Epilogue
10 years later
“Haley, these people know every trick you’ve got. They were orphans themselves when they were kids, don’t you try to pull a fast one on them,” A man with graying hair spoke to a young girl about 14 years old.
“Sure they do, Greg,” Haley rolled her eyes.
Greg sighed and knocked on the door. “Hello Greg. Hi Haley,” Jay smiled down at the brunette girl.
“Haley, this is Mrs. Messinger.”
“Jay, please. And my husband is Jack. Come in, come in. Greg, thank you. Does she have her bags?”
“I only have this one,” Haley spoke up.
“Then get inside. Bye now, Greg,” Jay closed the door. “James! Come down here!”
“Yeah, Mom?” A boy of about 16 years of age bounded down the stairs.
“This is Haley. Haley, my son James. Could you take her up to her room, James?”
“Sure, Ma. Come on, Haley,”
“Dinner’s in an hour, guys. Jack will be home from the club by then.”
“The club?” Haley asked.
“Yeah. Dad plays in a band in the club Dantes. He bartends a lot now though,” James explained as he led his new foster sister upstairs.
Half an hour later Jack came home. “Hello, love. Haley got here half an hour ago,” Jay informed Jack, hugging him.
“Where is she?”
“Upstairs with James.”
“Are they getting along then?”
“I haven’t heard any noise otherwise,” Jay answered.
“I’m going to go check,” Jack left the room and walked upstairs to check on the two teenagers.
“Who are you?” Haley backed away from the door when Jack walked in.
“This is my dad, Jack,” James introduced him.
“Hi Jack,” Haley spoke softly.
Jack looked to James and tilted his head. “Anyway, I was just checking to make sure the room is comfortable for you, Haley.”
“It is, thank you,” Haley didn’t look at Jack.
“Right. Dinner’s in 20 minutes, guys,” Jack turned and left the room.
Two weeks later, Haley was slightly more comfortable around Jack, though she was still nervously polite to him The first time Bobby and Angel had come over, she’d run up into her room and locked herself in, scared.
“That bad, is she?” Bobby asked.
“With every guy except James it seems,” Jay sighed. “I’m gonna go tell her now,” She stood and followed Haley upstairs.
“Hi, Jay,” Haley greeted her when she walked into her bedroom. “Sorry I ran out like that it’s just….”
“Oh I know. Angel and Bobby made me nervous when I first met them too. Granted I had a different past than you but still,…”
“So you weren’t rapped by foster fathers?” She demanded bitterly.
“No, actually. But I didn’t speak for four years and my foster families tried everything they could to make me talk. One foster father, the one before I came here, he was the worst. He’d beaten me with a hot fire poker and the next night threw me into the fire. He’s why I can’t have children,” Jayden confessed. She hadn’t told James that about her past and wondered why she was telling Haley. “Anyway, point is, is that Bobby and Angel scared me when I first met them, but they helped my sisters save my life a couple days later.”
“That’s why you came up here?” Haley looked ready to yell.
“No, not really; side benefit, I guess. The reason I came up here was because I had a very serious question to ask. How do you think Haley Mercer or Haley Messinger sounds? We could always hyphen it if you would prefer.”
“Wh…what?”
“Jack and I are adopting you, Haley. For the adoption papers we need….” Jay was cut off as Haley flung herself into her arms.
“You’re really adopting me? Seriously?” She pulled back and looked at the older woman.
“Very seriously. Now answer the question,” Jay smiled.
“Um, I think I like Haley Mercer better. I’m gonna go downstairs, okay?”
“Of course.”
Haley stopped in her bedroom doorway. “Does this mean I can call you mom now like James does?”
“Absolutely,” She grinned at the teenager.
“Thanks,... Mom,” With that, she hurried down the stairs, yelling for James as she did.
Steadily, Haley got better around Jack and then Bobby, Angel, and the others until it was like she’d grown up around them.
“Hey Greg. What’s up?” Haley opened the door two years later to find her old social worker on the doorstep.
“I brought the three new kids,” He stepped out of the way to reveal three, black, starved looking, 11 year old triplets, one boy and two girls. “Hunter, Sadie, and Natalie this is Haley.”
“Mom! Hunter, Sadie and Natalie are here!” Haley called. “Hi guys. Come on in.”
“Thanks again, Greg,” Once again, Jay closed the door in Greg’s face.
“You enjoy that too much, Ma,” James spoke from the door to his basement room. He’d moved there recently for the triplets, like Bella had when Jay came. Just as Haley had moved to the attic like Jules had.
“Yes, yes I do,” Jay grinned up at him. “Haley, take the kids to their rooms. Dinner’s in an hour, everyone.”
