An Almost Fairy Tale [Completed]

"Yes, because you are Mama."

"Well, thank you. Can you make a list of things you want in your room? I mean like posters, toys, stuff like that."

"Okay Ma-"

"OH! Also, write down what color you want your room to be. There's paper and pencils in your drawer over there," I said as Rosa and I turned to leave.

"Okay Mama. I love you guys," He said running to his drawers.

"We love you more Luke," Rosa and I said creepily simultaneously. We closed his door and stepped into the hallway.

..........

"What color do you want the room?" I shouted to Rosa who --- was showering as I was putting our clothes in drawers.

"I was thinking blue, pale grey or lavender," She shouted from the tub. We had already picked the twins' room's colors --- the whole room will be light grey and on EJ's side there's gonna be pink and red flowers and big lavender letters --- her initials "E-JAJ". Matty's side will have blue and green dots and his initials too --- "MAJ" in green. The downstairs bathroom and the upstairs bathroom are going to be pale blue. The kitchen is going to be teal and the dining room will be cool grey. Rosa and I's bathroom will be purple. Most of the house was already furnished --- a reason I chose it. In the kitchen there was already a small eating table but I like eating in the dining room for big family meals. The twins would probably eat there with Rosa during the day, while I'm at work and Luke is at school. The living room had cool neutral tones as well.

"I like the lavender."

"IT"LL MATCH THE BATHROOM!"

"This is true."

"Lyric, how many other bedrooms are in here?"

"There is one downstairs which is already painted red, and two more up here that are already painted light grey." I wanted to make sure there was another room for our new child we are going to adopt and I really want it to be a girl. Luke wanted his room to be blue and green --- sea themed with creatures at the bottom. And he wanted a bunch of books too.

The basement was going to be the family room slash my art studio. After my mom died, I took up painting as a way to express how I'm feeling and it's been helping. The bigger part will be the family room --- which we are gonna love. I really want to splatter paint the wall in my art studio. And Rosa doesn't know yet but she is gonna have a special room in the house just for her. I'm going to call it her songwriting room. That's the first room I did. I flew out here to close the deal and made the room special. It has a piano, a guitar and wood floors for her to sing and dance around. And I haven't even told you about the living room and the backyard. OH! And the attic is amazing. It's like a little study. And we have a pantry room too. This house is a dream come true.

..........

We been in New Mexico for about a month and I really like it here. I've been looking on the adoption center website for a child to adopt. I shook Rosa awake at about six a.m. I really want to get there early.

"Why are you waking me up Lyric?"

"It's adoption day!"

"It's adoption day!!!" She screamed throwing the covers off and running to the bathroom. I went to the twins' room to see if either of them were up. EJ stood in her crib trying to climb out, so I remind myself to lift the bars. Matty is already out of the crib and crawling around on the floor. I scoop him up and swing him in the air.

"What are you doing out of bed?" He began to giggle. It reminded me of Rosa --- his curly black hair was everywhere. I carried him over to their closet and peered inside. "Hmmm. What should you two wear today?" I decided for Matty to wear a blue onesie that said 'sorry guys, my mommy is taken' and black sneakers and for EJ, a light pink onesie that said 'i'm not allowed to date...ever' and purple glittery sneakers.
