I was so scared of the airplanes when I saw them for the first time. I never went on holiday with Daddy and Step-Ma and my old foster mother never took me either. I found her boring! She really was. I really hoped that Papa-Leo and Mama-Cam would take me on holiday around the world. I really wanted a brother or a sister. So far, I was a single child. And I was six. I only remember being a sister to Simone and I didn't enjoy being her sister and now I was becoming a single child again like I was with Daddy and Step-Ma. 

"How are you?" Camila asked as she walked into my bedroom in the hotel.

"I'm good. I'm so glad that we are leaving England." I said. 

"Let's go down for breakfast. What do you like? Elizabeth?" Leonardo asked.

"Normally I have cornflakes but I'll have sausage and chips for breakfast today." I told them.

"Sausage and chips it is. I'll leave you to get dressed and then we'll go down to the cafe to get some breakfast before the flight later today" Camila explained. 

They left me and I decided to have a look at the clothes in my bag. I picked my favourite dungarees set.

Afterwards, I put my pink shoes on and decided to go into the hallway where Leonardo and Camila were

"Hello sweetheart." Camila said. 

"Hello Camila. Hello Leonardo." I said back.

"You can call me Camila, or Cam, or Mum." Camila said. 

"And you can call me Dad." Leonardo said.

"Can I call you Mama and Papa?" I asked. 

They nodded. They were now my mama and papa. 

I was so happy that I now had a Mama. Of course she could never replace my real mama, the one who gave birth to me.

We all walked down the stairs to the cafe, the whole time I held on to Mama's hand. We all walked into the cafe. 

Mama took me to a table while Papa ordered the food. I really hated being away from Papa. I became reckless so Mama decided to play some games on her phone with me. 

"When you're at home, I'll get you your own tablet. You'll be allowed to play games with us. Me and your dad already have lots of board games that we can all play." Mama explained. 

I have always loved my Mama. And Papa too. Even to this day I love Mama and Papa.
