were best of friends ever since they were kids, over time their friendship blossomed into love.

the two did it all, graduated high school and college together, traveled the world, got engaged and eventually married each other.

their lives were perfect, jonah was a licensed therapist at a local hospital while corbyn was a scientific journalist. but recently the couple felt something was missing, they were incomplete.

"jo?"

"yes bean." jonah replied.

"i want a baby." corbyn said.

"corbyn we've been over this before, it isn't possible you and I have tired so much times." Jonah said in defeat.

"i know but we still haven't explored all our options yet. We can get a surrogate or adopt."

"well can't afford the cost for a surrogate and the medical procedure. And adoption is a long process."

"well why don't we get a foster license? that won't take long and we can adopt later on." corbyn said.

"corbyn—"

"i thought you wanted a baby just as bad as me." corbyn pouted.

"i do, but I don't want you to be disappointed. these kids have been through a lot." jonah said.

"but we can give them a home, jo." corbyn said.

"okay then let's do it, I'll make some calls in morning." jonah smiles kissing corbyn's lips.

their little family was gonna grow, just no in the way they expected.

three months later corbyn and jonah we're driving to a foster facility to meet their future son or daughter. they were beyond excited to say the lease. the pair sat in the car taking in the moments before their life would change forever. the two held hands walking into the large building.

kids were everywhere, boys and girls of all ages. a older boy, not much older than 19 approached the couple.

"can I help you?" the boy said, holding a baby girl.

"yeah we have an appointment with ms. stanford at 11." jonah spoke.

"the marais' correct? i'm tyler, kristen's office is down the hall to the right." he said pointing down a hall.

they thanked him and followed his instructions to a large brown door. corbyn knocked on the door receiving a small 'come in'.

"mr. and mr. marais, please sit." she smiles, shaking their hands. "so everything is here and ready for you to start fostering. i want to ask if you have any preference. are you wanting girl or a boy? would you like a certain age range?"

"no. we want whoever shares a connection with us." corbyn said as kristen nods.

"okay, follow me." she said guiding the couple to a room filled with kids. each playing quietly with toys or reading books.

corbyn and jonah talked to several kids and none clicked with them in the way they hoped.

until a certain brunette caught corbyn's eye. The boy was small for his age he looked about five or six.

"jo," corbyn whispered, catching jonah's attention.

the boy was crying softly in the arms of another much older brown-haired boy, and next to him was tired looking a curly headed boy.
