Tig's POV
I was playing with my toys in my room with Woolly. I have been really down lately because I miss everybody at the Care Home. So I haven't been acting like myself recently and Jack and Si, Si have noticed this. I've never been away from Vicky for this long. I miss her so much! And Ella too!
My door opened and in walked Si, Si. My favourite person ever! She smiles and kneels in front of me.
"You okay, Tiggy?" She asks me.
I just nod. I didn't feel like speaking. She combs her fingers threw my hair so it was out of my eyes.
"Do you want to come and watch a film with me and Jack?" She asked.
I shake my head. She sighs and nods.
"Ok...if you need anything, just shout me, ok?" She says.
I nod and she leaves the room.

...

~Hey Tig~
I look down to see Woolly looking at me.
~Are you missing Vicky and Ella?~
I nod my head.
~I bet they miss you too! But they don't want that to ruin your fun! They would want you to be happy that you're living with Jack and Signe! I think Signe was trying to make you happy again and watch a film~
I look towards the door.
~Remember when Jack and Signe first arrived at the Care Home and you found out they were adopting you? You was really worried then because you had no idea who they were! But look at you now! You love them don't you?~
I nod my head.
~I helped you through that remember?~

Flashback...
"Well...what do you think?"
"Where do we sign?"

I stood outside the office door listening to the conversation. This couple wants to adopt me? But...I don't want them too!
Vicky walks out the room and spots me.
"Hey Tig! Guess what? This couple wants to take you home! Isn't that fantastic?" She says to me.
I shake my head.
"What's up Tig? You don't want them to take you home?" She asked me.
I shake my head again.
"How come?" She says.
I shrug my shoulders. She sighs and starts to walk back down the hall towards the office.
~Hey Tig?~
I looked down at Woolly.
~You're really worried about these people adopting you, aren't you?~
I nod.
~There's no need to be. These people are gonna take good care of you! They picked you because they wanted you to be their daughter. I bet they couldn't have kids of their own so that's why they came here. You finally can leave this place and go to a new home with your own room! Imagine that Tig! Your own room with your own toys! That definitely sounds fun!~
I smile.
~So go for it Tig! Go home with Jack and Signe!~
Yes I thought and ran to Vicky before she returned back to the office to the waiting couple.
"I want to go home!" I say excitedly.
Vicky smiles and nods.
"That's a quick decision. Ok, Tig!" She says and goes back into her office.

Flashback Over

I returned from my daydream and looked back down at Woolly.
~So go for it Tig! Go downstairs and watch that film with Jack and Signe!~
Yes I thought and picked Woolly up and ran down the stairs.
"I watch film too!" I shout as I ran into the living room.
This made Jack and Signe laugh and Jack lifts me up onto the couch, in the middle of them both. I snuggle into them and Signe puts the popcorn in the middle.
"What should we watch?" Jack asks.
"Cinderella!" I say.
They both agree and turn it on.

I like watching Cinderella,
I like snuggling up to Jack and Si, Si,
I love Woolly.
