"Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued,is always just beyond your grasp,but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight up on you" Nathaniel Hawthorne

The butterfly orphanage lounge was quite as usual. But upstairs it was a different story. All the kids were gathered in the play room doing what they do best. Fighting over a toy, playing, anoying each other, and some of them singing out of tune. Though Mrs. Hayden- the assigned babysitter of the kids didn't mind all the noises. In fact She enjoyed it. Mrs. Hayden was the second daughter of the founder of the orphanage Mrs. Lydia johnson and loved working at the orphanage, Playing and taking care of the kids. She was never lucky to have her own. After her beloved husband died hayden asked her mother to work with her at the butterfly, and ofcourse lydia agreed.

The butterflies was a well organised and well managed orphanage. Well, it has many helps from different charity organisations and ellite people. The 4 story building located in the south of Hampton was more than enough for the 32 children and the full time stuff working there. For Mrs. Lydia it was like having a big family that she adored.The latest addition to this family was the very cute ginger head little girl. The police stopped by at the orphanage with the eight month old little bundle of joy 3 weeks ago. There was a car accident which left two people dead, and a child an orphan. There was no relative or a freind to take care for the poor child. So now at the butterflies this little girl is the youngest of them all and was named Lavinia. Lavinia was short for Hypoleria lavinia- smallish in size butterflies, and can be recognised by their distinctive hindwing venation, scalloped orange borders on the forewings and dark droping antennae. The little ginger head wasn't the only one named after a butterfly, Mrs. Lydia loved naming the children after butterflies.

Alexis,Amelia,Ismeria,Nica,Aaron,Vannessa and Nova were all butterfly related names.
Lydia loved the kids like they were her own. She didn't give up kids for adoption so easily. It would take weeks or even years to convince the mother of butterflies to give up a kid. She wouldn't agree if she wasn't 100% certain that the children will be happier and more comfortable there than the orphanage. But the request that came a week ago was the 1st she accepted without blinking an eye. It would be an ungrateful act if Mrs. Lydia didn't accept the offer from such a wonderful soul. The mother of butterflies trusts and loves Alexandera Andrews with all her heart. Not only she helped in building the butterflies from the ground, she still organises charity funds every year for the orphanage. According to lydia the orphanage won't exist if it weren't for the financial and emotional help of the great Alexandera.

Alexandera Andrews was an image to be hold, with a long blonde hair, a model figure and striking green eyes, she looked like a 22 years old VS model rather than a 35 year old billionaire. Coming from a rich family and having a series of hotel chains around the world didn't affect her humbleness or her graceful attitude one bit. When Mrs lydia was just beginning the orphanage with the small house she got from her parents years ago with only 4 children to take care of, Alexandera was the first person to ever offer helping with the orphanage. She helped in getting everything needed for the butterflies including the building they own right now.

And now Mrs lydia sitting in her office preparing the adoption papers didn't know how to feel. She always feels sad whenever she had to say goodbye to the children that looked up to her like a mother. But she felt different this time. Happy & excited for the kids, but a little sad she won't see them everyday. The little lavinia and the 4 year old Vannessa were the kids joining Alexandera.
At last a smile broke on the face of the mother of butterflies knowing her Alexandera will be a great mother for her two little butterflies.
