Khloe
When my parents passed away they left all of their children a percentage of their estate. To fully understand that statement you have to know that my parents were the most well-known people in our town. My dad was the mayor of our small town, Greene Springs; his passing was a great loss for the town. I was never the type of person to boast about all my family had so at the reading of the will I was happy to find out that my parents left me the cottage in Sunset Valley. My parents knew that since the kidnapping I had wanted to get away, so they left me plenty of money to move out to the cottage, fix it up to be fit to live in, and live comfortably until I found a job or felt like working again.
When I arrived at the cottage I was shocked that it didn’t look as I had remembered it. It wasn’t terrible, it was actually a lot better than I had expected but it still needed a lot of work. I work on it every day getting it ready for Megan to move in. I hired many people from all over Sunset Valley to help me finish it, and a week before Megan was to arrive it was finished. I had done it, remodeled a house in just 3 weeks, I was very proud of myself.
It was the day Megan was supposed to arrive at the house and I was in the kitchen cooking lunch when I heard the doorbell ring. I ran to the kitchen window.
It was her! She was finally here and there was some guy with her. I wonder who he is? It don’t matter really my baby girl is finally home! I ran out the door and gave her a big huge.
“I’m so glad you’re finally home!”
“Me too. I love what you have done with the house.”
“Thanks Meg, who’s your friend?”
“I’m Clayton Faris. I have been taking care of Megan for the past 2 years.”
“It really good to meet you Mr. Faris, thank you for taking care of Megan for me while to adoption was being finalized.”
He blew up.
“She should be MY daughter. I love her and I have taken care of her for 2 years and what do I get, huh? NOTHING! I have to drive her here and give her to you. Why because the government says you get to adopt her without even asking if I wanted her.”
I don’t know what to say but I started talking, “I’m…I’m sorry. I can pay you for your time and taking care of her--”
He interrupted me, “That’s not what I want. I don’t need the money that’s not what this is about. I have taken care of Megan since she was 6 years old. I saw her go to her very first day of school. I love Megan, she is my daughter and I don’t need some paper to tell me that.”
“Well how about this. Megan lives with me and you can come visit her whenever you want.”
A smile came across his face.
“Khloe…Mom, why can’t Dad come live with us?” Dad? Did she just call him dad? She continued, “He could have my room for now and I could sleep with you in your room or on the couch.” He looked over at me. I wasn’t sure what to say. I could see it on her face that she really wanted this. She really… needed this; she needs a loving mother and father. I can give her the mother but father? I hadn’t even thought about that.
I looked over at Clayton, “What do you think?”
“Megan you know that I would love for you to be able to live with you, but Khloe is your mom now and I can’t just move into her house.”
“Ok.” Megan said in a quiet, hurt, understanding voice. I knew I had to do something I had to make this right for her.
“How about this, Clayton can stay with us for a week, that way he can have a little vacation and doesn’t have to drive all the way back home today.”
“What do you think about that Dad? Can you get off work?” Megan said looking at Clayton hopefully.
“That sounds okay to me.” A big grin was on his face. I knew this was going to be hard for me but I also knew this was what Megan needed.
We sent Megan upstairs to checkout her new room.
“I’m not really sure how well this is going to work but I am willing to try for Megan.”
“Yeah, I’m not too sure about this either, she needs two parents but I don’t want to just barge in on you and your home.”
“How about this, we will try this for a week, if it works we can see about you moving in so we can raise Megan together.”
Megan
My new room is amazing. Khloe really went all out on it. She got me tons of toys. My favorite is the dollhouse. I have always wanted a dollhouse. Dad…Clayton got me a little plastic on and I loved it but it wasn’t anything like this one. This one was wonderful.
I’ve never had a bed of my own before, the comforter and sheet Khloe got for me had my favorite shade of blue as the main color. It means so much to me that she did all this for me. For the first time in my life I finally have a mother that cares about me and actually wants me. Maybe in a few months I will have a mother and father that care about me and want me. I hope that Khloe and Clayton could get married. They are perfect for each other in every way and I love them both.
I was actually happy and not scared for the first time in my life.
Khloe
I could hear Megan playing upstairs in her room. I knew she was happy.
Clayton Faris. He was tall, dark, and handsome, every girls dream guy and he was staying in my house, mine and Megan’s house. I don’t know how all of this will work out, Clayton staying here and all but I’m hoping well, I can see myself with him, I can see us raising Megan along with a few other children.
