Thanks for you kind Comments
Chapter 6
The went to bed , and were awoken the next morning at 7am. Luke grabbed the phone, looking at the clock.
"Hello"
"I'm so sorry, I called so early, but I have amazing news".
"What is it"?
"Well if you want you can take Sanda today. Morgan is upset but she goes into the hospital tomorrow for her operation. She said if your ready, she could bring her over, or you can pick her up"
"When Karen"?
"Today anytime Luke".
"We will go to Morgan's, thank you Karen, we owe you so much"
"You don't owe me anything Luke, just be happy and make Sanda happy"
"We will promise", they said goodbye , and Luke was so excited. He jumped on the bed scaring Reid, "Luke what is wrong with you"?
"Guess what"?
"What you lost your mind, it is 7am Luke"?
"What would be the best news right about now"?
Reid smiled, " What Sanda, we can get Sanda today"?
"Yes, anytime, Morgan has to go into the hospital tomorrow"
"The bed it hasn't come yet".
"It is coming tonight, besides she can sleep in the other bed one night". Reid hugged Luke, they ran into the bathroom. Luke was shaving, while Reid jumped into the shower. Reid got out getting dried, and ran into the bathroom, changing into dress pants, and a nice shirt. Luke walked out of the bathroom, he walked into the closet , and got changed. They grabbed a coffee, drank it really quick, and were out the door. Reid got in the car, and looked at Luke, "we forgot the most important thing Luke"?
"What"?
"A Booster seat for the car, she needs one".
"Well we can get it now, before we pick her up".
"Ok, I better calm down, I'm freaking out right now. Look at my hands Luke , what is wrong with me"?
"Your nervous, and excited so am I, but everything will be fine". They drove to the department store, and go in getting a booster chair. The fasten it in the backseat, and smile at each other , and go to the Foster Parents home. They got out of the car, and walked up to the door. Morgan opened the door, "OMG your really early, she is still finishing up breakfast. I know it is Little late, but I was up all night, and she didn't want to eat until now. I have to say she is a good eater, but she only eats when she wants to."
She smiled, "Lets go see her in the kitchen'. They walked in, and Sanda got off her seat running over hugging Reid than Luke.
Reid knelt down, " Hello Sanda, did you sleep well last night"?
"Yes, but I dreamed about my birthday, and I was so happy at McDonald's" Morgan smiled, " She has been looking forward to the McDonald's birthday".
"Sounds like it", Luke smiled,
"Yes, and I can have a cake and everything. I don't have a lot of friends, but I have you Reid, and Luke, and Morgan, and baby Sarah".
"Yes you do, we all will be there I promise". Sanda smiled, and Morgan walked over, "Sweetie you are going to go home with Luke and Reid, they are going to be your Parents now. They will take really good care of you, and I want you to know I love you so much Sweetie".
"I love you too". Morgan walked over, "here is her stuff, and this is her favorite bunny, you can put it into the wash". Luke took the stuff while Reid held her hand. Morgan hugged her , and Luke and Reid could see she really loved Sanda. They smiled, and promised her they will bring her over to see her anytime she wants. She shook their hand, and they said they would be in touch. Sanda walked to the car, and waved to Morgan. They put her in the booster seat, and got in the car. They were driving, and she yelled, "Off we go".
Luke and Reid both laugh, and she giggled, making them laugh even harder.

Cute update Jessie. I LOVE it that Sanda ran into Reid's arms first when Reid and Luke came to Morgan's house to pick her up. I hope that Sanda's foster mother Morgan is going to be Ok.

