All because he was scared

Seven - only because I love you

Parker pov:
The Girl sits across from Chester and I, shaking. Chester's hand is wrapped in mine as we try to figure out what's best to do.

So far we know that she was taken away from her parents when she was a baby and had been labeled as missing since, but we have no clue who she is. God knows she's even from New York. She doesn't have a name either, so we've decided to call her Eliza, short for Elizabeth.

Eliza hasn't said much since her initial outburst. Now she's on and off sobbing.

"You're safe," Chester tries again to console her, "we'll figure out a way to get you back to your parents."

"Baby," I whisper, "I don't think we can do that. It's been so long, no one will know who she is."

Chester's expression Weavers, "so what do we do with her?"

I look at her face. Her cloudy, dark eyes were glassy and distant, she's never been able to trust someone.  I stand up, and walk over to her.

"Let's take her in."

Chester pov:

My initial thought is to say no.  Parker and I haven't been dating for long, I'm not ready to have a "kid". Even if she is maybe 14 years old and pre-assembled, I don't want to deal with her.

"Baby, I don't think that's a good idea," I tell Parker.

He rests a hand on my cheek and looks into my eyes, "she has no where else to go, and I can't imagine her in the foster system, she's scared."

This is the First time Parker has been so adamant about something.  I can't tell what it is about this girl specifically that makes him like her. But looking into his beautiful eyes, I can't tell him no.

I nod, "fine, but only because I love you."

Parker plants a kiss on my lips and walks over to Eli- the girl, and takes her upstairs where her room will be.
