The Luck Family lived in an apartment right between two great big ones in Paris, France. At the beginning there was only three of them well four counting the cat but I'll get to him later. Felix Luck was a lawyer, a stern, rational, no nonsense man yet devoted, loving, and understanding. His wife Bridgette Luck was one of the loveliest women in Paris, she was kind, sweet, and soft like most women with caring yet fraglie hearts. Their son Daniel was about eight years old at the time where this began, he was cheerful and playful with shiny black locks like his mother and serious gray eyes like his father but they had a hint of mischief and fun.

The last name Luck suited them well not because they were lucky but because they had both good and bad misfortune but it wasn't like everyone else. When one good event happened a bad one would follow and when a bad event took place a good one would make up for it. Their good fortune was Felix and Bridgette's wedding which would lead to a long and happy marriage. Their misfortune Felix lost his job and had to relocate to Paris. After that they found their nice little apartment but to do deal with some rude neighbors and few pests. Then Daniel was born perfectly healthy and happy but when they tried to have another baby Bridgette suffered a miscarriage. But no matter what misfortune they faced they never lost hope because love and family was stronger than any luck.

"Mom, Dad wake up!" Daniel said jumping on their bed one morning. "It's today! It's today!"

"Ugh." Felix groaned. "Son it's 6:00 in the morning. Let a man sleep."

"Come on! You promised me that if I went to bed we'd go the minute I woke up."

"I told you promising him that was a bad idea." Bridgette moaned sleepily.

"He didn't think he would he would remember." Her husband said.

"Come on! Please!"

"Okay, okay, I'm up." Felix and Bridgette tiredly pulled themselves out of bed. "That boy can be too excited sometimes, he gets that from you."

"Yeah but he gets his persistence from you." Bridgette said kissing him on the cheek.

They got dressed and took Daniel to school.

"Now remember I want it to be a boy okay?" Daniel said. "I want a little brother not a sister."

"A boy, we know." Bridgette said. "Have a good day sweetie."

She kissed him goodbye and once he left on the bus for school they went to the local orphanage to adopt a child.

"Well Mr. and Mrs. Luck." The headmistress Nathalie said. "You both seem to be very loving and nurturing parents, perfect for an adopted child but if you don't mind me asking why do you want to adopt?"

"Well Felix and I wanted to have another baby and I did get pregnant but we lost it." Bridgette said.

"Oh I'm sorry."

"Also our boy Daniel really wants a brother."

"Well the children are just down the hall."

The couple went down the hall to the playroom filled with children laughing and playing. There were so many that they weren't sure which one to pick.

"They all seem so sweet Felix."

"I know but we can't adopt all of them we have to pick one."

"I know but which-"

"Um excuse but your sitting a little too close and I can't breathe."

"Oh I'm sorry Felix." Bridgette said.

"Um Bridgette that wasn't me." He said.

"Well I heard someone next to me say it."

"Down here." A voice said.

They looked down to see a tiny boy no bigger than a mouse sitting between them reading a book. He had fluffy blonde hair and green eyes. The couple looked at him in awe. Now you're probably wondering why is that boy so small? Well reader that's the unusual thing I can't explain, one of them that is.

"My goodness." Bridgette said. "Your awfully..."

"Little." Felix finished.

"Yeah but I'm a lot older than I look I'm actually twelve years old but I skipped my growth spurt guess." The boy said.

"Not just the spurt the whole development." Felix mumbled.

"Felix!" Bridgette scolded quietly. "Do you have name?"

"Adrien."

"That's a nice name."

"Thank you. So are you looking for a boy or a girl? Because Rose loves to garden and Nathaniel is a great painter. If you like art and flowers that is."

"We like those very much."

"Good. Because they've been here a long time not as long as me but long."

"How long have you been here?" Felix said.

"Me? I've been here since I was baby, someone just dropped me off. I've been here longer than anyone. I wanna be adopted but well let's just say I'm not the right size that fits the child most parents have in mind."

"Oh...Felix." She said in a hushed tone to her husband. "You don't suppose we could..."

"Bridgette, we can't I mean he's a nice kid but he's so...small."

"Your brother was short."

"Yeah but he wasn't the size of a mouse."

"But look at him. He's so precious."

"Well..." He said watching Adrien try to push a baseball. "Okay he does look cute."

They made their choice right away.

"Are you sure you want Adrien?" Nathalie asked.

"Yes Is there a problem?" Felix said.

"No it's just well..." She sighed. "Mr. and Mrs. Luck, before he was born his birth parents were overwhelmed with excitement and they couldn't wait to raise him but..there were complications which resulted in his mother dying in child birth and when his father so how tiny that baby was he...he just left him here on the doorstep. There was a note with his name and his birthday."

"How awful." Bridgette said.

"His father didn't expect him to live neither did anyone else but by a miracle of God he did. The reason why I'm hesitant about this is because...Adrien will not ever be the size of a normal human. He's four inches tall, he may grow but according to the doctor he'll grow no taller than six inches. And I just don't want him to think he finally found a family that would love him only for them to give him back."

"Size means nothing to us." Bridgette said.

"Alright then just sign the papers."
