STEFS POV


Brandon just got here. "Okay now that everyone is here, mamma and I need to ask you guys something. So can everyone take a seat please?" They all say. "Lena you want to start?" I asked she smiled and began,"well the last month has been very difficult and I don't know how many times I have told you how sorry I am for what happened-,"Lena was cut off by Jude,"moms? Are you getting a divorce?" I could tell that he was worried so I went over to him," no baby, mamma is the love of my life and so are you 5 and that will never ever change. Sometimes bad things happen though and people handle things differently and sometimes people just need space and time to think and figure things out. Mamma just needed time and space to think about Franky, but she is back now and her love for all of us hasn't changed," with that I kissed his forehead and then walked over and kissed Lena. "What we really wanted to ask you was if it would be okay with you if we adopted Clara, so what do you think?" I asked while holding Lena's hand. They all looked at each other and nodded. "So, is that a yes?" Lena asked excitedly. They almost hosted back "yes!" Lena smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Well we were thinking about surprising her and asking when she gets back from surgery so Mariana and Callie go with grandma to the store to get a poster board, paint, sharpies, and anything else you think we should use to decorate," they nodded.

"Jesus and Jude you will go with mamma to the gift shop down stairs and get Clara some flowers and a stuffed animal," they also nodded.

"And Brandon you and I will go get some lunch okay? So I need everyone's order we will probably go to Culvers and then Starbucks, so you know the drill write your name and what you want. Try to meet back here in about 45 minutes okay my loves?" They all said okay,"alright, I love you and I just wanted to thank all of you for being so helpful and supportive. Now give me some loves and let's go," with that each kid came up and hugged me and I kissed their forehead. Then my mom hugged me and left. And finally Lena hugged me and I pecked her on the lips and followed her out the door.

We all pitched in and got everything ready. The kids are downstairs eating and should be up soon. Now all we have to do is sit and wait for Clara to get back.

CLARAS POV


I'm running. Something is chasing me. I know where I am this time. I'm on the street where I was shot. As usual the little girl told me to run so I am but this time the little girl is running too she is a few steps ahead of me. She has long, wavy, dark brown hair. She is probably around 9 or ten. She has light skin and from the slight glimpses of her face she looks a lot like someone I have seen. Out of no where I am in Stef and Lena's house. I'm on the stair case looking at the pictures that are hanging up but everything is blurry except for one picture. It's a picture of the little girl. The house starts crashing down around me and then it disappears and I'm running again. "Who are you?" I asked. She didn't respond. She didn't even turn around. "Who are you?" I yelled this time. She turned and said "you already know who I am. We have to go this way, she will help us," she said calmly. "Who? Who will help us? Why do we need help?" I yelled again. She didn't answer.

We kept running and there was a figure and right behind the figure was another one. I think they were holding hands. I ran a little faster to get ahead of the girl and I realized it was Stef I ran up to her and practically jumped into her arms. "Clara, Clara baby? Clara wake up sweets," I heard Stef say. I looked at her confused and then I looked over at Lena and she smiled at me. "Hi baby how are you feeling?" Lena asked. Then everything went white and I woke up in my hospital bed. "Baby?" Stef asked, she looked pretty worried. "H-hi mom," I choked out and managed a smile. "How are you sweetheart?" Lena asked, "a little drowsy to be honest, but I'm okay. I had the weirdest dream though," I replied "really I didn't know you could dream on anesthesia," Stef said questioningly,"you can't," Lena said "I studied anesthesia for a month in college," Stef looked at Lena puzzled.
Just then grandma walked in and so did the rest of my siblings, including Brandon.

I sat up and I saw flowers and a stuffed animal and a big sign that said "Clara, we love you! Will you be our sister/ daughter?"


Tears built up in my eyes. Stef kissed my forehead and whispered "well, what do you think?" I grabbed her and pulled her in he a hug and said quietly "I didn't think you wanted me," she held me and replied "of course we want you baby! We would be insane not to!" She kissed my forehead a bunch of times and then said "so? Is that a yes?" I smiled and said"yes!" Lena yelled "mamma sandwich!!" And Stef and Lena hugged me tight and I felt nothing but joy" then each of my siblings have me a hug and then grandma gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek.


"Oh I almost forgot!" Brandon said,"we got you something at Starbucks," he handed me a Starbucks cup with a smile the cup said Clara AdamsFoster with a heart. "Thank you guys so much!" I said. And for the first time in a while I am genuinely happy.
