Caitlans POV:

Mom is 7 months pregnant now. I really can't wait to be a big sister. My fur babies actually get along really well too. All four of them like to sleep on my bed. I still miss Bisou but I know she's with us everyday.

Today, me, mom and dad have got stuff out the attic and just going through it all.  We found some photos of when dad was younger, and photos of me growing up. We had fun looking through all the memories. Out of one of the boxes, I picked up some papers and had a look. My heart sank. "Back in a min." I said, trying not to let my voice crack. "Ok baby girl." Dad smiled. I went upstairs and sat on my bed. Next thing I knew, I broke down in tears....

Jeffrey's POV:

Caitlan has just gone upstairs, she must need the bathroom. I kept going through my box until Hilarie said "Shit. Jeff." She handed me some pieces of paper which is the adoption form for Caitlan. "Fuck. Where were they?" I asked worried. "On Cait's pile." She said sadly. "Now we know why she went upstairs." I sighed. "I'll go talk to her."

I went upstairs and opened Cait's bedroom door. She was laid on her bed, but facing away from the door. "Hey sweetheart." I said quietly but no reply. I heard small sniffles. "Talk to me please Caity." I said upset and sat on the bed. "Why didn't you tell me I'm adopted? I always thought I was yours." She sobbed. "Baby girl, you are mine. Blood or not. For years I'd wanted a little girl so I went to the Girls Home and you were a week old. You was crying like crazy and once I held you in my arms I knew that you're my little girl, you stopped crying and I fell in love with you immediately." I told her. "What happened to my birth parents?" She asked. "I don't know. If you wanted to search for them-" It'd kill me if she wanted to but she cut me off. "No. I don't want to. I've got the perfect parents already. It's just when the baby comes, what if you don't want me anymore because you have a child that's yours by blood? I'd feel like a black sheep." My heart is just breaking. "That will never happen darling. I promise you. Me and mom will still love you just as much as we do now. And we will never want to get rid of you. No matter how old you are, you'll always be our baby girl. And you're gonna be the best big sister." I smiled through my tears. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you Cait." "It's ok daddy. I'm sorry for upsetting you." I brought her into a hug. "You didn't babygirl. I promise." I gave her a huge kiss on her head. "Mom you can come in." Cait chuckled through her tears. Hilarie came in, surprised. "How'd you know I was listening?" She smiled. "I heard the floorboards creek." Cait said. "Your dad is right though baby, no matter what we'll always love you. You're our baby girl." Hilarie assured her. "Thank you." Cait smiled and I wiped her tears. "Never think that I don't love you. It doesn't matter if you're adopted or not, you're ours. And I wouldn't have it any other way." I told Cait. "Do you mean that daddy?" She smiled. I just cuddled her. "Of course I do baby. Come on let's go downstairs." I helped Cait off the bed and the three of us headed back down to the living room.

We spent the rest of the day just having fun looking through all the boxes. Although this wasn't the way I hoped for Caitlan to find out that she's adopted, we shared some tears but adopting her was and still is the best decision I've made. She's my, sorry mine and Hilarie's baby girl. And she's gonna be the best big sister to her new brother, who will be with us soon. How did I get so bloody lucky?
