2 days passed and the park decided to close down. A memorial was held for Dr. Masrani who died in a helicopter crash during the massacre. Claire went to Owen's bungalow to check on him and Sophie. She knocked on the door and Owen answered. ''Hey'' he said. ''Hey. mind if I come in?'' Claire asked. ''Sure'' Owen replied before Claire walked in. ''Hi, Claire'' Sophie said as she sat at the table eating a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. ''Hi'' Claire replied to the six-year-old. ''Soph, me and Claire will be in the hallway'' Owen said. Owen and Claire stood in the hallway.
''A social worker supposed to come by here to see if I'm fit to adopt Sophie'' he told her.
''Is that good news?''
''Yeah, But I'm worried that they're not going to see me as a perfect father'' Owen explained, ''I mean this probably wouldn't even be the type of place to raise a kid''
''Owen, I understand that you're aware of that, But you need to convince him or her that you really do care enough to take care of Sophie'' Claire replied.
''I am, and I'm not going to have them take Sophie away from me''
''What are you talking about?'' Sophie walked in between Owen and Claire.
''Nothing'' Owen replied, ''It's time for bed''. Owen picked up Sophie and told Claire to excuse him for a minute.
''I'm not tired'' said Sophie.
''I'm tired''
''No, you're not, you were talking''
''You know, you're a smart kid''
The social worker came on the island and met Owen in his bungalow. ''Hi, I'm Lisa Graham. You must be Owen'' she shook his hand. ''Yeah. Come in'' Owen replied. They sat at the table in the kitchen and talked. ''I understand that you want to adopt Sophie'' she said, ''Do you have any experiences with kids before?''. ''Not exactly'' said Owen.
''So how did you find Sophie?''
''Her father was killed in an accident and I found her sitting there alone''
''So you just put her in your protective care?''
''Yes''
''Where's Sophie right now?''
''She's with one of the guys that I work with''
''Ok, I'm going to need you to show me around so I know if this would be the perfect place for her live''
''Look, before you do that, I need you to know that I may not know what it's like to be a parent, But I love Sophie and she needs me. What she's gone through has been traumatic enough for her to get over, and if I can't have her, there won't be anybody else to help her''
Mrs. Graham looked at Owen for a moment. ''You know, Mr. Grady, you are probably one of the most dedicated people I know and it must be important for Sophie to see that''
After Owen showed Mrs. Graham around the bungalow, she finally told him that he is capable of raising Sophie. One week later, he signed adoption papers and officially became a parent.
That night, after Owen gave Sophie a bath, she wore one of Owen's big T-shirts. Owen carried her to her room and tucked her into bed. ''Are you ok for now?'' he asked and she nodded her head, ''Good. The scary stuff are over, ok? You're safe here with me''.
''Goodnight, Soph. get some sleep'' Owen said as he pulled the covers over her.
''Daddy?'' Sophie asked.
''Yeah?''
''I love you''
Owen smiled and kissed Sophie's forehead. ''I love you too, sweetheart'' he said.
