"Am I not allowed to admire my perfect daughter?"
Kalia has been in Foster Care ever since the plane crash when she was 8 years old.
One day, Bryce Hall comes in looking to foster a child and Kalia catches his eye.
He flies her back to LA with him...
I pull on a AC/DC hoodie I stole from Josh and some shorts.
I am brushing my hair when I hear the door open and then close.
Lisa: "Where is my favorite grandchild?" I drop my brush and run down stairs.
Kalia: "Grandma!" I yell and hop into her open arms. She hugs me tight.
Lisa: "Erg, how is my beautiful granddaughter." I smile.
Kalia: "Good!" I met my grandma in May. She is litterally the nicest person I have ever met. The door opens and closes again.
Bryce: "Hey mom." She lets go of me.
Lisa: "Ugh now I have to deal with this monkey." I giggle. She hugs him.
Lisa: "Ai ya yi Bryce."
Bryce: "Love you too mom." He says sarcatically. She pulls away suddenly.
Kalia: "Does he really smell that bad?" Bryce playfully glares at me while grandma luaghs.
Lisa: "No, well yes. I rememberd that I brought something for you pumpkin." Bryce groans and rolls his head back.
Bryce: "Mom!"
Lisa: "What! I warned you that I would spoil her!"
Bryce: "You give her something every week! What about me?!" He says.
Lisa: "I like Kalia better."
Bryce: "Hmp."
Lisa: "Now don't pout like a baby, you are 20 years old."
Kalia: "He doesn't act like it." I mutter.
Bryce: "I will rain tickle fire on you." Grandma shots her head up with a box in her hand.
Lisa: "Ah ha! Found it!" She hands me a box of hot coco and a teddy bear

Kalia: "It is so cute thank you grandma!" I squeal and hug her once again.
Lisa: "No problem pumpkin."
Bryce: "Well, I am going to take a shower."
Kalia: "Where were you dad?" He looks at a loss for words.
Bryce: "I- uh- the mall."
Kalia: "At 10 am?" I raise an eyebrow.
Bryce: "Yes?" He says. He sounds like he is trying to convince himself as much as grandma and I. I will let it slide this one time. ONLY ONCE!
Kalia: "What ever you say big guy." And then go back to my teddy bear.
Bryce: "Who you calling big guy, midget?" I gap in shock. Grandma just laughs.
Kalia: "Not my fault I am cursed with the short genes."
Lisa: "Don't worry sweetie, I gave him the short genes."
Kalia: "Haha sucka." I stick my tounge out at him.
Bryce: "Ok ms 4'7'' " he chuckles.
Kalia: "Ok Mr 5'6'' " I say back.
Lisa: "I swear you two act more like siblings than father and daughter." She laughs.
Noah: "I'm her favorite!" He shouts from the top of the stairs.
Josh: "No I am!" He yells heading down.
Anthony: "As if! I am!"
Kio: "She cuddles me the most so I am!"
Lisa: "Oh jeez."
Kalia: ''I will tell grandma who my favorite is." I declare. grandma bends down so I can whisper in her ear. I notice Josh coming closer so he can hear.
Kalia: "Ah! Back it up!"
Josh: "Fine fine." He backs up and stands over by the boys.
Lisa: "So, who is your favorite?" She asks.
Kalia: "My teddy bear." I whisper. She smiles.
Lisa: "Good choice." She says. And then we leave the boys arguing over who is my favorite.
Little do they know, that they are arguing and competing against a teddy bear.
