By CollegeStar20!

This is a story about how Rachel and Victorie met each other and how Rachel became her mother. It will be in Victorie's and Rachel's POV at times.

Enjoy.

With Rachel in her POV.

Was it the best idea to change my life by planning an adopion? sure it was because I was giving up my whole teenage life to become a mom that I'm still not sure I can handle! But just hearing Victorie calling me mommy or mama makes my heart skip a beat once and awhile.

"Mom I want to go along with planning to adopt Victorie if that's alright with you!" My mom stares at me smiling sincerely.

"I'm glad you finally figured out that your ready to take that next step to legally became Victorie's mom, it's going to take alot of work but I think if we meet up wuth Debby she can tell us what we have to do next!" I nod smiling and she hugs me with tears coming down her face.

"I'm so proud of you Rachel, you know that it's not going to be easy but I'm going to help you and dad will do everything in his power to make sure you get her!" I nod.

"I just hope she agrees to becoming my daughter because I don't want to lose her ever in my life mom!" She nods holding me close.

"Grandma where is mommy?" We both hear Victorie from outside of the room and we will back smiling at each other.

"I think it's time you take another big step and ask my soon to be legally granddaughter that big question!" I frown freaking out a little.

I stare at my mom and she nods whispering to me that I can do this and if I needed to do without anybody around then I could do it. I nod saying good night.

I open the door and see my little angel standing there with tears coming down her face. "Hey baby what's wrong?" I asked with concern.

"I had a nightmare and I woke up that you weren't there!" I hate that she's still having nightmares of her past. I pick her up and bring her to our room. I close the door behind us and we get on the bed and I lay down. "Can I lay close to you?" I nod holding her close and I start singing to her.

Look, my eyes are dry
The gift was ours to borrow
Oh, it's as if we always knew
And I won't forget what I did for love
What I did for love.

Gone...
Love is never gone
As we travel on
Love's what we'll remember.

She stares at me shocked then she starts closing her eyes as I sing and I run my hands through her long naturally curly brunette hair.

Kiss today goodbye
And point me toward tomorrow
We did what we had to do
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love

What I did for love
What I did for love.

I would do anything for Victorie, I will fight to make her mine for the rest of my life and her birth parents seem think their going to take her little angel away from her, then they will have to get through Rachel Barbra Berry with a huge fight because I don't back down.

Love is never gone
As we travel on
Love's what we'll remember.

Kiss today goodbye
And point me toward tomorrow
Oh, We did what we had to do
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love
What I did for love.

I kiss her forehead finishing the last part of the song and I can hear her soft breathing.

"What I did for love.

I cover both of us and fall asleep with my little angel in my arms wanting her close to me.

The next day with Victorie and Rachel.

Rachel held onto her little angel's hand as they walked to Central park but she felt Victorie's squirming hand as they walked to a bench but Victorie was pulling away from her squealing and Rachel was giving her a concern look.

"Baby girl stop this and tell me what's wrong!" She whimpers and points to the bench and Rachel's eyes widen remembering why she's so scared.

"Oh sweetie I'm not leaving you alone on any of these park benches alright,come on lets sit on the grass!" She nods and they walk to the grass and sit.

"Listen Victorie what happened in your past isn't going to happen again, so that bench is just a bench and it's where people sit, we will work on that but I need to ask you something really serious alright?" She nods staring at her foster mom wondering what she's going to ask.

"You know I became your foster mom and I love it very much but I was wondering if you thought about me legally becoming your mom!" Rachel says softly.

Victorie stared at her with tears in her eyes and Rachel was worried and wiped her tears away.

"Baby girl please tell me what's wrong!" Victorie jumped on Rachel making her laugh and Victorie holds onto her and Rachel giggles hugging her.

"I really want you to be my mom can you please do that mama?" Rachel felt tears forming in her eyes hearing that Victorie wants her to be her daughter.

"Alright I will do the best I can to make sure you become my daughter and we have to go to court alright, are you ready to talk to a judge infront of me and everybody else?" Victorie nods smiling brightly and hugs her and kisses her cheek. Rachel smiles loving her little girl.

Little did they know that Carlia and Mira were standing on the other side of the park watching them with sadness.

"She's got a new family that wants her Carlia, we made the right choice and look how happy she looks!" Mira says staring at her sister as she laughed with Rachel who she doesn't know. Carlia stared at her baby sister and was glad she was enjoying her life.

"We need to go back to the home since our new parents are picking us up later and were moving to Lima Ohio Mira, she's in good hands now!"

Mira nods and they walk past Victorie and Rachel standing there for a second! Rachel saw a stern look on her little Angel's face and turned to see two girls staring at them and she held Victorie close giving them a slight smile and they walk off glancing back at there little sister looking so happy.

"We better see her again Carlia or I will never forgive you!" Mira says firmly as they walk off and Carlia knew that her sister would never forgive her for this.

Rachel wondered who those girls were staring at her soon to be daughter and it looked like Victorie knew them.

"Did you know them sweetie?" Rachel asked her favorite little girl and Victorie stared at Rachel and shook her head.

"No I don't know them and I don't ever plan to know those girls!" She replied sternly never wanting to know Carlia and Mira Miller ever again.

They spent the rest of the day having fun in the park before going back to the house to get ready to talk to Debbby the case worker.
