Hope the twenty-seven people who clicked on the story enjoyed it. But will it kill you to leave a review. Takes less than a minute and you may get a review back if I know any of your stories. I'm just saying lol

Oh and I'm skipping the adoption scene since its pointless to write about something I have zero intelligence on. Know idea how long it'd take so I'm ranging four hours to be safe. Jason may be quirky but I believe he'd make an awesome dad.

Anyway I'm done babbling, here is chapter 2. Also C3 live a few blocks from Mitchie here.

It was almost nine when the young girl woke up. Katie rubbed her eyes and looked around the unfamiliar room.

All the ten year old could remember was running away from the orphanage.

So she did what any child would do, waking up in an unfamiliar place. She screamed. Loudly.

Jason nearly dropped the hot pan he was cooking bacon with on his foot. He put it on the stove, turned off the heat and ran to his room.

"Katherine? Are you all right kid?" he immediately asked. He opened the door and rushed to her. Katie had started crying into her hands but she looked up when he entered.

"J…Jason?" she asked, his name and their meeting coming back to her. He nodded and opened his arms to her.

She jumped into them and sobbed on his shirt. "I'm sorry…I forgot and got scared" she apologized. Jason rubbed her back lovingly.

He sat down and pulled her into his lap. "Don't be sorry, are you all right now?" he asked and she nodded.

He smiled and stood up, lifting her with him. He carried her out and to the kitchen. He put her down and opened the freezer.

"I started breakfast, Nate brought pancakes, French toast and we have a few cereals" he said.

"Nate?"

Jason realized what he said and smiled. "My best friend. I share this apartment with him and my other friend Shane. You ever hear of Connect Three?" he asked and Katie shook her head.

"You have a band? That's pretty cool, I haven't listened to good music since my parents died three years ago" she answered.

"That's actually when I met the guys" he mused. Katie smiled.

"So where are they?" she asked.

"They'll be back tomorrow, Shane won this contest a while ago and he took Nate with him to Florida, I hope they had fun" Jason answered.

"So…what are we having miss Katie?" he asked. His stomach growled and Katie giggled.

"French toast sounds good" she said and Jason nodded. He got out the box from the freezer and placed the frozen squares on two plates.

When they finished and cleaned up, Jason decided to get the adoption out of the way.

First though he needed to get Katie something nice to wear. All the kid had was a duffle bag with two wrinkled shirts and three wrinkled shorts, mixed in with a few undies and socks.

"It was all I had time to grab" Katie said when she dumped the bag. "Okay then, we'll go shopping" Jason said.

He went to the phone and dialed a number. "I think we need a woman's opinion" he explained.

"Hey Mitchie, it's Jason" he said when someone picked up.

"You bored already rock star?" Mitchie answered with a giggle. Shane had called her about the contest the second he heard his victory.

"Ha ha Torres, no I need your help, can you swing by?" he asked. Mitchie nodded then realized he couldn't see her movements.

"Sure Jay, I got no plans" she said. Jason smiled, grateful it was Sunday and Mitchie didn't have school till tomorrow.

"Cool, thanks Mitch" he answered and hung up.

"She pretty?" Katie asked when he put down the phone. Jason looked flustered. He never thought of his best friend's girls like that. But he couldn't lie, Mitchie was pretty.

"Yeah, I guess, I don't know, she's Shane's girl" Jason said.

"Oh…so who is your girl?" she asked and the look on his face gave her the answer.

Katie bit her lip and threw her arms around him. "I'll be your girl then Jason, I mean I am going to be your girl anyway" she said and Jason smiled.

"Works for me" he said. He went to the couch and sat to wait for his friend and Katie sat on him.

"So while we wait, why don't we get to know each other?" Jason suggested and Katie nodded.

"Okay, my full name was Katherine Danielle Robin and I'm turning eleven next month on September 15'th" she began.

"That's a beautiful name" Jason said and she grinned. "I like it, so what's my new last name?" she asked.

"Green, if you want" he answered. "Katie Green, I like that" Katie said.

They went on like that and Katie looked in awe at Jason's tale of their awesome band.

"I don't really have our music here, we don't exactly listen to ourselves when were hanging out" Jason said when Katie asked if she could hear C3.

"I'll buy you the CD and your own player" he added when she looked disappointed. Katie grinned and hugged him just as the bell rang.

"That must be Mitch" Jason said and took Katie off his lap and she followed him to the door.

He opened the door and Mitchie grinned at him. "Hey Mitch, you're a lifesaver" he greeted.

Mitchie nodded. "So what's the…." she began and spotted Katie.

Jason smiled. "Mitchie Torres meet Katie Green, I'm going to adopt her today and that's why I called, the kid needs some nice clothes" Jason said.

Mitchie looked at the kid to him. "Whoa rock star, start that over" she said and Jason sighed. He told her the entire story of meeting Katie.

Mitchie looked at Katie who looked at the floor. "I was so dumb but I think it was fate, I really like Jason" Katie mumbled.

Mitchie nodded. "I like him too" she said and Katie smiled at her. Mitchie then pulled Jason away from the door and to the couch. Katie watched but didn't follow.

"Jason…does my boyfriend and Nate know?" she asked and he shook his head.

"I know Mitchie…this is a big thing but I promised her…the kid lost her parents three years ago and…look at her Mitch, she needs me" Jason added.

Mitchie sighed. "You know I'll help anyway I can but the guys are not going to be happy about this" she said.

Jason shrugged. "Who cares? I won't abandon her, Nate and Shane will deal with it" he said.

He didn't want to go further into the conversation and went to Katie.

"Ready kiddo?" he asked and Katie nodded. She put on her shoes and Mitchie followed them out.

They went to Wal-Mart. Jason didn't really care for the place but the place did have good prices.

Katie picked two nice dresses and a half dozen new outfits. Jason then brought her a few toys to play with plus the promised CD and player.

He didn't even put on a disguise. People left the three alone, obviously assuming they were a family. A couple kids waved and he waved back.

"My dad is famous, how cool is that?" Katie said with a grin to Mitchie. The three went on line and paid.

Mitchie really had no plans so she went to the orphanage as well. The lady there looked relieved to see Katie.

"Katherine Danielle" she greeted her and Katie clutched Jason's hand.

"Madame, I found your runaway and I want to keep her" Jason said holding out a hand.

The lady shook it. She kept hold of it as she studied him. "Wait, your that guy from Connect Three aren't you?" she finally asked.

"Got a few new kids who had players with your music" she added and Jason smiled.

A few hours later, Jason signed the papers. It took a while because the lady had to make sure Katie was in good hands.

Katie beamed as Jason finished signing. "Yay! I have a daddy again and he is the coolest guy ever" she singed.

She wanted to say goodbye to the friends though and a half hour longer the three left the orphanage.

"Congrats Jason, Katie you do have an awesome dad" Mitchie said to both.

To celebrate, Jason took both girls out for dinner and after they went to the movies.

After the movie, Katie fell asleep in the car as Jason drove home. He lifted his daughter and kissed Mitchie's cheek.

"Thanks Mitch, drive safe" he told her as she got in her car.

He watched her leave and then put Katie to bed. He then began to worry about his two best friends.

'I wonder how much they'll yell this time' he pondered as he laid out on the couch again.
