Shane couldn't stand to see Mitchie lock herself in a room with Tesoro refusing to give him up.
Once she had calmed down-well somewhat calmed down-she grabbed Tesoro and stormed into her bedroom refusing to let anyone in or out.
He sighed going to the adoption agency's website and filling out a new form.
Only for him instead of Mitchie.
He wasted an hour of his life doing that.
And when he hit send he walked to Mitchie's door.
Hoping he would be able to coax her out.
He knocked on her door.
She yelled at him to go away.
"Mitchie come out."
"No!"
He heard a small cry come from Tesoro.
"Mitchie come on, your being unfair to Tesoro."
She opened the door and looked at him.
She looked so broken.
She looked around the house.
"Okay."
And she walked out still clutching Tesoro to her chest.
Like a small rag doll that she wouldn't sleep with out.
"Mitchie its okay to put him down."
She looked at Tesoro.
"I cant. I just cant let anyone take him. If I let go of him that might happen."
She was vulnerable.
She couldn't do it.
She wasn't strong.
She was as weak as the next person.
He didn't tell her what he just did.
He was going to keep it a secret.
Just in case.
She sighed stroking Tesoro's head.
"Mine."
She looked at Shane with a worn broken expression.
"I cant Shane. I found him. I need him. No one wanted him. We need each other."
She started crying again.
Which caused Tesoro to begin to wail.
Shane sighed pulling Mitchie into him for a hug.
"Mitchie calm down."
She didn't.
She continued to have tears splash down her face onto poor Tesoro.
And with each tear Tesoro wailed louder.
"Mitchie you either have to calm down or give me Tesoro. He wont go anywhere."
She looked at Shane then Tesoro.
And handed Shane her precious Tesoro.
She wiped her tears away as Shane rocked Tesoro.
And she did the unthinkable.
She took her eyes off of Tesoro for one minute.
And when she looked back later.
He was still there.
Safe in Shane's arms.
She smiled a bit.
If only she wasn't still on high alert.
But at least for the moment.
Tesoro was with some one she trusted with her own life.
