Saturday afternoon.
Amy and Poppy are both in the kitchen.
Poppy: Mom ?
Amy: Yeah ?
Poppy: Do you think Kirsten would agree to be my mother?
Amy paused then turned to her daughter and asked: What ? What do you mean ?
Poppy: Well, i love Kirsten, she takes care of me like you do but i would like to call her mom too…does that bother you ?
Seeing her daughter’s worried face, Amy took her hands and said : Oh Poppy…of course i don’t mind. And as for as Kirsten is concerned, well i think you can ask her the question yourself, she said indicating to Poppy the presence of Kirsten behind her.
Poppy: Kirsten ?!
Kirsten: Hello Poppy
Poppy: Since when are you here ? Why were you hiding ?
Kirsten: Since you asked your mother if i would agree to be your mother and actually i wasn’t hiding, i…yes ok maybe i was hiding.
Poppy: So, did you hear it all ?
Kirsten: Yes
Poppy: You don’t have to adopte me she said leaving the kitchen with tears in her eyes.
Amy: No Poppy wait !
Kirsten: No Poppy wait !
Come here, listen to me ! she said holding Poppy’s hands in hers. I love you, i love you with all my heart as if you were my own daughter and i will be more than happy to be your other mother.
Poppy: Really ?! Are you really going to adopt me ?
Kirsten: Yes, Yes Poppy i will adopt you !
