Chapter 12

Emma woke up in the middle of the night, she got up and went out to the hallway and walked over to Claire's and Virgil's room, she opens the door and walks over to Claire and taps her on the shoulder.

Claire wakes up and looks to Emma and asked her. "Emma what's wrong?"

She was frightened. "I... I can't sleep"

Claire moves over to let Emma climb in. "Come on Emma"

Emma climbs in and falls back to sleep, Virgil had just got back from a mission. He went to his and Claire's room to find both Emma and Claire asleep, he went to the bathroom to get charged then he climbs into bed and puts his arm over Claire and Emma.

Claire wakes up and says. "Sorry Emma couldn't sleep"

He smiles and whispers. "That's ok I just got back"

Claire nods gently. "Tell me about it in the morning"

The next morning Virgil, Emma and Claire went down to the kitchen to get some breakfast, Scott was already in the kitchen making breakfast.

Claire says. "Good morning Scott"

Scott turns and replies. "Good morning Claire, Emma, Virgil"

Claire sat at the table with Virgil on one side of her and Emma on the the other side. Scott brought them breakfast and sat opposite them.

Virgil says to Emma and Claire. "Emma, Claire how does a day of art sound?"

Emma says. "I like to draw"

Claire chuckles and says. "I think that's a good idea Virgil"

Scott says. "As for me I got some paperwork to go through"

Virgil had finished his breakfast and he put his arm around Claire, she was still feeling nauseous, she had already throwen up twice before Emma woke up, Claire leans against Virgil and she puts her hand on her tummy and Virgil puts his hand on top of hers.

Scott noticed and asked. "Are you ok Claire?"

She looks to and replies. "Yeah I'm fine thank you"

Virgil whisper's to Claire. "I'll see if Brains can find a good remedy"

She nods thanking Virgil. "Ok thank you Virgil"

Emma finished her breakfast and Claire took Emma to her room, and helps her to have a wash and get dressed.

Claire say says. "Emma go and find Virgil while I go and get washed and dressed"

Emma nods. "Ok Claire"

Emma left and went to find Virgil, Claire went to hers and Virgil's room to get washed and dressed, once she finished Claire went to find Virgil and Emma and she finds them in Virgil art studio.

She says. "Hey sorry if I took too long"

Virgil turns to Claire and replies. "That's ok I was about to teach Emma how to use oil paints"

Nodding Claire went to storage cupboard. "Ok I'll get a sketch pad and pencils to do some drawing"

Claire got a sketch pad and pencil, she sits down and watched Virgil teaching Emma. Claire puts her hand on her tummy and thinks to herself.

Claire's thoughts.

Virgil is already a great dad and I know that he will continue to be a great dad when the baby is born.

She was brought out of her thoughts by someone putting their hand on top of hers, she looks up to see Virgil sitting next to her with his hand on top of hers.

He asked. "What are you thinking about?"

She smiles. "I was thinking how your already an amazing father and how you will continue be when our baby arrives"

Virgil smiles from ear to ear. "Thank you... you are an amazing mother to Emma and your going to be an amazing mother when our little one arrives"

Claire kisses Virgil and after they part Claire says. "I'll go and see if there's any letters for us"

He nods. "Ok I'm going to help Emma"

Claire leaves and went to the living room to find Scott sitting at his desk, she walks over and says. "Hi Scott... is there any letters for me and Virgil?"

Scott looks up and says. "Hi Claire... yeah there is"

Scott hands Claire the letter and she opens it to see the paperwork for the adoption and Scott asked. "What is it?"

She looks up from letter. "It's the paperwork for the adoption, the adoption is finalized"

He smiles. "Congratulations"

She nods. "Thank you Scott"

Claire puts her hand on her tummy, Scott see's and thinks to himself.

Scott's thoughts.

Could Claire be pregnant..., first she was throwing up and now this...

Scott was brought out of his throuhts.

Claire says. "I better go Virgil is teaching Emma how to paint with oil paints"

He nods. "Ok have fun"

Claire leaves and went back to the art studio and sits down to watch Virgil teach their daughter, Virgil turns to see Claire had come back and he walks over sits next to her.

He asked her. "Hey... did we have any letters?"

She smiles and nods. "Yes we do"

Claire hands Virgil the letter and he has a look then kisses Claire and after they part he says. "Emma can you come over here please, Claire and me have something to tell you"

Emma puts her paint brush down, wash's and drys her hands then walks over and sits down.

Virgil says. "Emma from today Claire and me are your mother and father"

It takes a few minutes then Emma gets up and hugs Virgil and Claire, Virgil had his arms wrapped around them both.

Emma says. "My new mum and dad... I love you both mum and dad"

Both Virgil and Claire say together. "We love you too Emma, our daughter"

Virgil and Claire smile and Claire says. "We also have something else to tell you"

Emma waits then Virgil says. "Your going to be a big sister"
