Just a Moment- a Cameron Boyce fanfic.

Chapter 9

Wren's POV

The day after the party, my parents told us that no one would have to watch Mia that day.

"Girls", my mom addressed. "Today we are all going to the adoption office. You are both going to meet Penelope."

I froze. I hadn't realized how nervous I was until that moment. Just another moment that made reality reveal itself.

What if she didn't like me? Or worse- what if I got attatched to her and then she was taken away from me? Lily and Jen had hurt me enough, I couldn't handle any more of that kind of heartbreak.

At the office, no one spoke for a solid 10 minutes while we waited for the social worker to bring Penelope out.

I think my parents could sense how nervous Halley and I were. They kept shooting us worried glances and sympathetic smiles. Finally, my mother broke the silence.

"You'll really love her", she said.

"Maybe, but she'll never be like Lily and Jen", Halley muttered. I don't think mom heard.

Cameron's POV

The night before, Wren had said that she would text me when she could. It was almost noon of the next day and I hadn't heard anything from her. It was supposed to be her day to have Mia, so it was probably family that was keeping her busy.

I think I was really beginning to like her. I know, we met eachother like 3 days ago. But when we were together at that party, it didn't matter. Distance and unfortunate circumstances didn't matter. The effect of a true connection.

Wren's POV

They finally brought Penelope out. Wow, she was adorable. Her curly blond ponytail bounced as she walked around the room. Her cute pink sundress matched her colorful personality. She was perfect.

When she finally made her way to me, I tried to be as friendly as possible. 

"Hi sweetie", I said through a smile. "I'm Wren. It's so nice to meet you."

"Hi Wen", she said. It's so cute when kids couldn't pronounce their Rs.

Without warning she reached out and gave me a big hug. My heart melted as I hugged her back. Maybe having her live with us wouldn't be so bad.

I got home around 4:00. Mom and dad had Mia for the rest of the day so I had yet more time to do nothing.

Meeting Peneleope had put me in a really good mood, so I decided to text Cameron.

Last night was amazing. I hadn't been that happy since before Lily and Jen died. Being with him was like a breath of fresh air.

W: hey

He responded immediatley.

C: hi! how was your day?

W: great, met the girl we're going to adopt.

C: you like her?

W: so much

It went on like this for another 3 hours. By far the best 3 hours of the day.

I was really starting to fall for him. Leaving LA at the end of the summer was going to suck.
