His Princess, Without Him [Book 2]

#28 Meeting With John Again

Niall's P.O.V.

The day after that, I went back to John and appologized for my behaviour. Luckily for me he accepted those appologies and said that he made a mistake too. 

"So, I still tried to contact those people and they have responded to that mail-" I looked at him with wide eyes, not knowing if I could believe what my ears just heard. They responded, we were one step closer to finging Lauren back. 

"they only don't know wether it is or ins't a good idea to have you involved in Lauren's new life. However, they do have some things they'd like to discus some things that they found out a couple days ago." 

So they really thought that I was a danger to her, that it would be a mistake to be close to her again. That was hurtful, but there was nothing much to do about it, I had to accept that they thought this was the best for my baby. I just had to change their minds when I'd see them. 

"They would like to meet you next week, I will arange the place and inform you and the when we know the time and location. And when this is finished, we can continue talking to the people from the social service about the chances to get her back and wether it would be optional to make that happen in the upcoming few months, we obviously want the best for her, as soon as possible." I completely agreed with him, except the fact that I wished she would be here within a few days. 

But I still knew that that would be impossible, we still had a pretty long way to go before she'd be mine again, but talking to her new parents would be a great first step. 

"That sounds great, I guess. So we can only talk to them, not to her?" I asked, just to be sure, just to hear that I was right, that I couldn't see her again. 

"I am really sorry Niall but you can't. We have to be greatfull that they even want to talk to us about this. Now you have to oppertunity to tell them that there might be a chance that they won't have her for long. If they know this now, they can already get used to that idea instead of hearing it maybe one week before we can take her back." 

John had an plan, if he wouldn't be atleast over 50 per cent sure that we had a chance to get her back he wouldn't talk like this. That was for sure, John wasn't that kind of person who would let people believe things that were already doomed to faill before even started to try. 

"So this is like telling them we are fighting.. fighing them actually?" Emma asked, second thoughts clear in her voice. What was wrong this time? 

"You can see it like that, but you can also see it as..." John thought for a moment, probably looking for a good way to explain what we were doing. 

"It's like the system they use for guide dogs." Guide dogs? What the hell, was my first thought but then I remembered, I didn't only know John on a buissnes level, also on a personal level. 

He used to be a kid I knew from school, not really a friend but he tagged along at the playground and the soccerfield. 

That's where I learned that his sister was blind, and needed a guide dog. That's why he came up with that comparison. 

"They have taken care of her, because her home situation was too complicated and unstable in order tp be doing the things they had to do to give her a good future. But once everything is settled down again she can come back to grow up in her original home again." I had to say that this was really like the situation is right now. 

"And if we inform them about that soon enough they have time to let it sink in and find peace in that fact. They also love her and we can't just rip her from them, that would exactly be the same as what happened with you." God damn, John really has an amazing working pair of brains!