I was checking my e-mail when I realized I had an e-mail from the hospital. I got the job! Life couldn’t get any better than this.
Clayton
Megan told me she was pretty but I hadn’t imagined her looking like this. She was the girl of my dreams, she loved children just as much as I did and she was willing to do anything for Megan so she could be happy just like I was. I can see myself with Khloe Vincent for the rest of my life. I can see our family with Megan as our oldest child.
One Week Later
Clayton
It’s been a week, Khloe and Megan both informed me that they didn’t want me to leave last night over dinner. So here I sit playing video games while Khloe is at work and Megan is at school. I’m really starting to like Khloe but I don’t think she feels the same way. I think she is just allowing me to stay because she thinks it is better for Megan but I’m not sure. I was contemplating talking to her about it.
One Week Later
Clayton
The days are long and boring. I either: play chess, watch TV, or play on the computer. I still haven’t talked to Khloe about us but I did tell whenever she wanted me to leave I would. She hasn’t asked me to leave and Megan seems to be really happy about that.
Finally Friday morning on my way to the shower just as she was coming down the stairs, I got the nerve to tell her how I felt, “Khloe, I’m not sure what you think about all this, me staying here and all but I’m starting to like you, not only as a friend but someone I could see myself being with. The look on her face wasn’t promising. She looked like she was hurting and I immediately knew I shouldn’t have said that to her.
Then a smile came over her face, “I was wondering when you were going to say that. I have wanted to talk to you about that for a while. I think we should go out to dinner or something. I can see us being together, I like you too.”
I was relieved. She liked me too, maybe my dream of being with her and raising Megan wasn’t so crazy after all.
All at once she grabbed me and started hugging me. I was feeling so many emotions at that moment. I didn’t know what to say.
We spent the next few hours talking and flirting. Was I actually going to get the girl of my dreams?
Khloe
He liked me! He really liked me! All I could think about was him as I was cooking breakfast. I had the day off so I was going to spend it relaxing around the house and talking to him. I couldn’t wait until I got to tell Megan. She was going to be so happy. She might actually get her wish, a mother and father, Khloe and Clayton.
“Khloe, I was wondering if it would be ok if I did this.”
He kissed me. I was speechless. He was perfect in every way and he was mine.
“How did you like that?” Clayton whispered in my ear.
“It was perfect,” I said smiling back.
“I know that we are moving a little fast but I thought maybe we could be you know, boyfriend and girlfriend?”
I kissed him, I thought that would be yes enough for him, but I said it anyway, “Yes, of course. I can’t wait to tell Megan!”
Just then Megan walked in the door, “I think I am going to be scarred for life, what exactly is going on here?” Clayton and I both laughed.
“Will tell you while you do your homework,” I said.
“Me and Clayton are dating.”
“So this means that you guys are going to get married and me my mom and dad?”
“Well we are not sure yet if we will get married we will just have to wait and see,” Clayton explained.
“But there is hope right?” Megan asked.
“Right,” I said smiling.
“Khloe, can we all go out to dinner? You know to celebrate,” Megan asked.
“Sure thing.”
We all got dressed to go out and headed down to the Bistro. I don’t think my life could get any better than this.
Megan
I was actually here. This is actually my life. I have a mother and father that care about me and they might be married soon. I hope that they can love each other like I love them and they love me. I really want us to be a family. I think today has to be that happiest day of my life.
When we got home Khloe sent me straight up to bed. I didn’t complain because I was exhausted and I had school the next morning. I feel asleep dreaming about the future, a future that made me smile, a future where I can be happy, and a future with a mom, dad, brothers, and sisters.
Khloe
“Tonight was amazing,” Clayton said looking into my eyes.
“Yeah it was, Megan was really happy.”
“What about you, were you happy?”
“Yeah, but a kiss would make me happier.”
He kissed me and I kissed him. I was happy, happy for me, happy for Clayton, but most of all happy for Megan. She was going to get her family, that fact made my race. I was going to get my family, a family with Clayton and Megan.
“How was that?” Clayton said laughing.
I smiled, “Wonderful.”
That night was the first night of the rest of my life, a happy life with Clayton, Megan, and hopefully the many children we are bound to have.
