I do not own Degrassi.


Adam's POV:

Today is the day the court is sending someone over to evaluate the living situation. If they don't approve I will not be able to adopt Melody. I had to have absolutely everything perfect for their arrival.

It is a Monday morning and the court is coming over this afternoon. I woke up extra early and shook up Eli and Clare; they needed to help me prepare for the arrival. I walked into their bedroom, and what I saw made me squirm. Of course I didn't bother to knock, I just went right in. That was the wrong move.

"Hey guys!" I shouted as I walked into their bedroom. Clare scrambled to cover up her exposed chest, and Eli just threw a pillow at me.

"Dude!" Eli said as he got up and grabbed his boxer shorts.

"I am so sorry!" I said as I tried to un-see what I just saw. Eli was attacking Clare's chest and she was bucking her hips up. They were obviously having sex. It was kind of a crazy time to be having sex though; it is only seven-thirty in the morning for Christ's sake.

As I walked out of Eli and Clare's room I heard them going at it again. I think I just died a little hearing that. I tried to brush it off so I could go see the children. Quietly I walked down the hall and peered open their door. Like normal they were cuddled together in Melody's bed. Devin had his little arm around Melody's waist and melody had her head on Devin's chest. They looked so adorable together.

I walked into the bedroom and I gently woke them up so I could feed them breakfast and take them to school. First to wake up was Devin. He opened his eyes and said,

"Hello Uncle Adam!" I smiled at his enthusiasm. A second after he woke up Melody opened her eyes.

"Hey guys!" She said with full enthusiasm. I was about to talk when she shot out of bed and made a dash for the bathroom. Two minutes later she walked out holding a paper towel sighing in relief. Devin and I chuckled at how open she is about everything. When I say everything I mean everything.

Devin and Melody got up and dressed while I made up breakfast. I made simple toaster waffles and orange juice. When the toaster popped both the children came running out in their clothes and trailing their back packs behind.

"Waffle!" Melody shouted. I chuckled at her excitement and said,

"I know how much you love them." Melody smiled then had a slight frown. I got concerned and said,

"Do you not like them anymore?" She let out a slight sigh and said,

"I had only had waffles once before I came to live with you guys. My mom made them for my birthday last year, and I fell in love with them." She let a tear spill and Devin hugged her.

"I'm sorry Melody; I will make waffles everyday if that is what your little heat desires." She smiled wide and said,

"Thank you!" I smiled and went back into the kitchen area to clean up while they ate. As I was cleaning I heard more noises. I sighed and tried to distract the kids.

I turned on the kitchen radio and the kids bopped their head to the beat. A few minutes later Clare and Eli emerged from the hallway and they sat down at the table. Clare looked up at me and said,

"I'm hungry." I was about to say something when Eli said,

"I'm sure you are, you little tiger." Before the conversation could go any further I said,

"Not in front of the children please guys." Both of them chuckled and Eli said,

"We want waffles too!" He said in a childish voice. Clare giggled at him and I only got more annoyed.

No POV:

Clare and Eli ate breakfast ate the dining room table laughing and joking around while Adam took the kids to school. It took Adam fifteen minutes to drop them off, so Clare and Eli thought this would be the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the large table.

Clare got up from her seat and straddled Eli in his chair. He smirked at her and kissed her along the jaw line to the neck. She clenched the chairs back and moved to pull down Eli's pajama pants. Once they were off she slipped out of her own shorts and they began the process again. Clare was in the middle of riding out an intense orgasm when the front door flew open.

Adam quickly drove the kids to school and went straight home. The time from point A to point B didn't take too long, so he figured he would take the speedy route and cut off a few minutes. Adam pulled into the driveway and emerged to the front door. He put in his keys and twisted. Once he got inside he walked back into the kitchen. Yet again he was looking right into a nightmare.

"Seriously guys!" Adam shouted. Eli and Clare broke apart and they quickly got dressed. Clare left the room and Eli stood there looking at Adam.

"What is wrong with you, man?" Eli said in irritation and confusion. Adam looked at him with a look of "what the hell".

"Today I have the evaluation to see if I can adopt Melody. I need you guys to behave and help me pull this off." Eli's expression softened and he reached out a hand to touch Adam shoulder in a knowing way.

"I am so sorry. Clare and I will get cleaned up and we will be right out to help you with whatever you need." Adam sighed in contentment and said,

"Thanks dude, we need to clean up the house and make Devin and Melody's room presentable." Eli nodded and exited to the bathroom to grab a shower.

