I'm pretty sure you guys will enjoy this chapter. Personally, I still like the 3rd chapter the best.

This is probably the only one-shot in this series that will involve my OC, the kid they adopt. Hope you like it!

February 7

It was a beautiful Saturday morning. Today was the day.

A few weeks ago, Cameron and Mitchell decided that they were ready to adopt another kid. After the last time, when they got turned down in the end (season 3, episode 24), they gave up for a while. But, they decided they were going to try one last time.

Mitchell picked up his cell phone and dialed the Dunphys.

Haley: "Hello?"

Mitch: "Hi, Haley? It's Uncle Mitch."

H: "Oh, hi! Sorry, my mom's out at the grocery store, and my dad is, I think, fixing some step on the stairs or something...But you can call my mom on her cell if you want."

M: "Oh, no, that's okay. Actually, it's you I wanted to ask you something."

H: "Oh, me? Sure, what's up?"

M: "Well, you know a couple weeks ago when you texted Cam and asked if we needed a babysitter for Lily?"

H: "Yeah?"

M: "Well I was wondering, if you weren't busy and wanted to, if you could look after her today? Cam and I have to run an errand. If you can't that's fine, we can always ask Jay and Gloria, but I just figured I would call you first, since you wanted to last time."

Haley was actually sitting on the couch, bored once again.

H: "No, I would love to watch over Lily! So what time should I pick her up?"

M: "Thanks! Actually, we can drop her off on our way. Is 1 okay?"

H: "Sure! Okay, see you guys then!"

M: "Thank you so much! Bye."

Meanwhile...

Mitchell walked out of the kitchen and joined Lily in the living room. "Lily," he said, sitting on the couch, "We have some big news." Lily looked up from petting the cat. "We're getting Larry a sister?" Just then. Cam walked into the room.

"Well, not Larry a sister..."

Cam spoke up as he sat on the couch next to his husband, "Lily, Sweetie, we're adopting another kid, so you're going to have a sister!" Lily gasped and jumped up. She was excited about this. Larry ran off.

At the Dunphy house

Claire walked in the house, her hands full of grocery bags. "Hey Mom," Haley said, following Claire into the kitchen.

"Hi, Sweetie."

"Hey, Uncle Mitchell just called, and they are dropping off Lily at 1. They have some errands to run, or something."

"Okay, great," responded Claire.

It came one o'clock, and the doorbell rang. Claire went to answer it, and found Cam and Lily standing there. "Hi Lily!" said Claire.

"Thanks for watching her today. Mitchell and I have to pick up...something to bring to Jay's tonight."

"No problem! Lily's always welcome over," said a kind Claire.

Cam smiled. "Thank you. Bye Lily! Daddy will see you a little bit later!" He then gave his daughter a hug and a kiss on the head.

"Bye Daddy."

Meanwhile, at the adoption center...

"Hi! We called about adopting Margaret," said Mitch.

"Oh, you must be Mitchell and Cameron. I'm Sandra." The desk lady stood up and shook their hands. "One moment, while I go see if she's ready."

"Okay, thank you!"

"I can't believe this is actually happening!" Said Cam.

About 5 minutes later, Sandra came back. With a smile, she said, "Thank you for waiting. Margaret will be right down."

Another few minutes later, a young teenage girl came downstairs, pulling a suitcase behind her.

She was pretty shy, but she looked up and smiled.

"Hi! You must be Margaret. I'm Mitchell, and this is your other dad, Cam."

Cam smiled. "Hey, Sweetie!"

Cam and Mitchell signed some stuff, and soon they were driving home.

"So, Margaret, how old are you?" asked Mitchell.

"I'm 13."

"Oh, cool."

"So, you guys are both my dads?" Margaret asked.

"Yep."

"Oh that's cool. Do I have any brothers or sisters?"

Cam then responded, "Actually, yes, you have a little sister named Lily."

"Awesome! So am I going to meet the rest of my new family?"

"Actually, we're going to my dad's house tonight, and everyone will be there," said Mitch.

"Oh, nice!"

15 minutes later, they arrived at Jay and Gloria's house.

As the three of them walked up to the door, Mitch stopped an said, "Wait...How are we going to tell everybody?"

Cam thought for a second, and then chuckled. "It's not like we can recreate the Lion King scene (season 1, first episode)...Or can we-"

Mitchell slapped his forehead. "We can't!"

Margaret was confused. "What Lion King scene?"

Mitch sighed. "N-nevermind. Let's just...go."

He rang the doorbell and soon Jay answered. "Hey guys! Cam, Mitch, Li- Oh, Lily, you've grown up!"

"Actually Dad, Haley and them are bring Lily over. We had to run an errand. And, also..." Mitchell took a deep breath, "We adopted another child today. Her name is Margaret." Jay was happy to hear this. "That's great news! Hi Margaret I'm Jay, your grandpa."

Once inside, Margaret met Gloria, Manny, and even Joe.

Probably 10 minutes later, the Dunphys and Lily arrived.

"Hey! NOW you're here, Lily," Jay said with a chuckle.

The Dunphys were confused.

"Hey Phil, Claire, kids."

"Hi Grandpa!"

Lily ran to the kitchen.

"Daddies!"

Mitchell turned around. "Hi Lily!" They hugged their daughter.

"Lily," Cam said, "There's someone here for you to meet." He smiled and went over to Margaret.

"This is your new big sister, Margaret."

"Hi Lily," Margaret smiled.

Lily hugged her new sister.

"Haha, nice to meet you too."

Just then, Luke walked into the kitchen.

"Hey Uncle Cam, Uncle Mitchell."

"Hi Luke."

Then, Luke noticed Margaret. "Hey there gorgeous...I'm Luke." He held out his hand.

"Luke, her name's Margaret, and we adopted her today...She's your new cousin," informed Mitch.

Lukee froze and pointed the other direction. "And I will be out there..."

Margaret was in shock. "So that was my cousin...And he tried to flirt with me?"

"Pretty much," chuckled Cam.

When dinner was ready, the family talked, laughed, and had a really good time. Everyone was so happy that Margaret was now a part of their family, and she felt like she was fitting in already.
