Sarah's parents were contacted immediately, and Sarah tagged along of course.

"So what happens now?  How will I get my baby back?"

"The cops are on their way to arrest your foster parents—"

"Woah!  Already? Right now? I would have liked to go and see that happen."

The woman laughs. "They did some very bad things, and we're making sure they never hurt you again."

"Thank you.. So I can stay with my friend?"

"For now.  We'll discuss everything with them once they arrive."

"I just don't want to go back to that place I was at before.  It was so sad.. I know the Paulsons won't send me back."

"I'm glad you have them, Jessica." The woman smiles.

"Me too."

"As for your baby, tomorrow we will get in contact with the adoption agency.  If they forged your signature, your adoption agent is in some big trouble as well."

"Good."

"For now I just want you to get some rest.  Soon you'll have a baby to care for and you'll be losing sleep." She smiles.

Jessica's face lights up. "You really think I'll get her back?"

"They've kidnapped your child honey, of course we're going to bring her back to you! The adoptive parents may not even realize they're in the middle of all of this, but.. well they're about to find out."

"I can't wait! I miss her so much."

Soon Sarah and her family arrived.

Catherine ran to Jessica and hugged her tightly.

"Jessica honey, I wish I would have known!  I would have come get you!  You could have come to our house."

"I know, Mrs. Paulson.  I just wanted to be alone.  I was so angry and upset."

"I understand.  Oh sweet girl..
You're not going back to them.  You are staying with us, and that is that.  We want to care for you, Jessica."

"Thank you so much.  You'll make sure they don't send me back?  Like to the girls home?  I don't want to go back."

"You're not going back.  You're stuck with us." Catherine says wiping Jessica's tears.

Jessica hugs Catherine tightly.
She then looks to Sarah and smiles softly.

"Hey roomie." Sarah smiles.

Jessica laughs and hugs Sarah.

"I love you, Jess."

"I love you too, Sarah."

"We gotta wake Danny and tell him about all this."

"No let him sleep.  We can tell him in the morning." Jessica says softly.

"Alright."

"Besides, I just want to get to bed."

"I bet." Sarah then takes Jessica's hand and smiles. "Let's go home."

Jessica smiles and tears up.
She's never truly felt like she has a home. This time things will be different. Jessica just knew they would be.

The next morning.

Jessica washed up and pumped before going down to the living room.
