Sisters help each other

Characters for this chapter: Melissa, Spencer, and Wren

*Sunday June 12th*

Melissa's POV

Wren and I just got back from church. His parents go every single Sunday and we go with them most of the time. I remember going to church with my parents and Spencer when were younger. Once I got old enough to stay home alone we didn't go to church as much because our parents were out of town a lot for work. Wren and I ate lunch together. After lunch we watched a marathon of Chicago Med.

"I don't know how you do that everyday at work." I said

"Thankfully I'm not in the emergency department every single shift." Wren said

"What made you want to become a doctor?" I asked

"I wanted to help people but mostly because my dad didn't give me much of a choice. He wanted both of his sons to be doctors no matter if we wanted to or not." Wren said

"Do you know your work schedule for this week and possibly next so I can try to schedule an appointment with that adoption counselor your mom knows?" I asked

"Mostly 3 PM to 11 PM except for Friday I go in at noon and Saturday I'm working 7 AM to noon." Wren said

"Are we sure we want to adopt?" I asked

"Personally I think we should try to have a baby ourselves for a little longer but it doesn't hurt to meet with the adoption councilor." Wren said

"It's been 6 months Wren and I'm not pregnant yet." I said

I called the adoption councilor and  we had an appointment by Wednesday (June 15). She came to our house so we could get the first interview and home visit all done at once.

"Melissa said you two really wanted a baby but would you be open to adopting a school age kid?" She asked

" I am but I'm not sure about Melissa." Wren said

"If we were to adopt a school age kid now would we be able to adopt a baby in the future?" I asked

"Of course but I will recommend that if you do adopt a school age kid that you wait a year before adopting a baby." She said

"Why is that?" I asked

"Some of these kids come from really bad homes plus you would want to make sure the kid you adopted doesn't mind if you were to adopt a baby." She said

"Melissa doesn't think it will happen but we have been trying to have a baby of our own for the last 6 months." Wren said

"What would happen if Melissa did get pregnant because adoption is a commitment?" She asked

"We would still love the kid we adopted just as much as our own child." I said

"If it was before the adoption was finalized you would still want to go through with the adoption?" She asked

"Yes, we wouldn't even be considering adoption if we were not 100 percent sure it's something we want." Wren said

"As far as jobs go, Wren your a doctor and Melissa is currently looking for work? Who would watch the kid if you both had to work at the same time?" She asked

"My parents or my brother and sister in law." Wren said

"At least for now financially when I find a job I only plan on it being part time." I said
