Chapter one, An Angel to watch over me
"Mommy?" A small voice yelled for the third time.
"She's not here, she left months ago. Now be QUIET and get back to your room". The small girl was roughly shoved by someone much larger than herself.
"Don't you dare disturb me again" The voice said. It was icy and vicious. As the young girl crept back to her dingy room she closed the door and huddled under her covers. She heard footsteps down the corridor and her father's angry voice outside her door. she squeezed her eyes tight shut as the door swung open with a bang.
Annabel Jackson woke up with a jump. She looked frantically around her room. Her father was nowhere nearby and her door was closed. She had been having a nightmare. A flashback. She looked around her room. She was in the children's home. She heard Larry snoring next door and knew she was safe. She climbed out of her bed and knelt down beside her bed. She looked out of her window and into the sky. She clasped her hands together and started to pray.
"Dear God. Daddy always said you were not real and Mommy said she lost her faith in you". The young girl paused before continuing.
"Please look after my Mommy – wherever she is. And please God, if you're really listening and you really are real, please find me a family. A proper family with a mommy and daddy who love me and have a back yard where I can play. Maybe even a puppy?" she said sounding hopeful. She shook her head. "No, sorry God. Forget the puppy but I would love a real family. Thank-you God for hearing my prayers.
I believe in you.
Amen".
She them climbed back into her bed and fell into an uneasy, dreamless sleep.
Life had never been easy for Annabel Jackson. Little did she know, somewhere not so far away, lay the answer to all of her prayers.

As she collected the mail, Gabriella carried it in hopefully. It had become a daily ritual for her since her and her husband Troy had been approved to adopt.
As she sorted through the mail, she placed it on the counter. As she came to the last letter, she felt her heart skip a beat. It was from the children's home.
'This is it' she said to herself as she ripped open the letter.
A photo fell out of the envelope and onto the counter. The letter discarded, Gabriella looked at the picture.
The little girl looked no more than about 6 years old. Tears welled in Gabriella's eyes. She felt a fluttering in her stomach, a mixture of excitement and nerves. It felt right, this was going to be her daughter, and she just knew it.
After staring at the picture for some time, she placed it delicately down on the immaculate marble counter, picked up the accompanying letter and began to read.
"They want us to meet her tomorrow?" she whispered. She grabbed the phone and called Troy. She struggled to get her words out as she told Troy the good news through her sea of tears.
"They've found us a match" she managed to choke out before her emotions took over.
She knew tomorrow would be the start of the rest of their lives, together, As one.
