The next day at work we told everybody the news about Noah. We still weren't sure if we would even get approved. But we had a good feeling about it.
"What is this? Olivia and the kid making factory?"Nick asked laughing. Amanda slapped him across the arm hard. I got up and left the room, heading to the CPS office to see Noah.
He was such a beautiful baby boy. So perfect. I picked him up and he put his head on my chest. I felt my heart skip a beat. He lightly sighed and I knew at that moment that I loved him with everything in me.
Just then the judge walked in. "Oh, I was going to call you but since you're already here, I might as well tell you now. Congratulations, you have passed your adoption application. You will then have 4 weeks to prepare for his arrival."she said while smiling. I was overcome with happiness. It was finally happening, my life was coming together.
I arrived home and told Elliot the good news. He was very excited that we were getting Noah.
I told him we had a month to prepare and he said "Might as well start now." Since it was Friday and we had the weekend off we didn't worry that much about sleep. We drove to Ludlo's Paints and bought some cans of light blue paint. We cleared out the room that used to be Elliots office but was now just a very dusty room and cleaned it till it was spotless. We ripped up the carpet and we planned on putting the hardwood down in the morning. We painted the walls, being careful not to make any runs or miss any spots, when it was finished it looked great. Elliot came up behind be and hugged me. He turned me around and put his hand on my face, leaving paint all over my face. "Elliot!"I squealed. I stuck my hand in the nearest paint bucket and rubbed it all over his bare stomach. "Olivia!"he squealed back almost mockingly. He picked me us and spun me, stumbling everywhere until we colapsed on the floor in a laughing fit. "I love you Olivia."he said "I love you to Elliot. So much." I said back. "I'm so glad we're doing this."he relpied kissing me. He then picked me up bride style and said "Let us go my beautiful bride! Our warm shower and comfortable bed await us!" I laughed uncontrollably. I loved him so much.
