My heart was uneasy.

I looked at the clock and it was 1 in the morning.

I got up and went to get a glass of water down the stairs.

I came back up and saw the lights on. I could see it under from the under crack on his door.

I went inside his room and saw him all dressed up. Packing things in his little trolly that he bought home with him.

I asked, "Oli, what are you doing?"

He stopped and turned around to look at me. His eyes were red.

Why was he crying?

He said"I'm getting ready to go back"

"Go back where, honey?"

"Back to the orphanage."

"What?!"

I felt Liams hands on my shoulder from behind.

Liam asked, "Oliver, why are you going back there?"

He shrugged and said"Because mommy will have another baby. I've learned it from the orphanage and sometimes the adopted parents give children back there."

Emily kneeled in front of him and said: "Who told you that?"

"Gracie. A girl in the orphanage. Her sister was adopted and then the parents got a new boy. So, they gave her back"

Tears were in her eyes.

She held onto his tiny shoulders. Liam kneeled beside her. She said"Oliver, you're my son. My Oli. And there's no power in the world that could make me send you back. You're not Oliver White anymore. You're Oliver Knight. Our son. And we're your parents. You understand that?"

He started crying and said, "I thought you guys will give me away."

Liam wiped his thick tears and said"Oliver we would never do that. We love you too much."

Emily looked in his eyes and said"I'm your mother. Okay, Oli? And the next baby, boy or girl will be your brother or sister and you will protect the baby. You understand me. Like a brother, you'll protect it from everything bad. Okay? Would you like to be a brother, baby?"

He nodded his head quickly and wiped his tears asking"You promise that you won't give me away?" Emily said, "I would die than give you away."

Emily pulled his tiny body on to her chest. Hugging him tightly.

Liam hugged both of them.

After all the hugging and telling him that he will stay with them forever, he slept with a smile on his face.

Emily walked into their room. And Liam was already in bed waiting for her.

She climbed on him, straddling him and lying on his chest.

He cupped her face and asked, "You okay?"

She broke into a cry and rubbed her chest saying"My heart hurts. He thought we'll give him away. That I'll give him away. I would never do that."

"Baby, I know. We would never. We love him"

"I really do."

He wiped her tears on her cheek and said"I can't wait, honestly. I can't wait to be a father again. I can't wait to see them both grow up into someone beautiful. And I promise I'll give them the love of a father that I never had and I know you'll do that too. Give them the love of a mother that we could never have"

She smiled and hugged him. Her head in his chest and his arms wrapped around her. He kissed on top of her head and spoke"The nightmare is over. It's time to live with happiness". She smiled and said"I love you"

"And I love you"

He kissed her again.
