Finally Home (Omeeka Adoption Story)

Chapter 2

Nicki POV
We were laying in bed eating brownies together.
"Why did you adopt me?" She asked taking a bite out of her brownie.
"Because, I love you and everything about you. I always wanted a daughter, you know a little mini me." I said and she laid under me.
"Nicki, I don't want to call you mom anymore..." She said and sat up.
"Why not? Please don't tell me I did anything wrong." I said and she slowly moved away from me.
"But I do have a mom. She's dead and she's never coming back." She's started to cry I went to grab her but she ran to her room. I went after her and her door wasn't locked so I went in.
"We need to talk baby girl." I said walking to the chair next to her bed. I sat down and she looked at me.
"You were just fine downstairs, what's wrong?" I asked and she wiped her tears.
"It feels like your going to make me forget about my mom. I know that's not what your trying to do but I, I don't know." She said and I sighed.
"God blessed you with two mothers. Your birth mom to watch over you from above and me to watch over you here." I said and she nodded.
"I'm sorry ma, I never thought of it that way." She said and I nodded.
"You'll never forget your mom okay? Just like I'll never forget my daughter. They will be always in our hearts." I said and moved over to sit on her bed. I could tell she was a little taken away by what I said.
"What do you mean?" She asked sitting up next to me.
"When my daughter was seven months old she somehow suffocated, and my ex boyfriend blamed it on me for losing our baby girl. That's why we're no longer together." I explained.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I never knew that..." I quickly left the her room before she could see me cry and went to mine. I closed both doors, turned off all the lights and laid down. I cried thinking about her, she was the light of my life.
Cameron POV
I could hear my mom crying as I stood into the of her door. I opened it and turned the lamp on that was next to her bed.
"Mom you okay?" I asked and she turned facing me.
"Yeah I'm fine." She said and her eyes looked so red and her cheeks had dried tears on them. I turned the lamp down on a lower setting so it was dim. I laid next to her and she wrapped her arms around me and kissed my forehead. I turned and wiped her tears.
"I bet my sister wouldn't want to see you cry. I don't either." I said and she sighed.
"Go in my drawer in the closet and get my brush." She said and I went in the closet and looking in the drawers cause there was so many so I opened the drawer that was halfway opened and saw a photo album. I looked through the closet door and my mom was on her phone laying down. I went through the light pink photo album. I saw pictures of a baby girl. She was so beautiful, one of the cutest chunky little babies I've seen in my life.
"Why are you looking through that?" My mom asked, I jumped up and put the book behind my back.
"I was looking for the brush..." I said and she walked toward me and snatched the scrapbook and threw it back in the drawer causing one picture to fall out.
"Ma the picture fell." I said and picked it up. I looked at it for a second. It's was my mom in a hospital bed holding the baby, she looked so happy. I nervously handed the picture to her and she took it. She sat down not taking her eyes off the picture.
"Ma come on, let's go to sleep." I said putting my arm around her so she could stand up. I slowly took the picture out of her hand and she walked and got into bed. I put the picture back into the book and left the closet going back into the room. I got in the bed next to my mom and saw that she was crying because the light of the moon was shining in her face. She had tears coming out of her eyes but she wasn't making a sound. I reached over and wiped her tears. But she got up abruptly. I went to follow her to make sure she was alright.
"Don't follow me. I'm not in the mood." She said and I went to sleep in my own room.
•••
I woke up at about three o'clock and went in my mom room to check on her but she wasn't in there. I went downstairs and checked the living room and she was laid down on the couch shivering. I ran upstairs into my linen closet and got a blanket and took a pillow off my bed. I went back downstairs and put the pillow under her head then I laid the blanket gently over her. I kissed her cheek and turned off the tv before going back upstairs. It took me a while to fall asleep because I was worried about my mom.
(In the morning)
Nicki POV
"Mommy you up?" I hear Cameron ask sweetly from the kitchen.
"Yeah." I said walking into the kitchen to see what she was doing. She was making a parfait.
"I'm so sorry for the way I acted last night. I'm not usually like that. It's just when I think about her..." she cut me off, giving me a hug.
"It's okay. I know how you feel. You just needed sometime alone. It's fine but let's do something fun today." She said and I sighed in relief she wasn't mad at me. She handed me my food.
"Did you eat yet baby?" She hesitated before answering.
"I'm not hungry, I'll eat later on." She seemed a little off to me.
"You okay? You seen a little... tense." I said and she shrugged and went upstairs. I had a feeling she wasn't telling me something. But I brushed it off.
"Oh and tomorrow we're going on our jet to meet your grandmother!" I yelled so she could hear me from upstairs.
