The evil in someone we love.

Part 1

The child.

After two years we made a decision on the child we wanted, Pie wants a girl and bae usual gets what he wants, it's fine with me, a girl will be nice to have, like Pie said we have enough males around here.

We met with Sabrina several times, for me there was something about her that seemed familiar to me, Pie said she does remind him of someone too, all we know about her is that her mother gave her up for adoption right after she was born, and nothing is known about her father. We do know that she's a very healthy child, she had a caramel complexation and a beautiful smile, Pie fell in love with her the moment he laid eyes her. As for me I'm always wondering about peoples past or who their family could be, I tried to find out about Sabrina's mother, but all of the records were sealed. I did ask why a baby wasn't adopted right away, we were told at the time people wanted older children, I thought that was odd, most people want a baby to mold so to speak. Pie said it's good for us that no one did adopt her, now she'll be ours, I still wondered about her not being adopted, something didn't seem right, but for now I'll go along with it.

Today we bring our daughter home, Liz has everything ready for her, on the way Pie held my hand and said thanks, I asked him for what. Pie said just for me being patient while he found the perfect child, I told him that's what I'm here for, but he knows there is no perfect person, he said he'd like to think Sabrina is, after all she's just a three-year-old baby and babies are perfect.

We got to the adoption agency, and we signed the last adoption papers, Dex went through everything to make sure Sabrina's biological father couldn't claim her, that was a precaution to protect us.  Sabrina was brought to us, she ran up to Pie, he greeted her and said is she ready to go home, she said home as she looked at me. She stared at me with her cold looking eyes, it was like she knew there was something about her that was familiar to me, I said hi to her and she walked over and grabbed my hand, Pie said she knows I'm her new daddy too.

The lady told us good luck with Sabrina, I thought that was an odd thing to say, we left, and Pie put her in the car seat, and we headed home.

We got to the house and both our families were here, we came into the door, they all welcomed Sabrina into the family, Liz looked at Sabrina and picked her up, Sabrina hugged her around the neck, Liz said she has a new baby to take care of like she did with the twins. I noticed Maria staring at the baby, she walked up to me and said funny how we got a child that fits right in with the family and now she has a granddaughter to spoil, she'll take her shopping and get her only the best, after all she's now an Alexander, I told her and a Lattimore.

 Liz took the baby up to her room, Ekim asked me did I find out anything about Sabrina's mother, I told him no, Pie told us to forget about that Sabrina is our child now, now no more talk about her past. We went out back and enjoyed the families being here, Dyland said we're working on another set of kids, and he and EJ haven't even started on their first yet, I told him when they're ready they'll have kids, trust me it's a lot of work.

I looked over at Bash and he said don't even start with him, like I told Dyland, when he's ready he'll have kids or maybe he won't, anyway now he has a niece to spoil as well as his nephews.

Liz came back down and asked is Sabrina down here, she turned around, and she was gone, we went up to look for her, we found her in our bed asleep, Pie said she reminded him of PJ he would get in our bed and fall asleep. Pie said he'll go downstairs and tell everyone we found our baby; he left the room and I just stared at Sabrina, what is it about this child that seems so familiar to me.

Weeks went by and Pie is spoiling Sabrina, I played with her, but she didn't take to me the way she did with Pie, when Chandler would come around, she acted like she didn't want him around Pie, and she would hit Keith, Pie had to tell her we don't hit. Liz said she's just a baby leave her alone, Maria told us to get her straight now before she turns into a teen, and give us hell, like Pie tried with her.

Sabrina walked up to me and said ice cream, I said is she asking me or telling me, Liz said she's just a baby she doesn't know the difference, she took the baby and got her ice cream. I can see by Sabrina being our first girl, she's going to get what she wants at least from Pie.

I never questioned why no one adopted her and she's still a baby, most people want babies, and now we have her. Later we started a fire in the outdoor fireplace, Sabrina stared at the fire, I just watched her, I wonder why she's so fascinated about the fire, what does she see.

Pie said it's time for bed, Sabrina didn't want to go into the house, Liz came out and took her in, I told Pie I don't like that she's so upset about leaving the fire, we really need to know more about her family what happened that Sabrina is so fascinated with fire.

And why didn't anyone else want to adopt her, after all she's a baby girl everyone wants a baby, he said who cares we have her now and she needs love, and he doesn't want me worrying about her past, she has a future with us. Pie walked into the house, he's always pretending that nothing is wrong when it's right in front of him, I am going to find out more about this child and her family.

I went into the house and Pie is reading Sabrina a bedtime story, she waved for me to come into the room, I did and held her while Pie read to her, she fell asleep and I just watched her sleeping, Pie said we look so cute together she was meant to be with us.

I told Pie we do have a connection with her, I do know that I laid her down, Pie tucked her in, we closed the door and went to our room. I didn't tell Pie this, but sometimes I don't feel comfortable around Sabrina, I can feel that somethings not right. I hate saying that about a child, I'll have to wait and see what I find out about Sabrina's family, and I still can't get it out of my mind when we got her that the woman at the adoption agency told us good luck with Sabrina, who says that.
