Chapter 34! =DD

Maryse's POV

I yawned, stretching as I slowly got out of the bed and made my way downstairs to Mike. I saw him fast a sleep on the couch. I rolled my eyes with a smile, shaking him until he woke up. He blinked a couple times before sitting up.

"Come on Mike, we're getting a call from that fireman soon. I want you to actually be awake when he calls." I said, grabbing him a cup of coffee.

"Thanks." He said in a sleepy tone, taking a sip.

"You're welcome." I said, walking over to the fridge. "Want anything?" I asked.

"Nahh. I'm not very hungry."

"Me neither." I agreed, flopping down next to him. Mike grabbed his phone, staring at it and concentrating. I giggled, kissing his cheek so he'd look at me. "What're you doing?" I asked.

"I'm trying to make it-"

RIING!

"Ahh, it worked." He said with a satisfied smirk. I arched an eyebrow at him, which he ignored as he flipped open the phone. "Hello?"

"Put it on speaker!" I whisper yelled.

"Okay, just a sec." Mike pressed the speaker button, and the fireman's voice was heard loud and clear.

"We have come to a conclusion. We will be coming by to take Trinity to an orphanage."

"AND ORPHANAGE?" I screamed.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Whoa, hold it, why an orphanage?" Mike asked annoyed but calm.

"That way she can relate to the other's there. And not to mention she can get adopted into a good family who can't have kids, or just want to help them out."

"Uh, no. There is no way Trinity is going into an orphanage. What if the people that want to adopt-" I started but was interrupted.

"IF they adopt." The fireman interrupted.

I rolled my eyes. "Even worse! Now as I was saying before I was very rudely interrupted, what if the people who want to adopt her have a terrible life? They could be drug addicts, or alcoholics, or just poor. And what if they're just some sick perverts like her father! I will NOT let Trinity take that risk."

"Well sorry but there's nothing you can do now."

After about a minute of frustrating silence, Mike spoke up. "Well what if, you know, WE were to adopt her?" He asked. I let my mouth hang loose.

"What?" I asked, in complete shock.

"Yeah, I mean if you want." He said.

"Duhh I want!" I screamed, hugging him tight.

"Okay, then it's settled. If you guys could go to the orphanage to sign the forms, you're good to go."

"YAY! Okay, talk to you never." I said, hanging up the phone and kissing Mike. "Uh, this is great!" I cheered.

"It's not all fun and games though Maryse. You do realize how much more bills we have to pay now that we have Trinity?" Mike asked.

"Yes, but that's not a problem. I can get my dad-"

"Maryse, we can't rely on our parents to pay for everything. One day Trinity will think that too, and we'd have to ask our parents to support her then as well. We need to make our own money."

"Okay, I understand... What if I... Went back to school in the fall? I'm supposed to be going to University anyway."

"Okay, that sounds great. I'm thinking about school too. I have to go back to my dad's in the fall, but I can go to wherever you are."

"Oh Mike. Then would you be ready to move to LA?" I asked.

"Yes."

"Well too bad. I live in Miami." I teased and he laughed. I got him good. Smirking, I changed the subject. "Mike, we'll go to that place after lunch, k?"

"Okay, but why?"

I got up and started to walk upstairs. "I need to make sure Trinity is okay with it. Not to mention our own parents."

"Oh damn, okay, I'm gonna ask my mom." Mike said, following me upstairs, but going to his mom's room. I walked into Mike's room, and found Trinity watching TV.

"Hey darlin', I have to talk to you." I said in french, sitting next to her.

"You guys are adopting me, I know." Trinity said in perfect english, watching TV with a blank face.

"Whoa, when did you learn english?" I asked.

"It's not hard. I've known it since I was 6. My mom used to say it would come in handy."

"Okay, then does that mean you were eavesdropping on our conversation?" I asked, tapping my foot.

She blinked, blankly saying, "Do you know how loud you are?"

I laughed, hugging her. "You're so funny." I said, pulling away and taking a look at her clothes. "Hey, do you want to wear some of my clothes? The ones you're wearing are burnt." She shrugged, nodding her head. "Okay, you can take anything out of my suit case. But be sure to be careful, I don't want anything to be broken."

"Okay, thanks Maryse." She said, getting up and taking a look through my suitcase.

"Mikey and I will be at the adoption place to make it official, okay?" I asked, walking to the door.

"Okay." She said blankly again.

"Well food's in the kitchen, obviously. Mike's mom is in her room, and if you need anything," I paused, handing her my phone. "Call Mike."

"Thanks, Maryse." She said, taking a deep breath.

"Okay, see you soon." I waved and headed downstairs, where Mike was waiting. "So, what did your mom say?" I asked, giving him a hug.

"She said she doesn't think we're ready, I mean, we've only been together for almost a month. But she approves, because she understands that if we didn't, Trinity would be in a worse situation. So she supports the idea." Mike said, taking out his keys as we got into his car.

"Okay, that's good. I gave Trinity my phone in case she needed to reach us."

"Okay."

We were a little silent for a while, until he broke it.

"Do you think we're ready to adopt a nine year old?" He asked.

"Well, yeah. I mean we've gotten to know her before this happened. So she's already like my little sister. What about you?"

"Yes. I think our relationship is strong enough."

"Okay then." I said with a smile as we parked at the adoption place. We quickly made our way in, telling the receptionist who we were adopting and stuff. He told us to sit down in the chairs to the left, handing us papers that needed to be signed.

"Well, this seems easy enough." Mike said, reading the paper. I nodded, signing my name on it, as Mike did the same.

"Okay, ready to go." I said, taking the paper and handing it to the receptionist to check it out.

"Looks good. It is official, you can go now." He said, looking it over.

"Okay, thanks!" I thanked, rushing to get out. Once we were, Mike spun me around and I laughed. "Okay, too overjoyed I think." I said with a smile, getting into his car.

"Yeah, maybe a little." Mike replied.

We quickly made it back to the house as fast as we could, running inside the house.

"Trinity, it's official! I am now your adoptive parent!" I called, rushing upstairs with Mike behind me. We got into Mike's room and Trinity was sitting on the couch with a blank look although you could tell she'd been crying. I pulled her into a hug, but she just stayed blank. Well I guess it's still shock from losing her mom and brother. I shivered thinking about that image.

"Wanna go to sleep?" I asked, and she nodded. I picked her up and tucked her in bed, walking out with Mike afterwards.

"What would I do without you?" Mike asked.

"Mmm, probably look around the world to try and find me." I giggled, and he smiled, kissing me.

"Suree." He said sarcastically.

"Shut up." I said with a laugh, pulling him into another kiss.

I hope you guys liked it! Review please!
