You Are In Love | Jo Wilson (Grey's Anatomy)

001 | A Day Of Questions And Arguement's

Adelaide Shepherds had spent the night round her best friend, Beatrice's place after a long and intense phone call with her older sister Kathleen, she never really had a good bond with any of her siblings apart from Amelia, she always felt like most of them forgot about her, especially after their father died when she was 2 and a half years old. Everyone expected her to be fine but Adelaide wasn't, she never really knew her dad but she felt like that didn't matter to some of her siblings and her mother. Of course She loved her mom and her siblings but she still hated the fact she was practically invisible to them.

"You okay Kori?" Beatrice asked Adelaide as they both got into the car to head to the hospital. Adelaide was already dreading the day as she knew Derek would most likely question her about the call she had with Kathleen which she didn't want to think or talk about because it would only cause more argument's and she wasn't ready for that. She wasn't ready to talk about her son which somehow her mother and Kathleen had found out about and most likely the rest of the family have done by now.

"Dreading today. I really don't want any more arguments. I've already had missed calls from Amelia, Derek's texted me a million times, Lizzie and Nancy have both tried calling too. I just want to know how they found about Connor. I never even told the father" Adelaide sighed already feeling overwhelmed with all the questions. She never wanted anyone to find out about Connor, not that she was ashamed of him, she just knew her mother would be ashamed of her. It was one of the reasons she left as soon as she could, she was 16, she dropped out of school and moved out of state and re-enrolled else where, all so her family could never find out about her child.

"Keep your head up Kori' you did what was best for you and that little boy. You have nothing to be ashamed of or feel bad about." Beatrice smiled glancing over to her friend who nodded slowly. Of course Beatrice was right but she couldn't help but feel like everyone was ashamed of her for hiding the fact she hid the fact she had a baby.

"I did what I thought was best for him, I couldn't give him the life he deserved. I was only 16, me and his dad we were reckless at the time, underage drinking and going to party's. I didn't want to screw Connor's life up before he had the chance to live it so as soon as I gave birth, I named him and gave him up." Adelaide admitted to her friend, she hadn't really told anyone about how she behaved as a teen, parts of it she was ashamed of herself but never has she been ashamed of bringing her son into the world even if she wasn't the one raising him.

"You don't have to explain yourself to me Kori' I know you would have done what you thought was best" Beatrice smiled a soft smile as she waits for the traffic light to turn so she could continue to drive.

"He'd be turning 13 soon. He'd be a teenager. Sometimes I wonder what he would be like now, I wonder if he still has those beautiful blue eyes I loved so much" Adelaide admits.

"Then other times I try and think about what he would be like. I see him fighting the stereotypes and loving dance, he'd have won trophies and titles, he'd probably be the only boy on his dance company's competition team but he wouldn't care because he's doing something he loves. He would also be creative, art and writing would be his main hobbies along side dance and he would probably be good at them too" Adelaide continued as she told Beatrice what she thought Connor would be like, of course she couldn't be too sure what he is like but she'd like to imagine him, he would be happy that's all she did know.

"He sounds like he would be a talented young boy" Beatrice smiled as she listened to Adelaide talk about her son, she knew that Adelaide didn't talk about her son, she didn't even know she had a son until she got the call the previous night asking if she was free because she needed to talk.

"I think he would be, really, really talented" Adelaide nodded slowly. She liked the thought of talking about her son, about how she thought he would be.
