Adopted by Jennifer Lawrence

Chapter 60

Jen's POV

It's been a few days since Katie woke up and I told my Mom. She was thrilled and scared for me, which I don't blame her for. I still haven't told Darren which I'm still terrified about. The doctors that I still hate are allowing Katie to come home but she has to be put under as little stress as possible and she can't be too active. Scarlett hasn't seen Katie yet and I think it's best if Scar sees her when she's up and walking again, well hobbling. Katie has had help from the nurses when it comes to walking with her support boot on. She's pretty much got the hang of it now but the nurses have stipulated to me on many occasions that they would prefer if Katie is assisted with walking for the first few days, till she is completely confident walking on her own.

"Security are here now so do you want to get a move on?" I ask Katie as she sits on the side of her bed with her back brace keeping her posture straight.

"Yeah," She sighs and pushes herself to a standing position on her support boot.

"Come on. I'm helping your crippled ass," I smirk at her and walk over to her from the bottom of the bed and fling her arm over my shoulders.

"You know you love my crippled ass," She grins back and I snigger at her.

I have already signed the release forms so all we have to do is get to the car without getting seen. The security car is picking us up because it's a public appearance that we are making and I wanted to take all the necessary security measures to ensure our safety.

We surprisingly make it to the car without any pictures taken or any hassle.

When we make it home there are paparazzi lining the entrance to the property. Katie keeps her head down and I do the same to avoid and pictures being legible.

"Come on let's get inside before those pricks get anymore photos," I groan angrily and get out of the car waiting for Katie to follow.

"It's fine relax Jen. It doesn't effect us in the slightest," She replies and my face softens.

"You're right it's just aggravating," I sigh and help her up the steps and into the house.

"We're back!" I yell through the house in hopes of getting everyone's attention.

"Katie!" We can both hear Scar sequel before she runs into the hall with a huge grin on her face.

"Hi Bug," Katie smiles down at her as Scarlett crashes into her legs and hugs them tightly.

"I missed you," Scar mutters into Katie's legs.

"Missed you too," Katie replies as she rubs the top of Scar's head.

I let them be and drop my handbag at the bottom of the stairs and go into the kitchen where I find my Mom fumbling around in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" I ask her and she turns around slightly startled.

"I was just trying to finish up in here before coming out to the hall," She replies and hugs me tightly then walks away into the hall and I follow her.

"You hungry Murph?" Mom asks Katie using her nickname. Mom and Dad call her Murphy because of her Irish heritage.

"Starving," Katie laughs back.

"Okay Scar I'm not going anywhere now you can let go now," Katie giggles at Scar as she continues to cling to Katie.

"Okay," Scar mutters and let's go. In response I lift her up and hold her on my hip.

"Come and get some food," Mom tells Katie and she nods in response as she hobbles into the kitchen after Mom.

"How much do you want?" Mom asks as she lifts up a pot of Pasta.

"Plenty," Katie replies and Mom nods as she scoops out a large serving and hands the bowl across the kitchen island to Katie.

"Thanks," Katie thanks her and starts to devour the food.

"You lost weight while you where in," Mom comments and Katie just nods as she continues to eat.

"Slow down," I laugh at her.

"Sorry," She sniggers with a full mouth.

"We're getting Pizza later so don't fill up too much," I grin at her and she just smiles in return.

"Where's Dad?" I ask Mom.

"He's upstairs having a nap," She tells me and I nod as I let Scar down and walk out of the kitchen and go upstairs to speak to him.

When I make it upstairs I knock on the door to the spare room him and my Mom are using.

"Come in," He calls through the door and I enter the room. He stands at the end of the bed buttoning his shirt up.

"Hey kid," He smiles at me as I walk towards him.

"Hi," I mutter as I walk into his arms and lean my head on his comforting chest.

"Oh this is nice," I can hear him smile at me and wrap his arms around me.

"May I ask what I'm getting this hug?" He asks me.

"Just wanted one from someone that isn't Mom," I mumble into his chest and he tightens his grasp around me.

I haven't told him yet and I'm very very scared to see what he has to say about it. He is my favourite person so I'd hate it if he where to get annoyed at me.

A/N: How was it?? Sorry my recent updates haven't been very good. I've been focusing on my other JLaw fan fic.
