The Butterfly Fairy

Chapter 1

A bit of a back story about this book. This is actually my book. I wrote it in high school before I knew about Wattpad. After awhile of thinking about if I wanted to post my book, I decided to just do it. Please be kind.

Lily Washington sat on a bench in her favorite park, watching a mother play with her baby. She wished that could be her but she knew that was impossible. The doctors told her this and it almost destroyed her. She had a plan and her plan was failing. She wanted a loving husband and a baby or two but that would never happen for her.

Lily sighed before standing up and walking home. When she got there she went inside and made some coffee before sitting down on her couch to watch her favorite T.V show. After watching it she made and ate dinner then took shower. When she was finished she got her pajamas on then grabbed her hair brush and brushed out her long strawberry blonde hair.

Shw had no clue her life was going to change when her doorbell rang. She looked at the clock and it said nine thirty. She got up wondering who was at the door at nine thirty. She walked downstairs and to the front door, unlocking it before opening to see no one. She was about to close the door when she heard a whimper. She looked down and gasped at the little baby in a bassinet, wrapped in a pink blanket. She had a note on top of her. Lily picked the note up and read it.

Her name is Charlie please take care of her.

Lily looked down at the little baby Charlie and knew that she wasn't going to turn her over to social services, she was going to keep her and she would be Charlie Washington. Lily bent down and grabbed the bassinet before going back inside and closing the door. She walked upstair to her room and over to her bed. She set the bassinet down then took out Charlie. Charlie was asleep amd Lily thought she was the cutest thing she has ever seen.

She climbed into bed, careful not to disturb her and laid down. She laid Charlie next her before reaching behind her to turn of the lights. She seattled down and fell asleep. The next morning Lily decided to call her mother Layla. Layla Washington is a fifty year old widow. Lily's father Richard died of cancer five years ago. It broke both Lily and Layla's heart.
Lily picked up her cellphone and called her mother.

"Hello" Layla said.

"Hey mom, you would not believe what happened to me last." Lily said.

"What happened?" Layla asked. "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay but-" she said but was interrupted.

"Oh good, you shouldn't scare your mother like that, you could have given me a heart attack." Lily rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"I was getting ready for bed when the doorbell rang. I went to answer it and I found a baby on my doorstep." Lily said.

"Are you kidding me?" She asked.

"No, there was a note and it said that her name is Charlie and that I should take care of her."

"What are you going to do?" Layla said.

"I'm going to keep her." Lily said.

"I'm so excited, I'm going to be a grandma." Layla said shout her joy.

"So you wouldn't babysitting while I do some baby shopping?" She said.

"Are you kidding, I'll be over in a few minutes." Layla said.

"Okay love you" Lily said.

"Love you too" Layla said then hung up. Lily looked over at Charlie who was still sleeping. She was surprised that she hadn't woken up once during the night. She shrugged then got dressed. By the time she had her hair done and light make up on her mother was at the door.
