Chapter 40

this update would've been up two days ago but quizup is so distracting

---------------------------------------------------

Brooke's P.O.V.

Today is the day, today is when Fletcher comes home.

He did perfectly fine during his two month stay, I couldn't be happier about it.

The final tests all went perfect as well, so he is able to leave.

Michael and Ella are standing next to me as they hand Fletcher over.

Michael can't stop smiling, neither can I.

"Everything is ready, you'll be able to take him home now."

Michael smiles at me, pressing a quick kiss to my forehead.

"He's coming home." He whispers, hugging me from behind and looking down at Fletcher in my arms.

"Fletchy get to come home!" Ella giggles, hugging my leg.

"Well aren't you the cutest family." One of the nurses says.

"We-"

"We are, aren't we?" Michael chuckles.

I smile, "I guess we are."

-

"Daddy, I wanna see Fletchy!" El yells, running in Fletcher's room.

"Ella, you have to be quiet in here!" Michael quietly scolds.

"I sorry." She whispers. "I wanna see Fletchy."

She finally noticed Fletcher in my arms, and comes running over to me.

I move so she can see him better and she smiles.

"Hi Fletchy. You a cutie. I love you Fletchy." She quietly says.

I chuckle, and Ella giggles, running out of the room.

"She's such an adorable kid." I smile.

"I know, I just make like, the cutest children." He replies.

"I love her, Michael. I really do. She's the cutest thing ever."

"You love her?"

"The past few months, it's made me feel like she's my daughter. I know I shouldn't say that because she isn't mine, she's Melissa's. Melissa is her mother, and that's why I don't want her to call me her mum." I reply.

I get up and put Fletcher to bed, once I do, I turn to see Michael staring at me.

"What?" I chuckle.

"I love you." He smiles.

My heart begins to race and I don't know if I'm nervous or happy.

"You what?"

"I know you must think I'm crazy and I know you probably don't feel the same way but I-I love you." He says.

"I told you he love you!" Ella yells.

"Ella! You were in the other room!" Michael exclaims.

"Mummy! Brooke you my mummy!" She squeals, running over to me and hugs my leg.

I sigh, "El-"

"I love you." She giggles. "You said when he love you, you gonna be my mummy."

"Michael this can't be your kid she's too smart I think this is a switched at birth situation." I quickly say.
