Conner apparated outside the Orphanage he had visisted so often while at his uncle's house.

"Well... This is the place..."

He said to Monica. The building was tall, white-washed, and in darkness apart from two torches blazing in the cool night air and a single light in the reception area.

Monica nodded and gripped Conner`s hand tightly. She now felt nervous. What if they will adobt someone who will hate them? What if she will realize that she can`t take care of a child? What if that child remind her of Elis too much, and that will be painful? "Are... are you sure about this?" she asked slowly as steam of hot air stumbled out of her mouth.

Conner stroked the back of Monica's hand gently wit his thumb.

"Are you? We can go home if you want..."

He said, looking at her nervous face.

Monica closed her eyes for a moment and took few breaths. She tried to calm down and think for a moment. Did she wnat that? Yes, she wnat it more than anything. To have someone who she was supposed to have. After a moment she nodded and looked at Conner. "I want this..." she whispered.

Conner looked at her.

"Are you sure, Monica... I don't want you to rush into this without thinking it through properly..."

He asked again, just to make sure this was what she wanted.

"Conner..." Monica breathed out, and steam of air formed again. She turned to him and looked deeply in his eyes. "I`ve had to have her. Elis. She had to be here with me. And... this is the only way to be with her, even if it doesn`t look sane. I lived for 9 months, holding on a hope to be with my daughter. Even we weren`t together. And now as we are... I know this is all I want. To pretend that Elis did born." she spoke, as chill started to bite her fingers.

Conner looked at her.

"Monica... You can't think that this is our Elis... It will be another child..."

He frowned.

"But if you're absolutely sure you want to do this, then let's go..."

He said, pushing open the door for her.

"Bonjour, Monsiour Hellier, Madame... Comment bidon j'aidez?"
Hello Mr Hellier, Missus, how can I help?"

"Parle le Anglais?"
Can you speak English?"

Conner asked. the man nodded.

"Ow may I 'elp?"

He asked brokenly.

"We'd like to adopt a child... right now, and I know which one we're having."

Conner told him with a smile. The man nodded, and ushered them through to a nursery.

"PLeeze... wait 'ere, and I weel get 'er for you, Monsiour."

Monica shook her head. "I don`t mean that I will have her like Elis. I know that no one can change our Elis. Ever. But I won`t have to suffer so hard, knowing that I will have someone. Someone who Elis would have been. Do I make sense?" she rambled, feeling more and more nervous. She wondered who was the child that Conner wanted to see.

Conner laughed and nodded.

"I understand what you're getting at..."

He said, grinning happily, before looking back eagerly at the door. He could hear sniffles.

"I think this is them now..."

He stood up and walked over to the door. He could see the night nursery nurse in the corner, clutching a small handerchief to her eyes. The man who was at the front of the building had a bundle of blankets in his arms and smiled sadly as he unraveled her from the blanket and placed the *child* in Conner's arms.

"Pleeze Monsiour... Take good care of 'er..."

The man said sadly. Conner nodded as he took her to Monica.

"Monica... Meet Elena..."

He said quietly as he said beside her, enabling her to see the sleeping child.

Monica looked at the sleeping girl and could feel how somehting gripped her throat. A huge lump appeared in her stomach too. "Oh my Merlin..." she whispered. "She`s so beautiful... Conner, she`s is too beautiful..." she whispered, looking at her.

"How did you find her?" She whispered. Then she thougth what Elis would have looked like. Then she felt a tear rolling down her face. There were too many emotions inside her.

Conner smiled softly.

"My auntie is one of the patrons of this place, and I helped out a bit... That's when I met Elena... She had hurt her knee in the playground. Just a graze, but she was crying, so I took her indoors to put a band-aid on her... Wouldn't leave me alone after that..."

He chuckled.

"She is beautiful... It's just a shame she had to be here since being 6 weeks old... Her teenage mother left her in the hospital where she was born, so the nurses brought her here... As you can see..."

He nudged his head towards the doorway where the portly man from the reception and the 3 nursery nurses were stood, all crying silently.

"... They've all grown quite attached to her..."

Monica looked around and saw those people crying. She then realized that their feelings got into her and she felt like crying too. Yet she fighted that, and just looked down at the girl again. "Then maybe we shouldn`t take her... I don`t want to steal anyone from anyone..." she said, already thinking how terrible it would be for her if she would have to leave that girl there.

"How... how old is she?" she asked silently.

"She's 2 in a few days... And you wouldn't be stealing her..."

He smiled at Monica as Elena stirred gently in his arms.

"They have people coming in and out everyday, promising kids that they'll come back and get them in a few days, and only a few of them keep to their word... They know me, and they know we'll take good care of her..."

He nodded to the group at the door.

"So what do you think?"

"Conner... she`s amazing..." Monica said, tears in her eyes, She couldn`t believe that that little angel in her boyfriend hands could be her lawful daughter. She bit her lip to stop from crying and sighed. "She`s more than I could have hoped for..."

Monica looked at those people, silenty sobbing by the door, and then down at the girl. "Yeah... totally..." she said feeling happy, sad and confused at once.
