Over the next few weeks we find out a lot about Baby Doe, we eventually find out that his name is Noah. The mother is no where to be found and neither is the father. I go to every court hearing about him. And I try my best to visit him at CPS everyday. The judge asks me if I was interested in applying for adoption of him. I had never really thought about it before up until this point. I immediately couldn't stop thinking about it. I mean, three babies.. how would Elliot take that? Would he reject it or would he accept it? Questions kept replaying in my head thinking of all the possibilities. Of course I would have to take off of work for quiet some time but I had money put back I could just use that. Elliot has a fairly good sized house. Two stories 4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms, plenty enough space, but I don't know if he'd want to have three children all at once. Noah was still fairly an infant and I was already 3 months pregnant with my due date being January 4th. I thought about things a lot in my head every chance I got. Eventually, Elliot noticed that even when i was there, I was never really there. I was always off somewhere in my head thinking.
"Are you okay beautiful? Something you need to talk to me about?"he asked gingerly. "Uh, I guess this is as good a time as ever." I saw as I continue with my thinking. "You know baby Noah, the one that we found on that case a few weeks ago? Well, I've been going to all of his court hearings and I've been visiting him everyday and two days ago the judge that heads over his cases asked me if I would like to apply for adoption of him."I said slowly hoping for a non-angry reply.
"I think you should do it." Elliot said calmly. "What?" I asked. "Look, Olivia, he'll never know what true love of a parent is unless someone shows him. I know it will be a little overwhelming, yes, but I think we can handle it. Plus it will be a few months before we get him anyway. It'll give us some time to prepare. We have enough space and money. We'll just have to be dedicated." "Oh my god. Okay. I'll apply. I'm so excited Elliot, thankyou so much. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me."I replied getting off the couch and heading to the computer to apply.
