For the Love of A Daughter

Chapter Six: Taking Chances

Khloe's POV

I'm about to leave to go on set for a talk show with my sisters. Usually I don't really look forward because it is usually just the same questions and cheesy games but my mom told me it's gonna be different this time. I'm sitting on the couch in the living room when the song, Give Your Heart A Break, starts playing. I wonder why Demi is calling me at like 6am. It's super early!

I quickly answer and Demi says, "Hello, Khloe?"

"Oh hey Demi, why are you up so early?"

"I'm actually in England but that is a story for another time. I have a question for you though."

"Yeah, what's up?" I then put my phone to my ear on my shoulder so I can talk and eat a banana at the same time.

"Do you still want kids?"

"Yeah, but with me and Lamar separated and my biological clock ticking, I doubt that is even possible. Unless I'm like Kim."

Demi starts laughing. "Well... I have these two beautiful girls that are looking for a home if you are interested."

"Well then... That is a really big step and I don't know if I'm ready for that. Plus having one child is a huge amount of responsibility and work nevermind two." I don't even want to know how this idea came into Demi's head. I mean like really?

"But these girls are so well behaved. They are siblings. One is such a cutie pie, she is 4 or 5 and the other seems really intelligent and I think is around 10 or 12." 

"I'll have to go into deep consideration. This is a different part of life. I'll be an old lady!" 

"Okay, thank you. I have to go now, have a nice day."

"You to." And with that she hung up and I put my phone down. Holy shit! I walk into my mom's room and sit on her bed. "Oh my god mom!"

"What is your problem now?"

"You know my friend Demi?" She nods her head. "Well, she wants me to adopt these two girls from the UK."

"Oh, what do you want to do?"

"I don't know, for a while now I've been debating adoption, but I don't know if I'm ready for motherhood, however if I don't jump on this opportunity now it could take months maybe years to have my own."

"Honey, no one is ever ready to have kids whether it's economical wise, physically, mentally. Just look at your sisters, Kourtney still isn't married while Kim has been a single mom. You know how hard it is to adopt babies and that biological clock is most definately running out. You don't need to make a decision right now. Just know the whole family and I support any decision you make! Love you." She then gives me a hug. 

I then look at the door because Kourtney and Kim comes walking with her nose pointed high. "Hey sweetie, why so glum?" I shrug my shoulders and tell them the situation. Both of there jaws drop.

Kourtney seems like she's into it and gives me the thumbs up but Kim just shakes her head. "Do you know how hard it is for me to be mom to just baby North never mind when she gets older. It is such hard work, I'm sure if you call Demi's mom she'll tell you the same."

I nod but mom just gives us an angry look. "You are forgetting that I too was a single mother!"

I then impulsively say, "Yeah but we had daddy around all the time and then you got together with Bruce like a year later." She just shakes her head, was it something I said.

"That's another thing you need to work on if you're gonna be a mom Khloe, it's controlling your temper and the rest of your twenty million emotions, I mean like really? You wanna set a good example."
