"Alma! There's a letter for you!"

I blinked a few tears, breathing deeply.

The letter, the results, would be the beginning, or the end.

I took another deep breath, moving towards the door. "Coming!" I shouted back.

Walking down the stairs, I plastered a smile on my face as Carrie handed me the thick white envelope.

"Thanks." I breathed, quickly heading back up the stairs as Michael appeared from the living room.

Re-entering my room, I placed the envelope on my bed, checking on my daughter before I even thought about looking at it.

"Today is the day." I whispered, reaching for my phone.

Pressing down the number 5, I placed the phone to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Sammy, they're here." I whispered, eyeing the white envelope on my bed.

"Have you looked at them yet?" She replied, worry etched in her tone.

"No, I can't do it alone Sammy." My voice cracked, the tears in my eyes nearly tumbling over.

"I'm on my way." She answered quickly, hanging up.

I sighed, running a hand through my hair.

Clicking on messages, I sent Andrew a quick text.

'They're here, A x'

About a minute later, I got a reply.

'I'll be there in 10 x'

Tossing my phone on the bed, I picked Elena up, deciding to feed her before Sammy and Andy got here.

Just as I reached the bottom of the stairs, Carrie and Michael appeared from the kitchen, James in Michael's arms.

"We're off out for a bit, you gonna be okay alone?" Carrie asked, grabbing her coat.

"I'll be fine, have fun." I replied, avoiding eye contact with Michael.

"See you later then, Alma." She grinned, kissing my cheek, and Elena's forehead.

"See you." I whispered as they left.

Sighing, I headed towards the kitchen. I made Elena's bottle and managed to feed, burp and change her before there was a knock on the door. Looking out the window, I saw Sammy's silver car on the drive.

"Come in, its open!" I shouted.

"Hey chica!" Came the reply a few seconds later.

"Living room." I said, placing Elena play mat on the floor.

"Hey," Sammy sighed, kneeling down beside me. "How you feeling?"

"Honestly, I don't know how I'm feeling."

Instead of answering, she wrapped her arms around my shoulders, hugging me from the side.

A few minutes later, another knock sounded on the door. I didn't even need to shout for them to come in before the door opened and Andrew appeared.

"Hey." He breathed, leaning against the door frame.

"Hey," I smiled weakly. "The envelope is upstairs, I can't bring myself to open it."
