As the days passed and Y/N's condition began to stabilize, the gravity of her situation sank in. The reality of being a mother at such a young age weighed heavily on her. One evening, as her brothers sat around her hospital bed, she summoned the courage to voice her thoughts.

"Guys," Y/N began hesitantly, her voice barely above a whisper. "I've been thinking a lot."

Chris, who was sitting closest to her, leaned in, concerned. "What is it, Y/N?"

Y/N took a deep breath, tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm too young to take care of a baby. I love my baby so much, but I can barely take care of myself right now. I think... I think the best thing for the baby would be to live with a family that can give them everything they need."

Nick and Matt exchanged glances, both clearly distressed by her words but understanding the weight of her decision.

"Are you sure, Y/N?" Matt asked gently. "That's a huge decision. We can help you raise the baby. You're not alone."

Y/N shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "I know you'll help, but it's not just about me. The baby deserves a stable, loving home with parents who are ready and able to care for them. I think... I think they need more than I can give right now."

Chris's eyes filled with tears as he reached out to hold her hand. "It's okay, Y/N. Whatever you decide, we'll support you. We just want what's best for you and the baby."

Nick, his voice choked with emotion, added, "We'll help you find a good family. Someone who can give your baby the love and care they need."

Y/N nodded, her heart aching with the weight of her decision. "Thank you. I just want them to be happy and safe."

The brothers embraced Y/N, their hearts breaking for her but respecting her strength and selflessness. Over the next few days, they began the difficult process of finding a suitable home for the baby.

With the help of social workers and adoption agencies, they carefully reviewed potential families, ensuring that the baby would be placed in a loving and supportive environment. It was a painful process, but Y/N remained steadfast in her decision, knowing it was the right thing to do.

Finally, they found a family that felt like the perfect match. A kind, loving couple who had been longing for a child and were ready to provide the stable home that Y/N wanted for her baby.

On the day of the handover, Y/N held her baby close, tears streaming down her face. "I love you so much," she whispered. "This is the hardest thing I've ever done, but I know it's for the best."

Her brothers stood by her side, offering their unwavering support. They watched as the baby was placed in the arms of the adoptive parents, who were overcome with gratitude and emotion.

As the baby left with their new family, Y/N's heart ached with both sorrow and relief. She knew she had made the right decision, even though it was incredibly painful.

Back in the hospital room, the brothers hugged Y/N tightly. "You were so brave," Chris said softly. "We’re so proud of you."
