'Presley pov'

I woke up to an empty bed again. Cyrus must be with Skyler. I rolled over on to Wes's side of the bed and inhaled his scent. Thank god he's going to be home tommorow, I miss him so much. I got up and had a quick shower before getting changed into a pair of white, skinny, sweatpants with a checked shirt and brown sandals. I left my hair down letting it go curly. I put on a bit of makeup and went downstairs. I entered the sitting room to find Skyler and Cyrus cuddled up on the couch eating some toast and watching television. 'good morning guys' I said happily. 'hiya' Cyrus chirped. 'mornin' Skyler added. Cyrus took a slice of toast and handed it towards me. 'aww thank you baby' I said gently taking it from him. 'aww you're adorable' Skyler chimed as my cellphone rang. 'who could that be?' I said making a funny face to Cyrus causing him to giggle. I walked into the kitchen and picked up my phone. It was an unknown ID. I answered anyway.

'Hello?' I said.

'Hello, Is this Presley Scott?' a woman replied.

'Yes, this is she'

'Great, My name is Marie Austen from Kinship adoption center. We had a visit from your boyfriend, Mr Wesley Stromberg, last week about an abandoned baby at your doorstep, is that right?' she said and my body stiffened. Its the adoption center Wes was at last week when the mother hadn't returned for Cyrus. Wes said they would collect him in a week or so but I didn't think it would be this soon.

'Hello? Miss Scott are you there?' the woman asked bringing me back to reality.

'oh....um yes. The abandoned baby' I replied.

'well your boyfriend didn't know much about him then so I was wondering if you could talk to me a little bit, answer some questions?' she said.

'um.....sure' I replied.

'okay, so can you start off by telling me his , age, eye color, hair, color, skin color and clothes size' she asked not making any sense. Why does she need to know all that? his clothes size? skin color?

'His name is Cyrus, um he's currently 11 months old and will be a year in two weeks, on July 2nd. He has brown eyes, black hair and um black skin' I answered shakily.

'okay, and clothes size?' she asked.

'why?' I snapped.

'calm down Miss Scott. I am only doing my job. We need to know his clothes size for the family that will adopt him' she replied.

'I don't know his clothes size. I make his clothes for him' I answered sternly.

'okay, now can you tell me what you know about the parents?' she asked.

'I just know that the mother left a note saying his name and age, asking us to take care of him until she returns one day, but she is only a kid herself' I replied.

'right okay, I will talk with my boss and get back to you to you about collecting him' she said which really made my heart stop. I don't want him to go. I was in such shock that I just hung up without saying anything. I set my phone on the table and began to fell tears form in my eyes. 'Pesely!!' Cyrus called. I quickly wiped away my tears as he ran towards me laughing. 'hey little guy' I said picking him up and holding him tightly in my arms. 'go out dere' he said pointing out the back window to the garden. 'yeah let's go out there buddy' I said putting him down as he grabbed my hand pulling me out the back with him. Skyler then joined us. I sat down on the bench with Skyler while Cyrus played with a football. 'who was on the phone' she asked. I looked down holding back my tears. 'the adoption center' I mumbled and Skyler gasped. 'they're coming to get him' I added letting a year fall from my eyes. 'when?' she asked. 'I don't know they said that they would call' I replied wiping away my tears.'I don't wanna let him go Skyler' I admitted. ' you have no choice Presley, you should of got rid of him when he first came' she said making a point but also sending me over the top. 'how can you say that? get rid of him? like he's some piece of trash' I yelled walking inside with Cyrus as my phone rang again and the was Wes.