Chapter 7
Luke and Reid arrive home, and get Sanda out of the car. Luke walked up opening the door, as Reid held her hand. She walked in, and ran over, "wow look at that big TV".
"Yeah Luke picked that out, guess what he will have you watching everyday"?
"What"?
"I love Lucy".
Sanda smiled, " I know Lucy she is funny".
"You watch that show"?
"Yes , Mrs Stevens liked it".
"Wow what is going on Luke , all the young people love that show"?
"It is funny, and clean cut, something good for her to watch".
"Yeah as long as she doesn't act like her". Reid smiled. He knelt down, " I have something for you wait right here". Luke laughed, Reid ran and got the baseball glove, and hats. Sanda ran over, "baseball me and Ben play this, I'm not very good".
"I will teach you, maybe we can get Luke playing too".
"Yeah, you both should play it is good exercise".
"Oh your Foster Mom told you that too"?
"Yes, she is really nice".
Luke walked over, "would you like to see you bedroom"?
"Yes please", they walked her upstairs, and she walked into her new room. She looked around, and was just staring.
"Do you like it Sanda"?
"This is my room, I'm sleeping in here all alone"?
"Yes, why are you worried about that"?
"No, I like it she ran over jumping on the bed. She laughed, "this is a Mommy bed"
"Your little bed is coming tonight".
"I want this bed".
"No, you have a smaller bed you would be much more comfortable in".
"This is big, if I get scared you both can sleep with me". Luke smiled, " Well if you get scared, but you have to be a big girl ok".
"I am can't you see"?
Reid was laughing, and Luke smiled, " Well would you like to see you new clothes".?
"Yes", Sanda was all excited, and so was Luke. He was pulling the stuff out of the bag, and she was so happy. She loved all her new pajamas especially the Angel, and kitten one. She like her party dress, and she was wanting to try it on. Reid brought over her barbies, and other few toys, and she wanted everyone of them open. She asked them both if they liked to play Barbie's? They both laugh, but said they would love to play Barbie's sometimes. Reid picked up Sanda, "want to see the best present me and Luke got you"?
"Another one, is it Christmas"?
"No Sweetie, but we want you to be happy living here".
'I am happy, but who is my Daddy now"? Reid and Luke were stunned neither could speak. Sanda giggled, " Are you my Daddy"? She was looking at Reid smiling.
"Well we both are, you are one lucky girl to have 2 Father's don't you agree"?
"2 Dad's I'm am lucky", she clapped her hands. Luke and Reid smiled, and took her down to see her new bike. They took her to the porch, and she saw it and her eyes lite up. " Is this my Birthday present early"?
"No, that is your welcome to the family present'.
Sanda walked over touching the bike, and Luke and Reid just watched. She ran over to them, and yelled, "Thank you Daddy", twice as she hugged them both.

Cute update Jessie. I LOVE that Sanda called both Reid and Luke Daddy. Sanda is a very lucky little girl to have both Reid and Luke as her Daddies. I LOVE this story soo much. Thank you soo much Jessie for writing this awesome story for me. This story is helping me get through watching the final week of As The World Turns and seeing all of the straight couples getting their happy endings while Luke is mourning for Reid. I just don't understand why the writers of As The World Turns couldn't let Reid and Luke be happy together.

Chapter 8
Reid and Luke decided to take Sanda for a ride on her new bike. She never rode before, so they both were worried. She got on the bike, and they were showing her what to do. They held the back, as she was peddling, she was laughing. She was doing good, she was peddling and staying in a perfect line. They let go of the bike, but ran beside it. She was so excited she was riding, all on her own. She smiled, but got scared she didn't know how to stop.
"Daddy stop it please". Reid and Luke stopped it, and she smiled. "I was riding all on my own".
"Yes you were that was amazing Sanda".
"I know, I'm smart". Luke and Sanda smiled, "Yes you are, very smart. How would you like to go back, and get something to eat"?
" Yes, spaghetti"?
"You want spaghetti Sanda"?
"Yes, with tomato sauce". Luke loved that idea, he loved Spaghetti too. They got back to the house. They put her bike in the garage, and they went inside. Sanda whispered, "can I watch , I love Lucy, while I wait for dinner"?
Reid smiled, "Luke go watch it with her, I can handle making spaghetti"
"You are sure Reid"?
"Yes, go you love that show , so does she obviously". Luke grabbed Sanda's hand, "lets go watch the show Sweetie". Sanda ran into the living room with Luke. She sat on the couch, as Luke put the DVD in. Sanda smiled, clapping her hand, "there is Lucy Daddy".
"Yes, it is", he sat beside her, and they both were laughing and giggling. Reid was getting supper ready, but he couldn't keep his eyes, off of Luke and Sanda. She really loved being here, she was fitting in perfectly. Luke yelled, "You need any help Reid"?
"No, I'm managing, he was set the table, while he was waiting for the spaghetti to cook. It was finished, he walked in, "Supper is ready, Daddy can pause that show, you can finish watching it later". Sanda got up, and ran to the dining room.
"What seat is mine Daddy"?
"That one right there, do you need help getting up"?
"No, I can do it" she struggled but got up. She sat looking at Reid, and he laughed.
"It is coming, don't worry". Luke was helping, and he put the plate in front of Sanda. She whispered, "You have to cut it up for me, I choke sometimes". Reid got up cutting up the spaghetti, putting sauce on it. She smiled, as she ate and they both laugh, she had spaghetti sauce all over her face. Luke got up, wiping her face, and she kept eating.
"Do you like it Sanda"?
"Yes, it is really good, I don't like Morgan's spaghetti much".
"Why"?
"She has the can spaghetti, it tastes yucky, this is good".
They all finish, and Luke walked the plates over to the sink. He rinsed them, and was putting them in the dishwasher. She ran over, " I can help you"
" Next time, that is very nice of you to offer Sanda"
"Thank you Daddy, can we finish watching , I love Lucy"?
"Go sit, I will be there in a minute, go get Reid to watch it with us".
"He is Daddy , Daddy".
"Oh sorry, that is right, go get Daddy to watch". She ran over , and Reid picked her up.
"Daddy we are going to watch the rest of , I love Lucy. You can watch too , it is so funny".
"Yes she is, how would you like to be Lucy on Halloween"?
Sanda was so excited, Reid touched her face. " We will get Katie, to help make you a costume, she makes the best costume's".
"Daddy"
"Yes Sweetie"
" I have to go to the bathroom".
"Oh, sorry, he walked her over to the toilet, and put her down. I will be right outside this door, if you need help"
"Daddy"
"Yes Sanda".
" I can't get my button undone, can you help"? Reid walked over undoing it, and touched her face. She smiled, " I will be fine now Daddy". He walked out, and smiled, "Oh Reid you have to calm down, your going to be a Daddy now".

