Be My Forever [COMPLETE]

Chapter 113

After Valerie's appointment with her therapist, I began to work on my article. I spent an hour working on my drafts, and I came up with absolutely nothing.

What the hell do I know about remaining fashionable during motherhood?! When I was pregnant with Claire, I wasn't walking around in designer dresses and heels. I was wearing maternity shirts and the stretchiest pants I could find. When Valerie was a baby, I didn't spoil her with clothes and toys. I loved her and treated her like a normal baby.

I can't write this article. I can't work at Vogue. I can't do this.

"Mommy?" Valerie called from her bedroom. When we came home from her appointment, I put her down for a nap.

I made my way upstairs and went to her room. She was huddled under her blanket when I found her, and she was wide awake.

"What's going on, Valerie?" I asked, sitting on her bed.

"When can I go to school?" She asked. She woke up from her nap just to ask me that?

"Soon. Now, get some sleep."

"I'm not tired. Can I stay with you?" She asked.

"Of course, sweetie." I said, bringing her downstairs and continuing my work. I got a few pages done, but I still needed to edit it.

A few hours passed, and Toby came home when I expected him to. Except, he came in the house eager and excited for some reason.

"Spencer! I have some news!"

"What?" I asked, shocked by his eagerness.

"The adoption agency called. There's a baby boy.. His name is Dylan. They want us to adopt him."
