SHAWN
NOT EDITEDafter 2 years of driving-- I'm kidding. It was like an hour and a half. Anyways, I parked the car and everyone got out quickly.
My heart is pounding out of my chest and I've gotta say, I've worked up a sweat.
"You ready?" Cameron asked. I shook my head. I'm not anywhere near ready but, it's too late to turn back now.
"Don't worry kid, we gotchu." Nash smiled. I smiled in return.
"Thanks guys." They nodded and waved me off.
I opened up the doors and walked in. This is... Depressing. At least I'll be taking her out of this horrible place.
There was a lot of little kids running around. Like a lot of little kids. They're all so energetic and adorable!
"Can I help you, young men?" A lady with a stern voice said and we turned to face her. She was dressed as a nun with a nasty look on her face.
"I'm looking to adopt." I said, the guys nodded.
"This way." She turned around and motioned for us to follow her. We looked at each other.
Cameron shrugged and pushed me forward. I took the lead and followed her into a small room just down the hall.
She sat down in a computer chair them grabbed a bunch of papers and folders.
"How old are you?" She asked.
"19" I replied.
"What are you looking to adopt?"
"A girl." I said.
"Here's a folder of every girl that we have here in this facility." She handed me the folder and I opened it.
I searched through the folder for 'the one' for around 5 minutes. A little girl with curly brown hair and brown eyes and the most precious smile ever, that's the one. That's my little girl!
"Her.." I said with a huge smile. She chuckled. I looked up at her and she took the folder.
"Ellie is such a sweet girl, you'll love her." She said. I looked at the guys and they were smiling at my excitement.
The lady pressed a button that's attached to a microphone on the wall and spoke into it.
"Ebony, gather Ellie and her thing and bring her to the main office."
"Yes, ma'am."
"I need you to sign some papers. Then you can leave with Ellie. I also need to see your ID." She said, I nodded.
I pulled out my wallet then took my ID out of it. I handed it to her.
"Sign next to the Xs." She said, handing me some papers.
After like 3 or 4 minutes, I finished signing and she gave me like a certificate I guess you could call it.
I looked at it. It's her birth certificate, her original last name was sanders.
"Here's a new birth certificate, sign this and you need to keep the original just in case. Id advise you to keep her new birth certificate in your wallet." I nodded, signing it.
"Ellie Mendes." I whispered to myself. Has a ring to it.
I folded up the certificates and put them in my wallet. Just as she told me too.
One of the guys tapped on my shoulder. I turned around and looked at them. They moved out of the and there she was.
My little girl.
My beautiful little girl.
"Ellie, this is your new family." The lady said. She smiled and her face lit up with joy.
"I have a family?" She asked and I nodded, kneeling down to meet her gaze.
She dropped her suitcase and ran over to me. She hugged me tightly, I hugged her just as tight.
"I-I'm Shawn.. I'm your.. --"
"Father." The lady cut in. Ellie pulled away and smiled widely. Gosh she's adorable.
"Alright, I'd imagine you want to get home and get settled in. Off with you, now." The lady smiled. Ellie hugged her.
Matt grabbed her suitcase and she held my hand firmly. I smiled down at her. Her hand is so small, she's so tiny.
I thanked the woman and we left the building. Ellie skipped, happily.
I opened the door for her and she sat in the booster seat we had set up for her.
"I'll drive, you can sit with her?" Matt said, kind of asking. I nodded and smiled at him. He smiled back.
I sat down next to her and buckled her in, then buckled myself. Normally I wouldn't wear a seatbelt but I need to set an example.
Now that I think about it, a lot of things are gonna have to change back at the house.
No more swearing and no parties. No drinking, no drugs-- especially Jack G and Sammy.
Oh! I was supposed to ask her what her favorite color is.
"Hey Ellie, what's your favorite color?" I asked. She looked up at me and thought for a second.
"Black and blue!" She said happily. Same kid. I smiled and nodded. I pulled out my phone then texted mahogany.
S: her favorite colors are black and blue
M: k"Are you my dad?" She asked. I turned off my phone and looked at her with the biggest smile.
I looked at the guys and they nodded.
"Y-yeah, I'm your dad." I said, God, as weird as it sounds, It feels amazing to say that.
She hugged me tightly. I hugged her back. Matt took a picture.
"What's that?" She asked pointing at my phone.
"It's my phone, do you wanna play a game on it?" I asked and she nodded her quickly.
I unlocked my phone and looked through the AppStore. I found a princess pet game and downloaded it for her.
I showed her how to play and she played that and I let her download a few other games too.
She loves it! It's crazy to think that she's never seen a phone before.
"Dad look!" She said excitedly. My heart fluttered at the sound of her calling me her dad.
I laughed at what she showed me and she laughed with me.
I can't believe I'm a father.
