"Hey sweetie." Jules whispered as she lifted Carly into her arms. "How's my little girl this morning?" As the baby crawled to her side and Jules rocked her gently, she smiled, "I love you so much sweet pea."
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Sam groaned as he walked into Carly's room.
Jules giggled as she turned around, "You looked tired."
"I was not tired."
"Yes you were."
"Oh hush." He sniped as he kissed her gently. "How's our little girl this morning?"
"She's good—How's my man?"
"Awesome as always. What do you want for breakfast?"
"Hmm. I don't know—Do we have work today?"
"Nope—But—." Sam spoke as he was interrupted by Sydney screaming and crying, "Go—."
Jules nodded and handed him Carly as she ran upstairs. "Sydney what's wrong?"
"I don't want to go to a different family!" She cried as she had just woken up from a bad dream.
"Aw Sydney, don't cry sweetie." She sat down next to her and pulled her into her lap. "Did you have a bad dream?"
"Mhmm. I had to go to a different family and they made me go back to my parents and they hurt me."
Jules kissed her forehead and rocked her gently, "Listen, Sam and I were talking—a few nights ago."
"Hmm?"
"And we were just wondering—How you would feel about becoming part of our family?"
"What? Like you and Sam be my new parents?"
Jules smiled, "Mhmm."
"I could call you Mommy?"
"Yes, you could call me Mommy."
Sydney climbed out of her arms, giggling as she pressed both of her little hands on the sides of Jules' cheeks and kissed her. "Mommy!" She squealed as she fell back into her arms. "So that's a yes?"
"Mhmm! I have a new family!"
"You sure do sweet pea. We love you so much and everyone said they would love to have you as part of the family."
"Yay! I have a new family! Come on Mommy, let's go tell Daddy!" Jules giggled as Sydney jumped down and jerked Jules' hand, leading her downstairs. "Sam! You're going to be my Daddy!" Sam smiled as he lifted her to his hip. "I'm so happy I get to be your daddy too!" Sydney laid her head on his shoulder, "And Jules is my new Mommy!" Sam chuckled as she slid down to the floor and hugged Jules' leg.
"Well Jules—Should we make it official today?"
"I already got the adoption forms—We can do it today if you like, Sydney?"
"Yes! Yes! Please!?" Sydney danced around as Sam nodded, "Okay—Okay!"
That was when Jules smiled and went upstairs to tell Jessica who was lying in bed watching tv. "You're going to have another sister." She whispered as she stood in the doorway.
"Oh Come on! When will you two learn what birth control is!?"
Jules laughed and shook her head, "No—I'm not pregnant. We're keeping Sydney."
"Okay! Phew! For a second there I was afraid we were going to have to deal with yet another rugrat. I love Sydney. I think she'll be a great addition to the family."
"Me too—So, how are you feeling?"
"Im not really sure. I think its just my head though. Its like I want this over with, but I'm scared out of my mind."
"Don't be scared—Its exciting. Sure it feels like your insides are being ripped out, but when you get to hold that little boy in your arms, its going to all set in that you get to raise him and love him more than anything in the world."
Jessica nodded, "I guess you're right."
"Yep, now do you want to come with us to get all these forms signed off to adopt Sydney?"
She looked around for a moment, "Sure. I aint got nothing better to do but sit here and worry."
"Okay sweetie, we're leaving in about half an hour—just come down when you're ready."
The excitement everyone showed as they came out of the social worker's office downtown was extreme. "You're our newest little girl now." Jules whispered as she carried Sydney on her hip and Sam carried Carly, followed by Jessica who walked closely, excited for her new sister.
"How about we head home and just settle down for the day?" Sam proposed as they all got in the car. "Or we could finish setting up the other stuff for the baby?"
Jessica nodded, "I'd like that."
After an entire day of Sydney climbing on everyone, telling them how happy she was that she was finally part of the family, and finishing putting together the things for the baby in one side of Jessica's room, the night ended early around 9 pm.
"So sweetie, how was your first day as a Braddock?" Jules whispered as she tucked Sydney into bed.
"It was amazing Mommy, I just cant believe that your actually my mom now!"
"I'm so happy to be your Mommy. You're such a wonderful little girl and I can't wait to watch you grow up to be a young lady."
Sydney smiled and reached up to hug her, "Nighty-night mommy."
"Goodnight Sweetie." She spoke softly, dimming the light and leaving the room as her small tv flickered with the volume low.
She continued to make her nightly rounds, stopping at Jessica's room last. "Jessica?" She whispered as she saw her sitting up in bed with tears running down her cheeks. "Jessica—Sweetie—." Jules ran over to her bed and sat down next to her.
"Mom—I think—I think the baby's coming." She cried as Jules hugged her tightly, feeling her heart racing as she kissed her hair.
Another short chapter. Man, I'm really ending this story badly. I just really have no more ideas that I can end within the last 4 chapters. Bahahaha.
