"I don't have anys shoes for you either so is it okay if I carry you? " Lizzie asked Grace as she put her shoes on.

Before going out she had taken care of the blisters and cuts on her feet and hands. Grace nodded. So Liz carried her to the car.

She sat her in the backseat and hoped nothing happened since there wasn't a car seat. I mean there was but it was for a baby and not a 5 year old.

They got to the mall and Liz parked the car in the parking lot. "Come on let's go. " she said picking Grace up from the backseat.

"Your strong. " Grace said. Truthfully Lizzie wasn't that strong. It was just that Grace was just to thin. But Lizzie gave her a soft smile.

They went into a clothing store and Lizzie picked some clothes and showed them to Grace. Grace loved them all so she just put them into the cart.

After paying for those she went into a shoes store. "I get shoes? " Grace asked as they entered. "Of course we don't want your pretty little feet to get hurt again after they heal. And I also don't want you walking barefoot. " Lizzie said looking at the shoes.

And she ended up getting white sneakers. She immediately put the sneakers on Grace so she could walk while holding Lizzie's hand.

"Now all we need is a car seat. " Lizzie said and Grace looked up in confusion. "But the car has seats... " she said and Lizzie chuckled. "Yes but for kids that are under a certain age have to have a special seat because its safer like that. " Lizzie answered.

"I get a special seat. " Grace said with a smile. And Lizzie smiled at her innocence. So they got a car seat. Lizzie looked at the time and it was around lunch time so she asked. "Are you hungry we can eat something here before we go home. " Grace nodded as a response.

They went to the food court and ordered something at a restaurant. She put the bag of clothes and the car seat down.

The car seat was abit heavy so it was a relief. They ordered food. Lizzie had gotten coke and Grace wanted to try it because it was bubbly. "Is it good? " Lizzie asked and Grace nodded after letting go of the straw. "You can drink it once in a while but only a cup okay. " She said and Grace nodded.

As they ate Grace eyed the family across the table. Lizzie noticed the gloomy look on her face. "Grace? " "Lizzie why do you think my parents left me? The lady who looked after me said it seemed like I was just born a few hours ago so it seems they really didn't want me."

Lizzie didn't really know how to answer that. "Maybe they just weren't in the place to look after you. And thought it would be better like this. " Liz said.

"If you want to me and Robbie can adopt you. " Liz suddenly said. "Really!? " Grace said alittle to loud. Lizzie nodded with a smile.

"Yay!!! I'd love that I'd really love it. Plus no one will know I'm adopted! " She said Lizzie raised an eyebrow. "Look at me and you Lizzie. We're like twins but Im smaller. " she said squishing Lizzies cheeks together.

Lizzie looked at every detail on Grace's face and it was right. She didn't notice it before as Grace's face had dirt on it and her hair was covering her face. But now that she's clean she was right. Grace looked exactly like her.

"Your right." Liz said pinching Grace's cheek. Her  inner thought started to make assumptions since Robbie had said the baby looked exactly like her but what's the chance of that.

"Wait a sec. " Lizzie said as she installed the car seat. Grace on the other hand looked around while standing still and she noticed a group of people with cameras. "Lizzie look. " Grace said tugging on Lizzie's shirt.
