So I've had this idea for a while now, what if the Cohen's had another son when Ryan came into their lives. How would that work out?

Kristen Cohen walked into the Alameda County Public Defenders' office in Berkeley, CA. She had her one year old son, Seth, with her. She was getting a lot of attention as Seth was a very cut baby with his fat face and mop of curly brown hair. Kristen was in a hurry as she hadn't seen her husband Sandy that much lately. As a public defender he had worked long hours with little pay, but he loved it and Kristen loved him. Sandy was the complete opposite of Kristen a hang lose liberal compared to the uptight conservative of Kristen. He loved fighting for the little guy and loved giving her father a hard time. Her father was the complete opposite of Sandy and was a construction group in Newport Beach, CA. He was shocked to hear his daughter was dating a dirty hippy and even more shocked when he learned they were getting married but there was nothing he could do about it.

After a quick hello to Sandy, he was really very busy this week, Kristen and Seth headed home. Suddenly Kristen heard yelling and turned around to see a woman her age yelling at a baby Seth's age. The woman was not well dressed and one could smell alcohol on her breath.

"Stupid kid, always crying what the hell is the matter with you," the woman yelled

"Hey what are you doing?" Kristen demanded to know

"Lady mind your own business, and let me deal with my kid," the woman said

"Cause you're doing such a great job," Kristen replied

"Fine you think you can do better you take him," the woman said as she handed the kid to Kristen and took off.

Kristen was stunned; this was not what she was expecting when she woke up this morning. Now she had another kid to deal with? Could she handle him? Still part of her was glad this kid was with her and not with his abusive mother. Kristen got a cab to take her home and when she arrived and put Seth down she was able to take a good look at the kid. He had black hair and was slightly taller than Seth. He was a very cute baby as well, even cuter than Seth Kristen thought. She put the kid in Seth's play pen and there was an instant bond between the two of them, Kristen was happy to see that.

When Sandy came home he gave Kristen a kiss and picked up Seth from his play pen. As he was playing with Seth he noticed the kid in the play pen, the kid started to cry seeing Seth was gone so Kristen picked him up.

"Is this one of Seth's friends?" Sandy asked

"Not exactly," Kristen replied

"What do you mean not exactly?" Sandy asked

"Well I saw this woman on the street yelling at her kid and when I told her to stop she gave me the kid and just left." Kristen said

"Well we will call Child Protective Services in the morning," Sandy said

"Sandy I was thinking we could keep him," Kristen said

"Honey I don't think we could handle two kids, it would be too much work, besides he already had a mom and dad." Sandy said

"Not good ones," Kristen replied and she held the kid even tighter.

Sandy signed as he did not know what to do, then the kid decided to make the decision.

He looked up at Kristen and said one word:

Mama

A big smile appeared on Kristen's face and she kissed him on top of his head. Sandy knew there

was no winning now, the kid was here to stay.

"Alright I'll call some lawyers I know who work in Family Law and we'll draw up the papers to

adopt the kid. We'll need the signature of the mother and father but they hopefully won't be too hard to track down." Sandy said

Kristen gave her husband a big kiss and Sandy knew he was getting lucky tonight.

"So we need a name for him then," Sandy said

"How bout Mike?" Kristen said

"Mike it is, Mike Cohen," Sandy replied
