Social Workers and a New Home

Calum's POV
Today a social worker was coming to talk to Luna. There was no way in hell she was going back to her house. After Luna had fallen back to sleep Laura talked to Luke and I about fostering Luna. Luckily Laura had her fostering license/certificate and she often took in emergency placements. The social worker arrived and Laura and her went into a conference room to talk in private. Once they came out I showed the social worker to Luna's room. The social worker was an older woman and she had an attitude.

Luna's POV
After last night I wasn't really sure what would happen. I was more than likely not going back home and I'd probably be put in foster care or something. I really didn't want to live with a stranger but I knew I wasn't going to have much of a choice. I heard a knock at the door and heard footsteps I looked up to see Calum followed by an older lady who looked rude. She introduced herself and said "Hello Mariana, I work for child protective services." I didn't say anything.

I rolled my eyes at the use of the name "Mariana" I hated being called by that name. After a few seconds I looked at her and said "my name is Luna" she looked at me and said "your file says Mariana. So why would I call you Luna" I rolled my eyes again and said "do you not know what a middle name is" she didn't reply. She told me that she would place me in an emergency foster home and that I was lucky enough to be placed with someone I already knew. I started to wonder who on earth I was being placed with due to the fact that she said I knew them.

Literally no one came to mind and then she said "your going to be going home with Laura". I smiled at her and said "okay, thank you" she didn't smile back. She left the room followed by Calum. Shortly after Luke came in and said "Good Morning Sweetie! I need to do a quick checkup so we can send you on your way". I gave him a small smile and nodded. I let him do what he needed to do once he was done he said everything looked good and that I could go as soon as Laura signed my discharge papers. He quickly took out the IV which felt weird.

Laura arrived shortly after with a bag of clothes that I could change into. I changed, brushed my teeth, and brushed my hair. Once I was ready to leave Laura told me that we had to stop by Michael's office before heading home. We reached his office and Laura knocked on the door. He opened the door and said "Good Morning!" with a big smile. I gave him a small smile and went inside. "Alright Kiddo! So I had Laura set you up a follow up appointment with me. It'll be in 2 weeks, I just wanted you to hear it from me." I nodded and said "thank you" and then we left.
