{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin figured he had about 10 minutes before Jean got there. Sitting down at the kitchen table, he called Rothberg the adoption attorney and then called the Realtor that Elliot had recommended.
I gotta move quickly here, He thought, or else we will be crammed in here like sardines.

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean just about managed to pull up outside Fin's without killing herself, and jogged up to his apartment. She knocked on the door, and pushed it open gently, as she stuck her head around.
"Fin, it's Jean! Congrats people!" She called, as she wandered towards the shouted greeting.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"I'm in the kitchen, Jean." Fin replied to Jean's greeting. "I got an appointment to look at 2 houses in Elliot's neighborhood at 4pm. I was looking to move to a 3 bedroom upstairs but I think with the present circumstances, I need a house with at least 4 bedrooms and 2 and one half baths. Ya free to watch out for Katie and Abby while I go look at them? One is next door to Elliot and Kathy the other is one block north. I see the adoption attorney in the morning to get the process started to adopt. Ya free then?" Fin smirked. "I need a nanny."

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean pretended to think about his question.
"Uh, you know, I guess for you and the girls, I could squeeze in some time!" She said, entering the kitchen with a grin.
"And nice choices. Although, do ya really wanna live that close to Elliot? He'll be 'round all the time, bothering you and what not!" She said, not being able to resist taking a whack at her friends while she had the chance.
"Are you gonna be adopting Katie and Abby? Double congrats! Or, should that be triple, what with the twins?" She asked, smiling broadly.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin grinned at Jean's remark about Elliot.
"I could handle El as a neighbor. He had twins and he and Kathy could let me know what to expect. Hell, I'm gonna need all the help I can get. Ya know I appreciate yours. Yes, I plan on adopting Katie, Abby and the twins. I know it's right and I'm gonna do all I can to make it happen."

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}"Well, if ya ever need, like, a character reference or whatever, I'm here if ya need me. Promise I won't be too harsh!" She teased, gently, as she sat down at the table.
"At least you'll know the future's reasonably secure, what with you then being legal guardian over Katie, Abby and the twins. At least if, god forbid, anything happened, you'd all be in the clear."

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"Thanks, Jean, for the reference offer. I'm gonna take you up on it." Fin said, gratefully. "Once everyone in this place has my name, you are correct, they will be protected in the event something awful happens. If nothing awful ever happens, they will still benefit. New York City Cops have the best insurance in the State of New York, add to that scholarship opportunities for college, the Police Academy or any other school and my gangs possibilities are endless."
Fin fell silent for a moment and then began speaking again.
"Can ya hang out here with Katie and Abby while I look at these houses? Katie is allowed up to use the bathroom only. She was sleeping but can ya check now to see if she still is." Fin questioned.

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean nodded, with a smile.
"Sure thing Super-Fin. I need to congratulate Katie anyway, and work out how much I can spoil her before either she or you gets fed up, and decides to shoot me!" She joked, with a laugh.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin broke out in a full fledged grin at Jean's last remark.
"I ain't gonna shoot ya, but I may shoot myself if I don't get this family in order and in a bigger house." Fin replied. "I'm gonna head out and trust ya to keep my girls in line."
Fin grabbed his leather jacket and his keys and headed quickly out the door, down to his car and took off for Queens. He was meeting the Realtor at the house next door to Elliot's first.

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean grinned, and waved as Fin took off, before standing up and making her way over to Katie's room. She knocked gently on the door, so as not to disturb her if she was still sleeping, and then peeped her head around the door, smiling as she spotted the two of them curled up on the bed.

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}"Nothing much. Just wanted to see if you were still sleeping, and let ya know Fin's gone out to look at houses. Asked me to sit with ya. Or, should that be, keep an eye on the bedrest?" Jean joked, lightly, murmouring slightly.

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Katie rolled her eyes. "My father worries too much." She motioned for Jean to join her on the bed. "Come on, join us. Did my dad tell you about the twins?"

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Jean nodded, a smile on her face, as she walked in gently.
"Yes! Congrats! Are you excited?" She asked, as she sat on the bed, with a grin from ear to ear.

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Katie nodded. "I'm excited and nervous. Half the time, I have no clue what to do with Abby, but then two new babies? And I don't think Abby is too fond of getting a brother and sister."
