I wish Henry will agree to keeping her cos I so much want a daughter. She might not be my biological daughter but she'll be my daughter. I'll treat her the same way I treat David.
I walked into the living room with Henry behind me. David and his babysitter were watching a Disney movie
"Baby, I'm home" I said calling his attention from the TV.
He squealed in delight and jumped into my arms.
"I missed you so much" he said and I laughed.
"I missed you and your troubles too" he frowned.
"I'm not troublesome" he said.
"No you're not. You just give me a lot of troubles" I said with a smile making him pout cutely.
"Thank you so much" I said to her as I gave her pay.
"Anytime Kate. Bye David" she said. David waved her with a smile.
"What did you do today?" I asked.
" Rosie and I baked cookies. We left some for you and dad" he replied.

"Sweetheart, we need to talk" Henry said.
I sat on the bed beside him. "About Christie....."he said.
At the mention of Christie my heart raced. I looked at him but I couldn't read his expression.
"What about her?" I asked.
"Well....."he said.
"Well, i was thinking she could stay with us. If its okay with you and David" Henry said.
I was over excited. My dream is coming true. Although she wont stay here forever, I'll have someone to call my daughter for 11 years. I hugged him.
"She can stay and I'm sure David wont object"I said.
I slept that night with joy.

"Baby, you're getting a younger sister" I said excitedly.
David's eyes lit up. "Wow, that's awesome" he exclaimed. "I'm so happy. I can't wait" he said
"We are going to the hospital today to see her" Henry said and David choked on his food.
I rushed to his side, gave him water and pat his back.
"I thought you were pregnant, how then is she in the hospital?"he asked after he had calmed down.
I laughed lightly. David was extremely smart.
"Actually, I'm not pregnant and I didn't birth her. She needs a family to take care of her" I said.
"If she's as beautiful as you are then I don't mind."he said.
"She's more beautiful than your mum" Henry said.
"Really?" he asked smiling. I gasped.
"I'm offended. I'm more beautiful" I said hiding my smile. David and Henry chuckled.
"Don't worry mom. You're very beautiful" David said making me smile.
