Fleur paced around her room back in France, the Doves were back there for a few weeks. She had managed to steal a pregnancy test from a store after feeling some symptoms. She was waiting on Pierre to get back.

"Cosette." Pierre called to her.

Fleur opened the door and walked out,"Pierre."

"Terry said you wanted to see me."

"Yeah.. I- We need to talk." Fleur nodded, holding her arm.

"What is it?" Pierre raised a brow

"It's in the bathroom." Fleur admitted.

Pierre nodded slowly before he walked past her and into the bathroom. When Pierre walked in, on the bathroom sink.. Was a positive pregnancy test.

"Cosette.. What is this?" He picked it up.

"Test de grossesse." Fleur admitted.

"I can see that- What are you planning on doing about it?" Pierre walked out to her.

"Me?" Fleur blinked.

"You." Pierre grabbed her wrist,"I'm not dealing with this."

"You.. You don't want them?" Fleur looked at him.

"Why would I want them?" He asked.

"They're your child.' Fleur shook his head,"You- Pierre."

"I don't care." Pierre kissed her head.

"I don't- I can't do it." Fleur told him.

"Well, you better."

"..Or?"

"I'll find a new play thing that listens to instructions." Pierre shrugged.

"What do you want me to do?" Fleur swallowed.

"Well, I can get you pills or alcohol." He told her.

Fleur nodded slowly, looking down.

"Good girl." Pierre smirked.

"Can I.. See Wayne?"

"Sure, you go do that."

Fleur nodded again and walked out of her room, going straight to Wayne's.

"Flo, what's up?" Wayne looked up from his bed.

Fleur closed his door, stopping for a second before she broke down in tears.

"..What did he do?" Wayne stood up, walking over to Fleur.

"I'm pregnant." Fleur whispered,"He wants me to get rid of it- But I can't."

"You're pregnant..?"

"I took a test." She shook her head.

Wayne nodded slowly,"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know."

"We'll figure this out, okay? Together." Wayne told her.

"You promise?"

"I promise."

"Okay." She sighed.

*********************************

"Flo." Wayne hummed as he walked into the room,"You two alright?"

"Been better." Fleur sighed, holding baby Adelaide in her arms.

"She's cute." Wayne smiled softly.

"She's so small..I don't know what to do with her. I feel like I'll break her."

"Hey, I'm sure you'll do great." He assured her.

"You're an uncle." She nodded.

"I am." Wayne hummed,"Uncle Wayne."

"Have you heard anything? About what they're planning?"

"Not yet, but I've been trying."

"I..I can't let Addy grow up here."

"We'll get her out.. That's a promise."

Fleur nodded slowly,"Pierre will be back soon."

"I know.. But I'll keep you safe, both of you." Wayne told her.

"When we get out we'll stay in contact."

"Obviously, you couldn't live without me."

Fleur chuckled,"Love you Wayne."

"Love you too, Fleur." He smiled.

*********************************

"She's your child too." Fleur pointed towards Pierre.

"I don't care for her, we've been over this." Pierre shook his head,"You should've listened to me and got rid of her when you had the chance."

"I tried." Fleur scoffed,"But she's here and I'm not going to ignore her because she's my daughter and I love her."

Pierre held her cheek,"Cosette, you're too soft for this world."

"Get off." Fleur pushed him off.

"Come on, you know you aren't ready to be a mother."

"Where would she go?"

"Anywhere."

"With a good family?"

"I can't guarantee anything, sugar." Pierre shrugged.

Fleur looked at him,"Then no." She shook her head and picked up Adelaide.

"Cosette, you can't just say no to me."

"Do you wanna hear it in French?" Fleur hummed,"Non."

"Fine, keep her. See if I care." Pierre rolled his eyes,"But not one person in here is gonna help you."

"I hate you." Fleur scoffed.

"You love me." Pierre hummed.

"No, I don't." Fleur soothed Addy.

"You do."

Fleur kissed Adelaide's head,"I'm never going to let her know about you."

"She'll find out sooner of later, Cosette." Pierre shrugged.

Fleur shook her head and walked off.

*********************************

"Fleur? There's someone here to see you." The woman at the orphanage told her.

