Chapter 35

                                    

                                          
Lizzie's POV
                          
Alexa and Chris get into his car and head off to the mall. "They'll be fine, come on let's go I want to see your new house!" Scarlett comforts me as I feel a bit emotional that Alexa is going somewhere without me. 
                          
I didn't realise how used to her being by my side all the time I'd gotten, but I trust Chris and I know she'll be okay. 
                          
I get myself excited again as Scarlett drives us to the new house. "Wow Lizzie it's beautiful!" She says as we pull into the drive, as I get out the car all my worries disappear. "Yeah it's really perfect for us" I reply smiling. 
                          
I show Scarlett around and tell her my plans for some of the rooms before we head back into the kitchen. "So I'm going to bring the table from my apartment and obviously the bar stools so this room is pretty easy. The living room though I think I want all new furniture" I ramble off before Scarlett eventually cuts me off. 
                          
"That's great it really is! But Lizzie the party is tomorrow, don't get me wrong I love you and Alexa but I'm not standing for you know... hours" I laugh along with Scarlett realising of course she is right!
                          
"Well I can't exactly clear out my apartment while we're still living there so I'll improvise, don't worry I'll get it sorted." I say as I figure out how to make the house a bit less empty. I check a few things and write a list of what I need to bring before locking up and heading out. 
                          
Scarlett drops me off at my apartment and it's strange because I've lived here for for the last 2 years solid but now this doesn't feel like my home anymore I've completely disconnected from it, and already the new house with Alexa feels like home and I can't wait to move. 
                          
I do some light house work collecting laundry from mine and Alexa's room and setting it off, tidying the kitchen and vacuuming the living room. In reality I'm putting off calling my parents and my sisters and inviting them round to tell them my news. 
                          
I'm not ashamed or regretting my decision not one bit, however my Mom is... traditional and sets a lot of unrealistic standards that she tries to put on me. Mary-Kate and Ashley will probably be really happy for me, and dad well it could go either way. 
                          
I send a message into the family group chat with my all of my siblings, even though I know it's only the twins that are in town, and tell them I have some news and I'd like to see them all soon. I then click on the group chat with just me and the twins.

Lizzie: Hey are you two busy? I have some pretty major news I need to tell you both and Mom. I'd rather do it in person. I'll probably just call dad and tell him. 
                          
MK- We're with Mom now we can be at yours in 15?
                          
Ashley- Are you okay? You're scaring us!
                          
Lizzie: I'm great honestly, see you in 15
                          
Okay 15 minutes that gives me enough time to call my Dad.

Surprisingly, the phone call with my Father went really well, I panicked a little bit and blurted out that I've adopted a 14 year old but after explaining briefly he was over the moon to have a granddaughter and can't wait to meet her. When it came to my mother...
                          
He wished me luck. 
                          
15 minutes passed way too fast and before I knew it my sisters walked into my apartment, closely followed by my mother. "Hi darling!" She says as she hugs me.
