Crossing Paths *ON HOLD*

Chapter 14: Mothering Talia

BRITTNEY POV

---------------------

Me, Aaron, and Talia run to Tammy's house. "Please please be alive!" I plead. We run into the small house and run into her room. There's a note written on her chest.

NOTE

Dear Brittney and Talia,

I may have died in my sleep if I haven't I will soon. I know that I'm 57 but I need you to take care of Talia. She's a good girl. Hopefully you take her into your arms. Please be a good mother to her. I have all her nessesary needs in her room. Her toys and clothing are already packed. As said, please take good care of my grandaughter. I'll be watching over you.

Love,

Grandma Tam.

I walk over to Tammy and shake her. "TAMMY, TAMMY PLEASE DON'T DO THIS! PLEASE!" I cry. I look over a Talia. "D-did Gwama Tammy take a vacation to heaven?" She stammers. I nod. Talia starts to cry and so does Aaron. "Is she with momma and daddy now?" Talia asks. "Mhmm." I say. "I WANT MOMMA!" Talia yells. Talia reaches her arms out to me. Aaron passes Talia to me and steps back. I wipe my tears. Talia cries into my shoulder. Aaron hugs my and Talia keeps crying. "I want her cremated." I say. Aaron nods. I walk out of the room with Talia still on my shoulder.

"You need to get dressed." I say. I slowy walk into Talia's pink room. I walk and pick out a pink sweater and blue shorts. "Here babe." I say. Talia quickly changes. "Do you have anything you want to carry?" I ask. "My blankey!" She says. "What does it look like?" I ask, "It's white with blue duckies." She says. I open some boxes and find the blankey.

Talia smiles and holds it up to her nose. "Gwama sawid it was mama's" Talia smiles. "Okay babes" I smile. Aaron walks in the room. I walk over to him and put my forehead on his. I peck his lips. "Mama and Daddy used to do dat." Talia smiles. I look over to Talia and she has a knitted out hat on.

"Let's go get you to be my daughter." I say. "YAY!" Talia smiles. "Piggy!" Talia says. Aaron picks her up on his back. "Okay but first mommy and daddy have to get dressed too. We walk down to the basement and search for Tammy's garage. soon Talia points out where it is and we walk out to the garage. "Holy crap!" I smile. I look at the black mini van. "This looks so new!" I say. "Gwama got it yesterday. She sawid that it was for ya" Talia giggles. "OMG!" I yell. I run to the driver's seat and look for the egnition keys. I open the glove box and the keys are in there.

"Is there a car seat?" I ask. I look in the back seat and see a cute car seat with anchors on it. "THERE'S A CAR SEAT!" Talia yells. She throws her hands up in the air. "Aaron can you buckle her up?" I ask. "Sure." Aaron smiles. I get out of the driver's seat to press the garage button. I open the garage and get back into the car. "Thankyou Tammy." I whisper. A single tear slips out of my eye. "Ready?" I ask. Aaron slips in the passenger's seat. "Ready." He answers. "WEADY!" Talia screams. I look on the gps. "Children's adoption center." I say.

SKIP TO WHEN THEIR ALREADY DRESSED AND HALFWAY THERE! (Insert spongbob quote)

I look at the rear view mirror and see Talia half alseep. "Babe." Aaron says. "Mhm?" I ask. "I love you." He smiles. "I love you too." I answer. It's funny how much has happened today. We drive in the parking lot of the adoption center. "Here we go." I say. I get out of the van and get Talia. Me and Aaron walk into the center hand in hand. "It's alright babe" He whispers. "Hello.would you like to adopt?" A woman asks. "Uhm no. This little girl I have here recently lost her parents and legal guardian. Earlier today her grandmother had passed and gave her into my responsibility." I say. "Would you like to give her here?" The lady asks

"Uhm No ma'am. I want to adopt her." I say. "Alright, please sign these papers." She smiles. The lady hands me a few papers. I give Talia to Aaron. "Alright, looks like Talia Rose Holt here is 3 years old." The lady says typing on her computer. I sit at her desk and sign all of the papers. I hand them to her. "Could we have some movers move her stuff over to our home?" I ask.. "Uhm yes. Where would you like to move?" She asks.

"3245 Rayliegh Dr." I answer. "Alright what home would you want to move from?" The lady asks. "6745 GreensLive Rd." I answer. "Alright." She smiles. "You may take her now." She smiles. I thank her and walk over to Aaron and Talia. "Let's go home." I smile. "Home?" Aaron asks. "With the boys." I say. "Oh." Aaron smiles. We drive to the boy's house and get there in no time.

I slowly walk into the house with a sleeping Talia on my shoulder. I turn around and see all the confused-looking boys. "Brittney i-is that your baby?" Taylor asks. "No! I adopted her!" I answer. "Why did you adopt a 3 year old?" Cam asks. "She had no where to go. Her grandma passed away. couch couch Tammy." I answer. "Oh!" The boys say. "Hey Shawn can you take her to someone's room and sing her a lulaby?" I ask. "Sure, where are you going?" Shawn asks.

"I'm moving back in!" I smile. All the boys cheer. "Aaron is too." I smile. The cheer louder. "Shh! Talia is sleeping!" I scold. Me and Shawn walk into Matt's room. We lay her on the bed and start to sing a lulaby'

I figured it out
I figured it out from black and white
Seconds and hours
Maybe they had to take some time

I know how it goes
I know how it goes from wrong and right
Silence and sound
Did they ever hold each other tight
Like us
Did they ever fight

Like us"

Me and Shawn sing. I look down at Talia. Little snores are sneaking out of her mouth. "Shawn please watch her while I'm gone." I plead. Shawn nods. I kiss his cheek and walk out of the room. I drop Aaron off at his apartment. I drive to the O2L house. "Ive moved around alot." I say to myself. I slowly walk up to the from door and unlock it. I walk up to my room and pack all of my stuff.

Ricky walks in the room. "Brittney are you leaving?" He asks. I nod. "Can we still have Poke'mon battles? Or-or meetup in animal crossing?" He asks with tears in his eyes. "Ricky of couse." I smile. "One last game?" He asks. "Sure." I smile. I pull my purple DS out of my purse. I pick Nine Tails and Ricky picks Pikachu. After a few minutes I'm lose the game. "I fucking hate that iron tail." I say. "Love ya!" Ricky laughs. I give Ricky a hug and say my good byes to everyone but Kian.

I grab my suitcase and walk to the min van.

Today was different.
