Chapter 5

 After my parents had finished painting the room i started putting in all the furniture and decorations that i had bought. got all the sheets washed in baby detergent half way through getting everything finished my phone rang. It was CPS "is this Mrs.Kendra " " yes Sir this is her"   "We have News on the little girl that was found on you're door step. No relatives were found for her she is currently about to be a child of the state and you had expressed interest in adopting the baby whose name we found out to Amara Jones. We were wondering if youre still interested in going through the adoption process with her." " YES Sir I still want to adopt Amara"  After talking with him for awhile longer he told me that they would be bringing Amara  over to my house next week to start the trial period to see if she felt like a good fit for me. I knew even if she had problems i would have still kept her that little girl had been in my heart since the night i found her on my doorstep. i had been through so much in the last few months to just let her go like that. She was already my daughter and i would continue fighting for her no matter what. little did i know now that i would be fight but not through test or trials but from something completely different. 

                                                              (Two years have passed )

Today was official adoption day Amara is official two years old and on her way to being three. I can't believe how time has passed and now I will official be her mother. my parents and my sister are also in the court room  they could't more thrilled that Amara was going to be legally apart of the family over the last two years they have all spent so much time with her. Even going so far as planing her first birthday and my parents have spoiled her rotten. but we all couldn't stop our selves even with all the spoiling she is such an angel.  As the judge handed over the paper work to official made her mine i couldn't stop beaming with a happiness and joy we all had plans to celebrate when it was over. We stopped at a Mexican Restaurant first the only thing that Amara has seemed to pick up that we can't seem to break is her growling at people my parents assured me that it was just a faze, That even as a kid her i age i had a problem with pretending to be a cat i would even meow at people. i just brushed it off as something she picked up from my sisters dog or maybe the tv. But while we were being seated Amara kept growling at the couple next to use they kept looking at her like they were offended by the fact that she growling at them. I apologized to them profusely even went as far as to move her to the other side of the table to make her stop and not disturb anyone elses night. all through dinner they kept glancing towards her an frowning. I started to feel weird about it but brushed it off as they thought she didn't have any manners and was a weird or special child.  When we went to go pay i noticed that they had also decided to leave and pay and the man kept taking deep breaths behind us honestly it was starting to creep me out. I nudged my father tilt my head towards the man behind me he took the hint and switched places with me.  As we left the Restaurant I kept feeling that we were being watched.  once i got home i kept feeling paranoid i looked the doors and checked to make sure that all the windows where locked. i just couldn't shake the feeling like something bad was gonna happen.  I got Amara ready for bed and put her down in her crib i laid down on the futon in her room and went to sleep not really wanting to be away from her after today. I couldn't believe that today she was official mine no more check ins we had done it. i went to sleep with a smile on my face forgetting about the creep couple.  as the days passed the couple was completely forgotten till one night coming home after picking up Amara from my parents house I noticed that my front door was wide open. I knew i had locked it when i left for work that morning, I backed out the drive way and started driving to my sisters house that was closer by then my parents i knew she would be home from work by now to. after i parked in her drive way i called the cops and told them what had happened and my address and where i was currently. i also called my sister to see if she was awake after explaining what happened she was already at the front door by the time i got out the car. Me and Amara stayed there for awhile waiting on the police to call back saying that it was safe to go home. when a knock on my sisters door happened Me and her just stared at each other for a second before my sister motioned for me to stay there while she went to the door. She picked up her hand gun out of her purse and clicked the safety off before walking towards the door opening it slowly only to put the safety back on and put the gun down on the table.  She opened the door to show to police officers standing there i let go of a breath i didn't even know i was holding an Amara started to wiggle i looked down confused apparently i had hugged her tight to my body in my panic. The police officers came in to talk to me apparently it wasn't a robbery the people who broke in had left a note behind.