Chapter 9
Reid waited outside for Sanda, she came out, and he helped her do up her pants. She ran to the kitchen Daddy is supper almost ready, "I'm hungry real bad"? Reid smiled lifting her up, and sitting her on the chair. He helped Luke set the table, and Luke put the Spaghetti , and meat balls on the plate. He brought it over, and smiled, "wait a minute, make sure it isn't to hot". Sanda blew on the plate making Reid and Luke smile. Luke grabbed the garlic bread , and they all sat down. Sanda looked at Reid than Luke, and whispered, "I have to have my Spaghetti cut up, it is to big for me". Reid got up cutting the spaghetti, and he touched her face, "We will learn this is new for us Sweetie".
"Daddy"
"Yes, Sanda"?
"Who is going to read me a story when I go to bed"? Reid smiled, "Luke is a great story teller he doesn't need a book, he makes up his own".
"Right Reid like you don't tell the most amazing stories sometimes."
"Yeah, but we have to have age appropriate stories Luke". They both laugh, and Sanda laughs too. Sanda was eating, " you have to buy me some coloring books, I love to color, and paint".
" We will do that first thing tomorrow".
They were eating and Sanda got up, pulling the chair over to the sink. "I'm going to help, I will wash, and Daddy Reid can dry"
"Why Daddy Reid, why not Daddy Luke"?
"Because he cook dinner silly, he deserves a break". Luke was laughing, and Reid pouts, "I hate doing dishes". Sanda touched his arm, "Daddy just do it, and it will be over before you know it"?
"How old are you Sanda, 4 or 40"?
"4 but I will be 5 soon Daddy".
"Yes, you will, and we are going to have a big party for you".
"At McDonald's right"?
" Yeah McDonald's, whatever you want"
"Daddy".
"Yes, I really like being here, you need me".
"We sure do sweetie", Sanda smiled, and continued washing the dishes. They finished, and Reid told her to go in the living room. She wanted the three of them to watch , "I love Lucy". They sat together on the couch, watching the show. Luke and Reid couldn't get over her laugh, she loved Lucy. They were going to try to find some picture of the I love Lucy show for her wall.
Reid got up turning off the TV, and clapped his hand. "Time for bed, you are up to late as it is"
' Oh, you have to read me a story".
" I will lets go upstairs, and get you ready". Luke held her hand, and they went to her room. She wanted to wear the cat pajama, and she was getting changed. Luke pulled down her sheets, and comforter. She went to the bathroom, washed her hands, than brushed her teeth. She got in bed, and got under the covers. Luke sat beside her and she leaned her head on his arm. He started reading the Little house on the Prairie books, he got at the library. Sanda loved them, she didn't want him to stop. Reid walked in, " how did you like your Story Sanda"?
"It was good, you missed it, there is this little girl named Laura, and she has a family and they live in a little cottage house. Look at the picture Daddy, she is really pretty isn't she".
"Yes, she is if you love this story so much, there is a TV show about the same little girl. The three of us can watch it, if you like".
"Yes, can we please".
"Sure but you have to go to sleep Sweetie, we will see you tomorrow morning. We are right next door, so just call us if you need us".
"Ok, but can I have the night light on".
"Sure, we will keep that on", Luke kissed her, than Reid did. He tucked her in, and smiled, " goodnight angel see you in the morning, Daddy loves you".
Sanda giggled, "my two Dad's love me".
"Yes , we both do, he kissed her again, and walked to the door. Luke and Reid were hoping she would be fine, as they went to their room.

