Damien's POV: "Do you think she'd want pink or purple?" I ask Dimitri while deep in thought. "Maybe blue?" "She was wearing a pink jacket." He offered meekly. I nodded to myself and picked out the pink comforter. "What else do we need?" I ask. He glances down at the list. "We need toys for her, bottles, wall decor, pacifiers, clothes, and books." He reads off. "Let's get the toys first." I mumbled walking down a few aisles over. "What do you think she'd like?" "She seems like she's into more of the little girl stuff so anything like that." He nods as he picks up a few toys and drops them in the cart. "Okay what size do you think she is?" I question looking at clothes. "A small, maybe a medium to be on the safe side." Dimitri says. We get the rest of the things we need and head home. It took the rest of the day to set up everything in her room but overall it seemed a success. "Let's go." Dimitri says grabbing the car keys. I nod following after him. Time to get our baby girl ---- Alice's POV: "You're going to be on your best behavior right?" Ms. Gordon says tightening her grip on my wrist. I whimper nodding. "Maybe if you're good somebody will finally adopt you." She comments offhandedly. I frown but still follow her. Ms. Gordon told me she has a meeting with two very important people today and they wanted to see me. I sit down on one of the couches drooling over the plate of cookies on the coffee table. They were my weakness. "Don't you even think about it. They're for the guests." She says sternly. I pout but nod. Knock knock She rushes to the door fixing her shirt before opening the door. I'm practically bouncing in my seat as I see who's at the door. It's Damien and Dimitri! They came back! I didn't really think they would. I grin real big at them while bouncing on the spot. Dimitri chuckled and Damien gives me a devilish smirk. "You came back!" I exclaimed brightly. "Didn't we say we would?" I wince in pain as I'm pulled back by my bruised wrist into Ms. Gordon. "Remember what I said Alice." She said in overly happy tone. I nod sitting down as she releases me. I don't miss the hard look that Damien sends her. "So we wanted to talk about adopting Alice." Damien says casually. I choke on my spit while Ms. Gordon eyes widen slightly. "Adopt? I figured you just wanted to see her. She's eighteen years old, wouldn't you prefer one of our younger girls?" "Yes we want her. From what we saw yesterday she's a very sweet girl." Dimitri praises and I have to bite my lip to contain my smile. "Right of course." She says uncomfortably. I snicker quietly under my breath. She sends me a glare to which I stick my tongue out. Her eyes widened as she sends me a stern look. She can't punish me anymore, might as well take advantage of it. "As soon as possible please." Damien requests. She scrambles out of her seat mumbling something about going to get papers. "You're really going to adopt me?!" I beam with excitement. They nod confirming the dream I've had for years. I've been in this orphanage forever and I'm finally getting out. My smile widens even more as I see the cookies laid out. She's not here so she won't know. Will one of them tell her? It's worth it. I quickly take a cookie stuffing it in my mouth just as Ms. Gordon walks into the room. I catch Dimitri's eye and he looked amused as I tried swallowing in a hurry. "Alice you want to be adopted right?" She asks but I can see it in her eyes she wants me to say no. Maybe one of the younger girls deserved to be adopted but I wanted to be adopted too. I've been here so for long. I nod still having the cookie in my mouth. "Words Alice. We talked about this." She said rubbing her temples. "Yef." It comes out muffled by the cookie. Her eyes snap up to me. "Alice, what's in your mouth?" She asks through gritted teeth knowing it was the cookie. "Nufing." "Open your mouth." "Nu." "Now!" "Nu!" She stomps over to me and I squeak running and hiding behind Damien. "Please don't let her hurt me." I whisper clutching his shirt in a death grip. "She won't" He assured turning around while bringing me into his chest. "The papers." Dimitri handed them over after they went over everything and signed. He comes over picking me up before we leave without another word. Her face was amazing to see. He opens the door and sets me in a booster seat. Why did I need this? I know I'm really short but still.. I hear their doors shut before Dimitri starts the car and drives off. "Are you okay?" I peek at them noticing all the tension. Damien sighs before giving me a smile. "We're fine but are you?" "I'm good!" I nod. "I just got adopted." I grin proudly. His lips quirk as he studies my expression. "What?" "You're pretty adorable." My mouth opens but nothing comes out. I close my mouth as my cheeks warm with heat. "Thank you." Dimitri glances at me. "Is she usually like that?" "Who? Ms. Gordon?" He nods in conformation. "Oh, yes. It's okay though, I'm used to it." He doesn't say anything longer and we're left in silence again. I play with my fingers thinking about what their lives and house will be like. "Do either of you have a wife?" I blurt out. They look back at he a bit surprised. "No we don't." Dimitri response and Damien nods in agreement. I can't help but relax slightly. "Does anybody else live with you?" I ask glancing at them in curiosity. "Wait- do you live together?" Would I only get to live with one of them? "Nope just us." Damien says. "Well and now you." Dimitri says and can't help but feel excited. "We're going to have so much fun. We can have sleepovers every night, we can braid each other's hair, Ooo we can watch Tangled. I love that movie. We can eat popcorn and gummy bears. We can even play with stuffies!" I squeal getting ahead of myself. "Inside voice, little one." Dimitri says. "We can play with stuffies." I whisper- squeal. They laugh and nod at everything I say until we reach their house. Damien opens my door and unbuckled my booster seat before helping me out. I look up and my jaw drops. It was so pretty. It was big yet cozy at the same time. It was a two story house that was surrounded with so much nature. There were flowers everywhere making it look even more beautiful then it already was. "It's so pretty." I tell them. "Glad you like it." They walk me to the door before we walk inside. The inside is even better than the outside. It's got this homey feeling to it. I couldn't wait to explore. "Your house is so amazing." I tell them while looking around. "Our house." Dimitri corrects. I smile up at him and nod. "Do you want to see your room." He asks and I gasp excitedly. "I get my own room?" They nod gesturing me to follow them. I've never had me own room before. I do and they lead me down many hallways until we reach one that has a pink door. They go up to it and dramatically open it. I stare starstruck looking around in awe. It was perfect. "I love it!" I squeal hugging them. They laugh wrapping their arms around me. "But why is there a crib?" I ask. "That's what we wanted to talk to you about. We have to go over some rules." Damien says. I nod as we sit down on my bed. "Do you know what d**g is?" .
