I had been visiting the baby everyday since I had brought him in. Tina visited often as well. We felt oddly connected to the child. Maybe it was the fact that his mother had abandonded him in such an awful way. Maybe it was because Tina and I were experiencing empty nest syndrome, even though Summer and Josh hadn’t left yet.

"So, what do you think we should do," I asked wrapping my arms around Tina as we lie in bed early one Sunday morning.

"It’s been two weeks since he’s been admitted to the hospital. Maybe we can take them up on their offer to foster him until they find him a home, or," she said, her voice trailing.

"Or?"

She sighed heavily. I knew what she was sighing about. She broke from my embrace and turned to me. She was conflicted, and I knew what she wanted, she just needed to voice it.

"Come on babe, just tell me."

"Or we could adopt him, pending no arguments from child services or the baby’s family."

I smiled at her. I’ve always known the desires of her heart. She absolutely loves children and had always wanted a big family. I ran my fingers through her hair and she closed her eyes and smiled. She knew she’d gotten what she wanted, I’d never say no to her.

We got up and got dressed and went for some breakfast. Then we were on our way to the hospital. Tina wasn’t due on set that day, she was to be leaving for Canada in a couple days for about two weeks of shooting.

When we got to the hospital, there was a bussle of policemen making a barricade in front of the hospital. We could see a few photographers and even news reporters standing along side the hospital. Tina looked at me with panic. We drove into the underground parking and hurridly walked to the elevator. Where two policemen met us.

"Officer Johns, what’s going on?"

"Tina, I’m surprised no one’s called you. Well, word got out that a famous film maker and excutive producer and her wife found an abandonded child," he said escorting us into the elevator.

"How did this get out?"

"I’m not too sure, maybe a hospital worker. But the mother has been arrested. She turned herself in once word got out about the abandoned infant."
