Rowan's POV
We took Sabrina home with us. She cried all night. I heard my parents and Shawn up all night talking. I didn't know what was going to happen but I was scared for her. I couldn't believe how selfish Katy was. This is her daughter not some piece of trash she can leave behind. Sabrina laid in my lap all night. I texted Lucas and told him what happened. He texted back saying he would reach out to Sabrina and to let him know if we needed anything. I kept it short with him and so did he. I know Kendall wants as little contact there as possible so that's what I was doing. Lucas had to know because he'll always be apart of us even if he's not around. I know Josh wanted to be here for her but she was in no condition to be around him right now. She didn't want Josh to see her like this. Sabrina is so strong, I've seen her cry and breakdown but it doesn't happen often. It's usually anger masked with sadness and then tears. This was straight up tears, what could I do? I held her in my arms and she finally fell asleep. I got up and went to call Kendall.
"Hello?" He answered annoyed. I had to call him to tell him about what happened or he would question everything.
"Hey, sorry about today." I said apologizing. "Sabrina's mom left her, she's over here now."
"What? That's crazy, what a bitch." He said.
"I know." I said yawning.
"Tell her I said sorry." Kendall mentioned.
"I will." I half smiled. It was nice he was caring about her.
"When can I see you?" He asked me.
"Not till the Halloween party." I said knowing Sabrina would keep me busy for awhile.
"Are you kidding me?" I could tell he wasn't happy. The Halloween party was coming up soon it wasn't that long of a wait.
"I'm sorry but Sabrina needs me." I was trying to make him calm down.
"She doesn't need you! I need you!" He demanded.
"I'll see you at school." I said.
"Fine. Whatever." Kendall hanged up on me.
"I love you too." I said to myself sighing.
Shawn's POV
I woke up on the Matthew's couch. I knew that I needed a clear head after all the talking last night. We talked about all of Sabrina's options. She didn't have many now that Katy left. I was shocked that she left her own daughter. I've spent so much time with that woman she had her problems but she loved Sabrina. I loved being apart of that family until I had my heartbroken. Topanga ad Cory can't take her in after taking in Josh. It's a hard situation. I could've been her step dad at one point and I think I owe it to her to be there in her time of need. I knew I had to take her in. I didn't want to separate her from her friends and school. I know what it's like to be in her place. I don't know what would've happened to me if I didn't have someone having my back. She deserved to have a better life.
"Sabrina?" I knocked. "Can I come in?" Rowan smiled at me and patted me on the back.
"Please do something." She whispered in my ear.
"I will." I whispered back.
"You got this." She said before leaving the room.
"I need to talk to you." I said sitting on the bed. She looked up at me. "You know my mom left me when I was around your age."
"Yeah." Sabrina whispered and nodded.
"I wouldn't have gotten through that time if I didn't have the people that love and care about me looking out for me. I didn't think I had anyone when my parents were all messed up. I thought I was alone. Until the Matthews and my teacher Mr. Turner stepped up to help me out." I paused and she looked at me. "I want to step up." I was confident in what I wanted to be for her.
"What?" She said wiping away her tears.
"I want to move into the house." I said.
"I don't know what to say." Sabrina was confused and surprised.
"We found paperwork. Your mom kept my name on the lease." I looked at her wanting to know what she was thinking.
"You want to live with me?" She asked me with the brightest eyes I've ever seen.
"I want to adopt you." I said. "It's not going to happen over night but I've been where you are and I want you to feel safe." She smiled big and hugged me
Sabrina's POV
I was touched by Shawn's kind heart offering to be the dad I never had. He was the only person who's ever made me feel like I wasn't the adult in my life. I appreciated him giving me that gift in my life. I agreed to him fostering me or whatever the term was. I didn't know much about the process. I just knew it would be us from now on and that made everything so much easier. It's been about a week and already and he's done more for me than my mom has in the past month.
"Morning!" Shawn said as I entered the kitchen. He was cooking. My kitchen being used again. What a beautiful sight.
"What's for branch?" I said realizing it was noon on a Wednesday. I slept in and it felt good. We were up late packing up my mom's room and putting it in the storage closet. We didn't pack away everything, just things that only she uses. Shawn moved the rest of his stuff in.
"Pork roll sandwiches." He smiled and turned back to the stove.
"Yum." I said sitting down. I found out after Shawn agreed to move in that we was already planning to move back here when he got a job offer. He just needed to find a place to stay at.
"What's on the agenda for this week?" Shawn asked me. There was no school today or tomorrow because the school was being fumigated.
"Halloween party at Bridget's house." I mentioned. I was going with Josh and I wanted to see him since I've been busy the past few days getting settled in. I haven't even really talked to him.
"Sounds like I need more information about this party." Shawn went parent on me.
"I'm going with Rowan and Josh. She's never done a single bad thing in her life." I giggled.
"You're right." Shawn laughed.
Rowan's POV
It's been a week since that horrible day Katy left. Things have been really looking up for Sabrina. She and Shawn always connected well. Sabrina is my family, when she's doing good I'm doing good. I spent most of the week checking in on her and Shawn making sure she was okay. It's exciting Shawn moved in and wants to take on the parent role but she still misses her mom. I know she does. Kendall was mad that I kept going over there but I stayed up late almost every night to let him in my window. We would make out for like 20 minutes or he would watch something on TV and then he would leave. Most boyfriends would be okay with having a little time apart. Kendall wanted anytime he could get. If I was fifteen I feel like he would have made me move in with him. I didn't love having no space from him but it was also sweet. Seeing someone want me that badly. Tonight is Bridget's Halloween party. I had a vampire costume and Kendall was going as Dracula. I was nervous being back in that place. I wasn't sure why I felt like this. I know nothing happened like I once thought it did at the house, but I would still get those dreams once in a while. I had the dream again last night. I spent the rest of the morning shaking. I knew it was just a dream so I got over it. It's been about 6 weeks since that night. I can't believe how much is different.
