The orphanage gave them a car seat for Hope. Once they got to the care Trudy buckled her into the seat and Adrian made sure it was double buckled.
"Just being safe," he told Trudy
"We should go shopping for the baby," Trudy told him, "we're going to need a crib and a bassinet and a stroller and-"
"I get it," he laughed, "we'll go"
They went to Everything Babies. Everything Babies had a HUGE selection of baby items. It was a 45 minutes further then the nearest baby store but Adrian insisted his daughter have the best. Trudy was on cloud nine. Her life was perfect.
She was in awe of how wonderful a father he was. He had only been a father for 8 minutes. Suddenly Trudy realized she had to call her family and tell them the news. She was so excited. She started with her parents.
Dwight Ellison was in the kitchen fixing himself a bowl of soup when the phone rang. He picked it up seeing it was Trudy.
"Hi sweetheart," he said
"Dad guess what," she said, "you're a grandfather"
"Wait…come again?"
"Adrian and I adopted a baby today," she told him
"You what?"
"Oh dad she is the most beautiful baby ever. She's 2 days old. Her name's Jakayla Hope but we're just calling her Hope"
Dwight was speechless.
"Sweetheart that's incredible… sudden though isn't it?"
"Dwight," Marsha asked, "who is it?"
"It's Trudy," he said with a smile, "we have a grand-daughter"
Marsha blinked
"Dwight we saw them a little less then a week ago," she said, "Trudy did not look pregnant"
"She wasn't," Dwight said, "they adopted the baby today"
