Her own custom designed room!

Alexa gasped as she stared at a brand new fully customized kid’s room. The wallpaper was pink and covered in cartoony unicorns:

There was even pink carpet that covered what once had been wood flooring.

The bed had Disney princess bedding and childish sheets:

The outfits that had been purchased had been neatly folded into pink drawers and there were diapers all in a little changing area and a white corner desk with pink drawers and Alexa’s laptop in another area of the room.

“W-what…” Alexa said feeling tears forming in her eyes.

“Oh… did I do too much?” Carol said. “I just thought… since you’ll be living here… I…I thought you’d want your own room… I’m sorry I didn’t consult you. I should’ve… also I got your stuff back, there was a pleasant exchange with a very nice woman…”

“No,” Alexa said. “I’m not sad or upset… these are… happy t-tears. No one has ever done something so… nice. Thank you so much… m-mom.”

Alexa threw her arms around Carol’s neck as she cried. “Oh dear,” Carol said. “You’ll make me cry too… oh Lexi, I’m so happy you’re apart of my life… I never thought… a daughter… I have a daughter…”

Alexa sniffled. “Thank you, so much. I love this. My own room… I don’t have to share with my sister, do I?”

Carol laughed. “No… I guess you don’t. I don’t think I could fly her to California anyways… Lexi… are you… sure you don’t want to tell your family about this?”

“What would they say?” Alexa said, nibbling her lip. “What would I tell them? I can’t just say hey mom I’m going to be raised by a lady I met on the plane… can I?”

“Well… maybe not in those words,” Carol said as the man left the house, giving the women their space.

Carol wrapped her arms tightly around Alexa. “Whatever you want to do. I’m here for you. If you want to just not tell anyone. I’ll do it. If you ever want to go back to New York, just tell me. If you ever want to… leave, just tell me. I won’t be hurt if you want to go back to your adult life.”

Alexa nodded, rubbing her eyes. “Thank you, mom. So much.”
