The latter I think

Do you want me to start us or do you want to?

Can you?

Yes I can!

The sun rose on a normal day.
The only changes in Alice's set schedule were minor: a fresh stack of papers on her night table, a laundry hung, a fresh batch of cookies scenting the house, a full fridge. And an extra room full of a young person's possessions. Minor changes.
Truth be told, she was terrified. She was sitting alone in her living room, freshly showered and dressed, humming nervously as she stared at her entrance hall. In a bit, it would be full of officials and one little boy that was to be her son.
Of course, that wasn't how they all saw it; to them, he was nothing but a project. She wasn't planning on keeping that mindset, though.

(Hey I have a fairytale based Rp called Its Just a Story that needs a couple more evil kids if you want to join)

Elliot picked at his arm and looked outside the car window to see a couple more cars following his. He looked at the lady that sat beside him and bit his lip. "Am I going home?" He asked softly. The last nodded and smiled "yes, you are going home to your family."

(I'd love to but I've got too many rps right now, I'm sorry!)
Every time a car sounded on the street outside, she tensed, shoulders taut and hands clutching each other until the second it passed. It was a lot of these moments and twinges of disappointment before, finally, a car pulled into her driveway. She was up in an instant, standing right next to her shut front door.

Elliot unbuckled his belt and looked at the door of the house. He grabbed his backpack and stuffed elephant, holding it close to his body. The lady led him to the door with a clipboard in her hand.

There was a knock at the door. Alice wrenched it open, her tied blonde hair bouncing in her excitement. "Hey!" she said slightly loudly, grinning from ear to ear.

Elliot ran a hand through his hair and frowned 'Who is this lady?' he wondered

The lady smiled back and walked closer "hello, I have brought your son back."

Alice clasped her hands together, the role of mother naturally taking over. “Elliot, oh my god,” she murmured, looking down at him. She got to her knees and pulled him into an impossibly tight hug, holding him close to her. “Welcome,” she breathed into his ear.

Elliot tended when the lady hugged him and awkwardly patted her back. Breaking the hug, he took a few steps back and hugged his elephant. "Um, hi?" He asked

Alice stood up straight, her expression frozen in the previous smile. "I'm sorry… I've missed you, honey. You've been away for a while," she justified, hugging herself instead and meeting the official's gaze.

The official rolled her eyes and pushed the clipboard ahead. "Need you to sign these papers and provide proof that this is you and then we'll be on our way." She said, faking a smile.

Alice nodded meekly, gently pulling Elliot further into the doorway. She took the papers and, leaning against the front wall, quickly signed off the kid. “Here you go.” She handed it back.

Elliot gently brushed her hand off and took a few steps back, looking around the outside of the house and taking into account any small details.

The official nodded and took the clipboard back and turned around without saying goodbye. The car pulled out of the driveway zoomed off down the street

Alice pulled the door shut, then turned around and leaned against looking over at Elliot. “Well… welcome home. Do you want me to bring your things upstairs?” she offered with a smile,

"No, I can do that. Where is my room?" He asked holding his suitcase close to him.and looking up the stairs. The shadow of decorations seemed to be looking at him, curiously waiting for some movement

Helen let the smile slip. “Okay. It’s up the stairs and last door to your right.” Her tine was still kind, just slightly more distant.
