The Best Twin Ever

Chapter 19

Natty's POV-

   I carry Thomas up stairs and lay him on my bed. I pull the covers up over him and he mumbles something I couldn't understand. I turn off the light and close the door. When I finally got back downstairs Nash stood up and tok my hand into his.

"Natty, are you sure you want to take that child into your own care?"

"Yes Nash. I'm ready to take this baby boy into my care."

"What about the parents?" Cam asked.

"I don't know yet.... but I want to take care of Thomas."

"Adoption?" Jack J spoke up.

"Maybe." I say with confidence.

"We need to do something about the parents." Shawn said concerned.

"What do you expect me to do Shawn. Call the police and let them take Thomas away?!" I said uncontrolled.

"That's what's best for him Natty." Jack G said looking at his fingers.

"I'm not letting that little boy go. He called me mommy for Heavens sake!" I say starting to cry.

Cam hugged me and whispered in my ear, "He can be ours."

   This made me calm down a bit. I turn to Nash and he looks at me.

"This is our boy. Guys we will take care if him." I say lookinf at every body.

"Natty, think of what you're doing." Hayes said.

"I want this child Hayes." I say.

He put his hands up in surrender. Then I think of Magcon. We leave tomorrow.

"Oh no." I say rushing to my room.

I sling the door open waking up Thomas.

"Is it mworning ywet?"

"No Thomas. Just go back to sleep Mommy is packing."

"Fwor what?"

"Shh... baby just go back to sleep."

"Otay." He said with a yawn.

  I pull out my teal suitcase and pack two weeks worth of clothes. Then gather a few things for Thomas and I for the plane. Dangit.... Thomas doesn't have a ticket. I get my wallet out of my purse and pull out $97. Not enough. I rumage through my room looking for loose money. All I found was $3.02. Darn-it. I walk downstairs and the guys were gone. I went to Nash's room and he was packing.

"Nash we need $30 for Thomas a ticket."

"Ummm.... I might have $20. Let me check."

Nash looks in his wallet and pulls out a twenty.

"Thanks."

I walk over to Hayes's room.

"I need $15 for Thomas."

"Is he coming with us?!"

"Yes. Now give me $15. Nash gave me $20."

Hayes gets his wallet and pulls out a ten.

"What about the five?"

"Forget it Natty. This child will be taken away."

I walk out of the room ignoring what he said. When I walk in Thomas was not in the bed. I look in my closet. No Thomas. I look under my bed. No Thomas.

"Thomas, honey, where are you at?"

"B-b-bwafroom."

I rush in there to see him naked sitting in the tub. He was crying and peeing in the tub. I get a towel and pick him up after he was finshed and held him tight to my body.

"Mwommy?"

"Yes Thomas?"

"Where is Daddy?"

"He went home to pack baby."

"I want Daddy."

"It's ok. Now lets put you clothes back on and go night night."

I put his clothes on him and carried him to my bed. I lay him in my bed like I had before and crawled in the bed with him. Thomas snuggled my chest and I rubbed his head.

"It's ok baby. Mommy is home." I whisper in my calming voice.

     Before I went to sleep I thought of being a real mother. My parents would be proud. Gee... I wish they were here. Thomas and I are the same. No parents.
