Wilder Dreams

Chapter 43

"Are you aware of what you just said?" Mandy the foster care lady said.

"Yes I am very aware" I tell her. Trust me I'm very aware. She walks back to me holding both the kids hands. She let's go of Savannahs hand and goes into her purse.

'This tells you where they stay and, that's the number if you need to call. We're open tomorrow" she tells me giving me the card with information.

"We're gonna get a mommy!" Savannah tells Conner excitedly. She's so cute. They look so happy. They both try to hug me, but since I'm tall they hug my legs. I ruffle Connor's hair.

"I'll see you guys soon okay?" I tell them as I bend down to their level. They give me cute cheesy smiles. I get back up to face the Mandy.

"I'll be there Tomorrow" I tell her. She nods and they walk to the exit. Well I just did that. I'm adopting kids on my birthday. I walk back into the field and head to the locker room. Music is blaring and Kelly dancing with Sonnett. I walk to my cubby and pack my things. I put my sneakers on and I don't even bother changing out of gear. I walk to Alex who's already changed

"Let's go see Tobin" I tell her. She nods and grabs her bag. We walk outside

"Hey!" I hear someone say behind us. We both turn around and see my sister in her gear too, running towards us with her bag.

"I want to go with you" she tells us. We get inside the rented SUV. Alex texts Dawn.

"Hey I have something to tell you guys." I tell them without looking at them, just keeping my eyes on the road.

"So uh.. I met this woman and she had these 2 adorable little kids with her. So I walked up to them and I talked with them for quite some time. They are in foster care" I say to them, I take a quick look at Alex. She got sad when I said foster care.

"I'm going to adopt them tomorrow" I say quickly. We were at a stoplight.

"What?!" They both say in unison. Felt good to get that off my chest.

"Sage are you joking?" My sister tells me putting her hand on my shoulder. Alex is looking at me shocked.

"I'm being serious. I'm adopting them tomorrow. You guys.. I had this special feeling for them honestly." I tell them seriously. I turn into a street.

"I mean are you like sure? This is like a huge huge step sis!" Mykayla yells out. Alex puts her hand on my thigh

"If that's what you want, I support you" she tells me. I give her a small smile. We make it to the hospital. We see Dawn and a few other ATs sitting in the waiting room. We quickly walk to them and Dawn sees us and gets up to talk to us

"How is she?" I ask her worryingly.

"She broke her Shin bone. She's going through surgery right now. Her Tibia fracture is really severe. She needed surgery. I'm sad to say this but she could be out for 5 months or more" Dawn tells us. We nod in silence. We take a seat by Dawn.

"When do you think she'll be out? So we can see her" I ask Dawn. She puts her clipboard down. She was writing down some things about Tobin excuse of leave off the team for a while.

"Uh she'll probably be out in an hour or 2" Dawn tells me and goes back to writing. We stay there for 3 hours. A few people giving me weird looks. Yes I know, I'm in my dirty gear and smell like total sweat. Sorry it's summer?

A doctor comes out

"Here for Tobin Heath?" He questions Dawn as she gets up. She nods

"She's out, you can see her.-" I don't stay long to hear what he said. I go to the nurse at the desk.
