Last Lover ~ Charlie Lenehan

chapter 31

Charlie's POV

Allie just got done having the twins. They were born on September 2 at 3:17 in the morning. They're names were Dakota Faith and Hayden Sage.

I went over to Allie's bed and looked at both of them. "They're beautiful Charlie." She whispered. "Yes they are." I said and kissed her.

"Dakota! Quit taking Hayden's toys!" I yelled through the house as I walked into mine and Allie's room. "What did you want to talk about?" I asked and sat down next to her. "Remember when we talked about having an older son?" She said.

"Yes."

"I still want one, and the only way that can happen is if we adopt."

"Alright, are you sure?"

"Yes. I want to make sure we find the right one."

"Ok. We can go to the orphanage today if you'd like."

"Ok. I'll get ready." She said and got up.

Allie's POV

2 hours later we were at the orphanage. We signed all the required papers and then went to see all the kids. "Boys ages 11 through 13 come into the sitting room." A lady said into an intercom. A few minutes later there were 6 boys lined up. "Go down the line and introduce yourselves." She said.

"I'm Samuel and I'm 11 years old." Said a boy with red hair. "My name is Jeremiah and I'm 11." Said the next boy. The next two were named Oliver and Joseph. We got to the end where there were two identical boys.

"I'm Noah and that's my brother Daniel. We're 12." One of them said. "I'm older than Noah." Daniel whispered to me. "My name is Allie. Now I'm going to go speak to my two daughters and see what they think." I said and walked over to them.

Charlie, the girls, and I went into a separate room. "What do you think?" I asked Charlie. "The twins seemed friendly. And Oliver seems like a good kid. What do you think?" He said. "I liked the twins and Jeremiah." I said. "Let's tell them so we can get to know each of them." He said.

"Can we speak to Oliver, Jeremiah, and the twins separately?" I asked the lady. "Of course," she said, "Oliver, over here please." She said.

She took all of us into a room and we sat down. "What do you like to do Oliver?" I asked him. "I like to play football." He said quietly. "You know, I used to play football when I was younger too." I said. "Why did you stop?" He asked. "Well, I became a singer, so I had to stop playing football to sing." I said. "Oh, so you're like famous?" He asked. I nodded. "Wow. I'd like to live with a famous lady." He said and smiled.

Next we talked to Jeremiah. Well, we tried to talk to him. He played with his shirt sleeve the whole time we were with him.

Now the twins. They came in and sat down. "So how do we tell you apart?" I asked. "I'm Noah, and I have a freckle on my cheek." He said. "Cool. So what do you guys like to do?" I asked. "We both play football when we can. I can play piano and Noah can play guitar." Daniel said.

"That's fantastic. I'm a musician. I can play the guitar, and the piano, and I can even play the drums and sing. Charlie, that's my husband, he sings and plays the guitar." I said. "Wow. Are those your daughters?" Daniel said. I nodded and said, "the one with the blue eyes is Dakota and the one with grey eyes is Hayden. You can go talk to them if you'd like." I said and smiled.

The two boys got up and sat down in front of the girls. "I'm Daniel. What's your name?" He asked Dakota. "I'm Dakota. Are you a big kid?" She asked. "I am a big kid. Are you a big kid yet?" He asked and smiled. "My mummy says that if I pick up my toys that I'll be a big girl." She said. "Of course. That's why I'm a big kid. I always pick up my toys." He said. "Really?" She asked. He nodded. "Wow, I'm going to pick up my toys all the time." She said. He laughed.

"And what's your name?" Noah asked Hayden. "I'm Hayden. What's your name?" She amswered. "I'm Noah. Had anyone ever told you that you look like Cinderella?" He said and smiled. "No." She said and blushed. "Well you do. You're very pretty." He said. "Thank you." She said and grinned.

We stayed with them for a little longer before going back to talk to the worker. "So have you decided?" She asked. "Yes. We'd like to adopt the twins." Charlie said and wrapped his arm around me. "Great. You'll have to sign some papers and then they can go." She said and smiled.

We signed all of the papers and helped get the boys things in the car. "So boys, we'll go shopping tomorrow to get you everything you need but for now, you can just get used to the house and every thing." I said. "Thank you." They said together.
