Adopting Madison

Adopting Madison 22

"Stay here, I'm going to get you a towel. " Daddy says setting me down, and he leaves the bathroom. I look around the bathroom and climb up the toilet, and sat on the sink. I grabbed the cream that Daddy puts on his face and put some on my face. 

"I'm going to be like Daddy and Grampa." I say to myself giggling.

Liam' s Point Of View

As I stepped in the bathroom, I immediately regretted leaving her in the bathroom.

"Look Daddy, I'm like you and Grampa. I have hair on my chin!" Madison giggles putting more shaving cream on her face. I slip my phone out and take a quick picture of her.

"Silly, let's wipe that off your face and put you in the tub." I say opening the sink faucet.

Liam' s Point Of View

"Why don't we go to Grandma and Grampa ' s house?" I suggest putting Madison in denim shirt and buttoning it up. "Yeah!"Madison squeals jumping up and down on the bed. "Okay, button up the last two whilst I look for your skirt." I say carefully sitting her down. "Are you going to stay there or are you going to leave?" Madison asks.

"I'm going to stay, why do you ask?" I question, "Because you always leave. Is Mommy coming, too?" Madison asks. "No, no, she won't." I reply grabbing the black skirt. I put on the black skirt and grabbed the brush. "No Daddy, I don't like the brush!" Madison whines sliding off the bed and running out the room.

As usual, she goes to her hiding spot under the piano. "Get out or we won't see Grampa and Grandma." I say crouching down. She shakes her head, "What if I buy you some candy to take to their house." I bribe, her eyes sparkle. "Okay!" she gets out from underneath.

"Honey, why don't you go outside whilst we talk." I tell Madison giving her, her Barbie doll. "Why?" she questions taking the doll, "Because the adults are talking." I reply. She groans and goes outside.

Madison' s Point Of View

I wander around the backyard, there's only a swing back here and Daddy isn't here to push me. I hear a twig snap and see a bunny scurry off. "Bunny!" I giggle walking towards it, sadly, it hops away to the front yard. I decide to follow it to the front yard but lose it.

"Aw." I frown stomping my foot. I go back to the backyard and sit on the swings. "Elsa, do you want to build a snowman?" I say using my Anna doll. "There is no snow, Anna!" I say wiggling my Elsa doll. "Okay then..." I giggle setting my dolls aside.

Liam' s Point Of View

"Liam, you know, instead of wasting money, you can just let Madison stay with Dani whilst you're gone." Mum infers. "Because, she needs someone to teach her also." I defend myself, "I'm sure Danielle can teach Madison stuff, too." Dad speaks. "Can she teach her different languages?" I ask, "What? Why are you wanting your four year old daughter to speak different languages?" Mum asks.

"Because." I say. "Liam, you do know that Dani needs to be part of Madison's life, too." Dad says, "So you're taking sides." I conclude. "No- not at all!" Dad defends himself. "Liam, do what's best for Madison. That's all I need to say." Mum folds her hands.

After she said that, Madison came in. "There's nothing to do Daddy." Madison sighs walking over and sitting beside me. "Why don't you go to Danielle'  s house and sort things out, while Madison stays here." Dad suggests. "Fine," I give in, "just for awhile."

"Please, please Liam. She needs me in her life, and you know that!" Danielle begs, it looked as if she was going to cry. "You need to start doing what she needs Liam!" Danielle croaks. "What am I supposed to do with the nanny then?" I ask throwing my hands in front of me. "Fire her!" Danielle says in a duh-tone.

I hesitated whether to answer or not.

"Think of Madison's needs, Liam." Danielle said in a hushed voice.

"What about the public? What are you going to do when they find out about you?" I question in a rude voice.

"Why the heck would the public be paying attention to me; I'm not your level famous." Danielle asks. "Maybe because you're holding my daughter." I snap. "Your daughter. Right, I forgot. She's your daughter." Danielle mutters. "I don't want her near that guy and his kid." I mumble.

"Ben and his son, Alexander." Danielle corrects me rolling her eyes. "Whatever." I raise my voice. "She's my daughter as well." Danielle shouts.

"So your signature is signed on the papers as well?" I shout back. She gasped in surprise and bit her lip; shaking her head and looked down. "Get out, now." Danielle whispers in a hurt voice.
