First home (a KickThePJ {PJ Liguori} story)

Chapter 3- Here and Now

It had been three days since PJ had come to Reddington. I hadn't snuck out since then. I was to busy dreaming about what it would be like to have a real family. And by family I mean PJ, of coarse.

What if he decided not to adopt anyone? Or not to Adopt me? Did we freak him out?
What the fuck did those little creeps tell him?!

I don't know.

It was 12 o'clock sharp. We were all sitting at our usual places at the dining room table eating the grilled cheese sandwiches that Beatrice had prepared for us. She has been acting quite pleasant since PJ had come to visit. But, the others, they weren't happy at all. Britta was the only other kid who was happy for me. She truly knew how much I hated Reddington.

Knock, knock.
There was someone at the door.

"Maddie, get the door." Beatrice said with a full mouth.

I Stood up and walked down the hall to the front door. I unlocked it and was surprised.

"PJ!" I jumped into his arms.

"Heyya Mads!" He hugged back. "Is Beatrice handy?"

"Um yeah we were just having lunch." I grabbed his hand and lead him into the dining room where the whole room looked at us in dead silence.

"Beatrice, I am here to speak to you and the children, if that's alright. Is this a bad time?" He said

"No no that's fine, go ahead." She pointed to my seat, signaling for me to sit back down.

I took my seat and PJ followed and stood behind my chair.

"I have made my decision since last time I was here." He said. Everyone tensed up and sat up straight. "I have chosen to adopt Maddie, here" he sat his hand on my head.

I jumped up and hugged him. Tears rolled down my face as I laughed.

"I'm sorry. I got your shirt all tearie." I pulled away.

"No worries, love."

"Would you like a grilled cheese?" I asked him.

"Sure." He giggled. I reached down to my sandwich that had a single bite taken out of if. He proceeded to take a bit from the opposite side. "Thank you." He laughed.

"Any time!"

"Beatrice, if you don't mind i will be taking her home with me tonight?" He said. I gasped, as did everyone else.

No one ever leaves on the same day. He must really want me to be his kid. No one has ever wanted me to belong to them before. It feels good and bad at the same time. Like what about Britta? I mean I can come and see her and take her out for lunch and stuff but I'm going to miss sharing a room with her.

"Oh yes that would be fine." Beatrice said after a few moments. "You to can go up to her room and start to get her stuff. Maddie knows where some boxes are."

PJ nodded and I showed him to my room.

"And here is my room. Well, Britta and my shared room." I motioned to her bed.

"Now, where are the boxes?" He asked.

"There is a closet in the hall. First door to the left." I said. He nodded and came back with some empty boxes.
