Daughter of Ali Krieger

Chapter 29;

Julie's POV
Zach and I brought Liv to the JumpZone in the city centre. It's been nearly two months since we've had her and I gotta say, she's absolutely incredible. Emily raised her so well. Speaking of Em, she's still the same. Hope texts once a week with updates. We're on the way home now just stopped at the store. Zach had to refill the car.

"Hey aunt JJ?"
"Yeah kid?"
"When we get home can we call aunt Becky?"
"Sure. Why?"
"I want to ask her something important."
"Alright."

Becky and Carli had their baby. A baby boy at that. Tyler Joshua Lloyd-Sauerbrunn. He's absolutely adorable. Becky and Carli both text or call everyday to see how things are going with everything. They're always talking to Liv so it's making me worry what she wants to ask her. I was brought out of my thoughts when Zach got into the car. He looked at me worryingly and mouthed if I was okay. I nodded and motioned towards Liv and he nodded. I turned up the radio and we took off home.

After a few minutes we pulled up and Liv jumped out of the car and ran towards Alyssa and Chris. I got out and walked over to them.

"Hey ladies. How long have y'all been here?"
"Just a second ago. Thought we'd come for a visit seeing as we've got nothing else to do.."
"Okay. I've to call Becky for Liv first and I'll be in to you then."

We followed Zach in. Alyssa and Chris went to the kitchen with Zach and I brought Liv to the living room. I grabbed the iPad and went into FaceTime. I pressed on Becky's contact and it began ringing. Liv sat on the couch next to me and fidgeted with her hands. Becky answered after a few seconds with a smile on her face.

Becky; Hey Jules, hi Liv.
Me; Hi Becky. Listen, Liv her wants to talk to you for a minute. Are you free?
Becky; For her of course. Put her on.

"I'll be in the kitchen with Aunt Alyssa and Chris if you need something, alright?"
"Yes Aunt JJ."

I handed her the iPad and walked into the kitchen. Zach grabbed his laptop and walked out of the room. I walked over to the coffee pot and poured two mugs. I handed Alyssa and Chris one.

"Is she okay?"
"I don't know. She's been a bit off all day. She asked in the car could she call Becky. Hopefully it's nothing serious."
"I'm sure it's not Jules. Becky would text you straight away if it was."

Olivia's POV (this is a first!)
Aunt JJ closed the sitting room door and I looked back down at the iPad. Aunt Becky was looking at me worryingly.

Aunt Becky; Are you okay Liv?
Me: Aunt Becky can I ask you something?
Aunt Becky; Of course Liv. Anything.
Me: If mommy doesn't wake up will aunt JJ be my new mommy?
Aunt Becky: Liv, I know this is hard for you to understand but your mommy is going to be sleeping for another while okay? And until then aunt JJ will be minding you-
Me: I want to come home.
Aunt Becky: You are home. Aunt JJ and uncle Zach are going to be your new home for a while.
Me: I miss my mommy. I miss mommy singing to me. I miss grandma Kelley and grandma Hope. I just want to come home Aunt Becky.
Aunt Becky; You'll be home soon.

I looked away from the iPad and at photographs on the mantel piece. They were all of aunt JJ and uncle Zach. I looked back at the iPad and wiped my eyes.

Aunt Becky: I know you're sad Liv, so am I, but we'll get through this together. As a family.
Me: If we're family, how didn't I know you before?
Aunt Becky: I'm sorry kid but that isn't my story to tell. Is aunt JJ there?
Me: I'll go to her.

I jumped off the couch and walked into the kitchen. Aunt JJ, Alyssa and Chris all looked at me worryingly. Aunt Alyssa stood up and walked over to me.
