George's POV

The officer went out of the room and nodded with his head in Blake's and my direction, then he left the house. Blake and I looked at each other and then we jumped up at the same time, running towards the living room where the officer had been questioning Emma, Amy and Reece.

Emma seemed a bit puffy from crying but she was laughing which was a good sign I guess.

As we entered the room, the first thing she said was: "I need Pizza."

And we all agreed without any hesitation.

"What did the officer say?" Blake asked as we waited for the ordered Pizza to arrive.

"That Emma and I should come to the police station tomorrow for a proper testimony and then they will arrest her dad." Reece explained and put his arm around Emma's shoulders. She nestled up against him and smiled which was kind of cute.

When I first met Emma, I might have had a little crush on her but that immediately stopped when I heard about her and Reece.

Well, perhaps I just had to wait for my princess to come.

"That's good." I said and in that very moment the doorbell rang. Amy jumped up and looked at Emma with big eyes.

Emma got crinkles by her eyes as she smiled down at little Amy.

"1." Emma started to count and I didn't quite know what they were doing so I just stared at them in confusion.

"2." Amy said and grinned just like Emma did. They looked so much alike.

"3!" Emma yelled and then they both started running down the stairs. Amy pushed Emma and she pushed her sister back.

The boys and I quickly followed them downstairs where Emma was lying on the ground, Amy on top of her. They were both laughing and Amy was squealing.

"I won." Amy jumped up and down on Emma. "I won, I won, I won."

"That little brat pushed me to the floor." Emma laughed and picked Amy up, spinning her around.

Blake went to the door and paid the pizza delivery man. We all went into the living room, Amy on my lap because that seemed to be her favourite place now.

Ever since she came to my house, she wanted to sit on my lap whenever she could. That little girl was just adorable and sometimes I wished she was my little sister.

"I want to become a policewoman when I'm older." Amy said proudly with pizza stuffed into her mouth.

"Is that so?" Reece asked interested and leaned in. "Why?"

"Because I want to arrest all mean daddies." She said and it was kind of sad that her life was influenced by her dad that way that she was thinking like that. But it was also kind of cute that she wanted to change the world though she was only so small.

"The world needs people like that." Emma said and nudged her nose with her finger. "And I'm sure you will be doing a great job."

We all smiled and gave her a reassuring nod and then we all ate our pizza and kept on chatting until it was time for Amy to go to bed.
