Follow Your Dreams - An MC Story

Chapter 9

Arriving at the boys group home I can't contain my excitement neither can Luke; entering the house there is a loud squeal with feet quickly hit the floor before a tiny body collides with my legs. Stumbling backwards a couple of steps before Luke carefully wraps an arm around my waist; steadying Tyler and I with a low chuckle.

"Ye-um, you back!" Tyler squeals loudly as Luke and I squat down in front of him with wide grins.

"I said I would Tyler and look who came with me?" I tell him looking at a happy Luke.

"Yuke, I miss you!" Tyler giggles as he hugs Luke tightly.

My love wraps his arms carefully yet tightly around Tyler's little body; "Missed you too, Ty. Have you had a fun day?"

"Yesh, Ye-um gave turtle!" Tyler says proudly.

"Cool, can I see your turtle?" Luke asks.

Tyler nods quickly at Luke as he tells him before he rushes away; "Yesh, go get!"

Luke stands upright while helping me to do the same; entering the living room where we find the boys sitting around doing their homework as soft classical music plays in the background; the boys are home schooled.

"Hi guys, how is everyone tonight?" Luke asks sitting on the couch next to Timmy.

"Okay," Timmy responds looking frustrated as he furrows his eyebrows at his homework sheets he's trying to do.

"What's wrong, Timmy?" Luke asks concerned as I carefully sit on the floor at the coffee table with Konner, Kollin, Camden and Asher as Tyler enters the room from the stairs.

"I can't figure out this math problem," Timmy whines.

Tyler climbs onto my lap, cuddling into my chest as he whispers to me; "Yove Ye-um."

"Love you too, Tyler," I whisper back hugging him tightly to me; a fluttering in my belly and I think to myself; "Love you too baby."

As Luke, Mr. Callum, Miss Cammie and I help the boys with their homework, I'm anxious for Mrs. Able to arrive and discuss everything and to take our boy home for good. She arrives twenty minutes after we've arrived at the home carrying a messenger bag and a bright smile.

After Mrs. Able says her greetings to the boys and the workers, she turns to Luke and I with a smile; "Can I talk to you two in the kitchen please?"

"Sure," Luke agrees as he and I stand to follow her into the kitchen while I carry Tyler on my hip with his head on my shoulder and he sucks right thumb.

Sitting at the table, Luke, Tyler and I on one side across from Mrs. Able, who smiles broadly at us as Tyler snuggles into my hold as he continues to suck his thumb; "So gentleman, here's what you need to know; your adoption date is October 1st at 2 p.m. with Judge Owen Warren in Family Court. This should take only thirty minutes at most; you'll have a couple of home visits between now and then and a couple after to make sure everything is working. Now here are the forms you need to sign stating that you both agree to all of this and that you are solely responsible for Tyler once the adoption is completed."

She slides the forms over to me to sign them first and then I'm to slide them to Luke, who holds the papers form me before taking them. "Once the forms are signed by the three of us; you are one step closer to legally being his parents and you can bring him home with you tonight."

Eagerly signing the papers while holding Tyler with my left arm; once all of the papers are signed, Luke hands them to Mrs. Able who signs them herself and then places them in a folder and then in her messenger bag.

"Congratulations, you're almost done," Mrs. Able says with a bright smile.

Smiling, Luke and I glance down at Tyler as Luke asks him; "Hey Tyler, would you like to live with Liam and me?"
