Nick and Natalie

--Mika's POV--

Jasmine is a year old today. The past year has just about flown by. Andy and I met with an adoption agency a few months ago. Nothing much happened after that until last month.

Last month we met a fifteen-year-old boy named Nick and his four-year-old sister Natalie. They are both amazing kids and Andy and I want to adopt both of them. Unfortunately we did encounter a problem with the adoption, so we weren't able to finish the adoption until today.

It's 11Am and the two are about to he dropped off at the house. We're excited. And nervous.

Everyone is supposed to come over around noon for lunch and two finally meet the two. And of course to celebrate Jasmine's first birthday.

Busy day..

Andy is in the kitchen feeding Jasmine when the doorbell rings. I smile and quickly jump up to answer the door. Nick is holding Natalie in his arms with their luggage on the ground.

"Hey! How are you?!" I ask as I pull Nick in do a hug.

He laughs and pulls away. "I'm fine. Just glad to finally be here."

I smile at what he said and pull them into the house. Nick wanders into the kitchen where Andy is as I grab their bags. Natalie is sitting next to Andy as he feeds Jasmine. Nick is in conversation with him.

"How was the trip here?" Andy asks Nick.

I sit next to him as he answers.

"Long and exhausting. Natalie wouldn't stop crying the entire time." Nick replies.

"Want me to show you around?" I ask Nick.

He nods and follows me out of the kitchen.

"Living room," I tell him as I motion to the living room...duh. "The bathroom is the first door on the right. Mine and Andy's room is right here, across from it. Then the last door on the left is Jasmine's. Natalie's will be across from here and yours is at the end of the hall, right here."

"Thank you," Nick says as he hugs me tightly.

I smile and hug him back.
