Sooo… I'm home! For Zevie Day! I am eternally grateful to my doctor who let me come home today. Her daughter loves Zevie too.

Sooo… this is a random story I came up with as I was at the adoption center last week.

Apparently this will be my only post today. Uggh. Maybe I'll add another chapter though…

July 21st, 2000

It was July 21st, and Stevie Baskara was at the adoption center with her parents. She was getting a little brother. (Just imagine that one of her brother's are adopted)

As her parents signed in, she wandered outside to the garden. (I'm picturing my orphanage) Sitting on a bench right in front of a bunch of yellow roses was a boy her age (4), with curly brown hair and overalls. (Oh. My. God. That is a weird picture)

"Hi. I'm Stevie." she said as she sat down next to the boy. He was crying silently.

"What's wrong?"

"My parents are getting me a baby sister. I won't be an only child anymore!"

Stevie sighed and put her arm around the boy next to her. "I have 3 other brothers and I'm getting another one. It's all right, 'cause now you'll have someone to play with! And when they grow older, they'll look up to you."

The boy looked at her in wonder. "How do you know so much about that?"

"My parents gave me a talk on the way here. I was like you, too. I've been the youngest all my life, but now I'll have someone younger to play with! And I won't be excluded anymore." Stevie told him, smiling, squeezing the boy's shoulder with her left hand.

"But… I liked playing by myself. I'm afraid that she might break my toys or my instruments."

Stevie wasn't one to lie. "Oh, she will." When she saw that that didn't help his situation, she hurriedly added. "But it'll be all right."

The boy dried his tears and held out his hand. "I'm Zander."

"Well, that was fast." Stevie thought to herself.

"I'm Stevie, as I said, age 4, and I go to Ridgewood Elementary School."

"Me too!"

As Zander put his arm around Stevie too, and smiled at her, the two kids who were- somehow- in the same situation became friends. And a beautiful friendship was formed.

This'll be a multi chapter. It's gonna go along the lines of every July 21st since Zander and Stevie met (this chapter) to the present day.

Hope you liked it!
