Author's Note: Time for Laura to go back to work…
Chapter 582 weeks later…
Laura sat at her desk just staring into space.
While life was all around her at the office, she couldn't help but feel so empty inside. Everything seemed to go by so slow including the time.
She just closed her eyes and tried to think of what her life would've been if her life turned out differently.
All she saw was a huge blank.
Suddenly the sound of a knock on her desk got her attention back up and she turned around to see Sean.
"Are you alright?" he asked with a smile.
"I'm just getting adjusted being back on the job and all," she responded with a little sarcasm in her voice.
"If you want some more time off…"
"No, really. It's okay. In a way this is good. It distracts me from certain things. Is there anything else you wanted, Sean?"
"Nah," he sounded like changing his mind, "I mean, maybe it's not okay…"
"Spill, Sean. Say it."
"I need your help."
"When was he brought in?" Laura asked as she followed Sean throughout the building.
"Earlier this morning."
"And this mother just dropped her off here and fled."
"Apparently that's how it went."
"What's wrong with people nowadays?" she asked.
"I have no clue but it sickens me."
They finally reached a room and before entering, Sean said, "You don't have to this if you don't feel comfortable."
"I'll be okay. I am capable taking care of kids," she said.
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
Sean just nodded to himself and opened the door to reveal a small baby in a basket being watched by Robert who was holding a small teddy bear.
"Thank god, you two arrived. I was going to be late for a meeting," Robert said in a hurry getting his coat.
"Does the baby have a name?"
"No but it's a she and she's a very quiet one. Can you handle it?" Robert asked.
"Hand me the teddy," Laura assured, "Right now I think I'm immune to possibilities."
"Alright. See ya," he said leaving.
"I've got go and start finding a temporary placement for her. Maxine is searching with her cop buddies for the woman who brought her here. Will you be okay?"
"I'll be fine, Sean," Laura said walking to the baby. "Hey, you're so cute," she started saying.
Sean just smiled with approval and left.
Laura looked back down at the child and thought, I'll be okay. I will.
