The Team had been working at an Orphanage all day. They were leaving when they heard kids playing. There was one kid all alone on one side o the room. He had tight raven black curls and brown eyes. He looked like Mrs. & Dr. Curtis's child but certainly was not, he just looked a lot like like the both of them. He was reading a book that was obviously above a two year olds skill level and most two year olds don't read. Intrigued Happy walked in and stood in the doorway watching him. "Why is he alone?" Paige asked concerned. " The kids don't want him around and he knows that, so he keeps his distance whenever possible." The lady at the desk answered.
Nobody liked hearing that and they all felt for him. Toby walked up and whispered to Happy what the lady had said to the rest of the team.
What the team had not known was that a few days before Happy's doctor told Happy and Toby that they were expecting a baby. Happy was about two weeks pregnant and they were thinking of a way to tell the team that Toby had succeeded in knocking up his wife. They had been trying since a little after the deer case. They had decided to try for a kid for a few months and finally it happened.
Happy turned to Toby and asked about more about what he knew about the boy. She asked her husband to profile and analyze him. Toby told her everything he could about the boy. Happy felt so bad for him. Happy walked up and sat on the ground next to him. He winced at her presence. "What's your name?" she asked quietly. "Ezra" he mumbled. "Hi Ezra, my names Happy" She replied. Ezra giggled. "Yeah I know, it's funny". Toby saw how she already liked Erza. He walked over to them. "I'm Tobias" he told Ezra. Ezra smiled. Happy then stood up next to Toby pulling him aside.
"He's smart Toby. Like he's reading that book out loud. It hurts to see him stay here. Toby he reminds me of how I was at this age." Happy whispered. Pleading for him to understand. "Happy, do you want to take him home? I can tell you feel a connection. You wanna save him from the system. Happy thats Ok." Toby reasoned. Happy smiled "Please?" She spoke quietly. Toby nodded. The team watched as they spoke. Toby and Happy walked up to the Lady at the desk and told the team they would meet them at the garage later. The asked the lady about Ezra and if they could get to know and possibly adopt him. They made an appointment to
Formally meet Ezra for the next day at noon.
They got back to the garage and shared everything they now knew about Ezra and that they wanted to adopt him. Paige told them it was the right thing to do and she was proud of them.
