I'm Okay

Baggage (3)

*Fallon's POV*

Billie and I have taken a break from shows so we can get our lives figured out however, we are still doing interviews.

 We got a new house for just us too hopefully to raise a child in. We go out and see the family all the time though. The house is nothing to big 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms, a nice kitchen, nice interior decorating. 

Claudia made sure to help with that part. We're still living in LA we travel sometimes if there's an occasion for example last year Billie took me back to Canada for my birthday. It was hard being there in her house without my mom.. but I think I've come to terms with the fact that she's gone.

It definitely took a while but I know if she could see me right now she'd be proud. She's up there hopefully with my dad. I mean I may have hated the man after what happened but she deserves to be happy. I know for a fact that he made her happy. 

We've thought about our options.. involving having a family and agreed that adopting would be the best way to go just because it's a more safe and promising process for the child to come home with us. 

We're on the flight home from Hawaii as we speak. We've been in contact with the adoption agency so two or three days after we get home we're going to see the children.

We'll decide what to do a few weeks after seeing the children and hopefully that will make the process go by a bit faster. I couldn't be at a happier place than I am right now.

*Time skip*

It's been around 4 or 5 days since we've been home and we've unpacked everything so we're on the way to the adoption agency. 

*Parker's POV*

It's another boring day in this stupid group home I'm never going to get out of. There are people coming to see how things work, get introductions to kids, start the adoption process things that I really don't care about. 

Everyone here has there own folder up at the front desk that people that come by can look through and see if they want to adopt us. Some of them don't even care to look my way. With my luck I'll just grow out of the system.

"They're in here right?" I hear someone ask as they open the door it's a voice I know all too well.. Fallon James.. there's no way. What is she doing here? Is Billie here too? What am I thinking there's three other girls in this room other than me they'll probably pick one of them.

"Okay thank you tell Billie to come in here once she's finished, I'm going talk to them." She says walking into the room. 

Yep that's Fallon.. Fallon O'Connell my Idol and her wife. Woah okay. All the girls except me rush over to her. They were all screaming something along the lines of," Take me home!" "Can I get an autograph?" "I love you!!"

"Girls stop!" one of the social workers says as he pry's them off of Fallon. Jesus are they all really that desperate? "Sorry Mrs. James they get excited." The worker says nervously. "It's fine." She says walking to one of the tables.

"I want to start by talking to them one by one. Who's that?" I hear her ask from behind me. I keep my head my book so I don't get my hopes up. All that follows her question is whispering. I hear footsteps from behind me. 

"Hey Parker.. I'm Fallon." She says sitting across from me at the table I'm sitting at. "Hi.." I mumble still trying not to get my hopes up. "Whatcha reading?" She asked. "Some manga." I say closing the book and putting a book mark in it so I can be engaged in conversation.

"That's cool how old are you?" She asked. "15." I say keeping my eyes glued to the table as she reaches for my hand. "You okay?" She asked as I pulled my hand away. "Yeah I'm okay.. just really trying to not get my hopes up." I say chuckling dryly. "what if I were to take you home?" She asked with her eyebrows raised.

"That's unrealistic. I have too much baggage there's no way you'd want me anyway." I said with a sigh. "I'm assuming you know who I am, but I'm human too. We all have baggage Parker yours might just be a little heavier." She said making me feel better in seconds.

It's crazy how she can just say a few short words making me feel better in minutes..
