Welcome Home Saoirse!

With the morning sun peeking through the blinds, Saoirse slowly woke up, Rubbing her eyes before taking a moment to wake up.

Quickly realising that today was a special day, She was going to her forever home which meant leaving the orphanage at long last.

Leaping from the bed, Saoirse put on her coat, Fixing her sleeves and brushed her hair straight, Smiling at it before it bounced back into its normal style, Making her laugh.

She soon made her way down the hall, Tip-Toeing to make sure she didn't wake any of the others up before she made her way down the stairs, Jumping one step at a time before making her way to the kitchen.

She waved to Miss Cherrywood before opening one of the cupboards and began setting up plates and bowls, Delicately placing the spoons and forks beside each one as Miss Cherrywood smiled at her.

She was going to miss having Saoirse around but she was glad that her new family were bringing her home.

Finding her as a baby flashed through her mind, All alone on a cold December night, Crying for someone to find her.

Shaking her head at the memory, Miss Cherrywood grabbed a bowl and a few ingredients before motioning for Saoirse to come over and help her.

Saoirse pulled over a stool before rolling up her sleeves and started to help Miss Cherrywood with making pancakes, Sneaking a lick of the batter.

Laughing as she helped flipped the pancakes into the air, Saoirse and Miss Cherrywood sat down next to each other, Helping decorating each others pancake with Miss Cherrywood giving Saoirse strawberry sauce on hers.

The two of them ate in comfortable silence before Saoirse helped with the dishes as the phone on the office went off, Causing Miss Cherrywood to rush towards it.

Humming a small melody, Saoirse placed the dishes in the dish rack, Stepping off the stool and stepped out of the kitchen, Hearing Miss cherrywood laugh and set down the phone.

Miss Cherrywood: "Saoirse..., Go get ready sweetie, Fenton and Officer Cabrera are on their way"

The girl scrambled to get everything ready before she left the orphanage forever, Giving Miss Cherrywood a big hug before making her way to her room and prepared a checklist for herself.

Saoirse checked her inventions, Making sure they were turned off and sealed the box with colourful tape as she then packed away her first aid kit, Pens, Her books, Her tools and finally her homemade tablet and pushed it next to her suitcase.

Saoirse opened up her suitcase, Placing her sketchpad in it before looking around to see if anything else needed to be packed away, Gasping as she soon went into her wardrobe, Opening up her secret compartment before pulling a box up.

Making sure the door was closed, Saoirse opened up her box and sighed in relief that her most prized possession was still there.

She was about to take it out to check for any dust but the door knocking suddenly made her quickly close the box and sat on the bed, Clutching the box tightly, Relaxing when it was only Miss Cherrywood.

Saoirse felt sad about leaving the only home she has known nearly her entire life, The girl sighing and tried to not let her emotions be heard by the other children to be teased.
