I woke up to find the bed empty. At first I thought nothing of it. Then I remembered what happened yesterday. My eyes widened and I ran into the bathroom. I found it empty. Flying down the stairs and almost tripping, I saw her making breakfast. I smiled at her and she looked up at me. I noticed her look down and start laughing. I looked down at myself and realize in my rush a ran down here without any clothes on. I felt my face flushed as I turned around and ran back up stairs. I put some pants on and came back down stairs. I hugged her from behind and said,"Good morning! How are you feeling today?" She giggled and said,"I'm good, and did you know that your butt jiggles when you run?" She started laughing really hard where tears were going down her face. I couldn't even pretend I was mad when she was laughing like this. I laughed along and helped her put breakfast on plates and she asked,"Why did you come running down here so quick anyways?" I sighed, wishing she didn't ask. Replying quietly,"I was worried because you weren't in bed and I didn't know where you went. I thought maybe you regretted last night or maybe, you felt the way you did-" I was caught off guard when she launched herself into my arms and just hugged me. She snuggled into my neck and said,"Don't be insecure babe, you were great." I smiled and said,"You weren't so bad yourself." She rolled her eyes and pulled away after pecking my cheek.

We finished breakfast and decided to go out. We went to the mall and went to go shopping. We shopped for hours until it was time for lunch. We ate from a Chinese place, can't remember the name. When we were exiting the mall, a couple walked in with a stroller. Logan thought I didn't notice, but I saw her watch them and her eyes watered. Knowing that she looked at that couple with that baby wishing she could have that killed me inside. We were planning on going to the movies, but I had a better idea. An adoption agency.

On the way to the movies, my mind flashed images of the people with the small rosy cheeked baby. She was adorable with a small tuft of blond hair on her head with her eyes closed sleeping soundly. I was distracted in my own thoughts I didn't even notice we had pulled up but when I glanced up we weren't at the movies. "Really?!" I asked, hoping he wouldn't change his mind. He nodded and I squealed, rushing out of the car quickly. He came over next to me and whispered "Are you sure were ready for this?" I nodded and said,"Together, we can do anything." With that, he grabbed my hand and we went into the adoption center.
