A/N - The story was cowritten with Eric-Delko's-little-girl-4-eva.

"We have two little ones over here in this room that just came in," the lady at the adoption agency said.

The man she was talking to nodded and followed her. He was looking forward to getting a child.

"There parents were having a night out by themselves and got killed in a terrible car crash on the way home. They don't have any other family they can stay with."

"The older one never wants to leave her sister alone. It's so cute."

She led the man into a room full of kids. There was a lady in one corner holding an infant, only about a couple months old, and a 1 1/2 old girl standing next to them.

"There they are over there," the lady told him.

He walked over.

"Hi. What's your name?"

The one year old girl just stared at him bewildered.

"Her name is Jennifer and this is her little sister Christina. Poor thing will never know her parents, and this is her."

"You've seen a lot of kids today. Have you decided which ones you would like to adopt?"

"Yes. I would like to adopt these two," he responded gently.

"Ok. I'll go get the paper work."

She left leaving the man to get to know the two kids.

"I hear this is your sister," he stated to the older child who cowered behind the lady holding Christina.

He smiled.

The older child nodded.

"She is really smart for her age," the lady holding the infant replied. "She's shy though."

"May I?" the man asked motioning to hold the youngest.

The lady carefully handed the baby over to him.

Jennifer started to whimper and tear up.

"He's going to adopt both of you," the lady comforted.

She calmed down and smiled.

By the end of the day, he was able to take them home and let them sleep there for the first time.
