It's later on in the day and my mum has came to visit and to ask Josh for the number to the agency he was being cared by. She was outside the room door and me and Josh sat patiently waiting. I was super exciting; until I looked over to him. He all of a sudden had a large frown grow on his face and replaced the smile. 

"Oi! Cheer up!"

He let out a slight smile but nothing real. 

"Hey... What's up?"

He took a small breath out then closed his eyes as he spoke.

"What if you can't look after me..."

I quickly turned around and glared at him.

"What do you mean?! Of course we can."

He signed then turned to look at me taking a hold of my hands.

"No... I mean you're expecting... We both have hospital issues now that are going to be expensive. What's if you go broke because of me?"

No matter how much I wanted him to live with us, he does actually have a point...

"It'll be fine. If we do become short of money I'm planning on finding a job anyway, so then I can help pay for the baby."

He looked away from me then removed his hands from mine. 

"Hey...."

I placed my hand under his chin. Directing his head to face towards me. 

"It'll be fine. We wouldn't have taken you in if we knew there would be money troubles."

He thought about it for a few minutes then managed to smile and try to help it work out. After chatting for a while my mum then entered the room with a slight frown on her face. I instantly rose from the bed as I could tell something wasn't right. 

"What did they say?!"

She looked down at the floor then looked directly at me and Josh. 

"They.... They said that Josh could....."

She quickly changed the frown into a smile and began to laugh.

"Stay with us!"

I screamed I ran over and jumped on my mum with excrement. I turned myself around to face Josh as he stood there smiling. He was still unsure if it was going to work. 

"Cheer up you old sod."

My mum gave Josh a hug making him laugh a little. Me and him watched each other then proceeding to bring it into a hug. 

 After having a small celebration my Nurse walked in. 

"Rachel can I please speak to you in private. "

Everyone looked at each other with a worried expression swiped across their faces. Not too long after Josh and Mum walked out the door and closing it behind them. After having a conversation with the Nurse they were allowed back in. As they walked in I was siting silently on the bed.

"Honey what did she say?"

My mum soon came and sat down next to me, placing her hand on my knee. 

"I got let out."

Her face lit up.

"Omg Rachel this is amazing! Now you can both come home together!"

Me and my mum smiled as Josh stood there awkwardly.

"Josh."

"Um.. Yes Mrs.... Claire."

"Get your grumpy ass over here and hug us. Your apart of our family. Your not my son as we haven't adopt you but, you're living with us for as long as you need so get over here."

Soon Josh smiled and walked over joining into the hug. We all laughed and smiled.