Cute updates Jessie. I LOVE this story soo much. IMO, Reid is going have a hard time going back to work at the hospital now that he and Luke have Sanda in their lives. I can just see Reid calling/texting Luke all day the first day he goes back to work at the hospiital to check on their daughter. LOL I LOVED the TV show Little House On the Prairie as a child.

This was one of my favourite chapters, it was cute. ;D Chapter 9
Sanda fell asleep , and Luke and Reid kissed her forehead, and put the blanket over her. They left the night light on, and kept the door open slightly. They went down for a coffee, both of them were sitting at the table. Luke smiled, " I think the first day went wonderful, don't you"?
"Yes, she is adorable and smart"
" We have to buy the Little House on the Prairie DVD's for her. I think she will love that series".
"Yes, Luke tomorrow I work, what are you going to do with her"?
"Oh we have to wait for her bed to arrive, they called saying it should be here tomorrow morning. I want to take her out to buy a few picture for her room, and I was thinking of taking her over to the Snyder Farm"
"No, wait for me, I love it there, I want to share that with her"
"Ok Reid, I didn't know you loved it there"
"I do but I know she will love it". Reid smiled
"Are you tired Reid"?
"Yes, I better turn in, I have a long day tomorrow. I will hate leaving her, I have to ask Bob if I can get sometime off. We could take her up on a little trip or something".
"Reid"
"What Luke"?
"Are you scared, like worried we might make a mistake or something"
"I'm petrified, but we will do fine" They ran upstairs, and got ready for bed. They were asleep, after talking for awhile. It was 2am, when Reid jumped feeling Sanda touching his shoulder.
"OMG Sweetie, what is wrong"?
" I heard someone in my room"
"What Reid picked up Sanda sitting her beside Luke, who woke up. "What is wrong Reid"?
"Sanda said someone is in her room, I will check it out. Stay here with her, don't follow me Luke".
Reid walked into Sanda room turning on the light, checking everywhere. He walked back to the bedroom, "Sanda no one is in there, you probably heard the wind".
"I'm scared can I sleep here". Luke and Reid both stare at each other, not knowing if they should?. "Sweetie, how about we take you back to your room, and stay with you until you fall asleep".
"You don't want me Daddy Reid"?
"Yes, I want you , Ok get in the middle of us". Sanda giggled, and got under the covers. Luke smiled, "Oh man we weren't prepared for this Reid".
They laid beside her, and she whispered, "Isn't this nice"?
"Yes", Reid couldn't help but laugh, making Sanda giggle.
"Young lady, this is for tonight tomorrow, you are in your room understood"
"Ok Daddy, your grumpy"
Luke was laughing so hard, he got up going to the bathroom. "Where are you going Daddy Luke" ?
"To have a drink, I will be right back".
"Ok but to much water before bed, might make you have an accident". Reid looked at Luke, "Yeah we don't want you to have a accident Luke".
Luke came back to bed, "Fine no water", he laid down.
"That is good Daddy, because I have accidents, if I drink to much"
Reid sat up, "Luke did you give her to much to drink before bed"? Luke was laughing, but managed to say "no".
"Good", Reid laid back
They all were laying quietly. Sanda whispered, "Are you asleep yet"?
"No, but you should be Sanda, we will be tired tomorrow".
"Ok, I'm trying, give me some time ok"
Reid and Luke where trying to be serious, but they both couldn't believe they adored this little girl already, they couldn't lose her now.
