Bianca's new life

Officially Bianca Addams (epilogue)

Bianca Pov

It was a couple of hours before we had to go to the hearing, I was shaking from nerves, as I was worried about the jury siding with my birth giver, I know that looking back on it, it was never going to happen, but I was still terrified of this happening, and that feeling was pretty valid, (because feelings don't always reflect reality).

I felt like I was going to puke up my guts even though that was the last thing that I wanted to do, I also kind of zoned out, (I was overthinking about what was going to happen), I zoned out so much that it was then time for the court hearing, (yeah I was ok afterwards but it wasn't fun during this whole thing, ya know Babes).

We were in court, (like I had just mentioned), my heart was beating at 100mph and I felt like I was going to be sick, (which was not great as I didn't want my birth Mum to see that she still had that effect on me), (yes, it carried on into the actual hearing).

Though I think that Dad and Papa could see that as they squeezed my hand that little bit tighter, just to make sure that I was ok, they're good like that, (though they didn't see it like that), I was concentrating so hard on not puking my guts up that I did give myself a headache and that wasn't fun let me tell ya Babes.

I tuned out most of what the judge was saying as I just wanted Dad and Papa to be able to adopt me, (I know that it doesn't sound great, but I don't wanna lie to you either), (I think that you would block it out in my shoes here).

"I hereby announce that Bianca can be adopted"

The relief that I felt when I heard the judge say was freeing, it was like I had taken off a 2 stone bag off my shoulders after wearing it for 3 years, (minus the actual pain that would come after doing as such though).

So we went home and had a curry chip, (look, I didn't want a whole song and dance about it, I just wanted my family to be there, ok, sue me), and I was just so happy that it was all over, ya know, (you would be too in my shoes Babes, ok).

Anyway, we're eating a curry chip, as you do, and we were just chitchatting about stuff, (I'm awful at describing things), which felt right, (I'm making no sense to anyone but me here), but like it felt different but also not at the same time, (like why does this piece of paper change everything when I was essentially their kid before?).

It eventually was just Ro and I in the living room as everyone else actually went to bed, (as most people actually do), but we just sat there and talked with cuppas in hand, (shit didn't change just because I was officially an Addams now).

"I bet that you don't feel all that different Bee"
"How do you know that Ro?"
"Ollie told me that he didn't feel any different when Aunt Rebecca and Uncle Levi adopted him"
"Oh, I didn't think about it like that"
"It's not a bad thing, as you've always been family to me"
"Is that why you went to me when my mum kicked me out?"
"Yes and no, I also knew that it wasn't exactly safe there-"
"You love me really"
"(Snorts), of fucking course I do Babes"

It was nice, (no shit Bianca), and us sitting on the windowsill like this actually reminded me of the night Ro talked about Roger, which she turned out to be right about, because of course she was, not that I'd ever tell her that as she doesn't need anymore reason to tell people that's she's always right about things, (as she does that without knowing this), though I didn't bring it up to her, she just did that all by herself.

"Ya know Bee, this kinda reminds of the night that we first talked about Roger"
"Yeah?, why's that Ro?"
"Us sitting on the windowsill with a cuppa in hand because we can't sleep"
"Well I guess when you say it like that it makes sense to me"
"Gee thanks Bee, I do remember shit sometimes"
"I know that"
"God you really are one of us now, as that's pure Addams sass there Babes"
"That's how adoption works"
"Oh fuck off Bee, you don't need to be such a smart arse about it"
"But I'm an Addams, it's in my nature"
"(Snorts), Alright!, fine!, you win, you absolute lunatic"
"Thank you!, you love me really Ro"
"I do love ya Bee"
