{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Characters Needed: Katie, Abby, Fin Characters Requested: Anyone, but after Fin tells them. Plot: Fin comes by the school to talk to Katie and Abby about adopting them, since Katie is too young to adopt Abby, and because of her arrest, she can't adopt. After they file papers, the thread will be about their family and Katie's pregnancy Notes: This involves Broken-Winged Bird and Boys and Found. Katie is five months pregnant, by Julio's baby, and Julio and his friends are in jail and it's June, and the school year is nearly over. Katie is dating John, and he comes over most nights, since his mom has been hospitalized and he spends his days with her.

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Kate left the school building and with other parents or siblings of the kids in the daycare, walked past Food Services, a building where everyone on campus ate, even the babies. The next building Child Services, with the child care center, and the parenting information, and you could even get baby supplies there, from diapers to strollers. She and the other teenagers went in, and Katie was surprised as she saw Abby and Fin. He was swinging her around and then he stopped, collapsing to the floor with the two year old, but he was smiling. He was fine.
Abby, her energy never ending, jumped up when she saw Katie. She ran over yelling, "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!"
The young mother dropped her bag and dropped to her knees and the little girl ran into them, and Katie picked her up, kissing her.
She sat down with her Abby in her lap, and the baby in her belly, and she said, "How was your day sweetie?"
"I got to do the weather! And I got it all right! And we were talking about Daddies, and I told them about Fin. Is that okay, Mommy?" Katie nodded, "Of course it is, he's just like your daddy. He takes care of you, and changes your diapers, and plays with you and kisses you goodnight, and today, he beat me here! So yeah, he's like your Daddy." "Can I call him Daddy?" "You'll have to ask him that, honey." Abby nodded and Katie moved her hand underneath her to feel if she needed a change. Abby shook her head, and said, "Fin changed me already, Mommy. He was making faces." She giggled. Katie laughed and looked up at Fin. By that time, he had recovered from the hurricane named Abby, and had come over.
"So, Dad, what's cooking? Why are you here so early?"
As far as she knew, he hadn't been home last night, and she would have figured he'd be asleep instead of picking them up. She did appreciate the ride, of course. Normally, the mother and daughter would catch the school's bus to the train station, since they were in a rural part of New York. It was just outsid the city, though. Then they'd catch the subway, and then walk home, very slowly, because Abby's stroller was broken, and despite her boyfriend and father looking at it, it couldn't be fixed. And Katie couldn't carry Abby the whole way, since she really wasn't supposed to be carrying anything around.
Maybe it was her doctors appointment for the baby? But he could have left a note to tell her to come in and tell him how it went.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"I want to talk to you about something. I've been thinking about it for a long time now. Talked to one of my old friends, P.L. Rothberg. She practices adoption law and has for years." Fin replied slowly. "I want to adopt you and Katie and the new baby if possible. P. L. thinks I can do it. Singles adopt all the time now. I need to know what you think about being Katie Tutuola and Abby being a Tutuola too. I ain't trying to take you from being her mother, I just want to be her father and yours and the new babies. It gives us something permanent and opens up things for you, Abby and the new baby, too."
Fin ceased speaking unsure of what Katie would think.

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Katie was touched. "I'd love that, Dad. What do you think, honey? Want Fin to be your Daddy?"
Abby frowned thinking, then she slid off her mother's lap and studied Fin, circling him rather like a vulture. Then a smile burst out onto her face and she cried, "YES!" and ran to him, hugging and kissing him.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin breathed a sigh of relief.
"OK, then I will get the paperwork started. There will be interviews and a home inspection. I'm already starting to look into a vacancy in a 3 bedroom on the 4th floor. It has 2 and one half baths. I've got references lined up, too. I think we can get this done."

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}She smiled. "This is great, Dad. And we're gonna need the extra bedroom and bathrooms. I'm having twins. A boy and a girl. So, I figure, you get whatever room you want, and the twins and Abby get the bigger one of whichever is left over, and I get the last one."
Abby asked, "What's twins, Mommy?" "Two babies born at the same time to the same Mommy. Sometimes there are two of the same gender, and they look alike, but ours are a boy and a girl who look different."
She looked up at her father and said, "The doctor said there could be C-O-M-P-L-I-C-A-T-I-O-N-S if I don't start B-E-D-R-E-S-T tomorrow, and eat right, and have no S-T-R-E-S-S."

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}She laughed. "Yes, Dad. It's most definately twins. Can you take over for A-B-B-Y so the B-E-D-R-E-S-T is possible?"

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin was so amzed at the thought of twins that he barely heard the word bedrest. Finally it clicked.
"Bedrest, ok." Fin said quickly. "We need to get you home now. I will enlist Jean to give us a hand in shifts. I gotta arrange for ya to study at home and get busy with that lawyer."
Fin found his head spinning. He loved Katie and Abby and now there was gonna be two new addidtions. Mentally, Fin made a to do list. He gave up when he couldn't make heads or tails of what he was thinkin.
"Katie, let's get home and get you to bed."Fin finally said. "Then we can plan how this will go down for the next months."
Loading Katie and Abby into the car, Fin left a message on Jean's cell.

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Abby, who had been listening, asked, "Why does Mommy need bedrest?"
Oh, great. Katie said, "Because when people have twins, they need lots and lots of rest for the babies."
"The doctor said I'm not allowed to have S-T-R-E-S-S and I have to eat better."

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin pulled up in front of the apartment building and assisted Katie out of the car, then he unbuckled Abby and grabbed her diaper bag.
"Katie, let's get you upstairs and into your bedroom NOW." Fin said quickly.
Thankfully they lived on the second floor and he had Katie and Abby upstairs quickly.
"Go get in bed and lay down now Katie," Fin commanded. "I will set up a play area for Abby in your room. I'm off tommorrow and will call Rothberg the adoption lawyer, Jean again to enlist her help and that Queens real estate agent. I see a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house in our future"
As Katie got ready to lay down, Fin began to move toys and some coloring books into Katie's bedroom. Abby toddled along beside him. He stopped once to leave another message on Jean's cell.

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Katie climbed onto her bed, on top of the covers, and she propped her pillows so she could sit up easily. When her dad stepped out to call Jean, she lifted Abby up onto her bed, along with her toys and coloring books. Abby crawled up to Katie's side, and curled up and fell asleep. Katie leaned back onto the pillows and stroked Abby's hair gently.

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean awoke with a start. Fallen asleep, at her desk. Again. No wonder her back always hurt. She heard her cell bleeping, and quickly listened to the message, before breaking out into a broad grin and a whoop of laughter, which sent curious glances her way. She quickly redialled Fin, as she tried to wipe away the sleep that had formed.

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean nodded into the phone, and collected her coat, scrawling a message to let Elliot know where she'd disappeared to.
"Sure thing. And congrats Grandad!" She said, smiling, as she hurried down to the garage.
