My Darling Elenor

Chapter Three

Chapter Three

James and Emily were quiet most of the journey, both thinking of what a child would bring to their lives and what it would look like. James wanted a boy to play football with, teach to box, take fishing and all the male things fathers and sons do. Emily always had the final say she didn't have her heart set on a certain gender she just wanted a child to love.

Pulling into the adpotion car park they both looked at each other and smiled.

"We are finally here." Emily yelped she had tear of joy in her eyes, the day had finally arose that Emily would have a child.

"I know our new life starts as soon as we enter that door. Are you sure you are ready?" James replied.

"I have been ready all my life."

Entering the adoption centre James was instantly winded asif a invisible force had punched him in the stomach.

"James!!! Are you okay?" Emily stressed.

"I'm fine i just lost my breath for a minute." He said with a fuzzy experession. He wondered what had made him react that way maybe it was just the initial shock that it was finally happening they would walk out of this building as parents.

A red haired lady stepped out of an office to the right and looked at the pair. "Hi, may i help you?"

"Yes we are here to see Mrs Marshall. I am Emily and this is my husband James." A smile formed on her face the word husband was new and it felt weird saying it in a conversation.

"Hi."James held out his hand and shook the red heads.

"My name is Sara, follow me i will take you to her office."

Emily and James followed Sara, they walked through a set of double doors and turned left and went half way up the corridor before standing at a holt.

"Wait here a moment whilst i announce your arrival to Mrs Marshall."

She disapeared into the office.

"The staff seem friendly, and it is so clean do you think we will be able to look at all the children?" Emily said so quick it was barely hearable.

"Emily stop working yourself up dear we will be parents today nothing will break that or our happiness." His soothed gentle tone relaxed Emily's shoulder and she let out a long breath.

The door opened. 

"Please come in." The Blonde woman said.

"Take a seat and we will go through everythign you need to know."

There was two leather chairs infront of a large oak desk, the couple sat in them side by side and held hands as they settled into the real leather.

"My name is Cathryn Marshal, i am the general manager of Greenmount adoption centre. There are a few things i need to go through with you before we can start making a desicions on which child you would like to take home." she looked at the couple and they nodded for her to continue. "Firstly you must  understand some of these children are damaged and need all the attention possible. Do you understand the altercations of this?" She asked.

"Yes, that is fine would we be able to know of the child background?" Emily replied.

"Yes we always give you theie notes on there previous homes ect. So what type of child are you looking for?"

"My husband would prefere a boy but i don't mind either way, we was hoping about 4, 5 years old other than that we dont really know."

Cathryn stood and pulled the files together and locked them away in a cabinet.

"Shall we look?"

Emily nodded and raised to her feet followed by James. The building was huge Emily and James had turned so many corners they couldn't possibly find their own way out. Cathryn entered a room and Emily and James followed. Looking in there was almost 100 Children age range 4-6 years.

Emily's mouth shot open as her eyes lay on a little girl sat at a table drawing on her own. She had Long wavvy dirty blonde hair, with emerald green eyes she was wearing a velvet green dress and a tartan headband.

"I like her." She pointed to the little girl.

"That is Elenor. We don't have much paper work on her but i know she has had a rough time for a four year old." Cathryn informed them.

James looked at Emily and shrugged his shoulders. "It's up to you darling."

"Elenor it is." The child looked up and smiled a devilish smile, but Emily saw it as a sweet smile.

Back at the office the couple filled out the appropriate paper work whilst Cathryn rooted for Elenors files.

"Okay, this is all we have on Elenor, i would like you to go home read it and prepare for her arrival a week tomorrow." Cathryn Slammed down the folder and took the paper work from Emily's hands.
