Sorry for the late chapter, but enjoy!
Arwenishtar: Don't worry about Kah, I have another plan for him.
The weeks rolled by quickly. When he wasn't teaching, Teddy and Sac were spending time with Ahk, taking him to the mall and the zoo. On several occasions they tried to invite Kah, but the older boy wanted nothing to do with it.
Ahk was concerned for his brother and his anger towards the people who were trying hard to help them. So, he made sure to by a small gift for him so that he didn't feel left out.
Once Teddy gave him a box of chocolate. For once, Kah did not have a smart remark and took the candies gratefully, though no words were said, Teddy could tell from the softer look upon his face that Kah was thankful.
One morning, Teddy and Sac drove to the Orphanage with plans to take Ahk to the mall.
With only 2 weeks till Christmas, the two thought it would be nice to get Ahk and Kah a present and a few candies and treats for the other boys.
But the two were in for a surprise that morning they pulled up and saw a limo sitting in the drive.
Teddy and Sac exchanged glances before getting out and walking up the steps.
Three business like men stood talking to Chelsie. The woman noticed the couple and shot them a worried look.
Once the men were through, they bowed slightly before walking out the door.
"Chelsie, my dear, what's wrong?" Teddy asked noticing the hurt look on Chelsie's face.
Quickly using her sleeve to wipe a tear, she turned to face Teddy. "Those men," She said. "Were lawyers from Egypt. They work for Ahk and Kah's grandfather."
Sac felt her heart break.
"He is one of the richest men in Egypt with several hotels. He has asked to adopt the boys."
Sac felt tears come to her eyes. "Is there anything we can do?" She asked.
"I don't know, he has a right, after all he is their relation. Quite possibly their only."
"But is it for the best? We love Ahk." It was a lame excuse, Teddy knew, but what else could he say?
"And he loves you two. I've never seen him so happy." Chelsie said. "From what I gather, the grandfather has never been close to the boys. A card now and then, but that's it."
Sac frowned as Teddy walked, deep in thought. "Do they want to go?" She asked.
"They don't know yet. The grandfather still has to go through some paperwork, as well as transports and getting his home suitably ready for the boys. It may take awhile."
"So we may have a chance."
The two women turned to Teddy.
"A chance for what?" Chelsie asked.
"A chance to adopt." Teddy said.
"But the lawyers-"
"You said so yourself, the boys hardly know this grandfather. We've gotten to know Ahk very well during these last few weeks and this town is probably the only home he's ever known. And to move him halfway around the world to meet a stranger would hurt him. As for Kah, he's a tough nut to crack, but I'm sure we can help him as well."
Sac nodded in agreement. "Teddy is right, we can help both of them."
"I don't know." Chelsie said.
Teddy frowned as he took Chelsie's hand in his. "Please, we could use your help."
Chelsie sighed before she smiled. "You guys are the most wonderful people and I know both Ahk and Kah will love to be apart of your family."
"So you'll help us?"
"I will certainly try my best."
"Bully! Excellent. My dear?" Teddy asked his wife.
Sac smiled. "Let's adopt."
