This is the start of a new story. I came up with the idea a while ago but just getting a chance to write and post it. I will have another chapter posted in the next day or two.

Prologue

She smiled down at the baby in her arms, she was a spitting image of herself with blue eyes and blonde hair, and then she looked at the boy standing next to the window.

"Do you want to hold her?" she asked.

"What's the point? You are only torturing yourself."

"It will give you some closure. We are doing what is best for her and the family is nice."

"We don't even know her name." as he walked over to the bed.

"Please look at her, hold her. You will see that we are doing what is best for her."

The young boy took the baby from her, he stared at the baby, his daughter.

"Bella, your mom is right. We are doing what is best for you but just so you know we both love you very much and you will never leave our hearts." He whispered.

"She is our daughter, I know that we are not going to be there for all the important things in her life but we will always know that she is happy."

"Maybe one day we will get a chance to know her."

Tears escaped both of their eyes, as he climbed in the bed with her so they could both hold their daughter.

"We wouldn't make good parents at seventeen." He reasoned.

"No, we wouldn't. Plus she is getting an older brother and sister, a real family." She told him.

"This is what is best for all three of us."

They sat there in silence until the women from the adoption agency came to get the baby. They both broke down as she took the baby out of the room.

"This is what is best." He whispered to her over and over again.

The women carried the baby into a private waiting room where the new parents were waiting.

"Mr. and Mrs. Jareau."

Sandy and Mike both stood up, to greet her.

"Ms. Jones." Sandy finally speaking.

"I would like to introduce you to your daughter." As she handed the baby to Sandy.

"Jennifer." Mike looking at Sandy.

"She looks like a Jennifer." Sandy smiling at her daughter.

Mike took his new daughter out of his wife's arms so he could get a better look at her.

"Are the parents okay?" Sandy asked.

"They are both having a hard time with the decision but know that it is best for her." Ms. Jones told them.

"They are so young. Are they still sure they don't want an open adoption?"

"Yes, they both believe that it would be to hard."

Sandy and Mike both shook their heads. They didn't completely understand but respected the young parent's decision.

"When can we take her home?" Mike asked.

"Later today. They are going to do all the normal test and then you need to fill out all the paperwork."

"When does she have to go back to the nursery?" Sandy asked.

"In a couple of minutes, it shouldn't be for just an hour or two."

Sandy nodded her head, as she pulled two letters from her purse.

"Could you please give these two the parents? I promise it doesn't have our names in them, we just wanted them to know how much we appreciate their sacrifice."

"I will. I am going to take Jennifer to the nursery but before I do here is the paper that you need to fill out."

Ms. Jones sat the paperwork down, before taking the baby from Mike.

Ms. Jones took Jennifer to the nursery before going back to the young parent's room. She assisted them in filling out the paper work before giving them the letter.

"The adoptive mother asked that I give these to you. She respected your wishes and there is no information about the family. Read them if you want."

They nodded, both opening the letters when she left the room.

I don't know either of your names, I wish I did, but we respect your wishes. My husband and I wanted to let you know that we will always cherish the beautiful baby that you gave us. We don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl but he or she will know about you and that you were our Angels for putting him or her in our lives. We will cherish every moment we have with her or him. Neither of us could thank you enough for the sacrifice that you made today. You both will always be a part of our family even though it will be from far away. We both hope that this will help you with the process. We hope that you accomplish all of your goals. Again, we know that thank you is not enough.

S & M.

Please let me know what you think of the start.
