It had been four weeks since the disastrous holiday, Tori was fully recovered and Jade's back was fine now. Cat was heading home from the groups favourite Karaoke club, Jade had opted to stay with Beck longer and would return later. As she was getting close to her home however she heard something, it sounded like crying, she looked around and then realized it was coming from a nearby alleyway. She cautiously approached and looked around again, she still couldn't see anything, just then she heard the cries getting louder and realized they were coming from the dumpster next to her. She looked in and froze, her eyes wide with shock. Lying in the dumpster, carelessly wrapped in a now stained white blanket, was a baby girl, about four months old, she was crying and Cat soon realized the horrific truth.
'Someone abandoned her here, oh, the poor kid'.
Almost immediately she made up her mind. She reached in and gently picked up the poor girl, the cries abruptly stopped as the baby stared in astonishment at her rescuer. Cat then took the girl with her and returned home, urgently. Once home she called the police and informed them of what had happened, they announced that they would around quickly. While waiting Cat noticed something as the baby started to cry again.
'The poor girl, she's starving'.
Cat lucky had a bottle and some baby formula from her part time job close to hand, she quickly fixed up a suitable bottle and began to feed the little girl, se was definitely starving and Cat had to be careful she didn't choke as she fed. Three bottles of formula later the little girl seemed satisfied, she still looked scared so Cat gently rocked her slowly until she calmed down and looked ready to fall asleep. Finally she did, just then there was a knock at the door. Still cradling the baby girl Cat answered the door, it was the police, she let them in and they helped her quickly find and set up a crib for the baby, Cat gently set the girl down and then sat down to talk to the police officers.
One of the police officers, she noticed was Tori's father, he smiled and spoke, his partner taking notes.
"Okay Cat, just, tell us what happened".
"I was on my way home, I had been out with my friends, I was walking past the alleyway next to my house when I heard crying. I went to see what was happening and that's when I found her, she was wrapped up in that blanket there, I quickly got a new one, that one, as you can see was filthy".
Mr. Vega nodded.
"Okay, anything else?"
"She was starving so I had to feed her".
"I'm surprised you had something to feed her".
Cat smiled.
"I work part time at the hospital nursery, anyway, I fed her and managed to get her to sleep".
"Okay, here's what we're gonna do, we're gonna try and find out if she has any living relatives, or even a name and then we'll be in touch".
"Okay, is it all right if I take care of her while you do that?"
Mr. Vega nodded and then handed her a sheet of paper.
"It's an official report, also verifies that you have been deemed capable by us to take care of her".
"Thanks".
"Okay, we'll be getting to work immediately, take care".
The police then left, the baby girl woke up crying, Cat quickly hurried through to comfort her, wondering how anyone could be so cruel to just abandon their baby in a dumpster.
Just then the door opened, Cat turned around and saw it was Jade, Jade looked at her surprised.
"Uh, Cat?"
"She's not mine if that's what you're thinking".
"Yeah I know, I was just wondering…?"
Cat smiled and nodded.
"I found her abandoned in a dumpster, in the alleyway next to the house".
Jade glared and shook her head.
"Who the hell leaves a kid in one of those things?"
"I know right, anyway I called the police, they're looking for any living relatives and trying to figure out what happened, until then I'm taking care of her".
"Oh, right, cool, well, if you need any help, just ask".
Cat smiled, she knew that, despite what other people may think, Jade was actually pretty good with babies, Jade had once helped her out at her job and was surprisingly good at it.
"Thanks Jade, now I just gotta figure out how to explain this to my parents".
Jade nodded in agreement and soon both girls were occupied in taking care of the baby girl and figuring out how to tell Cat's parents.
End of chapter, Cat is currently taking care of a baby girl, her name is not yet known, she still however has to explain to her parents about what's going on, no doubt they'll be surprised, finding their daughter with a four month old baby girl in her arms when they get home. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, read and review please.
