never comes up to our rooms.
           “As you know I contacted your aunt some time ago. I wanted to let you know that she has decided to come out here she will be here tomorrow. Therefore, I expect you to be on your best behavior when she gets here. Is that clear?”
           “Yes Mrs. Drew.” Jessa replied trying to contain her excitement.
           “Now with that being said I do not want you waiting downstairs in the lobby to see when she comes in. Mr. Henson and I need to speak with her first we will call you when we are ready for you. Besides, she never gave me a specific time when she would arrive. Oh and Mr. Henson asked me to remind you that you have an appointment with him tomorrow afternoon. So unless other wised informed you are to keep the appointment.” And with that being said Mrs. Drew turned and walked away.
           Jessa was so excited that she couldn’t even think straight. I can’t believe she is coming here Jessa thought. Does that mean she is going to take me back with her?  What should I wear to meet her? One thing I know for sure is I want be getting any sleep tonight
           Try as she might Jessa could not fall asleep. She had been trying for hours and nothing seemed to work she had even tired writing, but nothing. Oh I have to get some sleep Jessa thought. Maybe if I lay very still and try not to think about tomorrow I’ll fall asleep. Oh who am I kidding I can’t help but think about it. My aunt my real family is coming to see me and I’m going to have a real home. Who could sleep knowing something so great is going to happen the next day. Jessa finally fell asleep around three in the morning.
           Jessa woke with the same excitement that she had before she went to sleep only now she was a bit nervous to. The same thoughts about her aunt not liking her and so on were now wheeling through her mind. What if she doesn’t want me Jessa thought and then quickly shook her head. No, she is my family and family always wants you. Still that doesn’t mean she has to like me. Oh, I’m getting myself all worked up over nothing.
           It was almost noon and Mrs. Drew still hasn’t called for me, guess I’ll go see Mr. Henson Jessa thought. When Jessa got downstairs she noticed that Mrs. Drew and another woman were in his office so she decided to wait. Jessa tried so hard not to listen to what they were talking about but when she heard the woman say her name she couldn’t help but eavesdrop a little.
           “Jessa is my niece and I have a right to see her.” The woman said.
            “Miss Donavan under the circumstances I don’t’ think that is a very good idea. Want you agree Mr. Henson?” Mrs. Drew said.
            “I don’t care what you say I want to see her and if you don’t let me I’ll be back with my lawyer.”
           “There is no need for that Miss. Donavan. We are only thinking about what is best for Jessa.” Mr. Henson said.
           That must be my aunt Jessa thought, but why doesn't Mr. Henson and Mrs. Drew want her to see me? Isn’t that the whole reason Mrs. Drew contacted her? Mean old Mrs. Drew is just trying to keep me here, well I won’t let her! And with that Jessa burst through Mr. Henson’s door.
           “Jessa what on earth do you think you’re doing?” Mrs. Drew asked.
            “You can’t stop me from seeing my aunt.” Jessa cried
            “Jessa listen.” Mr. Henson said
            “No. The reason you called her was so we could me and she could take me home with her. Now you don’t want her to. What is wrong with you Mrs. Drew? First, you send me to a foster home where I was beat and left at the hospital and now that I have a real family you don’t even want me to see them. Why?”
            “Jessa Parks this is your aunt Beth Donavan. The reason we didn’t want you to meet is because she has no intentions to take you with her.”