"Me?" Fleur looked up.

"Yes, you."

"Tell them I'm not interested." Fleur sighed.

All the times before had been failed adoptions. She didn't want more.

"Please Fleur, just try for me, okay?" She sighed.

Fleur hesitated before she got up. Waiting for her in the usual room were two women. One looking eager yet nervous while the other felt more.. Intimidating?

Fleur slowly walked into the room, looking at them,"What?"

"Hello there, my name's Ruth." She smiled at her,"This is my partner, Gail."

"Mhm." Fleur nodded.

"We're interested in adopting you."

"There's no point." Fleur shook her head.

"Why's that?" Gail asked.

"Les gens me rendent toujours." Fleur shrugged.

"We won't."

"You speak French?"

"It comes in handy." Gail shrugged.

"There's plenty of other kids, younger ones. You should take them." Fleur nodded.

"But we want to give you a chance, one that it seems you didn't have." Ruth told her.

"I.. You're married?"

"Well, we like to think so." Ruth took Gail's hand.

"But it's not allowed." She looked around.

"No.. Not in America."

Fleur sighed,"You two seem amazing but- I can't come."

"Why not?" Gail questioned.

"I..I come as a package."

"Do you have a younger sibling? If so, we can take them too. We have the space." Ruth offered.

"No, no. Not a younger sibling."

"What is it then?"

"I have a daughter." She admitted.

"And you've been stuck here?" Ruth blinked.

"No one wants a young mother."

"We do."

Fleur looked at them,"Are.. You sure?"

"I don't think I've ever been this aure, Fleur." Ruth nodded.

"I'll go tell my worker." Fleur smiled.

"We'll be waiting for you."

Fleur left the room, telling the worker before running to her room.

"Addy." She hummed,"Mama and you are going on an adventure."

"I like adventures." Adelaide smiled.

"Yeah? We're going with some nice women."

"Otay." She nodded.

Fleur smiled and kissed her head,"Help Mama pack your clothes."

"I will."

"Good girl." She hummed.

*********************************

"When are your friends coming over, hun?" Ruth asked as she walked out of the kitchen.

"Soon, I hope. I messaged them on MySpace." Fleur nodded.

"Well, just let me know when they're here."

"Where's mom?" Fleur tilted her head.

"She's just popped out, she'll be back soon." Ruth told her.

"Great." Fleur nodded.

"Mama." Adelaide walked in,"I drew you a picture."

Fleur gasped and knelt down,"For me?"

"Mhm, all for you." Adelaide held it out to her.

"C'est beau." Fleur smiled,"Well done."

"Merci." Addy hummed.

"There you go, Mama, she's doing great."

"I'm so proud of her." Ruth grinned.

"Can we place it on the fridge?"

"Of course we can." Ruth walked over.

"Here." Fleur handed it to her.

"Thank you." Ruth took the picture and held her hand out,"Come on, honey. Come hang it up with granny."

"Right there." Adelaide pointed as she took Ruth's hand.

"Yes, we'll put it right there." She chuckled as the doorbell rang.

"Oh- That'll be them." Fleur ran to the door.

"Fleur." Sheila smiled as the door opened.

"Sheila, hey." Fleur hummed.

"It's great to see you." She nodded as Anna and Mary walked over.

"Yeah, same." She smiled.

"Well, can we come in?"

"Of course- Right." Fleur opened the door fully.

Sheila smiled as her and the others walked in.

"So this is my place."

"It's quaint." Mary nodded.

"It's how my moms like it." Fleur nodded.

"I always forget you've got two moms." Anna shook her head.

"Yeah, it's pretty cool." Fleur hummed.

"Are they both home?" Sheila asked.

"No, just Mama." Fleur nodded.

"Which one's that?"

"The baker." She chuckled.

"Ooh, that's great." Mary hummed.

"Come on, I'll take you to my room." Fleur walked towards the room.

"Sounds like a plan."

"What are we thinking about doing?" Fleur hummed.

"Anything." Mary shrugged,"Woah."

"Woah?" Fleur blinked.

"Wasn't expecting all this.. Kids stuff." Mary picked up a barbie.

