I held Vie´s hand while Burt was talking on the phone to John, she bit her lip, and it almost felt like ages before Burt said goodbye and hung up.

"That was John!" he began. Vie held her breath. "Apparently, this couple, they´re in Lima this week, and they wanna meet us personally. So, I've got the number to them, and I´m gonna call them now, and see if we can get along about some time." Burt turned around, and pressed some numbers on his phone. I and Vie sat down next to Carole in one of the sofas, Burt sat down in a chair, and Rebeccah, Finn, Blaine and Kurt sat in the other sofa, though Rebeccah sat in Finn´s lap.

"Mhm," Burt had been speaking on the phone for a while now. "Mhm, okay, see you tomorrow then. Bye Mr. McNeal… Steve… bye." Burt hung up. Vie was now almost jumping in the sofa.

"WhaddidhesaywhatdidhesaywhatdidheSAY" she almost shouted. The others laughed, but I didn´t do anything, I knew how Vie felt way too good to laugh about it.

And she were wondering, if she was gonna feel wanted, or just being unwanted, AGAIN. Burt leaned forward, and began.

"Well, they´re coming over tomorrow, at one P.M…"

"AND?"

"Their names are Steve and Jenny McNeal, they´ve got a farm, and currently three fosterchildren. They´ve got the place for one more foster-kid, and no, they haven´t found one yet… so… fingers crossed. But, as I said they´re gonna be here tomorrow at one, so, then we´ll know if you´ll get along with them or not." Vie nodded.

I looked down at Vie, twisted a tress of her waist- long, dirty- blonde hair around my finger. Was this really the same Vie Geller, as the one I´d med outside the bank on the head street in town? Was this really the same girl that had been hiding half of her face, behind the high collar of her raincoat? Was this actually the same person who had been covered in mind and dirt, with matted dirty hair, and scared looking green eyes?

Was this really the same girl who had come running, soaking wet, bleeding and sobbing her heart out that night?

"Lex? LEX?" I woke up from my thoughts by Vie´s voice calling my name.

"Mhm."

"Do you remember the first time we met? You told me that, if you didn´t walk back into the bank, Burt and Carole would start worrying for you… you said that you would tell me why some other time… but you haven´t told me. Could you tell me now?" I nodded, took a deep breath and began.

"Vie… did I ever tell you about my sister Maddie?"

The next day

"When are they coming?" We were in the living room, Vie was almost jumping of nervousness now.

"Vie, calm down," Carole tried. "The time won´t go faster the more stressed out you are."

"What time is it?" Burt sighed, took of his wrist watch and reached it to Vie, so she could check the time herself, and then the minutes went by… one, two, three, four…

"The clock is ten past one now," Vie said after a while. "Shouldn´t they be here by now? Why are they late?"

"I don´t know," Burt said. "They probably just have some trouble finding the right street or something." Vie nodded, we waited. The clock became twenty minutes past, half past, twenty minutes to two… and then at ten minutes before two, the door knocked.

"They´re here, they´re here." Vie jumped up from the sofa, and sprinted to the door. I, Burt and Carole stood up too, and walked after her.

The couple that now stood in the door were perhaps in their early thirties, they both had middle- brown hair, and blue, really kind- looking eyes. I shook hands with them.

"Hi, Lex."

"Steve McNeal."

"Lex."

"Jenny."

"So," Burt said. "Why don´t we just go to the living room and sit down, coffee? Tea? Coke?"

"Ehrm.. Tea please." Jenny said.

"Coffee for me." Steve said. first we came into the living room. Burt spoke up again.

"This is my son Kurt, and his boyfriend Blaine, and that´s Carole´s son Finn, and his girlfriend Rebeccah." There were a lot more hi and hello, I walked into the kitchen and got each coke for me and Vie, then I walked into the living room again, and sat down on the floor. Burt and Carole were in the kitchen, making tea and coffee. We all sat quiet until they came into the living room, with a trey with coffee to Burt, Steve, Blaine and Finn, and tea to Carole, Jenny, Kurt and Rebeccah. It kept on being quiet for a couple of minutes more, and to try to get a conversation going Kurt asked.

"So, how long have you been married then?" Jenny and Steve laughed, Kurt looked confused.

"Ehrm, we´re not married," Steve said. "We´re twins." Kurt blushed.

"It´s okay," Jenny said. "You´re not the first one asking, no… but I´ve got a boyfriend, it´s just that, we have never been separated, it was just always so clear, it was our dream to have a farm together."

"yeah, and have foster children and so, help them. With help from each other, and the cats, and the horses." Steve continued.

"Loads of people think that to have foster children, you gotta be this typical, husband- wife- couple, but we´re just a sister and a brother, who had the same dream. But enough about us… what about you?" she looked to Vie.

"What about me?"

"Would you like to live at our farm? Learn to ride horses, and get to know our other foster children?" Steve asked. Vie shrugged.

"Bye, see you in two weeks, bye." Vie waved Steve and jenny off that evening. In two weeks, she would go to Nashville, to Steve and Jenny, to try and settle in at the farm.

"So, that went well," Blaine said. "Didn´t it?"

"I guess it did," Vie yawned, and walked upstairs to go to bed.

So, I´m stopping right there, this chapter isn´t so good I guess… but, but, can´t be on top all the time can I? haha, just kidding.
So, I´m looking forward to a four days long weekend, I´m spending the first night home alone, so I´ll probably do some more writing… bye for this time.
