Something More || A Morrilla Story

Part 17

Lana's POV:
I jump out of the car and run after Jen who is sobbing and trying to catch up to Sara. After few seconds, Jen stops and sobs into her hands. I approach her and rub her back soothingly. "Its okay, she will be fine. Its just shocking to hear and I'm sure she will be okay soon." I say. "I didn't want to tell her that way though! So thanks to you, we just lost our daughter!" She yelled at me and tears stung my eyes, not believing what I heard. Jen takes off again running into the woods and I go after her, not trying to let what she said hurt me, knowing that she's struggling right now. "Sara!" We both yell, trying to locate her, but we don't hear or see anything. We stop and look around for a minute, before our eyes lock on each others. Jen grabs my hands "I'm so sorry baby, I didn't mean anything that I said." She says apologetically. "Its okay, I know your having a tough time with this but just wait, she will come around." I reply and that's when we hear a twig snap. We snap oir heads to the right and look for something that caused the sudden sound, but neither of us see anything. Jen still holds my hands, and our eyes lock on each others once more. "I love you" she says. "I love you too, now let's find our daughter." I reply

Jen's POV:
We've been searching for at least two hours now, and we haven't seen any sign of Sara. Lana and I are starting to get worried when we came upon a clear opening amongst the trees. We sprint over, and find Sara, sitting on a fallen tree, looking down into the grass. "Let me go talk to her." I say and walk over to my daughter. Its still weird saying that, my daughter... I sit down next to her. "Hey." I say quietly. "Hey." She replies and its silent for a few more moments. "You had us worried kid." I say trying to remain calm. "I know, I'm sorry, I've never done anything like that before, I don't know what got into me." she says. "Sara, I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for giving you up, I'm sorry for letting you go. I'm sorry for not being there for you, I'm sorry we told you the way we did, we just didn't know how to tell you." I say tears streaming down my face and I look over and through my tears, I see her crying too. "You only gave me up because that's what you had to do. Of course I'm angry at you but deep down inside, I can't help but love you. You're my mom, I can't stay angry at you forever. This whole thing is just so new to me, and I never imagined my mom being Jennifer freaking Morrison. Its amazing, it really is, but I never thought my mom would be the person I looked up to the most, the person who helped me get through the hell of living in foster homes." She says. I pull her close, her head resting on my chest as I stroke her hair. "I know honey, I'm trying to get used to this too. I want this to work and so does Lana and I'm sure you do too. We are going to help you no matter who you are. Even if you weren't my biological daughter, we still would have adopted you, but because you are, that just makes you even more special to us." I say to her. I look over at Lana, who has a smile on her face and has tears streaming down her cheeks. "I love you and so does Lana. Its going to take some time to get used to, but we love you and want this to work." I say and Sara looks up at Lana and smiles. Sara gets up and walks over to her and I follow. She surprises me by grabbing my wrist towards Lana and she pulls us in for a group hug.

Lana's POV:
I began crying when Jen pulled Sara to her chest and Sara didn't fight it. The moment between the two of them was so sweet, and I couldn't help myself. After a few minutes, Sara smiles at me before standing up and walking over to me, Jen following her. She grabs Jen's wrist and pulls us in for a group hug. "You ready to go home now?" I ask when we pull away and I stroke her beautiful long brown hair. Damn she looks so much like her mother! I say to myself. Sara's eyes lock on mine and she hugs me, before all three of us begin our walk to the car with our arms rapped around each others waists as we walk. I smile, taking in the moment, not worrying about work or getting a flight home. I had my favorite girl with me, and a daughter who I knew was starting to love. I take a deep breath and take in the fresh air, a huge smile on my face and we make our way out of the woods and back to the car.
