lesson learned E.d (SEQUEL)

chapter 11

After a long embrace in Ethan's arms he let's me go and he looks me in my eyes.
"Let's have a Date night"
"Ethan we cant leave the twins alone"
"I'll call Grayson and angel I know they will love to watch them"
"OK but If your motive is sex then I dont want a date night"
"No its just so I can spend time with you"
"Ok"
"Where something casual Its going to be a fun night"
Ethan calls Grayson and angel and they agree to watch the twins.
2pm
"Babe let's get going there's lots to do"
"One second" I yell out
"Ok angel Jackson needs to have his night bottle by 5 and zaria needs hers by 4. Make sure they are changed before they go to sleep and give them a bath. Make sure jackson has his bear and Zaria has hers. Check on them 1 time every hour and make sure they are breathing."
"Chloe I got this go"
I leave out and ethan and I head out
"So whats first" I ask
First fro yo
"Ohhh I haven't had fro yo in a while"
We arrive to the frozen yogurt place and make one big cup for us to share. We sit at a table and eat and talk about any and everything. It was nice. We finish up our fro yo and then head to this indoor aboretum. There were flowers everywhere. All kinds and all different colors. We walk hand in hand through the whole place in awe at everything. One particular flower stands out and thats a flower I want at my wedding.
"Ethan I want those at our wedding"
"Let me take a picture and we can show ms Rollins."
Ok"
He takes the picture and we leave the arboretum. Its around 4pm.
"Today has been great ethan thank you"
"Its not over yet come on"
He grabs my hand and we head to the car.
"I feel like im in high school again"
"Haha me to"
20 minutes later we arrive at this big building.
"Ethan what is this"
"You'll see"
We go inside and the big sign DAVE AND BUSTERS illuminates.
"Really ethan"
"Yup let's be teenagers again"
"Hey I'm not old I'm only 22"
"Whatever let's go"
We play some games and win buckets of tickets. We're both competitive so we kept playing till we got tired. We took our 4 buckets of tickets to the ticket counter and put them in. 30 minutes later we got the ticket back. 10,000 tickets.
We go to the prize center and we look around. I see a gigantic teddy bear.
"Ethan i want that"
"Seriously"
"Yes"
"Can we have the teddy bear please"
The guy gets the teddy bear and hands it to me.
"You still have 5,000 tickets to spend what do you want."
We get ring pops, gift cards to the movies, stores, and we then we just keep the rest of our tickets.
We were leaving the Dave and busters when we see a girl crying.
"Sweetie what's wrong" I come up to her
"I lost my mommy"
"Aww its ok we're going to find her"
We look around and ask the girl to point out her mother. Her mother is no where to be found.
"What's your name sweetie"
"Aaliya"
"That's a beautiful name"
She Cry's harder "I want My mommy.
I hold her tight and stroke her head
"Shhhh shhh its ok we're going to find her"
I go to the Lost and found desk and report her missing.
"Thanks for turning her in"
"What happens now"
"Well if the parent doesn't claim her we send her to foster care until the mother is found or she gets adopted"
"Oh wait I think I see her mother. Thanks"
I walk away quickly.
"Chloe what are you doing"
"I can't let her go into foster care. She can just stay with us till her mother calls or something"
"Isn't that kidnapping"
"More like lost and found her"
"Ok"
"Aaliya sweetie your mom got busy and had to leave but she said you can stay with us till she comes back"
She sniffles "ok"
"Are you hungry?"
She shakes her head yes.
"Ok what do you want".
"I want chikn fingwers and fwench fries"
"Ok let's go get you something"
Ethan holds her while we head to a near by restaurant. We get our seats and order her some food.
"Can I have chocolate milk please"
"You sure can".
We place our order and wait for our food. A lady approaches us and picks aaliya up
"Omg my baby"
"Mommy!"
"Omg thank you guys so so so much"
"No problem"
"She wondered off and I was worried sick"
"Look at the bwight light mommy"
"She likes light"
"Haha well I'm glad you guys are reunited"
A guy appears around a corner and gives the mom a death stare. Fear is stricken into her eyes. She puts aaliya down and pulls us to the side
"Ok look this is the biggest thing to ask and you guys are complete strangers but I'm in trouble. Big trouble. That Man is going to take me away and I'm not coming back. I've done something's in the past and I crossed some of the wronf people. Aaliya was a mistake but I love her with all my heart. Here are her papers. I legally sign her over to you. Take care of her.
"Wait I can't just take your baby in its all so-"
We hear a loud bang.
"I'm sorry"
And with that the mother leaves.
"Ethan what the heck are we going to do"
"Were going to raise her as if she was our own"
"But her mother just left in front of her"
"You wanted a third child well here she is"
"I guess so"
We go back to the table
"Aaliya your mommy says your going to live with us while she handles some business"
"Okay"
"How old are you"
"I'm 3 my birfday is august 12"
"You are so pretty"
The food arrives and she eats up. Me and ethan watch her as she eats and we silently eat our food. We finish up and leave. We buckle her up and head home. The drive was silent

We reach the house and aaliya is asleep on my lap. I pick her up and take her to the guest room. I Change her out of her clothes and give her one of my tank tops. I close the door and I go check on my twins.
They aren't in their room so I go downstairs. Angel is on Grayson shoulder and she's holding Jackson and Grayson is holding Zaria. All of them knocked out. I snap a pic take the twins from their grasp. I take the twins to their room and wrap them up. I go back to Grayson and angel and wake them up. Ethan comes downstairs.
"Guys you will not believe what happened tonight"
