Ashton

I grabbed Connor's hand, and looked up at the sign on the brick building.

Long Island Adoption Agency

"You ready for this?" I whispered.

"Ready as I'll ever be." He grinned, and we headed into the building.

We were greeted by a cheerful desk decorated with Valentine's day heart stickers, and little nick-knacks scattered here and there. A small lady with brown hair, and pointed glasses was seated at the desk, a bright smile on her face.

"Hello! My name is Kathleen. How can I be of service today?" She said with a cheery grin.

"We're the Stolls, Connor, and Ashton. We're here about our baby, Emmaline?" I smiled excitedly.

"Oh yes of course! You're Em's adoptive parents." She extended her arm and pointed towards the back. "Right this way!"

She stood up and led us towards what looked like a nursery. "This is her room, - Oh! I almost forgot! Just a quick paper I need you to sign before she's yours, dears." She handed us a clipboard with an attached pen, and we filled out the necessary paperwork, and handed it back.

"Now, here's her room." She smiled, and led us into a small nursery filled mostly by two cribs. She led us close to the crib on the right, where a small pink bundle lay smiling back up at us.

"Connor, Ashton. Meet Emmaline. Your new baby girl!" Kathleen smiled, and carefully picked up Emmaline, turning around and offering her to me. I carefully took the fragile bundle, and looked down at two big blue eyes. Connor stood behind me, smiling and gently brushing Em's forehead. 

"I can't believe she's really ours." Con whispered into my ear.

"I know. A little baby of our very own." I smiled, thinking of all we had been through to reach this point, and now, now she was ours.

I looked up at Connor. "Want to hold her?" I smiled. I didn't want to give her up, but she's his daughter too.

"Uh.. Um. Uh." He stammered. "What... if I um,"

I stopped him. "Connor. It's fine. You wont drop her." I smiled and turned around so I could carefully hand our precious baby girl to him. He took hold of her carefully, looking down at her with a sweet smile on her face.

"Hey, it's me." He whispered to her. "I'm your dad, and we're gonna cause lots of trouble together."

"Hey!" I giggled. "I heard that." He looked at me and grinned.

"You heard nothing." We laughed, and I looked up at him, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Connor Stoll, you're going to be a great Dad." I smiled.

"Ashton Stoll, you're going to be a great Mom." He grinned, and kissed my forehead.

With a small smile, Kathleen reentered the room.

"Well, dears. I hate to kick you out - but it's almost closing time, and I'm sure you want to get sweet Emmaline home." She smiled, and gestured towards the door.

"Oh Connor, can you run and grab the car seat?" I questioned, remembering the forgotten item.

"Sure. Anything else you need from the car while I'm there?" He asked.

"Not that I can think of. If you see anything you think we might need from here to the car, you can bring it in." I answered, and turned to Kathleen. "Is there somewhere I can change her diaper before we leave?" I asked.

"Sure dear, there's a changing table in the corner." I turned to where she pointed, and noticed a small changing table tucked in the corner behind a rocking chair.

"Great! Thanks." I slid behind the rocking chair, Em in one arm, the diaper bag on the other. I carefully set her on the table, and strapped her in.

By the time I finished changing her diaper,  Connor was back with her car seat, and a blanket.

"Here you go, my queen." He grinned.

"Thanks Con." I smiled as he set the car seat in front of me. 

"Now, do you need help setting my princess in her chariot?" He asked.

"No, I do believe I'm fine. But thank you, my king." We laughed as I set Emmaline in her seat, and we were off.

This parenthood adventure had just begun.
