Last Chance

14.

"We're ready for today!" Josh, Colin and Sean walked into the living room where Ginnifer, Jennifer, Zoey and Sam were sitting. "Is everything finished?" asked Ginnifer. Josh shook his head. "Zoey's room is complete and we've painted Sam's now." he told. "I'll be back tomorrow to help with Sam's room." said Colin. He looked at Sam and he gave her a smile.

'Very nice guys! Would you like to have another drink?' asked Ginnifer. 'Not me. I'm going home. My wife and children are waiting.' said Sean. 'That's good. Thank you so much for your help Sean. We really appreciate it.' Ginnifer thanked him. 'You are welcome. I'll gladly do it for you.' Said Sean. 'Thanks mate! We'll talk again.' said Josh. 'Good. I'm off guys!' Sean said hello to everyone and he left for his house.

"Well Zoey. I am very curious about your room now. Shall we go and see?' asked Ginnifer. Zoey got a smile on her face and she nodded. 'I want to come too!' shouted Jennifer. 'Me too.' Colin and Sam shouted in unison. "So do I." said Josh.

They all walked upstairs and stopped in front of Zoey's room. The door was still closed. 'Are you ready for it?' Ginnifer asked with a smile. 'Yes.' replied Zoey. "Open the door." said Josh. Zoey opened the door and put her hand over her mouth. 'How cool.' She walked into her room and looked around the room. 'Thank you!' Without thinking, Zoey walked over to Josh and Ginnifer and gave them both a hug. Surprised, the couple hugged her back.

"Do you like it?" asked Colin. 'Certainly. You did a really nice job.' Zoey looked around her room. In the corner of her room was her new loft bed and next to the window was her desk. There was also a large wardrobe in her room and on her desk were all kinds of things such as photo frames, pencils, notebooks and all other useful things.

"Your room will be ready tomorrow, Sam." said Josh. Sam smiled. Now that she saw Zoey's room, she was a little jealous of her sister. She couldn't wait to have her own room. Tonight she would sleep in Zoey's room because the paint in her room still had to dry, but tomorrow she just had her own room!

'Will you stay for dinner?' suggested Ginnifer. 'Cozy!' Jennifer looked at Colin. 'Yes that's OK!' Colin nodded. 'Cozy.' Found Josh. 'Shall I make pizzas differently? I have a very tasty recipe.' said Jennifer. 'You can if you want, but we don't have any ingredients.' said Ginnifer. 'No problem. Then I'll go to the store in a little while.' said Jennifer. 'Shall I go with you?' Zoey suggested right away. 'Yes cozy!' Jennifer nodded. Josh and Ginnifer looked at each other briefly.

"Zoey and I will go to the store then. We'll be back in a minute.' said Jennifer. 'That's good! Take it easy.' Ginnifer smiled. "Mom, Oliver is being mean." Hugo came into the bedroom. Ginnifer sighed. "Is it that time again?" Ginnifer looked at her son. Hugo nodded. "He doesn't let me play with you." said the toddler. "I'll join you for a while." said Ginnifer.

'We'll go for a while then. We'll be right back.' Jennifer and Zoey said goodbye to the others and headed for the store. "What do we all need?" asked Zoey. Jennifer and Zoey were walking down the street. It was only a five minute walk to the store. 'Quite a few ingredients. I'll take a look. I have a list on my mobile.' said Jennifer. 'Okay, good.' Zoey nodded.

'And what do you think of your room? Are you happy with it?' asked Jennifer. "Yeah, it's really cool!" A smile immediately appeared on Zoey's face. 'I also think he turned out very beautiful. The men did their best.' Found Jennifer. 'Agree. I'm really happy with it.' Zoey nodded in agreement.

'That's good to hear. Did you have your own room with your previous foster parents?' Jennifer asked interested. 'Um no. I've actually always shared a room with Sam.' told Zoey. 'Oh really? Have you never had your own room?' asked Jennifer. Zoey shook her head. 'I always have to share everything with Sam and I understand that, but we are so different from each other. We look a lot alike on the outside, but we are very different on the inside.' Zoey explained. Jennifer nodded. 'I understand. Fortunately, you now have your own room where you can relax.'
