They had been home from their honeymoon for over a month now and Lucien was busier than ever. Jean on the other hand was being driven mad by boredom. All the borders had long since moved on, that being said Jean had no one but Lucien to mother. Finally home one evening over dinner Lucien had decided to tackle this very subject.
"Jean you don't have to stay home feel free to do what ever you like".
"I'm sorry Lucien was her only reply".
"Is there something you want or something I could do", exclaimed Lucien.
At that Jean and Lucien let the subject drop. He was hoping something would present its self, but his hopes were not high.
Another month had gone bye with no change in her life. Jean began to withdrawal and was not living much at all. Lucien's heart was just broke watching and knowing she was so sad. So he called Matthew for some advice hoping he might have something to add.
" Lucien, Jean has always be a nurturing lass. Jean needs someone or something to take care off like she always had", said Matthew. Then Alice replied, " Have you ever thought to adopt, your not too old either of you to love a child that needs a home". Lucien answered that he wouldn't mind, but the decision would be his wife's.
Now he wasn't sure how she would react but he knew something had to be done. While sitting one evening enjoying their drinks he decided to broach the subject.
Jean, my darling I know you have been sad, but as she started to deny the fact he held up his hand for her to stop. I have been wondering what we could do to remedy that fact. Now I have talked to Matthew and Alice and they think maybe we should adopt. I know we have never discussed children and I know I wouldn't mind. But the decision is totally up to you. He sat there in silence as Jean started to cry. He rushed to her side and asked what was wrong, but she gave no reply.
