A week went by really fast and so as to not scare Maisie and Abby, James took the kids out for the day to give me and Connor a chance to get to know Maisie and Abby and so that they could settle in and get used to their new surrounding.

"Be good for uncle James." I said morning of picking Maisie and Abby up

"We will." Lilly said

"Good." I said smiling.

The kids left and it was just me and Con left in the house.

We got the girls room sorted and made sure everything was okay.

"what time we picking them up?" I asked

"1." Con said

"Okay." I said

We left a little earlier and had something to eat on the way. We had to go to taunton to pick them up.

"Okay babe." Con asked me as we pulled up out side a beautiful house just outside Taunton.

"Yeah." I said

"Feels a bit like when we picked Grace up for the first time." I said looking at him

"Yeah it does a bit." Con said smiling we looked at each other for a second then got out the car.

I walked round to Connor's side of the car and took hold of his hand.

"Come on." He said smiling

I took a deep breath and we walked up to the front door.

This was different to getting Ben he was dropped off we were having to pick up Maisie and Abby. Ben was a lot older Maisie and Abby are only 4 still so young and having just lost their parents it's going to be a bit scary for them.

It was going to be weird having 6 children running around the house.

Me and Connor looked at each other for a second.

"Let's do this." Con said

"Yeah." I said

Deep breath in and we knocked on the door.

A tall gentleman with gray hair opened the door

"Rhianne and Connor?" He said

"Yeah." I said

"Do come in. I'm Peter. They're right in here." Peter said

"Thank you." Con said he was still holding my hand

"This is my wife Mollie." Peter said pointing to a lady sat on the sofa, Mollie had a kind face with bright red cheeks.

"Hello." Me and Connor said

"This is Maisie." Peter said pointing to a little girl sat by the fire place playing with some dolls.

"And this is Abby." Mollie said Abby was sat on mollies knee and they were reading Peter Pan.

"Hello." I said going over to Maisie

"Hello." She said getting up and going over to Peter and taking hold of his hand

"Come on girls let's go get our guests some drinks." Mollie said

Mollie and the girls left and it was just me, con and Peter.

"Are these your first foster children?" Peter asked

"No. We've had a range from 3 months up to 13. Our most recent was a little boy 11 who was adopted by close friends of ours." I said smiling
