One word CALLAHAN, Alexa Shayla and Angel

[Sophia Carson]

"Kayla! KAYLA WHERE ARE YOU?" shayla called entering the school place again Kayla had told her to come visit and now she wanted to see her newest friend again she walked into the room grinning to herself happily. she hummed a song and walked inside when she saw nobody she just sat down and began swinging her legs back and fourth waiting for Kayla to show herself in the room, she hoped nobody would mind that she was there, sitting playing in a whose that belonged to who knew, she was very bored at the moment and began to play with the two yellow ribbons tied into her hair. she wore a pair of blue jeans with a yellow sweatshirt and her hair was tied into pigtails with two bright yellow ribbons.

[Angel Callahan]

Angel skipped off to the sitting room in front of her mom. Angel was going to listen to her mom's singing was the best. The young girl skipped into the sitting room and found another girl already there. She looked like someone she knew, like she was a family member or something. Angel smiled and walked over to the blonde girl who was swinging her legs back and forth over the couch. "Hi there!" Angel said happily. "I'm Angel Callahan. What's your name?" Angel asked as she looked to the other blonde girl. She had heard someone calling for her aunt, but her aunt was busy with something so she wasn't here.

Angel hugged her stuffed bunny in her arms before looking around for her mom, who was not there for some reason. Angel shrugged it off as her mom just being slow.

Alexa

Alexa followed her skipping young daughter into the sittings with the piano. It had been a while since she sang, but singing had always been a comfort for her and since her daughter had begged her to sing she agreed to do so. Angel had already gone to the sitting room, leaving Alexa behind. Alexa wasn't exactly feeling well because the last time she sang was when she was singing a lullaby for Logan James. Alexa stopped in front of the doorway into the sitting room and watched her daughter introduce herself to a young blonde she hadn't seen before.

She looks familiar...but I know I've never seen her before, but I know she's familiar. Alexa thought. Alexa smiled softly as her daughter was looking around for her. Alexa didn't feel like singing anymore. Alexa waited outside, leaning against the wall next to the doorway, tears slipping down her face. She wanted to have a bigger family with James but she couldn't risk losing another child, the heartbreak would be too much. I need to get a grip. I have to focus on Angel and her future. The future of mutant and humankind....

[Shayla Grace Tompson]

Shayla looked up and grinned at the girl who just entered "hello angel! my name is shayla! shayla grace Tompson" she said with a grinning the girl had a cute bunny rabbit and Shayla stared at it envious of the girls rabbit it was large and dangled in her arms the she looked over and saw another woman crying, she jumped up, and ran over to the woman, looking up at her wondering what was making her cry "miss, you shouldn't cry! gremlins will come and get you unless you're crying from happiness..." she said her blond hair hitting her shoulders and her wide blue eyes staring at the woman, she was merely repeating what her mommy had told her, her mom had even had a book of fairy tales she had read from to shayla every night, he looked away at the other girl and ran over to her "i like your bunny" she said enviously but in an innocent way.

[Angel Callahan]

Angel smiled at Shayla and watched curiously as she ran out the room and heard her talking to someone. Shayla said the person was crying. Angel frowned softly, her mom was crying? Why was her mom crying? Maybe she didn't want to sing to her? No that wasn't right, if her mom didn't want to sing for her she wouldn't have said yes. Angel watched Shayla return to her and smiled brightly when Shayla told her that she liked her bunny. "Thanks, my auntie made it for me. She's really good at making stuffed toys. I'm sure if you asked her she could make one for you. My auntie loves kids and loves making things for us." Angel said with a big smile. "How come you're here? I've never seen you here before? Are you a mutant? Are you joining the Institute?" Angel asked multiple questions at once all with excitement. The young Callahan hoped that Shayla would be staying. Angel sometimes felt out of place when she was around Arina and Jonah. They seemed so close because they were twins and Angel was an only child. She wanted to have a close friend, but Arina sometimes said and did mean things and Jonah...well he was usually tinkering with something or other and she didn't like bothering him because he was enjoying himself.

~Alexa~
Alexa was surprised when the blonde from the sitting room came outside to where she was and told her not to cry or "gremlins will come". She couldn't help but smile when she heard that. It sounded a lot like something her sister-in-law Sophia might say. Sophia had always read fairy tales when she was younger, if she remembered correctly. The girl was so innocent and pure, just like her little Angel. Even though the girl told her not to cry, she couldn't help but let the tears fall.

