As we reached the first floor I heard someone scream my name from outside the elevator. "Sina, is it really you, the foster's sent you back that quickly, isn't that a new record?" It was Nicki, she was a kid I had known since she came to teh orphanage. She was twelve now and it didn't look good for her.

"Nicki, stop acting like a bafoon and come here and give me a hug." I ordered exiting the elevator with the other three and running up to her and embracing her.

She started giggling and pulled away slightly. "So why are you here, i was you just a few days ago."

I looked behind me to where Chad and Gail were talking, and Edward was watching me, still smiling. "I've been claimed."

She gasped, "NO way, you've be adopted, at your age, that's like unheard of."

"It is not, but yeah, see that man, he and his family just got a new member." I said gestering to Edward, he waved over to us and i waved back. "Aren't you happy for me?" I asked noticing that her face was falling.

"No," she said right out loud. "If you leave then who will take care of me, you're my mom." She started crying and i kneeled down to her level and tried to comfort her.

"Hey, shh, hey Nicki, I'm not going to just leave and forget about you." I was rubbing the tears off of her cheeks and holding her close. "You know i'll come visit all the time, I'm only going to be a few hours away."

The agancy was in Springfield Illinios. I could be here in a train ride if i wanted.

"I..I.can't live here without you, you're the only friend i have." She wimpered at me, making me want to cry too. "Don't leave me."

I was torn, I knew it would hurt to leave her here without me, she was like a daughter to me, I mean i had actually raised her. But i needed to get away from here, or i would go insane. I tore myself away from her and held her at arms length away. "Honey, if i'm not back in three weeks, then you have to come for me and make sure i'm not in trouble. You have to promise me that you will be strong for me, Promise me you won't give up on me." Now I was crying.

She sniffled, "I promise. Sina, mommy, please come back soon."

At that she ran off into one of the other rooms and i watched her go, feeling hurt and tired. I turned around to see all three adults staring at me with different looks on their faces. Gail's look was of disinterest, she clearly didn't like shows of emotion. Chad had a knowing look on his face, he knew she would be hurt by my leaving. Edward had a concerned look plastered on his face. I was still crying, and he was worried about me, and I didn't know how to respond to that.

"What was that all about?" asked Edward as I went to rejoin them.

Chad filled him in a little. "That was Nicki, Sina and her are practically inseparable. I think she just heard the news."

I nodded, looking at my feet. "Are you alright sina?" Edward asked with a soft voice.

I lifted my eyes to meet his, "She called me mom." I took a steadying breathe, and continued. "I'll be able to come visit her right?"

"Yes of course you will."

"Good, then I'l ready to leave." At that we got into a cab and headed for the train station.

The ride was nice, I slept for all of it. I hadn't realized that i had been so tired until now. Edward didn't even seem to mind that I had fallen asleep on him when i woke up at the Chicago station. He just lightly nudged me awake and quietly told me we were there. He was definitely a dad.

"Wow, Chicago is pretty." I said looking up at all of the big sky scrappers. "It reminds me of New York, but not so big, I'm glad too, New York was way too big, I got lost once going to school." I told him, recapping on my three months in Queens.

"Where else have you lived?" he asked as we waited for his son to come pick us up.

I smiled and started reciting the list. "Well, i was just living in New Mexico yesterday, um, california, Colorado, Texas, and Florida. Those are just a few though."

He looked towards me then, "How long have you been at the Agency?"

I frowned at this question, It brang back the memory of those days before I was picked up by the police. I had been alone in that apartment building for quite awhile before they found me. "Almost fifteen years, I was three when the police dropped me into their hands."

Before we could say anything else someone shouted to Edward from the street. I was guessing it was his son. I looked around the croud of cars and found a very nice looking V8-powered BMW M3. Ok, it was absolutely gorgeous. "Is that his car?" I asked turning to Edward as we made are way towards the beauty, and my new brother.

"Yes it is, and you can choose a car of your own once you get a lisence." He said smiling at me, I practically exploded with joy, I was going to get my own car!

"I'm guessing this is my new little sister?" asked the man who resembled Edward completely, just a few years younger. This must be the older son.

"You guess right, Henry, this is Sina." He gestured to me and Henry came forward and envoloped me in a bear hug, it felt so nice.
