I'm in the car on my way home with Annie and Pete in the front and me Luna, Ina and Willow in the back(it's a four seater)
Harry, Jack and Lily are at home with the babysitter.
I'm about to fall asleep when I realise that Ina, Luna and Willow are asleep.
I think out loud 'I'm so glad Pete and Annie adopted me.'
Annie looks back and smiles.
'Pete is-' She begins.
'Dad is.' I correct her.
'Well now dad is smiling even more.' She says.
'I like your ear rings, Mom.' I say to Annie.
'I like your personality, Not.' Mom Says.
I giggle and reach into my pocket for my lucky charm.
————————————————————
I lie in bed, the blankets up to my chin and my bear and fox teddy next to me.
I can hear Ina,Luna and Willow whispering about whether adding fractions with different denominators is easy or hard.
Personally I find it easy.
Probable cause I'm 16.
I pick up my charm of my bedside table and watch as the light from Luna's lamp reflects off of the green beads.
I'm so lucky to be here.
Thank you, Pete.
Thank you, Annie.
Thank you for being my family.
