Love the manhunt

Chapter 9- No longer lonely

Dream's POV
The wound defiantly hurt now. Maybe even worse then when the knife actually entered my stomach. I groaned, grabbing my stomach and turning over in the bed. "Good morning Dream." Bella said looking up from the book she was reading. "You have glasses?" I asked seeing her wearing these round lensed glasses. "Yeah. Their just reading glasses." She said taking them off and folding them. "Your look so adorable with them on!" I said smiling. I had been living with Bella for two days now and she was already starting to feel like a kinda like family. "Bella?" "Yes?" "What would happen if someone found you living here?" "I would be put in a adoption agency I think." "Oh. And you don't want to go there? Do you not want another family?" "I mean I would love a family. But I don't want to end up in a bad family. You know?" "Yeah I get that." She came over to me. She placed her hand on the wound and I winced. "How does that feel?" "It definitely hurts." I said wincing again. "I need to change your bandages. The ones you have on are all bloody. Can you stand?" "My legs aren't broken Bella." I said getting out of bed. She grabbed fresh bandages and set them down to remove my old ones. She looked up at me. "Your so tall." She stated. "Maybe I'm not tall. Maybe your just really short." "Don't you even go there." I laughed. "I got the bandages off. Oh my god... Dream.." She said. I looked down at the wound and saw how horrible it looked. "Sit down." She said walking over to the sink. I sat on the bed. She turned on the water and grabbed a cloth. She put the cloth under the sink and rung it out. She walked over to me and sat on the bed beside me. "Dream. Look at me." I looked in her eyes. "This is going to sting. Just keep looking at me." She placed the cloth over the wound. Sting? Sting was a understatement. This fucking hurt like hell. I held back a scream. "Dream. You can scream. Now one will hear you." I let out the scream I was holding in.

She had bandaged me up again after cleaning the wound. I was afraid that someone might have heard me scream, even if Bella said they wouldn't. My greatest fear became real. There was a knock at Bella's door. She looked at me fearful. "Who is it?" I asked. "There's a person from an adoption agency and a member of law enforcement out there." My breath hitched. "Bella open the door." She did as I told her then came and sat beside me. "I'm sorry to interrupt you two but we heard someone scream from this house." "Oh well we're fine here." The adoption agency girl stepped in. "Are you this girls legal guardian?" She was talking to me. I looked at Bella. "No he isn't my parent are dead. Leave Clay alone and take me. He's just my friend." The adoption girl walked inside and grabbed Bella by the shoulder pulling her toward the door." "No. Don't take her." I said suddenly. What was I doing?! I knew she was like my family. I had lost everything else. I was not about to lose Bella too. "I'll adopt her." I said. "What? Clay?" Bella looked at me completely shocked and confused. The adoption girl looked at me too. "I said. I'll adopt her."

George's POV
I called Dream almost everyday. I made sure to hide it from the terror-some three. I wanted to call him again. I rang his number. "Hello?" "Hi Dream!" "George I can't talk right now. I'm in the middle of doing some paper work." He said. "Paperwork? Paperwork for what?" I asked. I heard on his end of the line, that girl Bella. "Clay? Are you going to sign that? You don't have too." "Bella I'm going to sign it. Just give me a second, I'm talking to George." I listened. What was he doing that could be so important? "George I really have to go. I love you and I'll call you later." He hung up. I was shook. What the hell was he signing? I decided to take a walk to Sapnap's and explain this weird experience to him. I told him about every conversation that me and Dream had. I told him he was alive three days ago. He was overjoyed. I was almost at his house. I kept walking. I could see the house. Sapnap was standing, looking out the window of his house. He spotted me and came outside. "Hey! How's Dream?" He asked me. "I don't really know. He said he couldn't talk because he was signing paperwork." "Paperwork? What paperwork? What kind of paperwork would he be doing out there?" "I have no idea."

Dream's POV
It was done. I signed the paperwork. Bella was... my daughter. It felt right though. The second she became my kid. I started loving her like my daughter. She smiled at me after those people left. She hugged me. "So what do I call you now? Dream or Dad?" "Whatever your comfortable with." I said. So now all there was left to do is tell George and see what he said. But not yet. Right now I wanted to spend time with my daughter and enjoy our first few moments as a official family.

It had been 8 and a half months since Bella found me. I was living with her for 8 and a half months already. I hadn't told George about adopting Bella yet. I would call him today. For the first 4 months Bella just called me Dream. But one day she just accidentally called me Dad. She's been calling me Dad ever since.

I picked up my phone. Dialled George and waited. "Hello?" "George!" "Dream! Oh my god I haven't heard from you in months! I thought you actually died. How are you." "I'm good. But George I need to tell you something and if your mad just say it when I tell you." "Your scaring me. Tell me." "I adopted Bella. They were going to take her. I couldn't let that happen. So I adopted her. George I have a daughter now." Silence. Then I heard him laughing. "Your said that wrong." He laughed again. "What do you mean?" I asked confused. "You said "my daughter." Instead of our daughter. Dream if you adopted Bella she's our daughter. Not just yours." "Your not mad?" "No Dream I'm happy! We have a daughter! Can I speak to her please?" I took the phone away from my ear. "Bella?" "Yeah dad?" "George wants to talk to you." She got up and walked over to me. I whispered to her. "I guess you have two dads now." She smiled and took the phone from me. "Hello?" Her soft voice said into the phone. I heard her talking to George but I just zoned out their conversation. After awhile Bella handed me the phone back and told me to say goodbye to George. "George?" "Dream." "George." I looked over at Bella watering her plants in the corner. "George I'm coming home. And I'm bringing Bella with me."
