The second chapter is finally out! Sorry it took so long but I had to do a lot of editing on it. God's My Best Friend helped me so I thank her a lot . Also I think I'm going to try and write the story that xbeax-sshgfan suggested. If you want to know what it was then just the check the reviews for my first story. I also have an IMPORTANT(that's so that people will notice this and won't skip it)note to make. If you want me to post a new chapter then review and I will. All it will take is one review I promise.

The next day Erik and Raoul left for the orphanage. Erik of course wore one of his black cloaks with the hood pulled up.

They made quite the odd pair to the people on the streets and to the people at the orphanage.

Raoul by himself wasn't an odd thing. A beautiful, sweet, and very polite twenty-eight year old man with golden hair and eyes to match wasn't that strange.

It was the man he was with that made him seem strange.

A man dressed nearly all in black expect for his copper vest and white undershirt with a hood pulled over his face and black leather gloves on his hands. He was equally polite however with a voice like an angel.

The owner of the orphanage Mrs. Burr looked curiously at them both when she came to see them. "So monsieur's I heard that you're looking for a baby?" She said as she led them to the nursery.

"Yes," Raoul said.

"Does the gender matter to you?" Mrs. Burr asked.

"No," Erik said and Raoul nodded.

"Well then," Mrs. Burr said once they had reached the nursery, "just look around the nursery and see if you can find the child you're looking for." She opened the nursery door and gave them a smile. "Good luck," She said.

"Thank you," Erik nodded at her with a smile that she couldn't see. Raoul nodded with a smile of his own before following Erik into the nursery.

The nursery was a brightly colored room filled with children from toddler ages to ten playing with toys under the watchful supervision of the orphanage staff.

It made Erik nervous.

"What do we do?" He asked Raoul.

"Just go up and talk them I guess," Raoul replied. He looked around the room. "Who do you want to go and talk to?" He asked.

Erik looked around the room as well. None of the children really caught his interest until he noticed a certain child who seemed different from the rest.

It was a little girl who couldn't be more the three years old and she wasn't playing with the rest of the children. Instead, she was sitting off in the corner with her legs pulled up to her chest her little arms wrapped tightly around them. Her chin was resting on her knees and she was watching the other children with wary nervous eyes.

Erik instantly felt a connection to the girl remembering when he was a child how he had watched the other children through the bars of his cage wondering why he couldn't be like them.

"Let's go to talk to that one," He said pointing at the girl. Raoul looked to where he was pointing and smiled understandingly.

"I agree," He said. They walked over to the girl who looked up at them when they reached her.

Erik and Raoul were both struck dumb by her when they saw her.

The girl's eyes were a deep indigo that one could get lost in and they were framed by long curling thick black lashes. Her hair was a long lustrous black that curled down to her shoulder blades with the top part held back by an indigo ribbon as deep as her eyes. Her skin was flawless and as white as porcelain, which made her little full red lips stand out.

"Hello there," Raoul said crouching down in front of her. The girl's grip tightened around her legs.

"Who are you?" She asked eyeing Raoul warily. Her voice was like music and was as beautiful as she was.

"I'm Raoul," Raoul said, "and this is Erik my…" He trailed off trying to think of how to explain what Erik was without making the child confused.

"His husband," Erik said crouching down by Raoul's side. The girl's eyes widened in understanding.

"Oh OK," She smiled. Suddenly her face fell. "Wait," She said, "why are you here? Did I do something naughty?"

"Naughty?" Raoul asked. The girl looked down at her knees guiltily.

"I'm always getting in trouble," She said. "Mostly because of the music." This rose Erik and Raoul's interest instantly.

"What about the music?" Erik asked.

"I like it too much," The girl said.

"What's wrong with that?" Erik said. "I like music a lot too." The girl looked up at him surprised.

"You do?" She asked.

"Yes," Erik said. "We both do." Raoul nodded in agreement. A huge smile broke out onto the girl's face at this and Erik and Raoul smiled back at her happy to have cheered her up.

"So your not here because I've been naughty?" The girl asked.

"No of course not," Raoul said. The girl cheered making Erik and Raoul laugh. "May I ask you something?" Raoul asked the girl.

"OK," The girl said.

"What's your name?" Raoul asked.

"My name's Angel," The girl said.

"That's a very pretty name," Erik said.

"Thank you," Angel said with a shy smile. "Can I ask you something too?" She asked. Raoul and Erik nodded and Angel asked, "If your not here because I've been naughty why are you here?"

"Well," Erik said, "we were thinking about adopting you." Angel looked stunned but shock quickly faded away into hopefulness.

"Really?" She said.

"Yes," Raoul said, "and I want to but Erik has to agree to." Raoul and Angel looked over at Erik and Angel's eyes were nervous.

"Do you want to too?" Angel asked.

"Of course I do," Erik smiled. "I can't think of anyone I'd rather adopt." Angel beamed at him before jumping at him hugging him tightly.

"Thank you!" She said. Erik hugged her back just as tightly.

"You're very, very welcome," He said.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Your not so obient servant,
