Chosen just to be Rejected (by Jennifer Francis) novel Chapter 44

44 Bella She smiled at the little ones all running around all over the place , through their new home .

The orphanage was finally finished and today was moving in day .

She was walking with Whit and the other children through their new home , along with Mala and Aston .

It had been eight weeks since theyd come here , and despite Mala and Aston wanting to bleed them into some of the families , the children didnt really want that at this point .

Wanted to live with Bella still .

She didnt mind at all , liked having a house full of children , it was not something shed gotten growing up , always on her own , just her and her grandma .

This house was full of noise , chatter and laughter , and Whit had plenty of kids to play with all the time now , and five of the six were finally starting to really settle in .

They were all still in therapy twice a week , but there was progress being made and that was a good thing .

She had to admit Garretts team had done an excellent job .

The hardwood floors downstairs were all polished to a high shine and there was carpet in all the bedrooms .

Only her room was soundproof , so she could keep an ear out for the children at all times .

The place was all open planned living downstairs , and even the staircase was extra wide , catering not only for the furniture being moved upstairs , but it also allowed for many rambunctious children running up and down them .

The house had a full wraparound veranda on both floors , and she chuckled as the kids went racing around it yelling about needing scooters and skates .

I think they like it .

Aston chuckled as he watched them .

That they do .

Mala nodded .

The only child not running about was the youngest one , little Milly .

She was attached to Bellas hip and being carried .

She hadnt spoken a single word in the entire time shed been there inside the pack .

Cried a lot sometimes and rarely left Bellas side .

She often cried when Bella was going to the hospital and ended up going with Bella a good 50 % of the time .

Milly didnt want to be separated from the one shed bonded with , Bella was going to bleed the little girl to her , accept her as her own daughter at some point .

Milly still slept in Bellas bed every night , had a severe case of separation anxiety , and Cody didnt think Milly was going to bond with anyone else , though she trusted Bella .

Cody had told Bella , She sees you as her mother and thats why its so hard to be away from 1/3 +8 Point 44 you .

A part of her recalls being stolen , Id say ripped right out of her mothers arms .

Why it is so bad ! Whit was happy upstairs with the other kids , he was even sharing a room with the two other boys .

They were six and seven , and he was only eight .

He was quite protective of the six children , had kind of taken them all as his brothers and sisters .

Shed heard from his teacher , hed told other kids to step back , stated once youre scaring my sister .

Considered them his family and she knew it .

It was a bit of an adjustment for all of them , and there were days and nights that she just couldnt be there , because she needed to be in the pack hospital , to deliver babies , so Mala had sorted out another she wolf to come down and be Bellas assistant , a she wolf named Mirror , the children though it was funny because shed get down on their level and state look at me .

And the children , the boys , even Whit laughed and stated , Im a girl , and run away fake screaming .
