I wake up in the morning wrapped in my husband. I roll over and lightly kiss his lips and then I roll out of bed and use the restroom.
I go out into the living area and check on the girls in the other room and they are peacefully sleeping so I go ahead and start us some breakfast. After a little while, my husband comes up behind me and snakes his arms around me. "Good morning beautiful. What are we having for breakfast?"
"My favorite. Pancakes and bacon."
"Mmm.. smells good."
I turn around in his arms and give him a sweet kiss. About that time, Holly and Heather emerge from their room. "Hi girls. You like pancakes and bacon?" They look confused. "for breakfast. Have you ever had pancakes and bacon before?"
"No." says Heather.
"You will love it. It's my favorite."
They smile and come sit at the dining table and I plate everyone's food and set it in front of them and sit in my own seat and we eat together. The girls love it.
"We're going to fly home today girls. We're taking a jet and going to Seattle."
They both look up excited. "A jet? We've never been on a jet before."
"You will love it."
They nod and finish eating. "Can we watch television again?"
"Sure. Do whatever you want."
I clean up after breakfast and I go to our room and call Rebecca to let her know that we got the Okay and are heading back to Seattle.
Her phone is disconnected so I send Gibson to check on her.
20 minutes later my phone rings. Gibson.
"Ana Sawyer."
"Ana, she isn't here anymore. She left a note saying that they're your problem now." I shake my head. I can't believe this woman was planning on cutting these wonderful girls out of her life forever.
"Leave a note and tell her that we're headed back to Seattle and thank her for contacting me. Let her know they will be safe now."
"Okay Ana."
I hang up and go shower and get dressed in comfortable clothes and go back out to check on them and Luke has got them playing some kind of game. They are all laughing and enjoying themselves. I lean against the doorway and smile.
I walk out into the room. "when will the jet be ready Luke?"
He looks at his watch. "one hour"
"Everybody needs to get ready to go."
Everyone goes to their room and gets dressed and we pack up our clothes.
We all get in our SUVs and go to the GEH jet and get on board and get situated. I sit between the girls and hold their hands as we ascend. "I was scared my first time too."
Their eyes widen in surprise. "You get scared too?"
"Everyone is scared of something girls. Even adults can be scared."
"Thank you again Ana. Thank you for saving us."
"You're very welcome. I just wished we knew about you two earlier and maybe we could've protected you then."
"You're here now. That's all that matters to us."
"are you girls okay with talking to a professional that can help with your nightmares."
"Can we have a woman? We don't trust men anymore but we do trust Luke now."
"You most certainly can have a woman. I'm glad you trust Luke. He is a good man."
"We trust you too Ana."
"You can trust these other men too. They are here to protect us all. It is their job. And we have nannies for all the kids and you can trust them too. This will be a big change from what you're used to but being safe is worth it."
They nod. Once we are up in the air, Natalia serves us some lunch and we all eat together.
When we finally get home the girls look around in awe of these new surroundings. When we arrive at the house they both gasp. "This is your new home. We have a meadow out back so you have plenty of room to play out here.
You will both have your own rooms unless you prefer to sleep together and we will get you girls some stuff like phones so you can always contact us. You will also get a bunch of new clothes. We will figure out your schooling situation soon and then you girls can go to school and make friends."
They both smile brightly. "We've never had friends. We would like to share a room for now though because I can usually calm Holly if she has a nightmare."
"That's fine. Whatever you want."
We go into the house and we show them around and their mouths are open as they look around in awe. We introduce them to all of our staff.
We show them to their room and ask what their favorite colors are so that they have clothes they like and we can paint their room.
We spend the day out in the meadow with all of the kids and the girls love it. They certainly appreciate everything because they have unfortunately known what it is like to have nothing.
After a long day as a family, we put all the kids to bed and go to bed ourselves. "Take a shower with me Luke? I need you."
"Of course baby." He follows me and we get into the shower together and indulge in hot shower sex and then we get clean and I put on a silk nightie in case I have to wake up to help any of the kids tonight. Luke sleeps in his boxers. He holds me tight and gives me a kiss. "You are doing great with the girls Ana. They are pretty amazing."
"So are you. They told me they trust you. I'm sorry I've been neglecting you but you saw and heard what their life was like before we arrived."
"Baby, you're not neglecting me. We are prioritizing the girls until they adapt and that is a good thing. It proves that you put their needs before your own. It is noble really."
"Fuck Luke. You are amazing and you always know just what to say."
"You are amazing too baby." He kisses me sweetly and pulls me into his chest and holds me tight. "sleep baby." And I drift off to sleep in his strong arms.
The next day, we take the girls shopping and a personal shopper helps us pick out clothes and shoes for them and point us in the direction to find all the things teenagers could need and we get them a bunch of stuff.
We head back home with numerous bags in the back of the SUV that security brings in for us.
We spend the day fixing up the girl's rooms. We decided to go ahead and prepare the other room in case the girls ever want some time apart but as of now, they never knew what it's like to be without each other and the only friends they've had before they came here Are each other. It is understandable that they want to sleep together but they have their own rooms for everything else.
They are absolutely thrilled beyond anything I expected with all the stuff they now have.
2 months later
The girls are the perfect unexpected additions to our family. We were able to have their adoption expedited so we are now their legal guardians and no matter who comes along, no one can take them from us. We hired them both their own security. They aren't too happy about that but we explained to them that it is essential to keep them safe and they finally relented. They are now Heather and Holly Sawyer. They were even happy about that. They said they didn't want to share the same names as Becky.
We finally got them both enrolled in home schooling until they get caught up to their grade levels. We got them tutors to work with them to help them along the way. After that they will go to Kirsten's school. Well the middle school to the school district. Kirsten is still in kindergarten.
The kids all enjoy the company of the girls. They both see a therapist named Brenda as well and they are making great strides to becoming less dependent on each other because they know they are safe with us now. They both started sleeping in their separate rooms and so far it has gone great and the nightmares have subsided.
My Dad and Ella are ecstatic to have 2 more children to consider as grandkids. Dad now wholeheartedly believes that they are my siblings based on their looks. He says they look the same as I did and have some of the same mannerisms that I had at their ages.
We are going ahead with the DNA test though just so we have solid evidence that they are my sisters. No one doubts that they are but we never know when Morton and Carla may get out of jail and we don't want them to try to get their hands on them.
