Munich, Germany

After Jennifer and Jonathan had gotten married in the hospital room with Simone and Peter and They'd decided to walk back to their hotel, it was such a beautiful day that Jennifer didn't want be cooped up in a cab, she wanted to soak up as much as she could of Germany before they departed for the 13 hour flight back to Los Angeles.

They walked quietly down the street before Jonathan stopped her, "Are you alright, you haven't said a word since we left the hospital,"

Jennifer bit her lip, "I'm sorry, I'm just thinking," holding his hand

"About what?" He guided her to a bench and faced her.

"We've had such a wonderful time in Germany with little Max, that it makes me wonder if we missed out on having a child of our own," She said quietly, she felt almost afraid.

"Darling, we agreed a long time ago that we didn't want children, that we were more than content with just us and Big Max," He said, it had been crushing to him when she'd confided to him that she didn't want the responsibility, that her career and their relationship were so much more important to her than a child.

"I know what I said," She said, into her hands more than at him, "but that was so long ago, I think I've changed my mind, I want us to have a child,"

He sat back and let her words sink in, he was pushing nearly 50 and she was only a five years younger, it would be nearly impossible for them to start trying now and he didn't want to be in his 70s still raising a child. "Darling, I think this is something we need to discuss, we can't just jump into having a child," Jonathan pulled her into his chest

"I know but I'm not getting any younger and I wasn't thinking about having a baby baby , I was thinking we could adopt Max," She said leaning her head on him.

"Unfortunately, Darling, Simone and Peter have already decided to adopt him but what if we see if there's another child that we could possibly look into adoption," He'd do anything to make her happy even at the cost of his own happiness.

Sensing his Hesitation, she sat forward, "You are doing this for me, this is for both of us,"

"I just don't want you to be disappointed if this doesn't work out for us," There was nothing she could ask of him that he wouldn't do but at their ages and the fact they were thousands of miles from home, there were a number of factors that could work against them.

Jennifer took a deep breath, "I know and I probably will be but we should try, we've been so lonely since Max died and I know that he is irreplaceable, but it feels like something or someone is missing. "

He didn't want to admit it, but she was right, the house seemed so big with just the two of them and he often thought sometimes, that they should just move to the beach, they spent every weekend there and the smaller house was more suited for them.

Jonathan nodded, "We'll call our Lawyers and see if they can get the ball rolling,"

Jennifer nodded and leaned back against him, watching the people pass by.

DAYS LATER

Jonathan had indeed called their lawyers to inquire about the adoption of a child in Germany and their lawyers, after much researched told them it would be months before they could clear up the red tape and even then, there could still be legal problems trying to bring a child into the United States, they would need to find relatives to sign off and obtain a passport for the child.

Their lawyers felt it would be in their best interest to go home and wait, that they'd done as much as they could in Munich and that when the Lawyers knew something, they would call.

Jennifer was disappointed but she understood, these things didn't happen overnight and when the perfect child was found, they would be chosen. Jonathan arranged for their plane to be gassed up and ready to go home. She packed their clothes and while Jonathan finished showering, she sat on the edge of the bed thinking for a minute.

She got up from the bed and taking her clothes off, she opened the shower door, "Hi Sailor,"

"Hi," Jonathan smiled at her, "I hope you brought extra soap"

"I was hoping we could share," Although the water was hot, she was suddenly freezing, pulling her forward, he hugged her.

"Are you okay with leaving," He said

kissing his shoulder, "I am, I think everything happens for a reason and if it doesn't happen, then we'll still be okay," she put her arms around his waist. "Thank you, though"

"For what?" he kissed her

"Loving me enough to go along with my ideas," she giggled when he reached behind her and grabbed her behind.

"I'll never stop going along with your crazy ideas, if you go along with a few of mine," He pushed her against the wall and kissed her, he was making her crazy and she loved it.

Just before they could make love, the phone rang.

"Let it go to voicemail," Jonathan said kissing her.

She was desperate to continue but something was telling her to pick up the phone, "I'll be right back," Jennifer slipped out of the shower, grabbed a towel and ran to the phone.

Breathlessly, she answered, eager to get back in the shower, "Hello?"

"Mrs. Hart, This David Gallagher From the Law Firm of Coelho, Shepard and Monte, Mr. Hart recently contacted us about the possible adoption of a child," the voice said

"Yes?" She sat on the edge of the bed, her chest suddenly feeling tight, Jonathan could hear the rise in her voice and grabbing a towel, rushed into the bedroom of their hotel, her face was flushed.

"Are you okay?" He asked quietly, a minute ago she was melting in his arms, now she had a look of someone who was about to faint.

Nodding, and gesturing him forward to listen in, he sat beside her as the lawyer explained that there were twin little girls that were in need of adoption but they needed to be picked up immediately otherwise they'd be sent to live in another country with another couple. Could they come immediately to the office immediately?

Without Hesitation, Jennifer yelped, "YES!", Jonathan gave her a worried look, they should have discussed it before she agreed, he understood that she was excited but this wasn't something that should be rushed into.

"Darling, Darling," He said quietly but she wasn't paying attention, she agreed that they would meet at the lawyer's in an hour. She hung up the phone.

"I can't believe this is happening," She was so excited, "Twin little girls, there's so much to think about, and what we'll need for them. ,"

"Sweetheart," he tried again

"Oh Do you think we should get them presents when we first meet them?" She asked rushing around to get dressed, "Oh, Jonathan, thank you for making this happen!"

"Jennifer!" He finally had to yell her name to get her attention, she jumped before she stopped and looked at him. "Can we stop for one second?"

"Jonathan, we have to hurry, what if we get there and someone else wants them?" She stopped buttoning up her skirt

"Darling, these are children, not expensive candlesticks, we need to discuss if this is the right situation for us," He held his arm out for her to come forward.

"But isn't this what we wanted?" She said sitting in his lap.

"Yes, but I don't want you to get excited if this wasn't the right situation," He said kissing her neck.

Freeway, who'd been sleeping since his adventure in Munich suddenly popped up on the bed and crawled in between them, Jennifer rubbed his furry little head and asked him, "Are you ready for two sisters?"

As if he were answering her, Freeway barked.

"I guess that's a yes," Jonathan laughed.
