"Where to first?" I asked.

"Can we go to Rue21?" She asked.

"Of course love, let's go." I said and we walked to Rue21.

We decide we were gonna go eat lunch at the food court.

We were done eating so we went to H&M.

AJs POV

We were walking into H&M and I heard someone laughing, I could recognize that laugh anywhere, it was my dad.

"Christina? Can you carry me?" I asked.

"Sure, baby." She said picking me up and we walked past my mom and dad, there was a little girl about 5 with them.

They started walking after us. Christina turned around.

"Do you mind sir?"She asked.

"Um what are you doing with my daughter?" He asked.

"Your daughter? You left her! You left her because she was sick and you couldn't help her! awful! Here AJ, take my keys and go in my car and lock the doors." She said and i did what she asked.

Christinas POV

I need to protect my baby girl, she's like my own.

"Your awful! Your daughter almost died and where were you? Hmm? No where! I was with her! I will get security!" I yelled.

"Ma'am? What the problem?" The lady asked.

"I'm being harassed!" I said.

"Sir, back away from the lady!" The lady said calling security.

Security showed up and took AJs dad.

"Mommy? Where's my daddy going?" The 5 year old asked her mom.

"Daddy's going away Lilac, he's done wrong." The lady said to her daughter.

"Oh let me introduce myself, I'm Geena, im AJs mom, this is my daughter Lilac, she's 5." She said shaking my hand.

"Hi I'm Christina, Christina Cimorelli, we adopted AJ last week, she's currently living with me because my little sister and AJ had a mishap. So I've technicallybeen raising her." I said.

"Well I know AJ is in the car, would you like to meet up for dinner tonight?" She asked.

"Sure, that would be nice, thank you." I said.

***

I just got back in the car and AJ was scared to heaven and back.

"What's the matter baby?" I asked.

"He didn't hurt you did he?" She asked.

"No hun, I'm okay, your mother and I are going out for dinner tonight, she told me to bring the family." I said.

"Okay." She smiled and fell asleep.

*** 4:00 pm

We are all going out to the Italian restaurant down the street to meet up with AJs biological mother and sister.

"Party for 16 please." I said.

"Reali?" She asked.

"Yes." I said and we all walked to the table and sat down.

On one side it was AJ on the end, the me, Nick,Mike, Mom, Dad, Lisa, Katherine, Amy, then on the other side it's Geena, Lilac, Christian Nick, Alex, Joey, Dani and Lauren. Dani was at the way end because we can't have her near AJ.

"Geena is like you to meet my family, this is my husband Nick, my brother Mike, my mom Lynne, my dad Mike, my sisters Lisa, Katherine and Amy, then next to Lilac is my brothers Christian, Nick, Alex, Joey, and my 2 younger sister Lauren and Dani. AJ is the youngest out of 12." I said.

"Wow, that's great, well I'm Geena and this is my daughter Lilac." Geena said.

"Very nice to meet you, Geena and Lilac, Lilac how old are you?" Mom asked.

"I'm 5." She said and I looked at mom.

"I don't want to get angry today, but after AJ why did you decide to give her up and then have another kid 6 years later?" Mom asked with a slight bit of anger.

"We couldn't afford to pay her bills for surgery, I was mental unstable and I couldn't take care of her, but now that were back on our feet maybe she could give us a chance?" She asked.

"Well that would be up to her, if not will leave it at that, she's very close with Christina so she must be able to text her whenever." Dad said.

"That'll be great thank you." She said.

AJs POV

Mike and Lynne were talking to my mom about spending time with my mom and sister, I didn't really want to but I guess it was okay. I looked up to find Dani smirking.

"Fat fat fat pig is going back. Heh" She mumbled.

Maybe she was right, I was fat maybe I didn't belong in this family, I excused myself an ran to the bathroom.
