It's been one month with Anna in everyone lives. Bryan comes over often to visit Anna and Sarah. Erick tries to come over without Fernando a lot, but that never seems to work out. He can't leave Fernando home alone and nobody will baby sit the kid anymore. Cheyenne knows about Anna, but can't meet her until she comes home from Japan. Sarah and Veronica haven't told Morgan yet, their not sure if they should. As for Veronica family, they stayed in PA for two weeks when they found out about Anna. Life has been good for the family, well it kinda been good. Veronica and Sarah have been fighting a lot on wether or not they should try and figure out how Anna came to be in the woods. Sarah wants to know just incase Anna ask when she's older, who her birth parents are or how she became in the woods. Veronica doesn't just because Anna's birth parents might want her back. It's kinda complicate, but at the same time it's not.

  Bryan and Erick are over today, Fernando is at school so Erick got away easy. Veronica and Sarah are in the kitchen making a final decision on what to do. Anna is playing with her tiger stuff animal with Grandpa Rink. "Mine, mine, mine" Anna said pulling her tiger away from Grandpa Rink. "Baby Anna, you have to share" Bryan said in a very calm voice. "No" Anna said taking her tiger and walking away. Bryan gets up and comes into the kitchen to talk to Sarah. "Is this a bad time?" He ask. "No, what's wrong dad" Sarah said. "I don't mean to tell you how to parent, but Anna needs to learn how to share" Bryan said. "We been trying to teach her" Veronica said leavening the kitchen. Sarah does a face palm and sits down. "What's wrong sweetie?" Bryan ask taking a seat next to Sarah. "It's just hard trying to raise a one year old and have to deal with a wife whom is very strict to the one year old, Veronica has no clue how to raise a baby" Sarah said sounding tried. "I know it's hard, I had to raise four one year olds, but it will get better soon. Veronica will learn she can't be to strict one day" Bryan said, he gives Sarah a pat on the back and gets up. Before Bryan can leave the kitchen, Anna comes in crying. Sarah sees Anna and walks over to her right away. "What's wrong Baby Anna" she ask. "Mom took my tiger!!" Anna said. "It's ok baby Anna, you'll get your tiger back soon" Sarah said picking Anna up. Anna lays her head on Sarah and Bryan leaves the kitchen. "Mom is mean, mom is mean" Anna said. Sarah and Anna leave the kitchen to see what everyone else is doing. "I'll come get him" Erick said hanging up his phone. "What is it?" Sarah ask putting Anna down. "Fernando thought it would be a great idea to throw a chair out the window" Erick said getting up and walking to the door. "Oh god Erick, well have fun with your son" Sarah said taking a seat next to Bryan. Anna plays with her toys for awhile.

    A couple hours later Bryan goes home and Veronica gives Anna her tiger back. "What should we have for dinner?" Veronica ask. "We still have those left over pork chops from yesterday and Anna can have some left over spaghetti" Sarah said. Veronica nods and takes Anna into the kitchen. Sarah puts her lap top away, then goes into the kitchen to reheat the pork chops and spaghetti. "We should try feeding Anna spinach" Veronica said getting a can of spinach out. "You could see if she'll eat it, but if she doesn't like it and throws it up that mess is for you" Sarah said putting the spaghetti away. Veronica opens up the can of spinach, puts it in a bowl, and heat it up in the microwave. Sarah puts the pork chops on two plates and she puts some corn on the plates to. Anna sits patiently in her high chair waiting for her dinner. The spinach is done, Veronica puts it in a bowl and gives it to Anna. Sarah watches what Anna does with the spinach. Anna takes a bite of it, makes a weird face, spits the food out, and picks up the bowl and puts it on her head. "Ewwwww, gross" Baby Anna said. Spinach dips down off of Anna head and onto the floor. Sarah sighs and starts to laugh, Veronica just stares at Anna in shock. "I'll clean Anna up if you clean up the floor" Sarah said getting up from her seat. "Deal" Veronica said turning around. Sarah takes Anna to the bathroom and starts washing her, while Veronica cleans the floor. When Anna is done being bath and the floor is all clean, the three of them sit down and eat dinner. This time Anna doesn't put the food on her head. When their done eating and Anna is in her crib sleeping, Veronica and Sarah start looking for Anna birth parents online.

  They stay up for hours looking for anybody who left their baby in the woods. Nothing comes up, besides for one person. "This girl had a daughter in the same teenage mother home where Anna was born" Sarah said looking at the record. "She has the same blonde hair and same blue eyes, maybe that's her" Veronica said. They read over the record and find out that the girl took the baby home, but then the doctors never seen the baby again for health check ups after August 31. "I think this is Anna birth mother" Sarah said. "I do to" Veronica agreed. "Lets email her" Sarah said. "Let's do it" Veronica agreed to email the girl. Sarah reads though the record and finds the girl email. She clicks on the email, but has no clue what to wright. They both stare at the screen blankly. Final Sarah starts typing really fast. The email reads.
  Dear Jessica Reed
My name is Sarah Rink, we don't know each other at all, but I need to ask you something. Well...I need to know if you had a daughter and left her in the woods 3 months after her first birthday? I know it's personal, but I think my wife and I found your daughter and have been raising her for a month now. Please email me back as soon as you read this.
   Sincere Sarah Rink.
The couple stare at the screen again waiting to see if  she replies. Veronica goes to bed after a couple minutes, but Sarah can't let it go and stays up. After waiting a couple more minutes the laptop goes off. Anna birth mother answer back. The email reads.
Dear Sarah Rink
  I did leave my daughter in the woods by a river in a brown box with a pink and purple blanket. I named her Megan, but I didn't want to. I don't want to explain why through email if you don't mind I will like to meet you and your wife tomorrow at Red Robin 3:00pm.
  Sincere Jessica Reed.
With that email and a place set Sarah can rest. She'll tell Veronica in the morning and take Anna over to her dad's house. Sarah writes a quick email saying Veronica and her will be their, but Anna will be with her dad. After the email is sent, Sarah checks on Anna and goes to bed.

A/N: I'm going to make some clarification. Bryan is Sarah dad and Grandpa Rink. I know it may seem confusing, but it's not if you realize Sarah last name is Rink. With that said it's pretty obvious that Bryan is Grandpa Rink. At the end of this book I'll put the roles, looks of the characters, and who plays who In the story(last names will be replace with stars).Hope you all are enjoying the story.
Love y'all☯️🖤😻
