Chapter 19


SONYA POV (oooo different I know XP)

I laughed and practically jumped out of my seat. I didn't want to scare her too bad so I composed myself a bit more and I walked up to Dick and Melody with a bright smile on my face. I absolutely loved children, hence the reason I became a school teacher. Melody observed me and I observed her. Her forever long dark waves were matted together and in desperate need of a wash. Her skin was a light caramel color similar to my own. Her eyes were a dark blue color and she had the prettiest eyelashes.

"Hello little one," I greeted her "I'm Sonya, Let's go get cleaned up and Richard here is going to tell The Big Bat all about you." I took Melody in my arms and looked up at Dick expectantly."Won't you Didi?" He swallowed and glanced around the room.

"Of course I will." He said nervously.

I giggles with excitement as I practically ran to the elevator. When the elevator doors closed I sat Melody down on her feet. She looked up at me expectantly.

"Y-you're not going to take me back, a-are you?"

"Aww of course not. I would never take you back to that horrible place. I was actually wondering if you would want to come live with me and Dick. How do you feel about that? I know you don't really know us yet and -"

"Yes."

"What?" I hadn't expected her to really have an answer.

"You look nice. The people who found me were nice and the tall one even put me on his shoulders!"

I giggled and I could feel my smile widen. The doors of the elevator opened and I led Melody by the hand to the washroom. After washing all the dirt and grime off of the small girl we sat in my room as I brushed her hair. I could already tell that I was going to spoil her silly. There was a soft knock in the door frame of my door and I glanced over to see Layla standing in my doorway holding tight to her stuffed cardinal.

"Yes layla?" she looked up at me and noticed Melody sitting directly in front of me.

"Alfie made cookies and Pască." I smiled at her use of the romanian name for my favorite treat. Easter bread is amazing especially when Alfred makes it. "Granpapa Bruce wants to meet Melody." Melody turned so she was facing Layla and pulled herself off of the ground. She walked over to Layla and stuck out her hand. It was adorable.

"Hi, my names Melody."

Layla took her hand and shook it.

"I'm Layla." They grinned at each other and Layla smirked, something she had picked up from Jason. "The dress looks nice on you." I had Melody dressed in one of Layla's old nightgowns.

"Thanks." They grinned at each other and Layla took Melody by the hand.

"Let's go meet everyone. I promise they are nice." and with that they ran out the door giggling.

I smiled brightly. Things were finally going right.
