🖤Chapter 4- Today's the day🖤

Dom's POV
I cannot believe that today has already rolled around, it's actually been three whole months since I first met Frankie. His bedroom is already prepared for his arrival later on today and I have woke up early so the day can get started. How to describe how I'm feeling...
Extremely
Extremely
Nervous

Am I ready to be a parent? Is it worth my while doing this? Am I too young?

FUCK, no Dom. Stop thinking that way, Frankie is relying on you to help him, give him a home and most importantly... a family.

Rushing out the door to my car, mixed emotions in my system. It's actually time to go now. I am on my way to pick up my son.

Frankie's POV
*bleep*

*bleep*

*bleep*

I am awoken by the sudden violence of my phone alarm, it's 9am and today Dom is taking me home. Finally, a home. Somewhere I can be myself and not fret about what others will think of my identity, something I cannot change about myself.

Well, that is if everyone is on board with it. Dom doesn't know about me being nonbinary. Shit. What if I tell him and he gives me up bc I lied to him? what if he only wanted a son?

"Frankie, it's time to get ready! Dom will be here soon!" Lori sings up to me. It's time to get a move on Frankie.

After getting dressed and eating breakfast without any hitches I collected my already packed belongings and brought the bags downstairs. I am currently waiting on Dom to arrive now. Pls help me, I don't know how exactly I got here but I'm here. Being adopted by the man who saved my life.

Standing, staring out of the window and waiting for the car I know all too well to pull up in front of this grotty building us kids have to call home. A few deep breaths later and I whisper to myself "Ok Frankie, life's hit you with some shit. But this is something you can handle."

As if on queue Dom's fancy ass car pulls up, he steps out and sees me though the window and smiles and waves my way. A few months ago that simple interaction would've sent me into a frenzy, but now I find it to be something comforting. I feel as though safety is right around the corner.

Dom walks to the door and presses the bell, Lori goes to greet him. The woman calls for me "Frankie, Dom's here to take you home"
I walk towards the pair in the foyer, I being only in the room next over it didn't take too long to get to them.

"Hello Kiddo!" Dom says with relief beaming off him
"You ready to go home, start your new life?" He adds

I take another, needed deep breath "As I'll ever be!" I respond. Dom chuckles and goes to collect my belongings for me, as he is a gentleman. Meanwhile, I turn to look at Lori. The woman who works her life away to give abandoned children worthy lives. She bends down to meet her eyes with mine and says "Frankie, you deserve this. You've been through too much shit to live here and in this way, you're going to have the best life. Go get 'em kid!" Wow, say it as it is why don't you. Never in all these years have I heard Lori speak in such a manner, let alone swear.

I smile as she breaks away from me, confidence now fuelled inside me. I really do deserve this, don't I?

As if the moment couldn't get any better I hear the irritating sound of the twins. I literally don't need them right now, I'm having the best moment of my life.

"Ew, the rich man actually wants you!" They say in rather irritating unison. It's so obvious they rehearsed it moments before so they could just get their final digs of me. To their comment I roll my eyes and turn my back to them, I can't be bothered to respond because I'm in the middle of the best day of my life! Who needs loser twins who don't have any parents, right?

Over the past three months Dom has taught me to both love and respect myself, he's also made sure I know where I stand in certain situations like in this case of bullying. He's told me that they only hurt me because they are insecure themselves. Which just makes total sense, they are orphans after all.

As if on cue, Dom returns with all three bags I packed. "Alright, imma go and put these in the car. Say your goodbyes to whoever you need to and then we'll head off kiddo!" He announces. To this I nod and take a look around me, there's no one there now. I am reminded of how lonely this life has been for me. In all of these years I haven't made a single friend here, I've kept myself reclusive and coiled up in my room. I must look depressed or something.

I push my thoughts to the back of my mind and look out the open front door. The gates to my future. I take one last deep and needed breath, say my mental goodbye to the hellscape of a building which has housed me most of my life and take my final steps out

Here's to the life I have wanted for years. Here's to finally having a family and a home. Here's to getting out and living life with so much confidence. Here's to finding myself. Here's to being my true self. Here's to my parents, looking down on me...

I hope they're proud.

Today's the day.

Dom's day.

Adoption day.

Our day.

My very first day in my new life...