Fifteen minutes later:

"Hey Adam, I am really sorry for this morning. I will behave the best I can." Clare said as she approached him and embraced him in a tight hug. He sighed and hugged her back.

"It's okay Clare, can you help me straighten up the kids room please." Clare nodded quickly and they left to go work on the bedroom.

Clare and Adam worked on fixing up the room while Eli picked up the living room and cleaned the kitchen. Adam looked around the room and said,

"They have to sleep in separate beds for now." Clare nodded in agreement. Adam bent down and made up Melody's small trundle bed, while Clare made up Devin's messy spider-man bed.

Clare's POV:

I feel like a horrible person, today was a very important day for Adam and I was too occupied with Eli to even notice. I am such a bad friend. I really hope her forgives me.

I was in the middle of cleaning Devin and Melody's room when my cellphone rang.

Ring, ring. I dug in my pocket and answered it.

"Hello?" I said into the receiver.

"Clare, has the social worked come by yet?" It was my mother on the other line. She was working on the case for Adam.

"No mom, they will be here soon." I said as I continued to pick toy up off from the floor. I threw them in the toy chest and my mom rambled on,

"I am going to come over when they get there, I am the lawyer, and it will look good if I make an appearance."

"That sounds great mom." I said before I hung up the phone so I could get more done.

I cleaned the kid's room with Adam, and I moved onto the hallway and bathrooms. When we were all finished cleaning, I was starved. It was now eleven forty-five and almost time for the social worker to arrive. Adam was obviously nervous. He paced around the living room, and Eli just lounged in the recliner while I waited by the front door.

A few minutes later the doorbell rang and I rushed to open it. Everyone thought it was go be the social worker, and it ended up being my mom. I opened the door and she entered.

"Hello guys." My mom said while she placed her briefcase on the coffee table. Eli smiled at her and my mom said,

"Did you guys straighten up their room? Did you do fill out the paperwork?" Adam sighed and said,

"Yes we did all of that, all we have to do now is wait." So that is what we all did until it was noon.

On the dot the doorbell rang at noon. Adam jumped up from his seat and ran to the door. He straightened up his shirt and proceeded to open up the door.

Adam's POV:

I felt my stomach do leaps as I opened the front door. I knew this was the moment; it was do or dies from here on forward. I knew my chances were good to be able to adopt her, but they weren't one hundred percent yet.

I opened the door, and I saw a woman smiling on the other side. In her hand she held a clip board and a pen. She extended her hand and said,

"Hello, my name is Fiona Coyne, and I will be evaluating you today." I smiled at her. She was so beautiful. I turned away as a blush formed on my cheeks and I shook her hand firmly.

"Hello, I'm Adam. Please come in." I gestured for her to enter the house. She smiled a little and walked into my humble home. Immediately she started walking around and made notes.

The first thing she did was walk into the kitchen. She opened a cupboard and looked inside. She noted what she saw and moved onto the living room. She looked around it and wiped her hand along the coffee table. She ruffled her fingers looking for dust. She smiled when she noticed there wasn't any. I smiled too.

I didn't know if I should follow her, so I did anyways. I kept a few steps back from behind her and she peeked her head into an open room door. It was my room. She opened the room fully and she took notes vigorously. She stood and looked around for a moment until she reached into her bag and pulled out a camera. She snapped a few pictures and then she exited the room.

The next room she entered was Clare and Eli's room. She looked inside and I noticed they finally made their bed for once, and they fixed up the dresser by putting the knocked off things neatly back atop it. It looked clean in there for once. Fiona took another few pictures and she emerged from the room.

The last and final room she went into was the children's room. She peeked her head inside and she smiled at how clean it was. This whole time she was quiet until now. She looked over in my direction and said,

"Is this where Melody is sleeping?" I smiled and said,

"Yes, she shares a room with her best friend; Clare and Eli's son." She noted something and said,

"Well I would like to speak with you for a moment." She left the room and gestured for me to enter the living room with her. She sat on the end of the couch and crossed her legs and placed her notes on her lap. She looked me into the eyes and said,

"I have made my decision. I think…"


A/N: Here is chapter seven. A few private messages and a special review made me update. If I get reviews for this chapter I will most likely update. Of course I left it on a cliffhanger, so you guys will anticipate the next chapter a little more. Did you like that Fiona is in it now? I just had to add her, and it was a request. No Eli POV in this chapter that will be in the next one. Please review if you want an update. Thank you all!
