The Camden house was quiet, which was somewhat weird, when Eric came home that night. He had had a hard day so he was glad for the silence. He found Annie in the kitchen preparing the dinner.
"Where are the kids?" he asked his wife after having kissed her.
"Ruthie and Martin are at the library, they should be there in a few minutes. Lucy and Kevin are looking for a house with the baby and the twins are upstairs." she answered.
When they were all there, Eric told them that he wanted to have a famil meeting after dinner.
After dinner everyone gathered in the living room for the family meeting.
"What is it dad?" Ruthie asked breaking the silence.
"The social services came to see me today. They asked me if we could take a kid with us for awhile." Eric answered.
"A kid?"
"Who is he?"
"Why do they want us to take him?"
Everybody was talking at the same time.
"I don't really know anything, I told the woman of the social services that I had to talk with you before anything. But apparently they don't really know where he comes from or who he is. And from what she told me he is a wild child. They think it would be better to stay with a family until they figure everything out." eric explained. "So what do you think?"
"Of course we are going to take him." Annie exclaimed.
Ruthie, Lucy, Kevin and Martin all agreed.
