Lauren was beaming with anticipation. She and Cencoir had been talking about adopting a child for quite a while but today was the day. They had found an adoption agency in china that had wizard children and arranged to adopt a baby girl. Her name was Penelope and from the picture they had been sent she was very beautiful. Lauren had always wanted children and since she and cencoir couldn't have any together they decided adoption was the way to go.
She had packed a small suitcase of things they might need. They planned on taking a portkey to china and then she and the child would use floo powder to get home and cencoir would use another portkey. It was just one of the adjustments they had made to live a normal life style together.
She selected the object that would be used, an old portkey and had set it up. All they had to do was touch it and they would be that much closer to being parents. Cencoir walked into her office and she smiled. He looked so handsome. "are you ready to do this" she asked. kissing him on the cheek.

Cancior was both excited and nervus. Both for the same reason. He was on the fast track on becoming a father. He and his blushing bride had decided to adopt. They had been talking about it for awhile now and they just couldn't wait anymore. They were adopting from a orphanage in China, a barely one year old baby girl was waiting for them and today she would be theirs. He walked through the hallway towards Lauren's office pondering the sound of his hooves while he walked. He wondered if he would be a good father to a human baby. He already had to be careful with Lauren, how much more would he have to be with a baby. The image of him treading down a tiny baby girl, his girl, made him swallow hard and he shivered as he got the thought out of his head.
He opened the door to her office and bent down to kiss her. He pondered her question and smiled at her as he answered "as ready as I ever will be" he said quietly and put his arms around her. He kissed her lips softly and ran his fingers through her hair. His hand softly moved to her chin lifting it up and caressing her ear as he deepened the kiss. He loved her so much and sometimes he felt useless to her as they could not be as intamate as most couples. He rested his forehead to hers as the kiss subsided. "I love you soo much" he said with passion. He moved away and brushed a loose strand out of her face. "Let's go" he said and gave her a smile.

Lauren took held cencoirs hand tightly, and counted to three. "Un, deux, trois" she said and they both reached for the portkey. She felt them rush through space and moments later then let go and landed just outside the orphanage in china.
Her heart broke as she saw the run down building that looked far to small for all of its occupants. She wished they could take more, but one was all they were ready for. She sqeazed cencoir's hand more tightly and took a deep breath. They walked toward the building and she hesitantly opened the door. The had chosen a orphanage run by wizards so cencoir would not seem bizzare but she noticed some children were staring and pointing. She didnt care. She loved him anyway.
They found the reception desk and lauren cleared her throat. "Bonjour" she said, "we are the lecaire's we are here to adopt penelope" She waited, not sure what they needed to do.

They grabbed the portkey and mere seconds later they were in china. This never ceced to impress him. He knew how far the earth streached and all it's wonders. He would never take that for granted. He also knew that some wizards had no idea how big the world really was due to their ability to pop in and out of countries in a heart beat. He was not so fortunate as to have that power so he relied on his wife or the gowernmet to get around magically.
He watched the small children run around in front of the run down home. He smiled at them even though most of them were wary of him and some even pointed, others ran away but they all noticed. He had never, not once since he left the herd, gone unnoticed for long.
They walked into the beaten down home and Lauren talked to the woman. Cencior got to feel how small chines people really were a few times. He was constantly bumping his head on chandeliers or low parts of the ceiling, even though he was already bent down quite a bit.
The woman by the counter who had introduced herself as Kimmy Yoo-Na gave him a wary look and asked them to follow her into her office to sign some papers. They followed her through the small house. Through hallways that were almost too small for him to pass through. They came to the office and he actiually had to squeeze through the door a little bit. He pulled out the chair for Lauren to sit on and then sat on the floor next to it. Even though his head was then still higher than Laurens.
The woman gave them a big stack of papers for them to sign and explained what each page said and where to sign. They did as she said and in about twenty minutes they were finished with the stack. He held Laurens hand under the table and flashed her a small smile.

The young couple was handed what seemed to be the most paper work Lauren had ever seen in her life. She took a deep breath and helped cencoir fill out every form taking care to be accurate. After what seemed like a decade but was only 20 minuets they finished and Lauren beamed. They were now so close to getting their daughter. She held cencoirs hand tightly, knowing he could handle her dainty grip.
Lauren stood up and went to hand the papers over to the woman.
She couldn't believe this moment was finally here. The next step would be to meet the child. They had been sent a picture but this would be the first time they actually met her.
Lauren was extreamly nervous. She wondered if the child would like her. She loved children so much and had always wanted to be a mother.
"Can we meet her now" she asked, trying not to sound impatient. It was just so exciting.

He gave Lauren a quick smile as she asked the woman if they could see her now. Then his eyes moved to the woman with a hopeful smile. The woman looked at him through her tiny asian eyes with contempt and disapprovement. He could sense that she didn't want a centaur raising one of the children. He guessed that she didn't know how much better she would have it with them than here. In fact they could take over all the children here and would still do a better job and give them a better life than they had now. The woman stood up after a moment and muttered something in chinease. "Come" she said with a heavy accent and tarted to walk out of the room.
He stood up with a little fuss and took his wife's hand leading her out of the room and into the hallway. They followed the woman to a room down the hall filled with play-pens and toys. The door was way to small for him to enter so he had to stay in the hallway and watch through the door. But he recognised her right away. She sat there on the floor playing with blocks. His heart mealted that instance and the worry and dread were sweapt away. A tear started to form in the corner of his eyes and he smiled as the small girl on the floor looked up at the newcomers. This was his daughter.
He smiled as the woman handed Lauren their little angel. It looked so right and felt so right. They were a family and they belonged together.

Lauren could tell from the moment they entered the room with the children in it which one was Penny. She looked just a beautiful as she had in the photo. A smile crept up on her face and tears of happiness began to stream down her face. She put her hand around cencoir's strong body and hugged him tightly, still in disbelief. She looked into his eyes and saw that he was crying as well. She kissed him smiled.
The woman handed the child to her and Lauren cradled her in her arms letting the girl rest her head on her shoulder. It felt so natural and right. She kissed the top of her tiny little head. She was so young and innocent. And she was theirs.
"Bonjour Penelope" she whispered to the little girl. "Je t'aime"
She held her up so she was at eye level with cenoir and said, "Thats papa, can you say papa?"
Holding the tiny girl felt so perfect. Lauren still couldn't believe she was this childs mother now. It was a dream come true.
