Chapter 2 - The baby in the basket #1

It was late in the evening,with two people walking towards a narrow path discreetly.

After dropping the basket on the path and making sure it was secure,they disappeared from the scene and reappeared on the tree above watching the basket the kept on the ground.

Are you sure the couple would walk through this path today Jeff it is way past their routine.

Matilda questioned impatiently.

They will...he was cut off when he heard a sound not too far away from them.

They are here he announced while Matilda became more nervous as she set her sights onto the not too elderly couple coming.

Oh Mark how good would it be if we adopted a baby,we are not getting young anymore Julia asked her husband as the walked home after coming back from a stroll.

What ever you want honey,as long as it makes you happy then I'm happy Mark assured while looking at her with love.

They laughed as the went through some of the events that happened during the day.

Suddenly they stopped when the heard a crying sound.

Realizing the sound was coming from a basket they walked past without noticing it was there earlier.

The walked back to the basket and while Mark was still contemplating if it would be a wise decision to open the basket,Julia stretched out her hand and took off the cover.

The both gasped seeing that it was truly a baby that was in the basket.

Joy,relief,happiness,fear they didn't know which emotion to fully feel without the other trying to over take.

Julia pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming,Mark she called out.

Is this really happening she asked and

Mark who was still reeling from the shock snapped out as he heard the question.

We are truly going to become parents Julia shouted as Mark put a hand over her mouth to prevent her from shouting.
