Chapter 24

Lilith's POV

You wouldn't know the pain of losing a child if you don't have one.

Adopting Artemis and Athena wasn't easy here in Folksville especially since Lexi and I are a gay couple. Social workers and the adoption agency kept 'visiting' us just to know if we failed as parents so they could take them away.

They called us 'unfit' because we had no male figure to raise them. Both Lexi and I strived hard to prove to them that we could raise them right.

We got through all that and a lot more even from family members,my own mother disowned me when I came out. Since then I have not had any contact with them. Tsk.. you would think being the last born I would have been accepted but eyy not everything goes how we plan it.

I can't believe I even went with the idea knowing it would be dangerous for her. She's so stubborn just like her mom. I may have overreacted but what do expect me to do?
