me, thinking how similar. Then I lower my eyes to look at the babies that are focused on the tv and start to think back to my own childhood. The memories of a cold and harsh life that struggled for warmth in an overcrowded foster home. Roaming unwanted hands under my clothing, running away, and living on the streets. Begging for change, shuffling through garbage cans for food, stealing, scoring, and filled with hate.
No, I do not want that kind of life for these babies. I become frustrated with my final decision for these 18lbs of loans. Taking my hand roughly running through my curls with determination and resolve in my eyes.
"Might as well get used to being called mom, oh the horror."
A/n: I'm thinking of moving them to a different house to a more family-friendly location. As for her job, might have her do leave of absence for a while. I know it's been a while and this is short, but Ta-Da!
