Finding Him

"You Remind Me Of My Mom"

Mariah's P.O.V.
She deserves to know about me and my life. I mean, she adopted me without even knowing me. This is the least that I can do.

"I would love to talk." I replied. She smiled and sparked a little conversation.

"What would you like to talk about?" She asked me.

"Well, I can tell you about myself. I suspect that that's what you have been thinking about?" I asked. She just looked at me.

"Y'know Mariah, before Sawyer asked me and Carl to adopt you, he told me how he met you. I was so touched on how kind and generous you were to him in his time of need. Thank you for that. I never ever want to see any of my baby's go through that, and that includes you and your baby brother." She said to me. I had tears in my eyes.

"I'm family to you?" I asked her.

"Of course you are sweetie. You and your brother are a huge part of this family. You really technically always have been." She replied. I didn't know what she meant by that.

"What do you mean by always have been?" I asked her.

"Well me and Carl were friends with your parents way before she ever got pregnant with you...
