"Phil?" Dan calls from the kitchen. Phil sleepily walks in. "Yeah?" Dan takes a deep breath. "I want to adopt a baby." Phil jolts awake. "You what?" Dan puts his hands on Phil's shoulders. "I. Want. To. Adopt. A. Baby."
Phil stares at him. He protests, "Dan! We're not even married! We can't adopt a kid before!" Dan whines. "But I can't wait any longer!" Phil snorts. "So?" Dan says, "But I already found out the local adoption center just got a baby boy and they haven't even picked a name yet! Please?"
The older boy looks at him. "You already looked this stuff up?!" Dan nods. "I'll think about this, Dan. But NO promises." Dan smiles. He knows. Phil would do anything to keep his Bear happy. Even if that meant adopting.
****************************
An hour later Phil agrees to Dan's pleads. They go to the adoption center and they're taken into consideration. Surprisingly, no one else had even came to ask. The baby was granted theirs.
