I sat in the car thinking about how to tell Patrick about Elisa. "Um . . . Dad?" I said looking at him. "Yes sweetie? " I giggled. "You called me sweetie. Okay, I'm back. Um am I . . . " How do I tell him? "going to be home schooled or go to school?" Idiot. YOU JUST SHOULD HAVE ASKED HIM. "Uh," he said. "I don't know yet. It's your choice, really." I nodded. Well I'm going to meet Elisa eventually.

It wasn't long before we reached his house. It was a nice big mansion. There was a big lawn with lots of flowers and bushes. Patrick helped me with my suitcase. We walked up to the big house and I stared with an open mouth. "Woah," I said as we reached the door. Patrick opened the door and giggled at my reaction. The place was awesome. There was a staircase that lead to the 2nd floor and the living room had one of those reclinable sofas and chairs that I had to resists the urge to run and just fall asleep on one of those. There was a big flat screen TV hung on one of the walls.

Patrick walked in and I followed. There was a doorway that lead to the kitchen where I heard someone cooking. "Honey," Patrick called as he smiled at me. I smiled back. Oh, I'm going to meet Elisa any second right now, right? That's who I'm going to meet . . . Do I look good? Wait what do I call her? Do I greet her like 'Hello good afternoon Mrs. Stump' or like 'Hi Mom' ? Oh God, just breathe.

"I'm home!" Patrick said as he grabbed my hand and we walked to the kitchen. The kitchen was big. They had marbel counters and and the dinning table was just beautiful. The sink was in the back with the fridge, oven/stove, and dishwasher. There was a women standing in front of the stove stiring a pot. She had long black curly hair and was about the same size as Patrick. She turned around smiling and runs to Patrick with her arms open. They hug and then she looks at me.

She smiled and pulled her hair behing her ear. "Hi," she said excitedly. "Who's she?" She said as she looked at Patrick. I blushed and was terrified. She doesn't know who I am? But then . . . Oh if Patrick adopted me without telling Elisa? Please tell me he didn't do that . . . If he did he is in so much trouble. "That's Cora," Patrick said swaying a little towards me. "Hi Cora," she said as gave me a hug. Maybe she does know who I am . . . "What's she doing here?" She asked. Or not . . . Or not.

"Um . . . well remember that we were considering adopting?" He asked smiling looking at me. I frowned. She seemed to kind of understand what he was talking about. She was not happy. She frowned and stiffened. "Patrick . . . Can you be a little more specific? "

"Well since we wanted to adopt , I decided to go ahead and look for a child that we would love, while you work on that. Cora here is a lot like you and me." He gave me a hug and smiled at her. She glared at him for a moment and I felt out of place. What am I doing here? All I'm doing here is intruding. Elisa doesn't want me here. Why did Patrick adopt me without Elisa's approval?

After a small moment of akward silence she smiled. "Oh, okay. Well welcome home, Cora." She gave me a big hug and then there was a knock on the door. "I'll go get it!" Patrick said. "And I shall follow!" I stated and followed Patrick.

I heard Elisa giggle and then I saw Patrick opened the door. Pete, Joe, and Andy were standing there. "Patrick!" They said and gave him a hug. After talking for a moment Andy said, "Hey, where's Cora?" I was standing near the stairs which were a few feet away from them. "Here!"  I said and threw my hand up the air as if they couldn't see me.

"There she is!" Andy said and walked over to me followed by Pete and Joe. Andy hugged me and I hugged him back smiling. I like his hugs. They make me feel safe. After he let go, Joe and Pete gave me a hug.

"Who's here?" Elisa asked from the kitchen. "The guys are here!" Pete yelled. Elisa laughed and said, "Come on in!" Andy and Pete went into the kitchen and Joe held my hand and we both walked to the kitchen.
