The next morning, the house was in shambles. It was about 7am, and Laura was making breakfast downstairs. She decided that pancakes would be a good idea, because they were Steven’s favorite.
When Laura was done making breakfast and setting the table, she called upstairs for her husband. “Steven, breakfast is ready, and if you don’t get down here, you are going to be late!”
Steven was in the medical field, and working his way up to being a surgeon. Right now he is a medical assistant and Laura always found it funny that he kept his uniform at work most of the time. She worked as a substitute teacher at the Catholic private school in town, and she loved it there.
Laura walked back into the kitchen and got some cereal ready for Joshua, while Steven carried Joshua down the stairs.
He put his son in his highchair, and then sat down at the table where his pancakes were waiting for him. “Mm, they smell good, hunny.”
“Thank you,” she said as she walked over to Josh and kissed his forehead, handing him his cereal.
Laura sat down next to her husband and looked at him, she wasn’t very hungry, but she picked at her food a little bit. Meanwhile, Steven was shoving his food into his mouth.
“Are you going to work today?” She asked.
“of course I am, why wouldn’t I be?”
“I was just wondering,” she shrugged, “was she still asleep before you came downstairs?”
“I don’t know, Laura,” he said, coldly.
A little hurt, she said “Did you even look?”
Ignoring her question, “Are you calling the police and reporting this, or am I going to have to do it?”
She sighed, and got up. “Don’t worry about it.”
She walked up the stairs, a little angry. How could he ask her like that? Maybe he’s right, she needs to do it before she gets too attached. Although, she already seems to be pretty attached already. She picked the little baby up and held her close to her body.
How could someone just drop her off on a family’s doorstep and abandon her? And what if her mother was right?
Steven called up from downstairs, “I’m leaving, Laura, and I’m taking Josh to his daycare, I’ll see you later on tonight.”
She listened for the car engine and for the sound of the doors shutting, he was not going to let her keep this baby, and she needed to talk to someone, to talk to anyone.
She didn’t have very many people to talk to, her parents had died when she was in college and she really only has her sister.
She decided to email her sister, knowing that Holly was at work she’d get the email faster than she’d get a chance to call her back, so after she fed the baby and placed her back in the crib, she took a seat at the computer.
Dear Holly,
It’s me, your wonderful sister! I have a dilemma, and I need your help. No, I’m not being dramatic, this one really is a big deal. Last night a young girl rang our doorbell and ran away, leaving a little two month old baby at our door. Of course Steven, who never wanted kids, is being very responsible by saying I need to call the cops and report this, but the poor baby. You know how I am, I have a soft spot for this little girl. Not only have I always wanted more than one child but she would just end up going from foster home to another foster home, and she’s just so little and she’s so cute.
Steven and I have been having a lot of issues, and you know that. I may have to do that thing we were discussing last week. What would you do in my case?
Sincerely,
Laura.
Signing off of the computer, she rested her head against her hands, confused as ever. She went and picked up the baby, “Your going to need a name,” she said looking down at her. She then brought the baby into the living room where she just walked around, she was waiting for her computer to make a noise. She loved to see the baby smile, so she started to play with her.
All of a sudden, she heard “New mail” from the other room and ran over to the computer. She placed the baby down next to her.
Hey Law,
Wow! It sounds like it’s been a little bit busy over there, huh? Lots of drama in your household. I think that if I was had an abandoned baby at my door, I, myself personally, would keep this baby as my own, but you’ve got a family to think of, too. It’s not easy as pie, or a piece of cake.
We’ll talk more on that later, though. I’ll give you a call when I’m out of work, and I’m able to help you out with what we discussed, as well. Love you, sis.
Sincerely,
Holly, aka your best sister, ever!
