"Thank you so much for rescheduling," Mallory said into the phone. She had an appointment for an interview on a news station, but her day with Lia was more important. Besides, the public didn't need to know about the current case just yet anyway.
She happily walked downstairs to see Lia Googling things about adoption. Mallory kissed her on the cheek and went into the kitchen for breakfast.
"How's the search going?" she called, her head in the freezer.
"Apparently, when adopting, a representative has to come and see our home, and talk to us for awhile. And we can't choose which kids they bring," Lia replied."That's weird. Do we at least get to specify?"
"Yeah. We can choose what age, and gender, at least."
"I don't see how it's a bad idea. Makes it kind of fair to the other kids, really."
"I suppose. Should I set up an appointment?"
"Yeah. Definitely."
Lia set to sending the agency a quick email. She quickly realized that not everything had been talked about. "Two?"
"Two what?"
"Kids."
"Uh... Maybe."
"Think about it. Single children are always spoiled and bratty. Triple children leaves the middle child helpless. Two would be perfect."
Mallory gave it some thought. "Now that I think about it, yeah, that sounds pretty logical. Two, then. But I get to choose the genders!"
Lia started typing again, giggling. "Okay. What'll it be, ma'am?" she said with a teasing tone.
"The older is a girl, the younger a boy." Mallory heard more typing, and then some clicking, and soon Lia was in the kitchen with her.
"And kids we shall have. How about we do some grocery shopping? Maybe they'll have responded by the time we get back," Lia said, grinning.
Mallory smiled back.
