Cammies P.O.V

We've been in Africa for about a day and a half and so far I'm sore. I help hammer in nails and I help bring wood to a place where it needs, basically I just help where I'm needed. Ally has surrounded herself with little kids, she gives them piggy back rides and shoulder rids, and she just adores hanging out with them, I think she hangs out with them mostly because she's still a child though. Sometimes I see Shannon working with the kids who want to help, it's really cute because she's so sweet with them. She sees me every once in a while and just kind of waves, she is always hard at work, some kids sit next to her at lunch and dinner but never breakfast. Today is a little cooler than yesterday the wind is blowing which helps the heat. It's about 8:00 now, we're eating breakfast, ally is sitting next to Stevie and a bunch of little kids she's made friends with and me and Shannon sit next to each other. Right after breakfast we go straight to work, at first I help hammer stuff in and then I'm needed somewhere else so I go. After about 10 minutes working there I get called somewhere else and work there. But I'm caught off guard when I hear crying, I look around me and see who it is and I finally see where it's coming from. A little boy comes running down the hill with a bloody knee, I drop me hammer and go to him.
"Hey buddy" I say trying to comfort him "did you hurt your knee" he nods "want me to help you?" He nods again "okay let's go" I say picking him up. I take him into a little ledge and sit him down, he's still crying but not as hard, Shannon is helping someone and sees me and comes over to help.
"Who's this?" She asked smiling at the boy
"He scrapped his knee so I'm helping him out" I tell her "can you go get us a bandage?" I ask Shan politely, she nods and goes to the first aid.
"Well Shannon's getting you a bandage but we have to clean this off because it has dirt in it, will you let me do that?" I ask him and he nods. "Okay, your really brave you know" I say getting some water on a rage, I gently put the rage on his knee and he started to cry a little more. Ally saw me doing this and came over, she had a little girl on her shoulder and took her off gently.
"Hey little guy, it's okay cams just fixing you up" ally says holding is hand
"Almost done bud your doing good" I say and smile at him, after I finished washing his leg up Shannon came back with a bandage and I put them on his knee.
"Look it's all better" I say gesturing to his knee, he was still crying and I didn't know what to do so I kissed the bandage covering his knee. "Does that help" I say hoping it would, he stopped crying and looked at me in shock, he stopped crying and gave me a hug.
"What's your name" I ask still hugging him, but he didn't respond "hey what's your name" I say chuckling
"Oh that little boys name is Roman, but don't be expecting much talking out of him. He haven't spoken a word after his parents died in the earth quake" a woman says "but he's a sweet kid, loves to help other people"
"Want to work with us a little bit Roman? You can hang out with cammie and me" Shannon says but he just looks confused.
"Oh yeah, I'm cammie and this is my wife Shannon, do you want to maybe work with us?" I tell him, he nods and takes my hand and we begin to work together.

Shannon's P.O.V

We've been hanging out with Roman so much, he's so addicting to have around. He sits by us at every meal and he helps us work, he even has his own little bed in our house. Sometimes when he has nightmares or something he'll wake one of us up because he's scared. Cammie calls him "Roman soldier" because she says "he's so strong and brave he has to be a Roman soldier". It's cute how he just kind of follows us around, ally calls him "our shadow" which is so cute. He would just hold our hand and walk with us to whatever we had next, we spent ever day with Roman, he would always beg us to take pictures of him whenever we got out our cameras. We probably had like 60 pictures just of Roman, but when I finally got cammie to myself I asked her a question.
"Cam, what if we adopt Roman?" I ask
"Oh my gosh....we could adopt him! Do you think he'll want to be adopted by us?" She asked concerned
"Cam he has no parents, he follows us around every waking moment...I don't think he'll care that much"
"So you want to do this? You want to adopt Roman?!"
