It was 7 o'clock when the Monk's entered the orphanage.
"Trudy," the owner greeted her, "it's great to see you again"
"Thank you," she told her, "Adrian and I are interested in adopting Jakayla
"Wonderful," the owner said, "I'll go get her"
"Don't we need to fill in the papers," Monk asked
"Normally yes," the owner said, "but Trudy has been volunteering here for a long time. I trust her completely. Come back tomorrow and we can fill out the papers"
"But we don't have any thing for the baby's room and-"
"It's okay," Trudy said gently, "we'll get the stuff"
Monk look like he was about to hyperventilate and then they brought the baby out"
The owner placed Jakayla in Adrian's arms
It was awkward at first
She was so little he was afraid he would break her
As he cradled her she looked up at him and blew a baby kiss.
At that minute he fell in love with the baby.
"Trudy," he whispered, "she's perfect"
"She really is," Trudy said dropping a kiss on the baby's forehead
"She's so tiny"
"Most babies are"
"I'll go get her stuff," the owner told them, "it'll get you through the next day since the stores are closed"
"Can I hold her," Trudy asked
"Sure," Adrian whispered carefully handing the baby to Trudy
She cradled the baby to her.
"Be careful," he told her
"Adrian," she laughed, "I know how to hold a baby"
"I know," he said, "it's just..."
"What? What is it"
"I never knew," he said, "I can't believe how amazing it is to be a father"
Just then it was obvious that Jakayla needed a change
"I'll take care of that," Adrian told Trudy
Changing the baby turned out to be harder then Adrian thought.
