"It's Not Just A Piece Of Paper"
Chapter 1- No Simple Answers Or Questions
Josephine Bhaer, was sure of her decision. She loved them and they were already part of the family. Jo had even talked to Rob about it, he seemed ok with it as well. "Dan, Nat, come in here, please." she called from the desk in the parlor.
"Yes, Mrs. Jo." Dan asked as he walked in, Nat following close behind.
"I want to ask you two a question." she replied standing up.
"What is it, Mrs. Jo?" Nat questioned.
"I want to adopt you and Dan." Jo said as a smile spread across Dan's face.
"I- I." Nat stammered. "I need to think about it." he replied walking away from them. Dan was puzzled. He was happy about Mrs. Jo's offer. She was already the mother Dan always wanted and never knew. Plumbfield was his home and he had been sure Nat would feel the same way too.
But, he hadn't.
Instead, he had hurt Mrs. Jo's feelings and Dan knew he wouldn't have without a good reason.

That question was not something, Nat was ready for. It wasn't that Nat didn't want Mrs. Jo to adopt him it was just that, what about his parents? He wasn't like Dan, he remembered his parents. Could he now forgot them and get another?
