Where Do We Go?

Chapter 8

Maria's Point of View

Maria was the first to wake up. She rolled onto her side, so she can look at her beautiful daughter sleeping. She moves some of the hair that was in Amelia face. Once, she did thought that having Amelia was a huge mistake. Maria thought that her life would be so much better if she would have had the abortion done, but as she looks at Amelia now, that would have been the biggest mistake she ever made. Even though Caleb was a total jackass for declining Amelia as his daughter, Maria could not help feeling bless that Caleb gave her a loving, adorable little girl.

Maria knew that Caroline and Natalie would be by today to pick her and Amelia up today, so she had to wake her sleeping angel up.

"Amelia, sweetie, wake up," Maria softly said as she shook Amelia a little. Amelia groans, then rolls onto her stomach. She tried to cover her head with the cover, but Maria pulled it away from her.

"Amelia, you have to wake up. Mr. Frazier's sister and mother will be here soon." Maria explained. 

Amelia sat up in bed and yawned, "Natalie is coming?"

"Yes, sweetie," Maria informed her and just like that Amelia was out of the bed, and she was headed to the bathroom. 

"If I would have known that's all it will take to get her out of bed, then I would have just said Natalie's name," Maria thought to herself as she laugh and shook her head at her daughter.

When Amelia came from out the bathroom, she was wearing a black Floral Pattern with a yellow belt hi-low sleeveless dress with leggings, a jean jacket, and snow boots. Maria could not believe how beautiful Amelia looks. Natalie brought Maria and Ameria a whole new wardrobe since their stuff was sold to GoodWIll.

"What are you going to wear today, mommy?" Amelia asked.

"I really don't know," Maria told her daughter.

"Can I pick for you, please?" Amelia asked with her pleading eyes.

"Sure, sweetie," Maria gave in, "Just make sure I look as beautiful as you."

Amelia blushed and gave her mother a kiss on the cheeks before Maria when into the bathroom.

When Maria walked out of the bathroom with her robe on, she sees Amelia putting a violet Coach Tour Dress and a gray blazer on the bed and gray knee-high boots on the floor. Maria could not lie, but she baby have good taste in clothing.

Once she was dressed, Maria and Amelia heads downstairs to the kitchen. She figured that it would be nice to cook Marcus breakfast since he is letting them stay in his home. Maria cooked grits, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, homemade butter biscuits, french toast while Amelia poured three cups of orange juice and set the table.

When Maria and Amelia close to finishing, Marcus walks into the kitchen.

"Mmmm, what is that delicious smell?" Marcus asked.

"Well, we decided to cook you breakfast since you are letting us stay here," Maria replied.

"I helped," Amelia said as she was setting the last plate. Maria knew that Natalie and Caroline will be here in a few minutes. She told Amelia to set extra, so they can join and eat breakfast with them as well. 

"Thank you, Amelia," Marcus responded as she pick her up and kiss her on the cheeks. Amelia laughs and giggle and he spins her around in circles. 

The doorbell ringed, so Amelia decided to answer it. When Maria opened the door, it was Caroline and Natalie.

"Hey, Maria." Caroline greeted Maria first.

"Hello, Mrs. Frazier," Maria said as she gave her a hug and welcomed them into Marcus's house.