"Oh, it's not mine." Fleur chuckled,"Not that there's anything wrong with Barbies. I love them."

"Whose is it? Little sister?" Anna asked.

"Addy?" Fleur called on her.

"Yeah?" Adelaide wandered in.

"This.. Is Adelaide." Fleur picked her up,"She's my daughter."

"Daughter..?" Sheila blinked.

"Mhm." Fleur hummed,"Can't see the similarities?"

"I mean.. Now that you mention it." Mary nodded slowly.

"She's cute." Anna shrugged,"You're only eighteen though."

"How old.. Is she?" Sheila raised a brow.

"Tell them." Fleur whispered.

Adelaide hummed and held up four fingers.

"Four? Wow." Mary smiled.

"Go be with Mama, okay cherié?" Fleur placed her down.

"Okay mama." Adelaide hugged her leg before running off.

"She's cute." Sheila crossed her arms as she sat down on the bed.

"She really is." Mary nodded.

"What about the dad? Is he from France?" Sheila questioned.

Fleur stopped for a second before turning,"No, no."

"So.. Is he from here?" Anna raised a brow.

"I never really knew where he was from, he moved around a lot."

"I see." Sheila nodded slowly.

"Anyway, enough about me." Fleur shook her head,"Let's watch the movie, hm?"

"Yeah, lets." Anna agreed.

*********************************

After a few weeks, Fleur was walking down the hallway of the college. Lately she had felt that ahe was being.. Whispered about.

"Hey gorgeous." Randy winked at her as he walked up beside her.

"Randy." Fleur nodded,"What is it?"

"How about you and me head out after class, just us."

"Definitely not." Fleur chuckled.

"Come on, aren't you down for anything at all?" He raised a brow.

"No." Fleur shook her head,"I'm totally saving myself for marriage."

Randy scoffed,"Yeah, right."

"Sorry?"

"That's not what Sheila's been going around saying."

"What do you mean?" Fleur turned to him.

"Y'know, you're a little slut, sleeping around." Randy shrugged.

Fleur blinked, scoffing slightly,"You're sure Sheila said this?"

"Definitely." He nodded.

"Well don't fucking believe it." Fleur pointed before walking off.

"Whatever you say." Randy hummed.

"Mary? Where's Sheila?" Fleur ran up to her.

"Uh, she went that way with Anna, why?" Mary tilted her head.

"I'm just going to have a talk with her." Fleur smiled innocently before looking for them.

"Just talk?"

"Just talk."

"Oh- Alright."

"Stay here Mary, okay?"

"Okay.. Will you be okay?" She asked.

"Of course." Fleur nodded.

"Right."

Fleur walked off, going the direction Mary had pointed her towards. There she saw them, Sheila and Anna, giggling to themselves.

"Sheila?" Fleur walked up to her.

"Hm?" Sheila turned,"Oh, hey Fleur."

"Hey." Fleur smiled before grabbing Sheila's hair and yanking her down.

"Hey- What the hell?"

"Sorry? I can't hear you." Fleur slapped her.

"Bitch." Sheila muttered before she slapped back.

"You're going around saying I'm a slut?!" Fleur scoffed.

"Well, clearly you are! You've got a kid at eighteen." Sheila pointed.

"So what? How about I go tell Greg how much of a slut you are after cheating on him, hm?" Fleur looked at her,"If you ever say shit about me or my daughter again? Sheila.. You won't live another fucking day."

"You don't have the guts." Sheila shook her head.

"Want a bet?" Fleur punched her nose,"That was a warning, Sheila. Don't try it."

Sheila held her nose, stumbling back against the wall,"You're going to regret this, Howards."

"I bet I will." Fleur shrugged,"Bye Sheils."

She hummed and walked off, quickly going to the bathroom and called her Mom.

"What's up, kid?" Gail answered.

"I-I might have just punched Sheila."

"What did she do?"

"She's.. She's going round saying I'm a slut for having Addy." Fleur muttered.

"..I'm gonna kill her." Gail shook her head,"Do you want me to come get you?"

"Please?" Fleur sighed.

"I'll be there as soon as I can, okay?"

"Thanks mom." Fleur nodded.

"No problem, sweetie." Gail sighed,"I love you."

