A Life Less Than Ordinary

Six Months

Jane
The adoptions finally were completed, they had a few things come up and were quashed easily. I am now my granddaughters adopted mother. And her friends are now her siblings and my children. Therapy has been useful after we found a better therapist. The therapist someone recommended was unstable herself. They took her license. We immediately found another one and he has worked wonders for all three children. The neurosurgeon gave Anastasia a clean bill of health, if she gets headaches bring in immediately. We still need to have Ethan and Kate checked every three months for the next year.
Eloise
Caren has visited several times, she feels a bit awkward about being in this huge home though. The kids recognized her and she them. She was glad they finally were is a good home. I never thought that they would be so hungry they walked to the homeless shelter to eat anything they could get.
Caren
I got hugs from Anastasia, Ethan and Kate. I hadn't seen them for a while and worried something bad had happened to them at their parents hands. The kids and us go outside to enjoy the sun and watch as the pool is getting cleaned so we can enjoy a swim. A swimming instructor us here to teach them to swim properly. A lot of noise is bouncing off the sound. People on various boats, in the water and the dock is being checked to see if it needs any repairs done. The fence around the pool is being checked as well. The three children are playing and Jane is watching over them carefully and smiling. She has them call her whatever they want to. Eloise told me what their parents did to the kids. I wished I had known where they lived, but they were too afraid to talk. They even lost the person that I had follow them. Adults scared them, yet they were so hungry they found there way to the homeless shelter.

Carrick and I take the boat out to relax and he and the boys can fish, Mia and I checking out the new neighbors of course. I see three all young, a blonde boy and girl and a brunette. They are playing some kind of game I have never seen before. People are checking out the dock and boat house. Looks like they bought the boats from the owners as well. They held up over the winter. Mia wants to go visit them later. I ask her if they possibly enrolled in her school?
Mia
We haven't gotten any new students yet. I would wave but they are too far away to notice me. The neighbors in this area are about a mile away from us and their neighbors. Security is an issue with mom being a judge and dad a surgeon. Dad says people make threats against mom and they think he has drugs in the house or his prescription pads. Which told me he doesn't and because of that we all have bodyguards. Mostly because of mom's job. She still works as an attorney, just not on any criminal cases. Mostly civil and family law. She told me once and I think I zoned out on her. Or what Christian calls my blank look. I hear you talking, but my head is letting it go in one ear and out the other, because my brain can only hold so much information. Mom tells him to cut out telling me those kind of things. He laughs and says yes mom and grins as he walks away. He is hard to understand. He is the smartest of us three. I am sure he has his first penny he was given. All three of us apparently were left trust funds by both grandparents when they died. They died with a year after I arrived. Dad delivered me in the back seat of their car in the middle of rush hour traffic as people were heading home for supper. The boys were born in the hospital while dad was in surgery. Mom was was adjudicating a trial when Christian decided she was ready to allow his appearance. Luckily her driver used to race cars and got her to the hospital thirty minutes before she gave birth to Christian. Elliott decided to stay three weeks longer than his due date. She went into labor at her OB/GYN and her water broke on the way to labor and delivery. Dad had just been called in on an emergency surgery and couldn't leave to be with her during Elliott's birth either. Mom got some nice jewelry for those missed births. She got nothing with me. She bought dad a set if gulf clubs he had his eyes on for a while. Apparently she called him every name in the book, because he didn't have any medication for the pain I put her through. So when my brother call me a pain, they are reminding me of her story about giving birth to me without pain relief. Mom tells them to stop, but I hear her chuckle and see her shake head and look to where dad has his golfing trophies.
Christian
I check out the neighbors and looks like the children are too young for Elliott and I to be friends with them. Mia maybe. Typical someone waves at me and I wave back at them. A young boy, then the young girls start waving as well. They look like three year old girls, the boy is very tall but thin as are the girls. Elliott bumps me and says that he heard that they are Mia's age.
Elliott
A few friends found out about the neighbors. Apparently the owner is a multibillionaire and was married to a guy twice her age. One of the girls is her granddaughter from her marriage. Things happened and she adopted her granddaughter and her two friends. He just knows a firefighter brought them by ambulance to the ER after they asked for help for the one who was bleeding badly. They examined all three of them and they operated on all three of them. I tell Christian that is all I heard and he tells me not to believe everything I am told. Mom told us all that and reminded me that those kids deserve privacy about what happened to them and not to spread the story any further. She told me the friend who is blabbing all of that might end up in court being sued for spreading stories that he has no factual evidence on.
