Septiishu's Little Girl

Meeting the Cousins

Tig's POV

Today was the day I was going to meet my cousins. I don't know how to feel about it since they know I'm adopted. I'm scared they won't treat me the same as they do with each other. I hope they don't talk to me because I won't know how to reply back to them.

I was in the living room waiting for Jack to get my car seat ready. Signe was packing some of my toys in a bag for me to take just incase I was bored during the car ride. I sat on the couch holding Woolly close. Maybe it won't be that bad?

"Come on munchkin, your carriage awaits." Jack says to me as he picks me up.

Signe follows and locks the front door when we exit the house. Jack opens the back door and places me in my car seat. Whilst he was strapping me in, I felt like I was going to cry. Why you ask? No idea...I just felt like it. Jack must've noticed because he looks at me with a worried expression and strokes my hair.

"Hey bud, you ok?" He asks me.

I whimper and tears begin to form in my eyes. He quickly unstraps me and holds me in his arms.

"Hey...it's ok. Shh...It's ok, sweetie." He says to me while swaying side to side. Signe walks over and rubs my back.

"I think she's nervous about meeting everybody." Jack says to her.

Signe nods. They both were able to calm me down and Jack places me back into my car seat. He straps me in and gives me and kiss on my head. I snuggle into Woolly and he closes the door. He gets in his seat and starts the car and we left the house.

It was going to be a 15-20 minute drive so Jack took us to McDonalds for our dinner. Him and Signe ordered a Big Mac while I had a Happy Meal. We parked in the parking lot so Jack could eat his food first before he could start driving again. I slowly ate my chips whilst looking out the window. Maybe my cousins were really nice! I heard of Jack that I'm now the youngest grandchild of Grandma and Grandad which I guess is a good thing. After eating my meal, I found myself dozing off. Maybe if I close my eyes...just for a while...

I opened my eyes to see that we were in the middle of a forest. I looked around and could only see fields and trees. Where the heck did they live? Are they Hobbits? Living in Middle Earth or something? Is...OMG!!! Is grandad Gandalf? Is my Uncle Malcolm Thorin? Is Jack Bilbo? Wait...who's Gollum? I looked at Signe. No...she can't be Gollum, she's too pretty! Wait...if Signe's not Gollum then...I'M GOLLUM! Oh great! I'm a psycho living in an underground cave, speaking to myself about some ring that turns me invisible. Just perfect!

We then drove up a small drive and arrived in front of two cabins. Wait what? What is this place?Jack and Signe get out and Jack comes and opens my door, unstraps me and picks me up. One of the cabin doors open and out walked Grandma and Grandad. They smiled when they see us.

"Hello Sean!" Grandma says, hugging him.

Wait...Sean? I'm confused right now.

"Hey Ma!" Jack says.

"And hello Signe. Nice to see you again, love!" Grandma says to Signe, giving her a hug also. I look back at the cabin to see FOUR adults walking out.

"Hey Sean!" They all say.

WHO THE HECK IS SEAN?????

"Hello! Everybody, I would like you to meet, Tig. Mine and Signe's adopted daughter!" Jack says, showing me to them.

Yo! Can you cut out the word 'adopted', I don't want them to know.

"Aw...She's adorable!" One of them say.
