Our New Family (amyplier)

chapter 3

1 week later:

Amy had just finished the last touches to the girls' room. Since Mark and Amy had a smaller house, the girls had to share a room.
The walls were a light pink, the girls had their names above their beds, Aliyah had a small bed with white wood and pink and gray sheets. And for Emma (they visited the mother of Emma and she told the couple the baby's name), she had a white crib, with a pink sheet and a little comforter that was gray with light pink polka dots. Amy bought her a little gray elephant. And the closet was on Aliyah's side, so there was a white dresser and changing table on top by Emma's side. In the middle, there was a fuzzy gray rug and next to Aliyah's bed, there was a white nightstand with a pink lamp. There was also a bookcase by the changing table filled with new books and books from the couples childhood. In the closet, was filled with clothes. The right side had Emma's clothes and the left had Aliyah's, below the clothes was a shelf holding their shoes.

Then Mark knocked on the door.
"Ready sweetie? Our lives are going to change today!"

"Coming babe!" Amy called. Then she told Mark to look at the room.

"Babe, you did a wonderful job." Mark wrapped his arms around Amy's body and gave her a kiss on her neck and cheek.

"Just remember, no sexual gestures in front of the kids OR nasty language. Understand?" Amy told Mark.

"Yes ma'am." Mark saluted in a joking way.

"Alright, lets go get our girls." Amy grabbed her keys and purse and walked out.

When they got to the Foster Home, it started pouring. Mark and Amy sprinted through the rain and managed to get inside, soaking wet.

There, Ms Summer was holding young Emma and Aliyah was right next to her, with 2 little suitcases. She had a huge smile on her face.
A few days before, Mark told Ms Summer to tell Aliyah she will have a baby sister coming along too. As expected, she was elated. She finally met Emma and spent all of her time with her soon to be sister.

"Hey kids, are you ready to come home?!" Mark opened his arms to give Aliyah a hug.

"Yeah! So excite to have a sissy!" Aliyah jumped up and down.

"Here is little baby Emma." Ms Summer handed Amy the tiny baby, wrapped in a little pink blanket. She was beautiful. She has brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. She had a little scrunched up nose and chubby cheeks. Still, she was tiny and seemed like she weighed 2 pounds.

Amy also managed to hold Aliyah's tiny hand, while Mark carried her little suitcases.

"Ill pull the car around and make it easier for you guys." Mark called out.
The day before they picked up the girls, Amy traded in her little sedan for a black minivan. Yes, Amy just became a minivan mom.

When Mark pulled around the car, Aliyah stood in awe.
"Wowwww! That's a big vroom-vroom!!!"

"Okay, your seat is right here Aliyah." Amy helped Aliyah get in her car seat and Mark got little Emma in hers.

Once they were settled, Ms Summer stood by the door, waving to the family.

"Bye bye Mrs Summwr!" Aliyah waved.

"Bye girls!" She teared up. She was happy they found a new and loving home.

On the way back, Emma started crying.
"This is where it starts." Amy thought.

"Hey Aliyah, do you have any little toys or stuffed animals Emma can play with?" Amy turned around.

"I have Tigey, but Tigey is mine!" She replied.

"You can have it back later, can you just give it to her?" Amy asked.

"Fine." Aliyah huffed. She gave her the tiger and Emma stopped crying in seconds! It was amazing. She cooed and played with the tiger and cuddled it.

Then the rest of the trip home was kinda quiet. Mark turned on some classical music and both of the girls fell asleep. Then Mark and Amy looked at each other and held hands. They did it, they got their little girls today and they were perfect.

"I love them so much." Amy said to Mark.

"I love them more." Mark teased.

When they got home, the couple carried them to their beds and turned off the lights. It was only midday, so the girls will wake up soon.

Around 5 pm, Amy and Mark were cuddling while watching a movie when they heard footsteps coming down from the hallway.

"Mommy?" Amy heard a groggy voice.

"Yes sweetie, do you need something?"

"I'm a little hungy.." Aliyah quietly said.

"What do you want to have for dinner?"

"Pizza!" She shouted with her arms out.

"Okay, i will order some now." Mark got up and went to his phone. Amy went and got Emma and fed her with a bottle. Amy rocked her back and forth and looked into Emma's gorgeous eyes.

Aliyah got Tigey back and played with her on the floor until the Pizza came. For the rest of the night, the whole family chilled on the couch while watching Tangled, Aliyah's favorite movie.