[Shayla Grace Tompson]

Shayla looked at the girl named angel, she was very friendly, and she made shayla smile "you really think she'll make me one? cause i'd like a bunny and I'm not joining, i was looking for kayla, she's my new friend she said i could come visit her.... but i AM a special child.... i mean mutant...." she said using the wrong word at first made her want to smack her head, she was still using mix terms and she needed to use other words, after all kayla had said mix were evil, and she needed to remember that cause she didn't want to be evil. she sighed and looked over to where the bigger girl was "i'll be right back!" she said to Angel and ran over to the big girl who stood outside and she grabbed her hand and pulled her into the sitting room and pushed her into the couch. "no more crying ok? i'm not kidding, my mommy used to read me this one book and it specifically says that you should never be sad cause the fairies are watching you! and if you cry it'll make them die cause they live off happiness.... DONT KILL THE FAIRIES!" she said loudly almost upset that someone would do such a thing to poor innocent fey's, she looked down at her shoes they were pretty, they had a wing painted on the left and right side, it looked a little strange but Shayla treasured them more then anything, she looked up with a large smile.

[James Callahan]

James had a lot on his mind recently. Ever since that day at the park with his sister... he had been consumed with the desire to bring that lost Callahan home. He didn't want another one of his family to not know who she was... and if Jet found out... they all knew what Jet would do to keep this family together... they had all seen that with Sophia. James was more determined then ever to adopt Shayla. James finished his conversation with the adoption agency who said that the papers would be ready to be signed by him and his wife this afternoon.

That was when James hung up and went in search for Alexa, he would adopt her without his wife's permission, but he would rather have her on his side for something like this. He was going to be bringing another child into their lives. Alexa and himself had a lot of kids in their custody already... Sasha, Jayson and their own daughter Angel. James didn't want to bring another kid in and not have Alexa on his side.

James frowned when he saw the scene in front of him. His wife was crying... she had been doing that more since Logan James hadn't made it... James didn't know how to make it better... There was no way though, they had spent most of their energy trying to make their surviving child understand that her little brother wasn't going to be here, and that he had more important things to do... It wasn't the right time...

James walked into the room and wrapped his arms around his wife. He needed to be her pillar of strength. Alexa needed him, just like he needed her. They were going to make the world safe for their daughter... then they could think of trying again....

James froze for a moment as he recognized the other little girl in the room. Shayla... It was Sophia's daughter... James was once again struck with how much she looked like Virginia... It was so shocking to him... "Hey beautiful." He whispered to his wife as he held her from behind. He brushed some of her tears off softly. He smiled to his daughter and Shayla. "Hey there, baby. Who's your friend?" He asked Angel. This was where he was happy. Seeing his daughter smiling and his wife in his arms. This was his paradise, and he wanted to make sure that Sophia got to have her paradise, despite what she said about not having Shayla out of love. James knew that a daughter was a gift, no matter how unexpected. James was going to give this gift to his sister, whether she knew she wanted it or not.

[Sophia Carson]

Shayla looked up and saw a man walk into the room as well she looked up at him and grinned "HI! you're the man who gave me my ball back" shayla said grinning as she recognized the man in front of her he had been there the day she was celebrating her birthday he had been a little strange that day but it didn't matter, shayla wasn't one to dwell of the past or on peoples flaws. she looked up at Angel and the other woman who seemed to scry less now that the man was here, Shayla felt the need to introduce herself "my name is Shayla, Shayla Grace Tompson" she said grinning her head tilted to the side and a large smile plastered on her face. Shayla was always a strange child and it showed even in her posture, until any other child her age she stood up straight hands at her sides feet together and facing forward, her posture was impeccable with no flaws, she didn't know where she got that trait from but she didn't really mind, it was probably her fathers side though, she pursed her lips slightly and looked at the man again, he had blue eyes and blond hair, though he looked just a little scruffy, she couldn't help but stare at him he seemed so very very familiar to her, he seemed very nice and she stared almost unblinking his eyes were very blue, like a pretty kind of light blue, though she didn't know the proper description. her feet moved forward a couple steps and she continues to stare though her mommy would have told her she was being rude. finally she broke contact and went back over to angel "so do YOU know a girl named kayla? she said i could come visit her...." she said confused as to why the older girl was not there.

[Alexa Callahan]

Alexa was even more surprised when the mysterious girl came back from the sitting room and dragged her over to the sitting room and sat her down on the couch. Said girl began scolding her about crying and killing fairies. Alexa stopped crying for a brief moment with a weak smile. "Indeed, I have been told that many times...both by my sister-in-law and my close friend who can see them." Alexa said, her voice weak. She had never been expected to be yelled at by a child, but she wasn't one to kill precious fey either, but the child couldn't understand how hard it was to live when something you wanted was taken from you. She thought she was messed up when she didn't have her father as a child, well she was sorely mistaken when she had lost her son. It would've been an easier heartbreak if she had him and he ended up caught in a crossfire, but he had still been inside her, still safe, but he just couldn't make it. Alexa blamed herself mostly, but her daughter told her that if she kept crying Logan James would be crying too.

When James came into the room she smiled weakly to him. James came into the room and sat down on the couch and wrapped his arms around her making her feel better. She wiped away the remaining tears, now that she stopped crying. "Hi..." she replied weakly to her husband's greeting.

