Jerrie's Adoption Story

Chapter Eight

Jade's POV

   Today has been a crazy day. First we went to the shops to get Zoey some warmer clothes. Fall is nearing and school will be starting too.

   Perrie's real stressed about the school business, I mean with our career and all, we travel a lot. She wants her to go to this nice private school, but the problem with that is, we travel. She considered online school because we can take it anywhere, but she's worried Zo will have trouble with that. She asked my opinion I told her that we should try online first and see how it goes. Two reasons: 1. She won't goes into trouble. 2. She can stay with us and not have to have some kind of nanny. And I know Zoey will NOT like that.

   After we were done shopping we went to this little Café. It was nice and cozy and had some good tea and biscuits. The last couple days Zoey has really tired. She has no fever but she can't hold down any food. It worries me a bit but we just try to make her comfortable. I look over and see Zo on Jess's lap sleeping. Maybe we should take her to the doctor. "Pez?" She looks up at me and smiles. "Do you think we should take Belle to the doctor?" She looks down sadly and shrugs. Leigh looks at her and asked what's wrong. But Perrie didn't answer, just got up and walked to the bathroom.

   We all look at each other and Leigh finally speaks up, "Jadey I think you should go talk to her. I think she'd tell you" I just nod and walk towards the bathroom. Once I open the door I see Pez starting at herself through the mirror. I slowly walk behind her and rest my hand on her shoulder. "Pezza... what's wrong hun?" I ask gently. She looks at me with those ocean blue eyes that I've falle- 'What the hell Jade!? She's your best friend!' I scold myself. Once she gets herself together she looks back at me and says quietly, "what if there's something wrong with her? What if she's really sick?" "Pez baby I'm sure it's just a stomach bug or something" I say trying to reassure her. It works a little. "Can we take her to the doctor now?" She asked me. I mean, I'm pretty sure you have to make an appointment first, I'll ask the girls when we go back out. You see Perrie and I are the babies of the group, we don't do scheduling and all that good stuff. Normally Leigh or Jess gets us an appointment. "I don't know Pez we might have to make an appointment first, I don't know if they would take walk-ins." She nods and says she's ready to go back out.

   Once we get back to the girls they look at us worried. "Do we have to make an appointment for the doctor.. or can we just  show up?" I asked our two older band mates. "It depends on who your doctor is. What pediatrician did you chose for her?" I look at Perrie, I have no idea it took so much just to go to the doctor. I thought you just called to get an appointment or went filled out some papers.. guess I was wrong. "Ahh I forget.. wait I might have the paper!" Perrie exclaims. "Mommy be quiet" we hear a small voice whimper. "Sorry baby.." Perrie says back in a hushed tone.

   Perrie is currently looking through her bag trying to find the paper work for the doctor. I look at Jess who's trying to look up different pediatricians to see if any of them sound familiar to Perrie, but having trouble as she's holding Zo. "Here Jess let me take her" I gently lift Zoey into my arms. I look at Leigh who is on the phone with someone, I think it's management. But I'm not too sure.

   Eventually we were able to take Zoey to the doctor and found out it's just a stomach bug and with warm baths and some meds. Once we get home I wake Zoey up and lead her inside. "Where's Auntie Le Le And Jess?" I heard her ask. "They went home, they told me to tell you that they hope you feel better! And to call them as soon as you do!" I tell her happily. She giggles, I love that sound.

   Perrie went to go pick up Zo's medicine while I run her a nice warm bath. Hopefully that'll make her feel better. "Come on babe lets go get you in the bath tub yeah? You stink" I joke with her. She laughs at me and starts running "Hey no running please, In plus I don't want you to get sick" I call out to her. She soon stops and sits down. I crouch down next to her and ask if she's alright. "I'm fine just a bit dizzy is all" "I told you not to run. Come on now" I pull her up and take her in my arms to carry her to the bathroom. "Alright bug, the water feel alright?" I ask as she feels the water. She nods excitedly "Can we add bubbles too!?" I get up to see if we have any more bubble bath and I don't see any. But then I remember I just bought some, but it's downstairs. "Alright Belle the bubble bath is downstairs so I'm going to go get it, while you hop in Okay? But please don't go under or anything until I get back, Alright?" We have a big bath tub and Zoey like to go under and pretend she's like a little fish. I hurry up and go get the bubble and come back to see none other than Zoey under the water. "Zoey Edwards! Did I not tell you to wait until I got back?" I ask with a hand on my hip. I'm not actually mad but I can't let her think that. "I'm sorry but I really wanted to" she tell me looking down. I take her chin in my hand and make her look at me, "it's alright darling, but please when I tell you to do something, listen to me." She nods and reaches for the bubble bath. "No I'm putting it in last time you did it you poured the whole thing in and bubbles got everywhere" I remind her laughing.
