Chapter Sixteen

Two days before the young men had to go home, Greta was out in the vegetable garden when she heard someone crying and when she went to see who it was she found Peter. She softly said his name and he tried to wipe away his tears, but when Greta opened her arms he went to her and as she held him he said "I don't want to go back to New York, there's nothing for me there and I'm afraid that it will happen again." Greta held him till he stopped crying and then she said "go inside and wash your face while I go have a talk with Seto." After Peter went inside, Greta was more determined that he wasn't going to return to that horrible place.

Seto was in his Office when his secretary told him that Greta was there to see him. Seto was kind of afraid that something had happened at they Manor and said to show her in. Greta had worked for Seto for seven years, since she was thirty, when she closed the door he had seen that she had been crying and he asked "what's wrong?"

We've known each other long enough now and I want to do something but I feel I must have your approval to do it. I want to see about adopting Peter and making him my son." God, today I found him crying and begging not to be sent back to New York and I can't allow him to go. He needs someone that he can count on to be there when he cries out at night or to give him praise when he does something right and I'm just that person." Seto smiled at her, boy was she that person. Seto then stood and went around and took her into his arms and he said "let me see what I can do, go back home and I'll be home early tonight and let you know what I found out." Greta gave him a hug and kissed his cheek wiped her face and went back to the Manor.

Seto called his Attorney and asked him "a friend of mine would love to adopt one of the young men that were staying at his home. Please let me know what you find out." George called Seto back and the news he had kind of burst Greta's bubble. Your friend has to be married and earning over thirty thousand a year, have a nice home with a bedroom for the young man." Seto thanked him and sat there wondering what he was going to tell Greta when it hit him and he called and asked if Steve ( the one that worked for him) would please come and talk to him about something?"

When Steve got there he was told to go on in and when he closed the door and stood there Seto asked "I don't mean to get into your personal life, but please answer me do you really like Greta enough to marry her?" Steve turned red and he said "yes I do but what is this all about?" When Seto was done telling him, Steve said "I'll go talk to her and see what we can do to make sure that the young man stays here."

Mary was walking pass the living room when she heard Jason get angry with Peter and as she listened to what they were talking about tears ran down her face and she knew right then and there that none of them would ever leave Domino even if she had to adopt them herself!" Roland came round the corner and heard what they were saying and when Mary looked at him he put his arm around her and then he asked her "what would you say if I asked you to marry me? I've fallen in love with you and if we were married we could adopt at least two of them and then find someone else to adopt the others and then they all could stay here and never fear of going back there ever again." Mary smiled up at Roland and she said "that's the most romantic proposal that I've ever heard and I accept." Then they went to have a talk with Joey and Serenity who both thought that what they were going to do was the most unshelfish thing anyone could do.

Steve went back to the Manor and went to talk to Greta and when she heard what he had to say well lets just say that she nearly jumped up and down and she too accepted his proposal too. When Mokie and Serenity overheard what was happening they were so happy and then Serenity thought for a minute and then she said "what if Shadi and Ishizu were to adopt one of them, then they all would have homes here and all the love that they would ever need?" "Mokie then said "lets go call them and ask."

Mary and Roland, Greta and Steve, Ishizu and Shadi all went to talk to Kenneth and Thomas and when they told them what they wanted to do, well both of the psychologists were overjoyed to hear that the young men would be living with people that would give them the love and understanding that they desperately needed. Kenneth then said "we need to call all of them together and let them know what all of you would like to do and see if they want to live here."

Jason, Steve, Chad, Mike and Peter were all a little scared as to why they were being asked to come for a meeting. "What if they want us all to go home now?" Chad asked. As they went inside the den and closed the door and stood there looking like little lost children, Kenneth said "what would all of you say if we were to tell you that these people want to adopt you and have all of you stay here in Domino forever?"
