The Phone Call
Becoming Parents Chapter 2
Note:It is invigorating to have a break from writing Seussical and Annie stories. This is my first Legally Blonde story and I hope everyone enjoys it. Jazz is Shirly Marie Gold's OC. We own no characters from Legally Blonde.
The phone rang at around 10:00 at Elle and Emmet's house.
"Who would be calling this late?"Elle shot a confused look at her husband .
Emmett shrugged and reached for the receiver. "Good evening, you're reached the home of Elle& Emmett Forrest."
"Mr. Forrest, we have your niece in custody here at the station."
"What?!"
"Would you like to talk to her?"
"Most definitely."
"Uncle Emmett?"
"Sweetheart, what happened?"
"Some dumb drunk driver hit us. Mom & Dad are dead."
"We'll be right down there to get you all right? Hang tight."
"Ok."
Within 10 minutes Elle & Emmett were at the police station. Jazz ran to her uncle and embraced him. She was convulsing in sobs.
"My stomach is so sick Uncle Emmett. There was so much blood everywhere. I just can't believe Mom & Dad are gone!"
"We're so glad you're okay honey." Elle said as she joined Emmett in the embrace. Jazz winced as she ran her hand through her hair.
The officer handed Emmett Jazz's purse and jacket. "This is all she came here with. You"llhave to go your brother's house in the morning to pick up the rest of her things. You'll have full custody of her from now on."
The next morning Elle took Jazz back to her parent's house to help her gather her belongings. It took them three hours to totally clean her drawers out.
"This doesn't seem right at all." Jazz whispered as she burst into tears.
"It's okay to cry sweetheart, just let it all out." Elle took her niece into her arms and rocked her back and forth.
"That driver took the best two people ever away from me. Oh, Aunt Elle I miss them so much."
"So do I."
