Maisieeeeeee my first comment! Thanks for the love
This is Catalina
Catalina's P.O.V
My heart hammered as we sat in the doctors office waiting for the results to my test, one of the most important tests of my life.
"Honey if you don't stop shaking I'll have to call the seismic center to find out what's the level if earthquake your causing" My husband Marc said to me moving my hair from the front of my face.
"I'm just so worried! What's taking them so long?" I complain looking at him with an irritated face. Sometimes my lack of patience can be astounding. I've only been here for 15 minutes but if you were me you would be like this as well.
We have been trying to have a baby for a few months now (almost 8 months) and we have not been successfully. So we decided to take a fertility test to see what was wrong. I want to be a mother so badly. To hold a child in my arms knowing that they're mine to keep, to love, to care for. That would be the best feeling in life.
"Honey, remember that even if we fail the test there are other options. We can have a surrogate or adopt" Marc says to me trying to prepare me for the worst case scenario. I nod not want to hear it, the only thing I wanted to hear is that we were good to go.
"Catalina Gomez!" The receptionsist called from behind her desk with a Cheshire cat smile on while watching my husband. I mean mug her before going into the doctor's office.
"Good afternoon Mr & Mrs. Gomez. Have a seat please" I took a sit on the available chair while Marc decided to stay standing.
"Well I have your test results here"He says opening a folder and scanning through the paper in it "I'm sorry but it seems like Mrs. Gomez is infertile"
At the sound of those words my head falls as tears begin to roll down my cheeks. I basically block out everything the doctor says and reflect on how dull my life is going to be now. There would be no small feet tapping down the hardwood floors of our foyer. No giggles of joy or even tears of sadness.
"Lina, Honey, Let's go" I hear Marc say and as I get up and walk out of the office I can hear the pieces of my now broken heart jingle with each step. We get into the backseat, Marc whispers something to our driver/ body guard before pulling me into his body and letting me cry into his suit.
After about 20 minutes we slow down to a stop and Marc grabs my face gently causing me to look up at him and kisses my forehead.
"Baby... I know it seems like the end of the world but I can promise you its not. You still have me and I promised you on our wedding day that I will do whatever it takes to make you happy and give you what you want and I don't plan on ever breaking that. So we are going to have children whether it be our biologically or we adopt. We are going to love them unconditionally and give them the best life possible" He said wiping the tears running down my face. I nod looking out the window to see we are at Gomez Enterprise building.
"Do you have to go to work?" I ask in a voice so hoarse I bearly recognizes it as mine.
"I wish I didn't but I do. We have that meeting with the Chinese team today. I wish I could go home with you and cuddle till we both turned into bears but I got to handle this first.
"So I guess I can head back to work then" I say moving my hair back
"No... You are not stepping into that office today or doing any work for that matter. Take a short break... Rest" He says to me gently pulling my head foreward and kissing me passionately "Bye my love"
Once Marc is in the building, we drive off on the route home as I love outside the window and I see a sign that reads Sun care foster home adoption day and for some feeling I feel drawn to go there.
"Abe.... Do you mind stopping there?I want to go in" I say looking out the window still.
"Sure Cat" He said pulling up to the building.
Rayne's P.O.V:
Skai and I were called down by Ms. Forest our care taker with the other girl to the kitchen for breakfast this morning like any other morning but today was different because it was adoption day. Adoption day was when people would come in and meet us, the 20 girls who lived here in hopes that they could bring one of us home with me. I had no hopes of being adopted because I was not going to leave without my sister and no one wanted the both of us.
"Okay girls! We all know that today is adoption day. So we need you all to go up to your room and put on the dresses we choose for you yesterday. Little one, the big girls will comb your hair once they're done." Ms. Forest said standing up from her sit and grabbing her bowl to put into the sink.
Skai and I continued to eat slowly knowing that nothing special was going to happen today. We were still eating when Maria, one of the older girls came over to us and sat down.
"Come on girls, Let's go get you ready" She said moving Skai's hair from the front of her face.
"We don't want to. We're not going to get adopted anyway" I say dropping my spoon in my bowl
"Why do you think that?" She says watching us with sad eyes
"Because no one wants the two of us. They always want just one" Skai says eating the last of her cereal.
"Well how about we get dressed then you guys can come and hang out with the big girls" She says taking our bowl to the sink as we get out of the bench.
We go up to the little girls room and Maria grabs the pink and blue dresses Ms. Foster picked out for us yesterday. Then she pulled our hair into a ponytail and we put on our white slippers. I hated wearing dresses because they were always too tight.
"You guys look pretty. Come on let's go." Maria said holding on to our hands as we headed out to the living room. We sat with the big girls while talked about different things that we didn't really understand.
"Skai! Rayne!" Ms. Forest said standing at the door of the living room "What are you guys doing there? Come on. There's someone who wants to meet you guys"
Skai and I got up and slowly made our way to the door. We didn't want to be put through this torture again. We walked into the dinning room to see a beautiful lady standing there. She had long brown hair and pretty brown eyes. She looked really nice but she was never going to take us home. She looked over at us and smiled.
"Hi! You guys look very pretty. What's your names?" She asked stooping down to our level. I can see the little girls watching us from behind us with frowns on their faces. I look over at Skai and she nods her head.
" I'm Rayne and this is Skai" I say pointing to my sister.
"Well it's really nice to meet you guys. You have lovely names" she says with a smile.
"Thanks. You're pretty" Skai says and she smiles.
"Thank you. How about you come talk to me?" She said leading us to an empty bench across the dining room. We sit down with her and she moves a strand of hair away from my eyes.
"So how old are you guys?" She asks.
"We're 5 years old." I say showing her 5 of my fingers.
We continue talking for sometime before her phone rings.
"Girls excuse me for a while" She said getting up from her seat.
She seems really nice but I don't know if she's going to adopt us.
