Hat11 - As Time Ticks On

*Sparkles* - Point of View*

"Of course!" They all shouted, filling me with happiness. Me and the ones I care about more than anyone else in the world were going to get a kid. Would it be a boy? Girl? All I knew is that I had arranged a meeting at the orphanage in the city in two days in preparation.
"When are we going?" Parv spoke, moving in to hug me.
"In two days. We are going to have to get ready." I responded, which led to Alex and Ross squirming like children in excitement.
"Well we have an extra bedroom. And there is a good school a few blocks away." Chris spoke, bringing up where the child was to live. I nodded as did the rest of us, agreeing that the best place for the child would be at the Hats home. We all sat back down on the chairs, opening some of the nice alcohol that was gifted as a celebration.
"What gender do we want?" Leo brought up, taking a sip out of the glass of bubbly liquid, before sliding his finger around the base of it as it sat on his lap. We looked around before we started some pros and cons.
"Well if we have a girl when she hits puberty we will have no idea what to do."
"Yes, but how fun is it dressing up little girls in pretty dresses."
"Yeah but if we get a boy he will play video games and all that. And all of our friends do that for a living."
"Hey, girls play video games too."
"Haha yeah than we will have a total dude magnit. Unless she decides she isn't straight."
"Okay but with a boy we already know how that works. I mean look we are a group of 7 boys."
"Yeah and we could dress the boy in little suits and stuff."
"But what if the boy is bad and does bad things."
"That's not all boys. And that wouldn't be our boy."
"Okay well I have come to a conclusion." I decide, standing up in importants. Everyone looks at me in expectancy, a few furrowed brows and all eyes light with excitement.
"I say we go and see and then, if it comes down to it: I am not opposed to adopting two lucky children." Everyone smiles and nods in approval. I can't wait.
