This is a short continuation of my first story drowning,
Emily and Chris decided to take their marriage to the next level and adopt a child,
However it will take a lot work to make this bond work between them as secrets unfold as time goes on..
"Aren't you excited?! I sure am!" I smiled as I drove with Crystal in the front seat. "I bet you'll look really pretty" she smiled shyly. "Aww Thankyou my lovely, I bet you'd beautiful in a dress too" I smiled "Me I-in a dress?" "Yeah! Oh don't worry! You'll look perfect trust me" "But I dunno I-if I'm going or not I wouldn't want you getting me a dress if- "Relax honey!, this is our first ever mother and daughter dress shopping experience! You can wear the dress any time" I kissed her cheek as we leaked the car outside the dress shop.
We headed into the Bridal Store, Christa looked around confused. "Where is everyone?" "What do you mean" "I thought you'd invite your friends to help you with the dress" "I only need one person and that's you" I kissed her hand, holding onto it as we headed round the back. "Emily right? Hi I'm Samantha I will be taking care of you today and this is Kelly she will be taking care of this young lady" she smiled. "Go on, go with the lady don't be scared" I smiled as we were separated into different changing rooms.
An hour had passed and I found the one. I found the dress and it was perfect.

I stepped out infront of the mirrors. I put my hand on my heart and smiled, My eyes tried to focus on just the dress but could not help but drag across to my scarred arms. I gulped trying to hold back the tears. I loved the dress just not my skin in it. I thought twice about the whole marriage thing until my thoughts were cut off by the door squeaking open to see Crystal step through in a gorgeous black dress. My breath hitched as she stood shyly. All my negative thoughts vanished when I saw her. I put my arm round her and stood her infront of me, us both looking at our reflection in the mirror, "Chris will be stunned" she blushed, I smiled, "You look perfect," I smiled. She looked up and smiled.
We bought the dresses and drove home. We ate out at an Italian restaurant and didn't get home till late as I knew Chris would be working in the studio late. We got home around 11pm which was past crystals bedtime so she was really exhausted when she came through the front door. "Honey you want me to run you a bath?" "No I'll get one in the morning if that's okay" "Alright, you gonna go to bed then?" "Soon" she yawned laying on the sofa. I nodded and headed upstairs. I stared at ,used in the mirror sadly. My hands brushing along my scars. Am I really someone that Crystal should look up to, I began to let tears stream down my cheeks as my back slipped down the wall. I began to violently rub scar cream on my arms to try and fade them away. I want them to vanish. God I hope no one sees me like this, especially Chris. He's been having enough stress recently.
