Romance Detective 3: Return of the Roses

Chapter 14: Adoption

Rose's Pov

I was surprised by Ivy's answer. But she wasn't done yet. "She's a better mother than my parents...though thier my foster parents so it really doesn't matter. They don't care about me like officer Chrys does...they hurt me..." she said to me. I flinched at the "they hurt me" part.

Soon I got then to school then went back home. I saw Chrys laying on the sofa bed in the living room, which alerted me. "Chrys, You shouldn't be out of bed" I said to her. She looked at me and handed me the notepad. I took it and read it, 'I'm fine with walking a short distance.'

"Okay. But next time I want to help you..." I said to her. I set the notepad back down in her reach. She nodded at me. I sat in the chair and turned on the tv. Suddenly the notepad landed in my lap. I looked at her then back at the notepad.

'Can we cuddle? I wanna cuddle' I looked at Chrys, "Okay Chrys" I stood and walked over to Chrys and layed down beside her. She cuddled close to me. My thought went back to what Ivy said. "Hey Chrys..." I said to her. I felt her nudge me in response.

"I was talking with Aster and Ivy...aster Said you were like an older sister to her and Ivy said...you like a mother to her..." I said. She looked at me then she pointed to the coffee table. I leaned up and saw a paper. I reached over and grabbed it. Then I read it to myself.

'Adoption papers for Ivy grave' I looked at chrys. Chrys have a little smile. I smiled back and layed beside her, "She'll agree to that I know it" she snuggled up to me, falling asleep. I smiled a bit and layed back falling asleep.

2 weeks later

Chrys was getting better and better. Now she can walk but she sint allowed to be driving or going out quite yet. It was times to get the two kids from school.

I left to get the two kids from the School. On my way there I dropped off the adoption papers, ivy was now Chrys's daughter. Once I arrived I saw Ivy's foster parents. 'Why are they here?' I thought to myself. I parked the car and got out. Once the students were released Ivy and Aster came to me and got in the car.

Ivy's foster parents stopped me before I got in the car. "Can I help you?" I asked them. However once I looked at them the foster father hit me hard. "What the hell?" I asked him. "You took her away" foster father said growling at me. "You were treating her wrong. Now if you don't mi-" I was cut off by his wife scratching my cheek with her nail.

I yelped and growled at them. I slapped his wife then kicked the foster father where it hurts. I huffed in anger and got in the car and drove off. "What did they mean by that?" asked Ivy to me. "Well Ivy, your Chrys's daughter now" I said. She was surprised but very happy.

Once we got home I brought the two inside. Chrys noticed the marks on my face and went over to me worried. "What happened? Who did this to you?" She asked me grabbing the first aid kit and tends to the wound on me. "Ivy's foster mother scratched me because you adopted ivy. Oh and she knows already." I said to Chrys. She nodded and puts a medic pad and taped it on.

Ivy walked over to us. "Yes Ivy?" Asked Chrys to her. Ivy hugged Chrys Whispering, "thank you" to her. She smiled, "Your welcome" I smiled a bit seeing them happy. Ivy went back to where Aster is to do homework. I felt Chrys nuzzle close to me. I chuckled and brought my arms around her and nuzzled her back.

A few days later

Chrys was able to go out with me now. But she had to take it easy. I was glad she was able to get back and work again. Aster and Ivy had the day off at school(It's Friday just so you know). I told Ivy and Aster that we'd be back.

Chrys and I left to the station to see if we had anything which as usual turned out to me nothing. We visited Chrys's cousin then went home. We went inside the house. The two kids greeted us and we went over to them. Chrys sat down and huffed a bit.

I realized we still needed to get Ivy's belongings. I got up and told Chrys I'd be back. I left, I called chief and asked her to come with me. She agreed and I picked her up taking her there. I knocked on the door and the foster father opened the door. He glared at me, "what?"

"I came to get Ivy's belongings." I told him. He growled but let me and chief in. He told me where her room was and we went and got Ivy's belongings. Once we finished we left there. I thanked Chief and dropped her off by the cafe where leandre wanted to meet chief. Then I left back home. Once I got there and we went inside giving Ivy her belongings.

She thanked me and went to her and Aster's shared room. I sat next to Chrys. "Did they give you any trouble?" She asked me. "Just attitude that's all" I said and she nodded. It was getting late and we went to bed.

'How did I get so lucky to get a partner like her...?'
