1 Adoption

Miranda woke up in cold sweat screaming, her husband Michael hugged his wife trying to conform her.

She had another nightmare about her dead daughter Susan.

She cried on her husband's shoulder

"Mom? Dad? Is everything alright?" Their 16-year-old  daughter Helena asked her parents, behind her was their 23-year-old son also wearing worried expression on his face.

They knew why is their mother crying, both Aaren and Helena also knew that today is day their unborn sister died

Their father suggested to adopt one kid but Miranda wasn't ready yet.

"It's okey kids, go back to sleep"

Aaren was ready to protest but Michael gave him glare, so he shut up.

Both siblings returned to their room and tried go back to sleep.

Next morning Miranda went to her therapist

"You still have nightmares?" Dr. Campbell asked.

Miranda nodded

"Maybe it's better if you adopt some kid, our loved ones shouldn't forgot but we have to continue living"

Miranda thought about husband's words

"I know this is hard for you Miranda, but adopting one of orphan's you could gave love to child who he or she never had before"

Miranda nodded in understanding

"I understand..I'll try" Dr. Campbell smiled "good luck"

Both Michael and were standing outside infront orphanage

"you know, we don't need to do this if you don't want to" Michael said watching his wife's expression.

He knew she was unsure about all this

"I want to gave a try." She said strongly.

Micheal smiled, he knew how stubborn his wife is "alright, let's go inside then"

He took her hand in his as both smiled at etch other.

Kids came running towards two adults, both parents smiled. There were so many children

"Hello are you here to adopt one of those" nun asked, they nodded

"Very well you can chose which or how may you want"

Miranda nodded while Michael decided to look around, when all of sudden he spotted boy in the room all alone reading book of agriculture

"Hello sir" boy greeted him, Micheal smiled and walked towards boy

"Hi, what's your name boy?" He asked.

Boy put book down, he had dark brown hair tied in bun, his green eyes reminded him of him and Helena.

"Bentley" boy simply answered 

Micheal sat next to Bentley "you love agriculture?" He asked, Bentley nodded "it's nice" he answered just then Miranda walked inside room

"Hey did you decided which we are going to adopt?"

Micheal nodded and looked at Bentley "I think Aaren and Helena won't mind having another brother"

Miranda looked ta boy, she saw why he wanded to adopt him, his eyes were just like Helena's

"Sure why not, how old are sweetheart?"

"16" he replayed

Miranda smiled

"Just like our daughter" nun came in the room "so did you decided yet?"

Both parents nodded "yes"

Nun saw Bentley and nodded

"You just must sign the papers."

With that both parents followed the nun, not realizing they made huge mistake