"Love you." Fleur hung up.

*********************************

"It's nice that we're actually getting to spend some time together, y'know?" Morgan hummed.

"Tell me about it. With everything going on with Gideon." Fleur sighed.

"I hope he's already." Morgan shook his head.

"Are you sure you want to come back to mine?"

"Of course, I haven't been before."

"It's nothing fancy." Fleur hummed.

"Still." Morgan shrugged.

"And viola." Fleur nodded towards the apartment.

"Very nice." Morgan smiled as they walked to the door.

Fleur walked into her apartment, holding the door open to him

Morgan looked around,"Hey, you've got a nice place."

"I do try." She hummed.

"I can tell." He kissed her cheek.

"So..What do you wanna do?"

"I don't mind, as long as I get to spend time with you."

Fleur hummed and say down on the couch. Morgan sat down beside Fleur, wrapping his arm around her.

"So..Want to watch a movie?"

"Sure thing."

"What one?" She looked at him.

"You can pick." He shrugged.

"Hm..Let's see what's on." Fleur grabbed the remote as the doorbell rang.

"Oh, I can get that." Morgan stood up.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, you find a film."

Fleur hummed and turned around. Morgan smiled at her before he walked to the door and opened it.

"Sweetheart- Who are you?" Ruth stopped.

"Uh, Derek Morgan, Ma'am." Не nodded.

"Where's my daughter?" Gail blinked.

"Your- Uh, Flo." Morgan turned,"It's your mom."

"What?" Fleur got up,"Mama? Mom?"

"It's me." Gail nodded to her,"Now who is this?"

"This is.. My friend. I work with him." Fleur smiled.

"Your friend.. Hm?" Gail raised a brow.

"Mhm." Fleur nodded,"Right Derek?"

"Right." Morgan agreed.

"What are you doing here?" Fleur asked.

"I came to drop off Addy." Gail answered.

"I thought she wasn't coming for another week?"

"We thought we'd give you a suprise." Ruth hummed.

"Hi Mama." Adelaide smiled.

"Hi sweetheart." Fleur hugged her,"Thanks for bringing her."

"It's not a problem." Gail assured her.

"We best be off, hm?" Ruth looked.

"We should." Gail nodded,"Call us if you need anything."

"I will." Fleur sighed as she closed the door,"..Addy, can you go sit down? I'll make dinner."

"Okay." Adelaide hummed, walking to the couch.

"Can we talk, Derek?" Fleur looked at him.

"Of course." Morgan nodded slowly.

Fleur walked into the kitchen, turning the oven on before turning to him,"I..I have to explain."

"Why didn't you tell me you had a kid?" Morgan asked.

"She stays with my moms while I work but she's- She's getting older now. I can't hide her from everyone." Fleur sighed,"Before my moms adopted me.. I had Addy from a horrible guy."

"I'm sorry to hear that." Morgan shook his head, taking her hand.

"I understand if you want to go-"

"No.. I'm staying."

Fleur looked up at him.

"Fleur, I love you. I always will, no matter what happened to you in the past." Morgan told her.

Fleur smiled softly,"Well, you might as well meet her."

"I'd love to." Morgan smiled back.

"Adelaide." Fleur called for her.

"Yeah?" Adelaide wandered in.

"I want you to meet my friend, Derek." Fleur hummed.

"Hi Derek." Adelaide waved at him.

"Hey there, kiddo." Morgan chuckled,"What age are you?"

"I'm ten." She held up ten fingers.

"That's a big age." He nodded.

"Mhm, I'm a big girl."

"You have to stop growing." Fleur hummed.

"Never." Adelaide crossed her arms,"I'm gonna be tall."

"As long as you're not taller than me." Derek chuckled.

"Watch me." She pointed.

"I will." Derek nodded.

"You better." Adelaide hummed.

"I'll be waiting."

"Good."

"What do you want for dinner?" Fleur opened the fridge.

"Pizza." Adelaide nodded.

"Now, pizza I can do." Fleur hummed.

"Pizza sounds great." Morgan agreed.

"With lots of cheese." Adelaide pointed.

"I like the way you think, kid." Morgan chuckled.
