Chapter 77

Sawyer POV - one week later

"Happy gotcha day!!" Momma and Pops yell.

I open my eyes and smile when I see them and Charlie.

Charlie runs to my bed and crawls in, "Today is the day we got you, Sawyer!"

I smile and squeeze her tight, "Yeah, it is!"

"Happy Sawyer day! It's like your birthday, but better!" She says.

I chuckle, "Thanks, Charlie."

"Okay, so it's Sawyer day meaning you get to do whatever you want today." Momma says.

I smile and sit up while stretching.

"Right now, I want family cuddles." I smile.

Momma and pops chuckles and come over to my bed, getting in.

I pull Charlie with me and sit in between them.

I sigh, "No regrets?"

I glance up at them and their eyes are wide.

"None baby. We're so happy and lucky that you're a part of our family." Momma says.

I nod and look down, "I'm so happy."

I feel a kiss on my head, "We're so happy." Pops says.

We lay in bed when I get an idea, "Momma?"

"Yeah, baby?"

"Can we go to the zoo?" I ask.

"Zoo!!" Charlie cheers.

"Are you sure, baby?" Momma asks.

I bob my head, "This is a pretty important day, a reason to celebrate. I want to go even if I might get sad. Maybe the day will help me be okay with going?"

I feel a squeeze, "Then we will go."

"Sawyer, what's your favorite animal?" Charlie sits up and looks at me.

I smile, "Giraffe. What's yours?"

She smiles, "Same as you!"

I smile wide, "Cool. We can see them at the zoo."

"Okay, the Carrasco's have a zoo to get to, so let's get moving!" Pops says.

I smile and and watch as they leave.

I let out a breath and look up, "I miss you guys, every day, but I'm so happy that I have them."

I grasp the rings and bring them to my lips.

I sigh and start getting dressed and then quickly finish up.

I walk downstairs and start feeling anxious.

"Sawyer?"

I turn and see momma, "Hmm?"

"You want to get your vest? You're walking on your toes."

I look down and then back up, "I didn't even notice."

"It's okay, are you anxious?"

I stare at her and nod, "Yeah."

Maverick licks my hand and I walk to get my vest then sit at the table.

I see French toast get dropped in front of me and I smile widely, "Whoa! Thank you!"

I grab the syrup and start dumping it on, "Okay, whoa baby. Too much."

I grin at her and start eating.

"Sawyer! Look I have French toast too!!"

"Twins, Charlie!" I say.

We finish eating and start loading up into the car.
