Last Chance

12.

'Good morning!' Zoey and Sam walked into the kitchen. Ginnifer had already set the table. 'Good morning! Did you sleep well?' Ginnifer looked questioningly at the twins. 'Yes of course.' replied Zoey. "And you Sam?" asked Ginnifer. 'Also.' Sam nodded.

Josh had picked up Sam late last night. When they got home, Sam was exhausted from the long day and fell asleep right away. 'We've all eaten, by the way. Oliver and Hugo are always up so early.' said Ginnifer. 'What time is it?' asked Sam. "Had half past nine." Ginnifer replied. 'Oh.' Sam and Zoey sat down at the table.

"By the way, visitors are coming soon." said Ginnifer. 'Oh.' Sam and Zoey weren't quite sure what to say. "Josh will be finishing up your room with Sean and Colin in a moment and Colin's wife will come along." Ginnifer told. 'Oh nice.' replied Zoey. "Who are Sean and Colin?" Sam looked curiously at Ginnifer. 'Friends of ours. We worked with them on Once Upon A Time.' Ginnifer told. Sam nodded.

After Zoey and Sam had eaten, Josh walked into the kitchen. 'Who will come and play soccer with me?' He looked cheerfully at the two girls. Sam and Zoey looked at each other. 'No nobody? You like football, don't you, Sam?' He looked hopeful at Sam. 'No.' muttered Sam.

'Totally.' said Zoey. Sam shot her sister an angry look. 'Come on Sam. Very briefly.' Josh begged her. Sam sighed and she walked out with Josh. Josh ran happily onto the grass and grabbed a ball. 'Come on Sam. Shows how good you can play football.' He shot the ball to Sam.

"Josh, I don't feel like this. Stop being so enthusiastic. I do not want this.' Sam shouted suddenly. Startled, Josh looked at the girl. 'Leave me alone!' Sam walked further into the garden and she sat down on a plastic chair that stood in the garden.

Josh looked after her and sighed. Josh decided to go back inside and Ginnifer and Zoey were sitting in the living room. 'Have you finished playing football now?' asked Ginnifer. 'She is angry.' Josh replied. 'Leave it for a while.

The doorbell rang. "Zoey, can you open the door, please?" asked Ginnifer. Zoey got up from the couch and walked to the door. She opened the door. "Hey Zoey!" Colin and a blond woman stood in the doorway. 'Hi.' Zoey looked shyly at the couple. 'Hi Zoey, nice to meet you! I'm Jennifer.' She held out her hand and Zoey shook the woman's hand.

"Hey guys, you're already here!" Ginnifer joined them. 'Yeah, I really couldn't wait any longer. I'm so curious about you girls.' Jennifer said smiling at Zoey. 'Uhm yes, it's not very cozy here at the moment.' Famous Ginnifer. 'Oh what is it then?' asked Jennifer. "Sam's a little angry." said Ginnifer. 'Why?' asked Colin. Ginnifer shrugged.

'We don't know very well either. Sam is quite difficult with her feelings. The more Josh and I try, the angrier she gets.' Ginnifer explained. 'Hmm where is she now? I'll go check on her.' said Colin. 'In the garden.' Ginnifer replied. "I'll walk over there for a while." Colin walked away to the garden.

"Come in Jen." Ginnifer and Zoey let Jennifer in. 'Mummy come!' Oliver shouted from above. Ginnifer sighed. 'I'll be right back.' Ginnifer walked up the stairs and Zoey was left alone with Jennifer.

'And how do you like it here? Are Ginny and Josh kind to you?' Jennifer asked interested. They sat down on the couch. 'Yes of course.' Zoey replied shyly. Jennifer smiled. "They're both trying very hard. You can't get better foster parents than them.' said Jennifer. Zoey smiled weakly.

"Hey Jen!" Josh walked into the living room. 'Dad!' Jennifer stood up and hugged Josh. 'How is it going?' asked Jennifer. 'Yeah, okay! And with you?' asked Josh. 'Wow wait. Dad? Did I miss something?' Zoey looked questioningly at Josh and Jennifer. "Jen plays my daughter in once upon a time." Josh explained. Jennifer put her arm around Josh. "And Ginny my mother." She said.

'Oh. But you look the same age.' Zoey said in surprise. Jennifer giggled. "Josh, you really need to let her watch once upon a time. Once you've seen that, you'll understand.' She said. 'Okay. I'm going to watch it tonight.' Smiled Zoey. 'I'm very curious what you think about it. Let me know if you've watched the first episode.' said Jennifer. 'I will do.' Zoey nodded.

'I'll just go upstairs. Where did you leave Colin?' asked Josh. 'In the garden with Sam. I'll send him upstairs in a minute.' said Jennifer. 'Top! Then I'll start assembling your bed.' Josh said to Zoey. Zoey nodded. "I'll come and help for a while."
