Temporary Home- Carrie Underwood

Summary- Renee is a single mom of one, Bella. When she finally finds a job, she notices her six-year-old daughter is lonely because Renee is always working so she decides to adopt a son her age to keep her company. –Character Deaths included. Edward POV-

I am six, for as long as I can remember I was alone. Not that I mind, I always did prefer being lonely, if the people in my life never stayed. I wouldn't want to be close to a person that I would only get to be with for a few weeks of months. You know why? Its because my parents died when I was two. I was sent to an orphanage where they give me foster homes.

Now I was waiting in the orphanage office to wait for my new 'mom and dad', so we could go to a house that would never be home.

Then they came in. They all looked rather nice, they all were.

We didn't say much; I just listened to the radio play songs. When Temporary Home by Carrie Underwood came on I wanted to laugh at how much it was like me, the first part anyways.

One day after school my 'mom' asked me something.

"So, Edward do you like this place?"

I smiled slightly and said, "This is my temporary home, its not where I belong. Just windows and rooms that I'm passing through. This is just a stop to where I'm going. I am not afraid because I know this is my temporary home"

Renee POV-

I'm only twenty-four. I'm young, single and with a six year old daughter. I got pregnant when I was eighteen and had her, then my boyfriend, Charlie left me with her. Now, I am living in a halfway house, but it will never be a home.

I need a little help, I got no where to go. I'm looking for a job, to pay for our rent, to feed my child, Bella and myself.

I watched my little beautiful angel crawl into my arms at night and asked "Mommy when are we moving? I don't like it here" she whispered, before coughing at how dusty the disgusting place is.

I patted her back soothingly and said "Bella, Someday, we'll find a place here in this world."

She looked up at me her eyes brimmed with tears. It was a heart breaking sight.

"Sweetie, This is our temporary home, its not where we belong. It's just windows and rooms that we're passing through. This is just a stop to where we're going. We aren't afraid because we know this is my temporary home" I said lovingly, cradling her in my arms. I kissed her hair once and saw her relax and fall asleep.

I went to the building where I was supposed to get my job interview. I was going to be a teacher, or at least a teacher's assistant.

Mr. Greene was the principle and the head of the board of education for Forks, Washington. The interview went well, and he said he would get back to me in three days.

I looked at the job brochure, it paid pretty well, I could move to a better house in a matter of months, and I would still have a lot of extra. I could pay the hospital bill for my father, Phil Dwyer. He is at the deathly age of 87.

Three days later I got a call for Mr. Greene. Bella was still at school.

"Hello?" I asked

"Hello. Is this Ms. Renee Dwyer?" he asked

"Yes, this is she" I said

"I looked into your Résumé-my heart clenched- and decided- I was crossing my fingers now- you are perfect for the job-YES!- if you accept please come to my office to sign your contract." He said

"Okay, I'll be there" I said and he hung up.

I smiled from ear to ear.

Now we are living in a house with two bedrooms. Bella had a rather big one that could fit two people and I had the master bedroom with a walk in closet and an attached bathroom. I paid the bills, paid for my father and still had a lot of money. A year ago this life was my dream and now, I have bigger ones. I will reach them with my beautiful daughter.

One day my little angel came up to me when I got home from work. My baby was growing up, she is now an eight-year-old!

"Mom, I'm lonely! I want somebody to be with when your not here." She whined. I don't blame her. I'm always at meetings and teaching. Maybe having a sibling would be nice. I did have the money to take care of and some for the adopting.

"Sweetie do you want a boy or a girl? What age?" I asked

"Boy! Oh and same age as me" she said. She always was the little tomboy when she wanted to be.

I searched online for adoption centers in our community and found one called Foster Becomes Forever. This one is if we foster them first and the child likes it we can adopt them forever. I looked through the profiles with Bella and decided to try out Edward, his story was just too sad.

I gave the person a call the next day and Edward was now a part of our family for now. They gave us a week and a half.

Bella and me went to the office three weeks later after decorating the other half of Bella's room. We walked into the door and saw Edward standing next to a elderly woman.

Edward POV-

I was changing houses again. Now the people says I could chose to move or chose to keep living with the people. I was going to have a sister, mother, but no father. Well, that's new.

They walked in and I saw a very pretty girl that looked my age. I looked up and saw a young woman, no older than thirty. The girl had brown hair that went to her waist and pretty sparkly eyes. The older person looked a lot like her except she didn't have the same hair color or eye color. They looked nice.

They talked for a few minutes and I kept playing with the handle of my suitcase.

Then, they took me to their home and we talked. It was really fun. I like them, especially Bella. She's shy though. I share a room with her.

One day, Renee took me to see her dad, who was very sick. From the minute I saw him I loved him. He is so funny and nice. We kept visiting him when one day his heart rate slowed down.

We were there first and then it started to crowd with a lot of people there that he loved. They were all crying. Then he said, "Don't cry for me, this is my temporary home, it's not where I belong. It's just windows and rooms that we're passing through; this is just a start to where I'm going. I'll see you all someday."

Then more people started crying and he said weakly "I can see god's face". Bella and Renee were sobbing now. Bella cried on my shoulder and I soothed her back, even though I was crying too.

Then, the beeping from the heart rate machine stopped and the line froze. He was gone.

He may be gone, but we still have each other; forever family.

Awwww! I would love more song suggestions and reviews! :]
