"Boy or girl, this shouldn't be this hard," Sophie commented. She was riding with Peter to the adoption agency where they were going to look over possible children for the couple.

"It doesn't matter to me, whatever you want is fine," Peter responded, as he merged into a lane of traffic.

"We might have to resort to coin flipping," she announced.

"Boy," Peter said.

"Why do say that?" Sophie asked.

"He'll be able to watch over all our little girls," Peter said with a grin.

"Who said anything about another one, let alone more than that?" she demanded.

"I'm just saying," Peter said, "a boy is a good start. He'll be more sturdy if I drop him."

"I'm going to pretend I didn't here that, but I guess a boy is fine with me too," Sophie answered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back at Horizon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Adrienne was sitting alone in the nurse's office. Will had gone of to check on one of the Ridgerunners. She noticed a phone sitting on a small desk in the corner of the office. She picked it up and dialed Case's number.

"Hello," a female voice answered.

"Is Case there?" Adrienne asked.

"Uh, who is this?" the voice asked.

"Adrienne," she replied.

"Do you know who this is?" the voice asked.

Adrienne thought for a moment. Who would be at Case's house? Then it hit her; she was speaking to Rachel Brown. Rachel had turned Adrienne's life upside down, and she still had the nerve to speak to Adrienne.

"Adrienne, are you still there?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah, Rachel, I'm still mad at you," Adrienne said.

"Why? All I did was help you," Rachel responded.

"Help me? You call running your mouth to my dad help?" Adrienne asked.

"I could have called the police. At least this way Mr. Della stays out of trouble," Rachel explained.

"Nothing ever happen between Mr. Della and me," Adrienne yelled in to the phone.

"I saw you. I saw after the fall play; you kissed him. You are really screwed up Adrienne. Why don't you get that teachers shouldn't be having relationships with students?" Rachel asked.

"You just don't understand love; I have loved Kurt since the first time we met," Adrienne replied.

"The first time you met, was that in his history class?" Rachel questioned.

"No, now shut up and let me talk to Case," Adrienne told her.

"You want to know why Case is the only one who still talks to you," Rachel asked. She didn't wait for a reply and continued, "because he is the only one who doesn't know how screwed up you really are! Haley, Sarah, and Mandie hate you, that's why they stopped talking to you, not because I told them to!"

"Rachel, you're the worst friend in the world Haley, Sarah, and Mandie deserve you!" Adrienne screamed, and she hung up the phone. She was done with Rachel Brown for good, to bad she hadn't gotten a chance to speak with Case.

Adrienne flopped down on the floor, and she pulled her knees up to her chest. There was too much that had happen that no one had known about. Mr. Della was the best lover Adrienne had ever had, but she wasn't in it for the sex or even for the love. He was her safe guard as long as he was here no one would find out about IT.

Will reentered the office and called out, "Adrienne?"

She didn't say anything; she waited for him to find her. He bent down by her side and asked, "Are you all right?"

"Maybe," she answered.

"What is maybe supposed to mean?" Will asked.

"It means this," Adrienne said as she leaned forward kissing Will on the cheek. She sat for a moment waiting for it to happen, but it didn't, nothing did.

Will stood up. "I'm going to have to tell Peter this happened," he told her. "Good he'll just ask you how it was," Adrienne responded.

Will didn't say anything, he was in shock. He could believe the head of the school was having an affair with a student.

Adrienne waved to him and left. Will didn't stop even though she was supposed to stay with him all day. He wouldn't feel comfortable with her around. He had to think, who could he tell? He hadn't met all the counselors, but he decided he would tell a counselor, they would know what to do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the adoption agency ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We have several boys ready placement," Mrs. Johnson explained, "there is a three month old, a six month old, and a two day old."

"Which do you think would be better for us?" Sophie asked.

"They're all fine children, it would depend on several things, like how soon you wanted to get back to work," Mrs. Johnson said.

"I'd like to only be away for a few months at the most," Sophie stated.

"To bad you want a boy," Mrs. Johnson said quietly.

"Why is that?" Peter asked.

"Oh, did I say that? I didn't mean to, it just that a foster family just returned thirteen-month-old twin girls today. We are scrambling to find them an other foster home," Mrs. Johnson told them.

"We didn't really have are heart set on a boy," Sophie said.

"Would you like to see them?" Mrs. Johnson asked.

"Do you have a picture?" Peter asked.

"No, they're here," Mrs. Johnson explained.

"I'd love to see them," Sophie replied.

"Right this way then," Mrs. Johnson said.

Peter and Sophie followed her into a room; there were several desks, another woman, and two little girls playing on the floor. One of the girls crawled over to them with a smile on her face.

"This Leah," Mrs. Johnson told them," and hiding over in the over by the wall is Ivy."

"Hi, Leah," Sophie said.

Leah's smile got bigger and she said, "bally."

"You want to play with your ball?" Peter asked.

Leah just smiled and picked up her ball.

"They are so cute," Sophie said. "Peter, what do you think?" she asked.

"I think we might have to take back the crib and but two beds," he answered.

"Why don't we go back into my office to talk about the final plans," Mrs. Johnson suggested.
