Adopted By a Romanian Teddy Bear

Chapter 2

A couple hours later, adoption day is over and Peter and I are hanging out in the courtyard. I'm reading one of my comic books to him. It starts sprinkling, so we go inside. It's almost dinner time, so we go wash our hands and set the table. We are eating spaghetti and meatballs when Miss Ava stands up and says, "I have an announcement, today one of you was adopted and will be picked up tomorrow morning." "Who?" Peter asks, "Well, Trixie, you were adopted." she says while looking at me. I drop my fork and look at her, "I'm sorry, but did you say me?" I ask, shocked, she nods, "By who?" I ask almost scream, "By Sebastian, the man you were talking to earlier today." Peter stands up and runs out of the room. "Thank you Miss Ava, but may I be excused?" Miss Ava nods, and I run after Peter.

Peter ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs and up to the attic where he and I normally hang out when we can't go outside. I go up to the attic and find Peter in the corner crying. "Hey bud." I say, "I don't want you to leave me." Peter says still crying. I pull him into a hug and start crying as well. After we both had calmed down, Peter was asleep, so I carried him down to his room and put him in his bed. I walked out of his room and down to Miss Ava's office where she was sitting. "Oh good, I wanted to talk to you before you went to bed. Is Peter alright?" she asks in a concerned tone, I nod, "Don't worry, I'll take care of him when you leave. By the way, Sebastian, the man who adopted you, will be here at 11:00 tomorrow morning and he drove by while you were upstairs with Peter, and he dropped this off." She handed me a box with wrapping paper on it with a note taped to it. "Thanks." I said, and walked out. I walked up to my room and read the note. "Can't wait for tomorrow, hope you like your present, -Sebastian" I opened the box and inside was a new iPhone 11, I gasped and turned it on. It was all set up and there was one contact already in the phone, Sebastian. I tapped the contact and texted it, "Hey it's Trixie" and hit send. The phone buzzed and I saw a text back from Sebastian, "Hey Trixie, I'm excited to see you tomorrow, I hope you like the new phone." I typed a reply, "Yea I love it. My old phone isn't great, all it could do was text and call, I'm prob gonna give my old phone to my friend Peter, since he doesn't have one and I want to stay in touch with him." I hit send. The phone buzzed again, Sebastian replied with "That's a great idea, i got to go, but I will see you at 11:00 tomorrow. Have a good night." "You too." I replied.

I took out my old phone and put in my new phone number, and I texted it so I had it on my new phone. I walked out of my room and down to the boys' room and walked over to Peter who had woken up from a nightmare. His cheeks were wet and his face was red. "Peter what happened, are you okay?" I asked as I sat down on the bed. "I just had a nightmare that you left and I never saw you again and you forgot about me." he said in a frantic tone. "I can promise you that will never happen and I will never forget you, plus there is no way I could forget you if I text you every week." I say, "But I don't have a phone." he says looking at me, "Now you do." I say and hand him my old phone. "Sebastian dropped off a new phone for me and I already put your contact into my new phone so that we can text or call." He smiles and hugs me, "I love you." he says, "I love you too, my little Spider-Man." I reply before standing up and walking out of the room. I walk back to my room and go to sleep.

When I wake up it's almost 10:00, so I get up and get dressed. I put on my favorite Bucky Barnes shirt, some jeans, and my blue converse. I start packing my bag and I find one of my comic books on my desk. "This is Peter's favorite", I say to myself. I pack all my other comic books and leave that one on my desk. I grab my bags and walk down the hall. I walk down the stairs and put my bags down.

I carry the last comic book into the kitchen and find Peter sitting at the table by himself. I hold out the comic book and say "This is for you. I know it's your favorite and I want you to have it." He takes the comic book and hugs me, he starts crying again. I manage to keep my composure and I get him to calm down. He sniffs, "It's almost time for you to go." I look at the clock and see that he is right, it's 10:45 and Sebastian would be here in 15 minutes. "Trix?" Peter asks. I look back at him and say "Yea?" Peter reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small box. Peter hands me the box and says "I was saving this for your birthday, but I think I should give it to you now. I hope you like it." I open the box and inside is a silver necklace with a spider charm." I pull the necklace out of the box and put it on. "I love it Peter, thank you." I hug Peter again and decide to read him the comic until Sebastian gets there.