Alexa giggled softly as the mystery girl finally introduced herself. Shayla Grace Thompson, it was a mouthful of a name, but a beautiful name nonetheless. There was something familiar about the girl's posture...it looked a lot like how Sophia carried herself when they first met. Hell Sophia probably still had her perfect posture even now. It was actually amusing how the girl stared at her husband. Then she finally broke contact and spoke to Angel asking if she knew a girl named Kayla.

~Angel~
Angel watched as Shayla brought her mama into the sitting room and told her not to cry because it would kill the fairies. She couldn't help but giggle into her bunny, it was a funny sight to behold, her mama being scolded by someone much younger. It sounded a lot like her mama's friend Ginger who would read her stories and tell her what fairies told her since she could see them since they were considered spirits of nature a lot of times.

Angel smiled when her papa came into the room and wrapped his arms around her mama. Her papa loved her mama so much and he always cheered her up just by being there. Angel tilted her head to the side in confusion when Shayla told her papa "you're the man who gave me my ball back". Papa saw her? When? Angel wondered. She was about to introduce Shayla to her papa, when said girl introduced herself. Angel smiled and giggled to herself as her new friend Shayla stared at her papa with something like curiosity. Then Shayla turned back to her and asked her if she knew a girl named Kayla.

"Sure do. She's my auntie. But she's not here right now. I don't know where she is, but if you know her then I'm sure she'll make you a bunny if I asked her for you." Angel said.

[James Callahan]

James adored the feeling of his wife in his arms, after everything they had been through, he needed to have her near him. Alexa had been his everything since the day they had met... and that would never change, sure it was rearranged when Angel was born, and then again when they lost Logan James... but he still loved her with every little piece of him. Alexa was his world.

She smiled at Shayla. This girl could not be anymore like Virginia if she tried. James nodded, "Oh that's right, I remember you." He told her with a sweet smile, but it was after she said her name that he pretended to look shocked. "Really, now this is a coincidence." He told her with a smile. He wasn't sure how to react to her little stare, but this seemed like a good time as any to bring up his plan to his wife and daughter. "Alexa," He said turning to his wife, "Remember how I told you I had something big to tell you? Well, this little girl is it. I was going to ask how you felt about adopting her?" James asked looking his wife in the eyes. This is Sophia's daughter... I'll explain tonight... promise." He thought to her with a smile. This had not been how he wanted to bring that up to Alexa and Angel, but it was a good time as any.

James then looked at his daughter, "Would that be okay with you too, sweetheart?" He asked her, he wanted Angel to be okay with it of course. She was his pride and joy, and she had him wrapped around her little five year old finger. James smiled even bigger and turned to little Shayla, "Would you like to be a Callahan, Shayla?" He asked her quietly. There he went again... noticing the little things that made her exactly like Ginny... Shayla must have taken almost nothing from whoever he father was.... Strange how the world did that sometimes...

[Sophia Carson]

shayla grinned as she was told once again she could have a bunny, she liked bunnies, especially white ones, when they were big and fluffy and soft, those were the best kind of bunnies in the world. needless to say she was very excited. she wondered who the man was though, he must be angel's daddy but if he was then why was he so..... old? was the the word? she was pretty sure that was the word she was looking for... he was also a bad actor, and shayla knew he wasn't at all shocked that she was shayla grace tompson, especially is he was planning on adopting her, but then again why was he at the park then? was he trying to see his potential daughter? or did he decide then to make her his daughter? shayla sat down on the ground thinking. she tried to make sense of everything in her head and it wasn't very easy especially not for a child of five. he asked her to be a callahan though, but then asked his wife and kid, Shayla knew where this was going, she'd be asked to be adopted before but once they said they had to talk to their family first it was all over, there had been the woman who had to many dogs, and scary dogs too, and then there was the man who believed in only eating vegetables, and there was that one christian family who said if she was adopted they would teach her to prey every half hour to help cleanse her sinful soul.... whatever that meant...... for some reason they all backed out of the adoption and for some reason they all seemed afraid of her, though shayla didn't mind she didn't think those families would be very nice for her to life with. but this family didn't seem so bad, just a little strange, and that was only the families daddy "shayla Grace Callahan" she said trying out the name for size, she then stood up and began saying loudly "hello! my name is shayla grace callahan, CALLAHAN shayla callahan, shay callahan, grace callahan, my name is shayla grace tompson, shayla tompson, shay tompson, grace tompson" she said testing the name against each other and seeing which one sounded better, then she sighed "i dont know, Shayla Grace Callahan just doesn't sound nearly as pretty and its harder to say..." she said shrugging, her new name had to sound pretty, at least as pretty as her current name her mommy said her name had to be pretty and that she had worked hard to give shayla the best possible name. she looked up at the man again "i don't think i can be a Callahan, i'm just not suited for the roll...." she said shrugging, she was very honest with what she said even when her logic lacked...... well logic.



((ooc- heheh just so you know i love the name shayla grace Callahan, much prettier the shayla grace tompson.... oh and also i like how she said she's not suited to be a Callahan but she already IS a Callahan XD god i love this lil girl XD))
