Mrs.Anderson

Chapter 3

  It's 8:30 Sunday morning and once again the little girl,whose name I found out was Alexis Anderson,was cuddled up to my chest watching cartoons. I made the grown up and responsible choice in letting her stay with me because it was ovious that she didn't have anyone. Ever scince that day a week ago, we have been attached to the hip. She is such a sweet three year old and I'm already treating her like my own child.

  After that night we had a really long talk to get to know  each other. She told me quite a few intersting things, but one in particular had me speachless. The women I had caught him with was her mother. That let me know she really didnt give a rats ass about her child and it broke my heart. To top it all off her father is in jail. He's all she talks about and its so cute. What did he do ? I have no clue.

  Today I'm taking Lexi with me to Sunday dinner and to meet my family. I just hope it goes smoothly. I looked down at Lexi to see her looking dead at me smiling.

"You hungry?" I asked smiling back at her.

"Yesh, ooo Ella can me have ceweal?" she aksed. I just love how talkative and happy she is.

"Of cousre babygirl, lets go"

We got out of bed and headed towards the kitchen. There was a knock at the door and I went to open it only to be attacked by my niece Justice.

"Tee-tee!" she screamed at the top of her lungs,while jumping on me. This girl is so dramatic she acts as if we havent seen each other in month in reality I was just over the house last weekend.

"Hey Lady bug" I greeted her calling her by her pet name I  gave to her when she was first born. Then I put her back down.

"Mrs.Parks" I greeted older sister Kiera. She always get all smily when I call her that, or talk about her marrige with her husband Chris. In love asses.

"Hi sissy" she replied giving a kiss on the cheek and walking in then sitting down on the couch.

"Tee-tee who is that?, she's pretty." Justice asked. She is such a genuine five year old.

"You guys this is Alexis, Alexis this is my sister Kiera and niece Justice." I introduced them, but before anything else could be said Justice grabbed Lexis hand and ran towards the back. I looked back at me sister, she looked confused and excited at the same time.

"So" she started,getting comfortable "What the hell is going on exactly?"she asked with a look that said 'I want the truth'. She uses it all the time I hate it but i know i can't lie to her. She never really liked him. Everytime they were around each other insults were thrown back and forth. I told her everything that happened without skipping a single detail. When I was done she was pacing the floor looking pissed off. One down five more to go I thought.

"That son of a bitch, I told you he was no good from the jump.You should of killed his sorry ass."She was livid but I couldn't help but slightly snicker. This girl is crazy I know Chris catches hell every night.

"I'm glad you took in that cutie girl, aww my baby sis is growing up imma cry" she continued, fake crying and fanning her eyes. I just shook my head and laughed at her,then the girls came back in the room.

"Mommy can I stay here?" asked Justice.

" No baby we have to go home daddy is waiting" She told her getting up to leave.

"Alright, bye sissy, and bye Alexis it was meeting you" She said giving us both a hug.

"Bye" Alexis and I waved and I closed the door.

"Ella?"

"Wassup babygirl? " I questioned, returning to my previous task of fixing us cereal.

"I call u mommy?"she asked. My face broke out to the most idiotic smile ever. Here I was with this little girl, who I'm convinced was put in my life for a reason,wanting to call me mommy. Any and everyone who knows me, knows I love and want kids. I might have skipped a few steps but I could care less, here's my chance.
