The adoption process of Mollianne Bryn Jamison is coming along great. Amanda's been approved to adopt, she signed the papers, and set a court date so a judge can finalize everything. Then Mollianne will officially be her daughter.

Meanwhile Mollianne is at school getting ready to leave when a boy walks over to her. He had been watching her for a while and finally gained the courage to approach her.

"H...hi I'm Daniel, but everyone calls me Danny." Daniel introduced

"It's nice to meet you, Danny." Mollianne replied "I'm Mollianne, but everyone calls me Mollie."

Daniel smiled softly, "That's a pretty name for someone as beautiful as you."

"Yeah okay." Mollianne stated awkwardly "I'm just going to go, and just FYI my mom's a cop."

Daniel nodded shocked, "Oh okay. That's nice to know, and I wasn't trying to be weird or scare you or anything." He takes a breath, " It's just I...I like you. I think you're pretty."

"Um okay I'm really flattered and I'm sure you're a nice boy, but I'm not interested at the moment. I have a lot going on in my life right now and I don't want to worry about a boyfriend ruining anything for me." Mollie explained "Not that you would do that, it just certain people that have more power and control than I do. Just uh...tell me again in a few months."

Daniel nodded slowly. He wasn't sure how to tell her he might not be here in a few months. So he simply said, "Alright that makes sense. It was nice meeting you, Mollie."

"Nice meeting you too, Daniel." Mollie replied before she left school and walked home.

Once she arrived home, she walked in the front door.

"Mama! I'm home." Mollie announced

Amanda walked to the living room to greet her daughter, "Hi sweetie, how was school?"

"It was good." Mollie answered "How was work, mama?"

"Work was good. Thanks for asking, sweetie." Amanda stated. Then she added, "So I was approved to adopt and I met with your social worker on my lunch break to sign the paper and set a court date."

Mollie nodded, "When's the court date, mama?"

"March 16." Amanda told the girl

Mollie hugged Amanda, "I'm so excited. Only a month before I'm officially yours, mama. Then no social worker can ever take me away again."

Amanda smiled and hugged Mollie back, "I'm excited too, sweetheart. I already think of you as my daughter. All this paper will do is tell others what I already know and feel."

Mollie looked up at her mama and smiled, "I'm glad you're my mama."

"And I'm proud to have you as my daughter." Amanda added

Hope you enjoy. Comments are greatly appreciated.

Should I keep Scottlynn in this story or write a separate story centered on her?

What do you think of Daniel?
