Chapter Eleven

Ring, ring, ring. I roll over groaning. “Turn it off.”

“I don’t recognize this number; I better answer.”

The bed shifts as he sits up in bed.

“Hello?” he says in his sexy morning voice. “It is,” he tells the person on the phone.

Sitting up, I get the feeling something is wrong.

“What?” he asks, shocked. He stays quiet for a second listening. “I didn’t know I had any family left.”

My eyes widen, and I place my hand on his back. Did a family member of his die?

“Yes, I’m still here. Hang on a second.” He takes the phone away from his ear and hits speaker.

“Continue,” he tells whoever is on the phone.

“You’re the only living relative left. Her daughter has no one. She was your mom’s sister’s daughter. Arabella is your cousin. Would you be willing to take her in? It’s either you, or I will be forced to put her in foster care. She’s had a rough go at life. Her mother was hooked on drugs really bad; she died of overdose. The little girl was found in a closet,” the woman’s voice tells us sadly.

Tears rush to my eyes.

“How old is she?” I ask not being able to help myself.

“She is three years old.”

I look at Kane with my eyes full of tears.

“I’ll take her,” he tells the woman on the phone.

“No, we’ll take her.” I grab his hand tightly. Kane talks on the phone going over details and whatever else before hanging up so we can get up and get dressed. She will be here later this evening. She just lived two hours away. Grabbing my purse, we haul ass to Kane’s truck. We have nothing for a little girl.

“We need snacks, clothes, toys, blankets, furniture and necessities. Oh shit. I don’t even know!” I ground out, stressed.

Kane takes my hand and kisses the top of it. “We will figure it out.”

Sighing, I lean over and kiss him on the cheek.

Kane picks up his phone and calls Ethan. He explains everything. We will need help getting the furniture up in time.

A few minutes later we pull up in front of a furniture store. Kane comes over to my side to let me out and we walk hand in hand up to the front doors. I can’t believe this is actually happening. This poor little baby, she just lost her mother. I can only imagine the kind of hell she has seen or been through.

Kane smacking my butt brings me out of my thoughts. Rolling my eyes, I walk inside the front door that he holds open for me. Looking around the store, I realize I have no clue where to start.

Looking up to the sign that tells you where the kids section is, I head in that direction. As soon as we get to the back section I see a white bed that is fit for a little girl. It's a four-post bed with white curtains hanging from the top of the frame, and that wrap around the posts of the bed.
