FORBIDDEN LOVE

Adopted child

We were sitting on the rock, Georgia's favourite place. But Kim had never loved to swim, dive and everything which connected with water. She was afraid of this force of nature. When she was small, our parents were having a picnic near the lake, dad was blind drunk and he came to Kim and started to say offended words: "Come on, girl! You are so miserable coward creature!" Our mum tried to protect her from his attack, she said: "Garold, stop! She is small." But Garold was unstoppable: "If she always sits on the shore, she never learn to swim. Stupid bitch!" At that moment, I was swimming not far from the shore where Kim sitting. I was waving to her from that place where I was diving. I saw Garold to take her, she started to cry, she begged him not to do it. Mum was crying too, her bitter tears splashed all around her face. He was carrying Kim to the water screaming: "I'll teach you how to swim, girl!" Having said, he threw her into the air and her body fell into the water down like dead corpse. I saw only horror in her blue eyes. She was waving her fingers as if trying to reach my hand. All around it was heard only her yelling and hit the water. The pain of grief inserted into my body as if thousands swords. At once, I was brassing to her and she beat me by her arms in terrible convulsions. I was trying to calm her down, but words didn't help and I had to kiss her forehead and she gave a sigh of relief. It was her sad experience with water, since she had never come to the water close. 

And so, we were sitting on the rock and keeping silence, I decided to start first. 

"Kim, I see your sadness, but you know, it's our payback. If we wanna live together, we need to sacrifice something." - I kissed her forehead and held her hands in mine. 

"I know, I love you so much, but I wanna have a child too. We are already twenty five and we live enough alone." - She curled herself on my knees. 

"We can adopt a child. I have a good job. We have a nice house. We are married. We have everything for it." - She raised her eyes and I saw the hope in them. 

It was the fifth of January, we came to the another city visiting an orphanage house. We wanna take a boy, it was our dream to have a boy. We decided to take a boy three or four years old. Kim was scared that everybody would know about our secrets. We thought that children wouldn't be given to the abnormal family. WE were brothers and it was a problem. The orphanage house was overcrowded, that's why the keeper was glad to get rid of any child. We were good opportunity for this house. Inside was not so bad like outside. The building was so old and tacky. When we came into the hall, the smell was like sweet medicine. It remembered me the hospital in our city where our mum brought us to examine. 

"It's so good that you've come. We are so happy." - The keeper was fake friendly. 

"Oh, Mrs. Hype, you are so kind. When can we see the children?" - I asked her, because Kimberly couldn't say a word. 

"Any time, Mister Bay! What a child do you need? I've checked your papers, everything is perfect, I think the adopting department will approve your requirement."

"We need a boy! Three or four years old."

"Oh, why do we need such a child? He is enough big, such child understands everything that you are not his parents, he can be trouble for you. Take a tiny baby, I have one baby for you. One mother gave him birth on the 25th of December, he is just a few days from his birth. Do you wanna check him out?"

"But....?" - I wanna remind her about our ask. Suddenly, Kim gave her voice. 

"Yes, please!"

Mrs. Hype was so happy like a fat cat. She asked us to follow for her. When she brought us to the baby's bed, he was waving his teeny weeny hands, he was grunting like a real small baby. His brown eyes conquered our hearts. From the first sight only one name was in my hand "Jayden". 

"He is so cutie. Charley, you see, he is like you." - Kim's face was delighted. 

When she said it, I understood: "Yeah, now this baby is my son!"
