Disclaimer: I own Hope and that's all so far
Trudy hummed to herself as she got dinner ready. She had made Adrian's favorite meal. She hoped he was in a good mood. She had something she really wanted to talk with him about. He would have to be in a good mood to consider saying yes
For the past 5 weeks Trudy had been doing volunteer work in the orphanage. She loved it. Today they had brought in a 2-day old baby girl named Hope. That baby was placed into Trudy's arms and she knew 3 things. 1) She loved that baby girl 2) She HAD to be that child's mother and 3) Adrian would be none too happy about the idea.
He would come up with 20 million reasons why it was a bad idea.
"I can't change who I am," she could hear him say
"Nobody says you should," she would respond
"The baby needs 2 parents," he would argue, "what if something happens to me"
"Something could happen to anyone at any time," she would say
Would he get mad? Probably not, she decided, it just wasn't his style.
"What if we don't agree on everything," she could hear him asking
"I don't think there's any two people who ever do agree on EVERYTHING"
She always said that when he worried about that.
She looked at her watch. It was 7 o'clock. Adrian would be home in 15 minutes. She set the table and got everything ready. Just then Adrian came in
"Trudy this is beautiful," he said
"I made your favorite"
He kissed her.
"Adrian," she said, "there's something I want to talk to you about"
"I'm all ears"
