Adopted Without a Sin

Chapter Eighty-One

Thompson hugs her back, rubbing her back. "You're all grown up, you are going to be taller!" He says. "I doubt it. I can't believe your here." Lafayette mumbles. "You're here! You're really here, I thought I would never see again!" She continues, looking up at him. "You pulled me and my sister out the fire."

"Yeah. Your sister, Margot, she is doing great." Thompson says. "Is she really?" Lafayette asks cheerfully, soon getting a nod in response from Thompson. "A family moved in next to my apartment about four years ago. Margot soon recognized me when I offered to help them move in." He tells her.

Lafayette tightens her hug, trying her best to remember back when she was living with biological family. It was too long ago though, but she tried to remember. All she could remember is when he pulled her and Margot out the fire and one or two times when she babysat them and their brothers.

They two just stood there for a minute, Lafayette refuses to not let go. Silence filled the room after Misha had to go do photo ops and Vikki needed to get back to West and Maison. "Margot remembers you," Thompson states.

Joy fills Lafayette's eyes as she looks back up at him. "She does? She remembers me! It's been so long!" She giggles. "But she doesn't want to-" Thompson pauses and looks down at Lafayette. He soon saddens a little bit. Lafayette gives him a questioning look, leaning back slightly.

"What is it?" She asks him. Thompson sighs and suddenly breaks the hug. "Margot doesn't want to see you Lafayette. She knows your Misha Collins' daughter, she is afraid that you have changed too much." Thompson tells her softly. Lafayette looks down at her feet, fidgeting with her fingers.

Silence again, but soon it was cut off with Thompson's voice. "Lafayette." He says, an unfamiliar tone Lafayette can't understand. "She probably hates me." She says, crossing her arms, feeling hurts. "Don't worry about it, I don't think she understands," Thompson tells her. "Understands what, that I'm a celebrity's kid. That I'm probably a spoiled little brat." Lafayette mumbles.

She hears Thompson sigh and she shifts her weight to her left foot. "From what I know, your not a brat." Thompson tries to comfort with words. He tilts his head once he realizes she does nothing to respond to him. From flashbacks, Lafayette remembers that Thompson wasn't the best at comforting. He tries, he really does try.

Thompson tries to think of what to do to comfort. Nothing comes to mind. He is too afraid to do anything anyway, he doesn't remember how to comfort her after the years of her being in the orphanages. Regrets soon fill his mind, he was too poor at the time to adopt kids.

Sniffles fill the silent room, getting Thompson's attention. "Hey, don't cry." He soon hugs her. "Thompson, I get why Margot wouldn't want to be my sister again. I might come off as a brat, I'm also a bit sensitive. I don't know why I am crying, I'm so stupid!" Lafayette groans. "Don't you say that again," Thompson demands, voice stern.

Lafayette looks up at him, furrowing her eyebrows slightly. "Don't say your stupid." Thompson says to her. "How am I not. Margot doesn't like me, she never did. She was a terrible sister anyways, she always shut me out before she got  adopted." Lafayette says him. "So why do you care?" Thompson asks.

"I'm just overwhelmed, I'm sorry!" Lafayette cries, backing away from him. "I barely remember her, or you! I only have flashbacks!" She continues, running her hands through her hair. "How are you here?" She soon Says, almost yelling.

Thompson steps forward, but Lafayette stays in place, surprisingly. "I had gotten contact with your mother, Vikki." He shortly answers her. "How'd you do that? How'd you and mom get to know each other?" Lafayette starts to freak out.

Not that much after Vikki left, Misha hears Lafayette's voice through the walls. Quickly, he went through the doors to the room to see his daughter backed up from Thompson. Lafayette is almost in tears out of fear. A tear runs down Thompson cheek when she looks at Misha.

"How'd you get here?" Lafayette asks before walking back into Misha. He soon wraps her arms around her, whispering in her ear, "Hey, calm down, no need to cry kitten.". Lafayette sniffles a little and a few tears run down her cheeks. Wiggling a little, Lafayette tries to get out of Misha's grip but soon quits, knowing that it would be useless.

Thompson looks down at his feet and wipes his face quickly. Misha looks over at him, soon meeting his eye. 'I'm sorry' Thompson's mouths, but Misha lifted his hand to mean his okay. Thomson soon speaks up, "I'm here because I have news of your father.".
