Jessica
Are we almost done, Aunt Jess?” Miracle’s tired whine makes my
heart melt. Her little face topped with blond curls and big, blue
eyes is exhausted. Her little hand comes up to cover her rosebud
lips as she yawns widely

“Almost, sweetie. I’ve got to pick up a few more things from the grocery
store and then we’ll head home.”
Our new home. As soon as the kids showed up at my house with some of
their things that were picked up by the attorney, I knew I was going to have
to move. The place I was in was alright for a young, unattached woman but
for a family of three? No. I needed to move as soon as possible.
Luckily, my buddy Leslie knew of an apartment opening up in the
building across from hers and the rent was very reasonable. The elderly
woman was so sweet that I took it immediately. But I did wonder if maybe a
little birdie had been gossiping a little bit and that’s why I got such a good
deal.
I’m also not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. After years in foster
care, pride was something I couldn’t afford to have.
“Let’s go, guys. I’ve got to hurry up and get this done and then we’ll head
to our new home and get the Christmas tree and decorations that I bought put
up! Won’t that be fun?”
Both of the kids just stare at me. My heart sinks down to my toes and I
take a deep breath, trying to stave off the hurt that I feel. I know I can’t blame
the kids for their response. They’re hurting. She might have been my sister
but I hadn’t seen her in years. The kids lost their mom and their dad in one
fell swoop. And then they went into foster care, a special form of hell as far
as I’m concerned. Then when they’re starting to get settled down in the home
they’re in…well, then they’re trundled halfway across the country to an aunt
that they’ve never met who sucks dealing with kids.
Yeah. It’s definitely not their fault. My inadequacies are pretty easy to
spot right now. Going from never having a family to a ready-made family
made up of grieving children that I’ve never met? Not a recipe for an easy
time.
But I pick Miracle’s slight little body up and pop her into the cart so she
doesn’t have to walk anymore. Gavin walks alongside me pretending interest
but I can see that even his sturdy body is drooping and he’s about ready to
fall asleep too.
“I’m sorry, guys. I know I should have gotten this done earlier in the day
but I had to sign the papers on the apartment and then renter’s insurance and
all the other stuff to make sure that we could move in before Christmas since
my new landlady is going on vacation to meet her family for the holidays.”
Gavin pulls his slight shoulders back and grunts. “We know. It’s alright.”
They say that but I don’t know if I believe it. “You know what? Maybe
we’ll save the tree and decorations for tomorrow. That way we can all get
some rest tonight. Moving everything in took more time than I planned as
well.”
