Scanning. Came the AI's voice, then a second later, There does not appear to be a hostile force or any object that may harm you, Sir, or the children outside, sir.

"Shh," Tom soothed, rocking him carefully.

Ben slowly opened the door and looked around a bit. "Fancy game of ding dong ditch?" he muttered and went to close the door but then saw a basket just at his feet. He frowned slightly and knelt down. He moved the blanket a little and saw a baby. His eyes widened and he grabbed the basket. "Jarvis, could you find Tom for me and ask him to meet me in my office?"

David eventually calmed down.

by **feathertail** Tue Dec 08, 2015 12:41 pm

"Of course, sir." Jarvis bowed and went to find Tom.

"You feeling better?" Tom asked.

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Dec 08, 2015 12:42 pm

David nodded.

by **feathertail** Tue Dec 08, 2015 12:47 pm

Tom smiled, and turned as Jarvis appeared and gave him the message. "Run along, okay?" he set his son down with a kiss on his head.

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Dec 08, 2015 12:49 pm

David went off to find his brother.

Ben stood behind his desk, looking down at the baby.

Toom opened the door to the study, shutting it quietly behind him.

Jonathan was curled up withh the panther cubs in front of the fire in the formal living room.

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Dec 08, 2015 12:56 pm

Ben looked up. "Have you ever felt like our life is like the movie Annie?" he asked.

David went and sat down by Jonathan.

by **feathertail** Tue Dec 08, 2015 12:57 pm

Tom frowned. "I've not seen it..."

Jonathan acknowledged him with a blink.

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Dec 08, 2015 12:58 pm

Ben shook his head. "Never mind then. Look what Santa brought us." he said teasingly and gestured to the basket.

by **feathertail** Tue Dec 08, 2015 12:59 pm

Tom stepped forwards, confused, and looked in. He gaped, speechless.

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Dec 08, 2015 1:05 pm

The baby slept peacefully.

Ben held out a note to his partner.

by **feathertail** Tue Dec 08, 2015 1:09 pm

Tom read it carefully.

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Dec 08, 2015 1:10 pm

Please take care of Echo...

"That's all that's written." Ben said.

by **feathertail** Tue Dec 08, 2015 1:16 pm

Tom looked down at the baby. "We're in the middle of nowhere, though,"

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Dec 08, 2015 1:24 pm

"Obviously whoever dropped Echo off knew we were adopting children. Must have seen us going to the orphanage." Ben said. "Or they're hiding this baby from someone."

by **feathertail** Tue Dec 08, 2015 1:25 pm

Tom frowned, and looked down at the baby.

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Dec 08, 2015 1:32 pm

Ben looked at the child too and smiled when it slowly woke up. He stepped forward and smiled more. He brushed the hair out of her face and could feel himself falling in love with this baby.

by **feathertail** Tue Dec 08, 2015 1:56 pm

Tom put the note down.

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Dec 08, 2015 2:05 pm

Ben smiled as Echo grabbed his finger.

by **feathertail** Tue Dec 08, 2015 2:15 pm

Tom smiled as he watched his fiancé with the babe.

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Dec 08, 2015 2:23 pm

"Okay. I'm hooked." Ben said.

by **feathertail** Tue Dec 08, 2015 2:27 pm

"Watch out. Babies are dangerous."

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Dec 08, 2015 2:38 pm

"I have to keep her." Ben said, picking up the child. "I've fallen in love with those blue eyes."

by **feathertail** Tue Dec 08, 2015 3:04 pm

"That's why they're dangerous," Tom sighed, shaking his head in mock disappointment.
