Hi, guys. I know that you all hate me. That's okay I hate myself a little bit too. This story has been a roller coaster for me. I have wanted to finish it for a long time but whenever I sit to do just that something stops me. I don't know whether I thinks the story is bad or just I have writers block but whatever it is hope to get over it as I start going over my chapters again. I'm going to be adding and taking out things I think are missing. I feel some of the story moves to fast or isn't realistic. So. Please. Please. PLEASE. Bear with me I really want your input and comments. They always make me happy. If you are new to this story. Hi! Welcome to Adoption where you will cry, laugh, and probably want to kill me. If you have any questions, please ask them. I love answering them. It makes me happy to know you are interested in this story. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

POV Percy

"I am so terribly sorry Mr. and Mrs. Jackson you don't know how much it pains me to have to tell you this. With all the test we have run on the both of you it seems that they all came back with bad news. I am so sorry, but it seems that there is no way you two will have kids on your own."

No one ever thinks it's them. They hear it happening to other people all the time, but you never think it could be happening to you. Annabeth and I are sitting in Doctor Apollo's office getting the worst news we have ever gotten in our lives. We are both in our late twenties almost thirty just wanting to start our family, but it seems the world had other plans.

"Now there are a few other options. We can take your eggs and sperm and put them into a surrogate, or you could adopt. Either way, you will still get a family. It just won't be as traditional as you had hoped or planned."

"Thank you so much Doctor Apollo, my wife and I will have to talk about the situation. We appreciate your help." I said, standing up to shake the hand that was outstretched to me.

"Again, I am so sorry I couldn't help. You two have a wonderful day and please if you need anything contact me." Have a wonderful day my ass.

I nodded, and we left his office. In the lobby, I took Annabeth's hand and squeezed it knowing she probably needed the support just as much and maybe even more than I did. She squeezed it back ten times harder. This was hard on me, but I cannot imagine what it's doing to her.

We get to the car, I put the key in the ignition and start the car. Before I move the car into the drive position I look over at her. Tears are streaming down her face. I take her hand once again squeeze it. I put the car in drive to go home.

We get into the house, neither one of us says a thing I just don't know what to say yet. But before I can even think of something to say she is off to our room. I immediately follow her. When I see her in the middle of the bed hugging a pillow and sobbing that's when the words come out of my mouth.

"Annabeth, there is nothing we could have done," I say.

As I get onto the bed with her I pull her into me and she just sobs. It hurts to see her like this and know I can't help her. I wait till the sobs die down to say anything knowing we both need time to calm down. To be honest I don't know what to say I am upset too. Making a child is one of the many things we could not wait to do when we first got married. We've talked about it since high school and knowing that will never happen just really sucks.

"This is the one thing I should be able to do but I can't Percy. I just wanted to be a mom and have your babies, but I can't, and I can't make you a father." she is crying even harder now.

"I know babe I wanted that for us too. But you know what we can still have a family just not the way we thought. What about our other options did any of those appeal to you?" she was calming down now.

"This is going to sound really strange but if I don't get to carry your child in me then I don't want anyone else carrying it. Even if it's my egg in the mix as well. It just doesn't feel right." I chuckled of cores she would say that she so the jealous type even if she denies it.

"So, I think we should adopt." I was happy she said this.

When I was 13 years old I was adopted into a nice family. They had another little boy of their own but there were problems with the pregnancy and birth, so they couldn't have any more kids. They wanted more though, and they chose me and I'm forever grateful for that.

"You have no idea how happy that makes me," I say and kiss the top of her head. "What age were you thinking?"

"I was kind of thinking teenagers," this surprised me " because I know what you went through and I don't think I could know that those things are happening to other kids. Just because they are older doesn't mean they don't deserve a nice home and someone that loves them. "

I completely agreed I kissed her head again. I just couldn't wait to start a family with her even if it wasn't the way we planned.

TIME SKIP TO A COUPLE WEEKS LATER

"Fostering isn't going to be easy it will probably be one of if not the hardest thing you will ever do. It's taxing on you emotionally getting attached then losing someone as quick as you can in this situation is not something every person can handle. Plus, the type of kid can be taxing as well. You can get anywhere from a well-behaved angel to a no-good rule braking hoodlum. It will take a toll on both of your lives and theirs. Keep that in mind though when you get these kids it will be helpful to understand their situation and them yours."

We were meeting with our adoption lady. She was helping us with the know how on all of this. It was something I was familiar with, so I wasn't to worried. She seemed to think we were incompetent and couldn't do anything. We were adults after all.

"This is actually something I am familiar with being a foster kid myself. I was adopted at 13. Although I'm sure times have changed since I was in the system." I say she just nods.

"Even so you are correct the world has changed. Kids have grown up differently than you did I'm sure. It will be different from what you're expecting. Now just sign here and here and you two will be the new foster parents for three teenagers. You're still alright with three? Three teenagers?" we nodded. There was that you sound out of your mind voice again.

We have more than enough space and money to take care of three kids. Our house was way to big for just the two of us. It would be nice to have someone in the rooms we never use. It was meant for a big family and we intended it to stay that way.

"Perfect," she claps her hands together. "I'll bring them by tomorrow evening."

That was our cue to leave. We said bye and thank you to the annoying lady and made the trip back home. It was so exciting to finally be starting the one thing we have wanted to start as a married couple. A family. It wasn't in the traditional sense of starting a family but who gives a shit I was going to be a dad. Okay, so maybe not right away but still it was close enough for me. I am so ready to start this new crazy adventure with the women I love.

...

Thanks for reading. For this chapter I added somethings that I think made more sense and actually sounded like someone competent wrote it. So please review and let me know.

P.S. I own nothing except the plot!
