Adopted By Rourtney

Day Trip

"Rise and Shine, Sleepyhead" I hear a man's voice and feel him gently shaking me. I slowly open my eyes to see Ross. I yawn and stretch as I sit up rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. I open the cover and look at him then pat the space next to me. "You want me to lay, well, sit beside you?" he asks. I nod as he does so. I wrap my arms around his torso and rest my head on his warm chest. "Will you speak for me? Just one word? Or something, please?" He begs with concern. I shake my head but hug him tighter. "Will you ever speak to us?"

I look at him and frown not knowing what to say or what to do.

"Breakfast, Buttercup" Courtney walks into the room and places a bowl of cereal, Lucky Charms, YAY, into my hands. I smile at her to say thank you and begin to eat breakfast.

"Juliet, do you wanna go on a day trip today?" Ross asks and I nod placing my empty bowl in his hands. "Swell, want me to help you get dressed?"

"Ross, that's my job, you go wash up" Courtney says.

"Fine, treating me like a slave" Ross mumbles making me hold in a laugh.

"You're my slave" Courtney winks.

"Am not! I'm no one's slave, I'm not your slave" Ross tells Courtney.

"Count to ten" Courtney requests.

"One, Two, Three, Four, Fi-HEYYY!!! That was sly!" Ross cuts himself off and smirks at her.

"I love you Babe, go on, wash up while I dress her" Courtney smiles to him as he smiles back before leaving my room. "We brought you some clothes yesterday, you like Bambi?" She asks me. I nod. "Good, you can wear this" She hands me fluffy pink jumper with Bambi on it. I smile in awe and hug it. "With..." She trails off searching through the clothes, "these" she gives me some pink sweatpants. She helps me put them on then she carries me into hers and Ross' room. It still smells weird. She places me on the bed and then starts to get dressed. I look at her then back at my body, my chest is different to hers, mine is more like Ross' because it's flat. "What's wrong?" She asks. I look up to see she is wearing all pink like me. I smile a little then go back to thinking. I look up at her and point to her chest then to mine hoping she understands what I'm trying to say.

"Oh, well..." She blushes, "umm...you'll get boobies too when you grow up, but this talk is for another time, when you're a lot older" She half smiles. I nod and hug her as she picks me up and carries me downstairs.

"There's my pink ladies" Ross puns.

"Yeah, yeah, Danny Zuko" Courtney rolls her eyes playfully as Ross pulls her into a side hug and kisses her cheek.

"I love you Babe" Ross smiles, "you too Juliet Capulet" he kisses my cheek. I give him a confused look. Capulet? That's not my last name. Who's Juliet Capulet? Is he replacing me with another girl called Juliet? "Oh, Juliet Capulet is a character, she's an angel. From Romeo and Juliet" He tells me. I tilt my head. "You don't know about Romeo and Juliet?" He asks. I shake my head. "It's only the greatest love story ever to have been written" He says. I point to him and Courtney. "You think me and Courtney are the best love story?" He asks and I nod making them both smile. "Thank you" He kisses my cheek. "Lately people haven't been very nice to me or to Courtney because we date. We want to adopt because not only does it give us good publicity but it'll prove to people we're a serious couple, in a serious relationship. I really love her and she loves me too, many people don't realise that and it hurts me, they say they love me but they obviously don't if they're hating on my girlfriend. Hurting her is what hurts me. Juliet, we love you so much, I hope you love us too. If we win the authority to legally adopt you as our daughter you wouldn't know how much that would mean to us. We'd tell the whole world about you" Ross kisses my cheek and he holds me close. I hug him back. "You're our angel, therefore our Juliet Capulet" He smiles. "We should all watch Romeo and Juliet when we get home"
