Chasing Your Dreams

First Dates And Paperwork

Jason's pov

I tell Britt about everything that happened. "Wait, you told her about the adopting thing?! I wanted to be here!" Oops. "Sorry, I just... I wanted to cheer her up and I knew that would." She sighs. "Oh well. No use getting mad, nothing I can do." "I'm sorry baby." "It's okay. But I'm gonna take her out today." I smile. "Ok."

I glare at the picture of my dad. He doesn't care about me. A good dad would support me and help me achieve my dreams. Like Jason does. I get a large metal bin and put the picture in it. "Goodbye forever." I whisper, lighting it on fire. After it burns to ashes, I tie my robe tighter around me and walk downstairs. The living room is empty. I sit down, knowing very well Jason isn't a morning person. Neither am I but I haven't been able to sleep after my fight with dad. I lay on the couch, music choice on the TV.

We go to the living room and Miranda's asleep on thr couch. "I hope she didn't hear that." Brittany whispers. I nod, worried, seeing tear stains on her cheeks. Brittany wakes her up and she gasps in surprise, more tears falling down her cheeks. "W-Why are you crying?" I ask. "J-Just a bad dream." She whispers, wiping her eyes. "Well Miranda, get dressed. We're having a girl's day while Jason fills out the paperwork." My eyes go wide. "What? Paperwork?" "Yes! You have to sign adoption papers!" Oh. "I don't know this stuff." Miranda goes upstairs to get ready. "You know I suck at paperwork." I mumble, holding her hands. "All ya gotta do is sign your name, Jason." "That's it?" She nods. "Well, I've gotta go get ready." She says, smiling. "Hey baby ya got all day, and she's got an hour to get ready." She laughs. "Not all girls take an hour to get ready." "Whatever." I say, grabbing her hips and pulling her to my chest.

I wonder what me and Britt are doing today. I decide on casual jeans and a T-shirt. I fix my hair and walk downstairs. I turn on the TV while I wait for Brittany to finish getting ready.

Is that the TV? "Man she gets ready fast." I gasp surprised. "Jason I've got get ready to go." "Yeah I know." I wish she didn't have to go anywhere today. "Hey guys, Mo's at the door!" Mo? Mo Pitney? "What's he want?" Britt calls. "To talk to me." I hear the front door close. I get dressed quickly and open the door, sneaking to the window. "Hey um if you're okay with it and all... Do you uh... I mean if you aren't busy..." Man he's nervous as fuck. "Do you wanna go out today?" My eyes go wide. If they go out, Britt doesn't have to leave. "What's happening?" Brittany asks, walking over. "Mo just asked our daughter out." "I... I'd love to but me and my mom were gonna go out today." My eyes go wide. She called Brittany her mom! I can tell Britt's just as shocked. I open the door a crack and wave her inside. "It's okay. We can reschedule. Go out with Mo!" She says, excited for her. "I'm nervous. I stink at talking to boys." Hm. "How about this. Talk as if you're talking to me.... Or your brother." "Ok that'll work. Thanks guys. You're the best!" She hugs us and runs out the door. "Change in plans. Let's go." She's so excited. It's adorable.

He grabs my hand. "We're gonna have a lot of fun together." He whispers, walking me to his car.

"I'm glad we're doing this." My wonderful wife says signing her name. "Congratulations. You've successfully adopted Miranda Brown." I smile and squeeze her hand. "You mean Miranda Aldean." I say, smiling. Brittany hugs me. "I love you, Jay." "I love you too." I whisper, kissing her.
