ANAÏS POV

I was playing outside afterschool with Kaley and a few of my other friends. Our ball rolled away through the bushes after Liam kicked it.

"Not it!" Kaley shouted. Everyone else copied, I was the last to say it therfore I WAS it.

I crawled through the bushes to get the ball.

"Anaïs Anaïs!" someone called me from up ahead.

I looked up, it was Joey, my social worker. He visits a lot.

"Come on, its time to go." he said.

I ran over and he helped me into the car. He pulled off and turned the corner.

"Wait! I left my bear." I shouted.

"We'll come get it later."

We got to his house and ate lunch together.

"Why are we here?" I asked.

He sighed.

"Your mommy wanted you to go with a new family now." he explained.

This brought tears to my eyes. Today was our mommy-daughter day, why didn't she want me anymore?

"Shh.. Don't worry though. Your new mommy is really nice." he assured me.

"Okay." I nodded reluctantly. I was sad that I wouldnt see my mommy anymore, but I was more angry that she didnt want me anymore.

"You have to get a new name though." he added.

"Why?"

"So it can be like a fresh start you know?"

"Oh okay."

"Your name is Anna Martin now." he informed.

"Is my second name staying as Felicity?" I asked.

"Yes Anna Felicity Martin."

"Anna sounds almost like Anaïs. And almost like Ana!" I giggled.

"Can you spell your name?"

"A-n-n-a F-e-l-i-c-i-t-y M-a-r-t-e-n." I spelled.

"M-a-r-t-i-n" he corrected.

"Whats my new mommy like?"

BEYONCÉ POV

Ring ring ring.

My phone rang.

I waited until it stopped, then checked the voicemail.

-Hi Ms. Knowles can you come down to the adoption agency? We have good news.

"Keisha!" I yelled.

"Yeah?" She came running in.

"We have to go to the adoption agency. I think they found a child for me!" I exclaimed.

We drove to the agency and signed in.

"Ms. Knowles?" the receptionist called out.

"Yes?"

"Head to room 4."

Keisha and I stood and walked to room 4 and found an adorable little girl inside.

"Hi cutie!" I smiled big at her.

"Hi, you look really nice." she smiled back.

"Whats your name?"

"Anna" she replied, her feet were swinging and her blue dress puffed out more with each kick.

"I love your name"
