Hope For The Lost ~ A SBI Adoption AU

Chapter 3 ~ Talking with the Family//Adoption

"Haha I know there names are quite weird but that's what makes them unique."  Phil chuckled looking at his son's with the warmest smile I've ever seen, it almost makes me sick. 

I just look down at the floor embarrassed.

"Well Tommy, what are somethings you enjoy?" Techno asks obviously noticing my uncomfortableness.

"Uhhh I l-like Minecraft, music, and umm don't l-laugh but uhh s-stuffed animals." I explain covering my face in embarrassment.

The three look at me and I can feel my face heat up.  I hate when people stare at me, I can feel the judgement already.  Damnit, Tommy, you should have just kept your mouth shut.  I mentally slap myself.

Wil starts to laugh, Techno slaps Wil and Phil gives him a, shut up, type look which in turn Wil immediately shut up.

I pull my hands from my face now just staring at the floor.  The uncomfortable awkward silence is back, great, I think to my self. 

"Well that's cool, my boys also enjoy Minecraft, and as you know Wil loves music, maybe he can sing you one of his songs later.  Oh and there are plenty of stuffed animals at the house for you!" Phil exclaims obviously trying to ease the awkward silence.

I can't help but smile at that, I've never had someone offer me something like this, or really anyone be nice to me in general.  Though I shake the smile from my head knowing that I can't get attached.  There probably just like the others, most families don't even try to act nice but the ones that do are the worst.  You think you found a good family until you arrive home with them and they beat you down in an instant, making you feel like there pet that's only there for there personal entertainment.

I frown at the thought.  I can only hope they aren't like that because something about them makes me feel warm inside and safe, and I feel I'm already growing attached which scares me.

"Tha-"

Just as I'm about to thank him Ms. Jane busts into the room. 

"Time's up.  Please follow me, you can decide if you want It at the front desk.  Tomathy, go back to your room, now." Ms. Jane orders.

I can see Phil grit his teeth at her calling me It, though I'm used to it sadly.  Although, Phil's the first person to ever show uneasiness at that, which makes me smile.

The family follows Ms. Jane out the door as I scurry out the one on the opposite wall, making my way to my room.  I don't feel like punishment today so I hurry to get to my room and to fall asleep.

I grit my teeth at her words, It, Tommy is not an It, he is a human being and deserves the respect as one.

Ms. Jane leads us out to the front desk.  She goes back to her computer and starts typing away.

"So, I know you probably don't want that brat so let's save both me and you some time." Ms. Jane states, obviously to oblivious to see the good in Tommy.

I grit my teeth at her once again.

"Well for one, Tommy is not a brat or an It, and secondly, we do infact want Tommy.  Right boys?" I question looking back at them.

They both look up at me and nod quickly without a second thought.  I smile, glad that my boys are fine with the new addition, and are fond of Tommy.

"Well then.... Uhh I'll go get him and you can fill out the paperwork." Ms. Jane groans. 

She hands me the paperwork and starts to walk off until the boys look at me and I can already tell what they want.

"Uhh Ms. Jane, would it be fine if my boys tag along?  They want to help there new brother pack."

She looks at me with an odd and disgusted look for a few seconds until she looks away, nodding.

"Great!  Go on boys!"

My boys disappear with Ms. Jane going to get Tommy as I sit down starting to fill out the paperwork.
