Black Rose

My Heart

Dr. Slater looks at Alice's parents with shock. The parents stare back at him with eaqual shock. "Um..." the doctor says, his voice shakey. Jane pulls Alice up higher on her lap, moving Alice from her laying position into a sitting one, making her head rest on Jane's shoulder. "Can you...just finish the check up please? We...we need to get back home." Jane says shakily without breath. Slater nods his head and continues with the tests. He takes some blood samples and checks her ears, nose, breathing, all that jazz. "Okay. We need to take her for some scans but I'm sure we can schedule it for another date, yes?" Slater asks. Matt and Jane nod mutely and stand.

Jane shifts a semi conscious Alice so she lays her head on Jane's shoulder and Slater tells a nurse to schedule them in for the next appointment. "Alright. Your next appointment is on April 7th. That's roughly two weeks from now. See you then?" he says and smiles a strained smile at the couple. Jane and Matt nod and thank him, walking out of the room and to the waiting room. "Ugh. Finally. What took so long?" Chelsea asks as her and her brothers stand, following their parents outside to the car. "Just get in the car. Don't make any noise, Alice is slightly dazed right now." Matt answers and they enter the car. Jane stays holding Alice in her arms, where she eventually falls asleep, on the drive home.

~~ an hour later~~

The family enters the house in silence. Outside, the sky gets darker as it transitions from evening to night. When they enter the house, Jane goes up the stairs and lays Alice down on her bed, tucking her in and kissing her forehead. Then Jane sits on the bed by her, looking at Alice with a sad look. Matthew comes in a few minutes after that and sits by his wife. Downstairs, Chelsea, Alex and Michael sit down to watch tv. "I don't see why they look so sad. I'm sure rheir precious little freak is in tip top shape." Chels says and rolls her eyes in a huff. Mike laughs and shakes his head," She annoys the fuck outta me. She acts like she's all high and mighty. It honestly pisses me off."

"Well, you know what they say about attention seekers. They'll do anything for it." Alex completes their talking session. With Matt and Jane, they stare down at their daughter in a mix of sadness and dispair. "What did she mean by all that? What types of things were done to her before she came to us?" Jane says quietly. Matt rubs her arm and shakes his head," I don't know. We'll have to tell her therapist about this though. And the police; they still haven't found her parents." he says. Jane nods and they agree to call her in the morning. After sitting there i silence for a few minutes, they finally decide to get up and leave. They walk downstairs and go into where their other children are watching the tv. "Alright. Time to sleep guys." Matt says and turns off the television. The children all grumble but walk to their rooms and close the door.

Matthew and Jane walk to their room and get ready for bed. After that, they lay down beside each other and Jane slides into Matthew's arms. "It'll be okay Jane. We'll get through this. We'll get her through it too." he says and kisses her forehead. Jane sighs and stays quiet. After some minutesn they fall asleep together. All in the house is quiet.

~~TO SE FBI PEOPLES~~

Haleson looks over the files that are splayed upon her desk. Her eyes twitch in annoyance at the sight of the 'unknown's that are in the file.

Name:
Alice Rain BlackRose.
Birth name:
Alice Rain Niyotta.
Birth parents:
unkown.
Place of birth:
unkown.
Date of birth:
6/13/30
Adoptive parent:
Matthew Nowaki BlackRose and Jane Misaki BlackRose.

Almost every single thing on the file is an unknown, save for a few basics. The child had the background of someone who worked for the government or CIA. What was failing to come to Haleson's comperhension was how an eight year old could aquire such a file. She sat at the desk of her office, looking at the file and tried to figure out Alice's life. At that moment, her partner walks into the room. "Still looking over that file?" Jason says and hands her a coffee cup filled with french vanilla hot chocolate. Haleson groans and shakes her head, taking a sip of her drink," I just don't understand. This child has more unknowns than us combined, and we've been in the army and CIA. And we've been spies. How the hell does she have more unknowns than us? What the hell happened in her life?"
