Steve came home two days later.<\/p>\n
Not our home.<\/p>\n
The hotel first.<\/p>\n
The cardiologist wanted him nearby for one more night before clearing him for the drive back.<\/p>\n
Greg transformed our room into a recovery ward within fifteen minutes.<\/p>\n
Michael watched him arrange medication.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou realize there is an actual hospital three blocks away.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith actual professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m following discharge instructions.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou labeled the syringes by minute.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAccuracy matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael looked at me.<\/p>\n
I shook my head.<\/p>\n
\u201cChoose your battles.\u201d<\/p>\n
Susan had been returned to us as well.<\/p>\n
The reunion was anticlimactic.<\/p>\n
I expected something sentimental.<\/p>\n
Instead Susan sniffed Steve twice, stepped on his tail, and attempted to steal his blanket.<\/p>\n
Greg looked offended on Steve\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe missed him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cClearly,\u201d Michael said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe did.\u201d<\/p>\n
Susan bit the corner of the towel.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeeply.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg ignored him.<\/p>\n
Steve slept most of the evening.<\/p>\n
His breathing was different.<\/p>\n
Slower.<\/p>\n
Easier.<\/p>\n
Every few minutes, Greg looked over to confirm it.<\/p>\n
Eventually I said, \u201cYou\u2019re counting.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re moving your lips.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m chewing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have no food.\u201d<\/p>\n
He stopped.<\/p>\n
Michael laughed from the other bed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to miss this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg looked at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re flying back tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou could stay another day.\u201d<\/p>\n
The words escaped before Greg caught them.<\/p>\n
Michael smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cI could.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg waited.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I shouldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
A week earlier, that answer would have hurt him.<\/p>\n
Now he nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cWork?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWork. Also Claire.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg\u2019s eyebrows moved.<\/p>\n
He controlled them heroically.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael stared at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re doing the face.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat face?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe one where you have fourteen questions.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI have maybe six.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cKeep them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael looked genuinely impressed.<\/p>\n
I laughed.<\/p>\n
The following morning, Steve was cleared for travel.<\/p>\n
Before we left, Dr. Singh\u2019s colleague at the surgical center showed us the new images.<\/p>\n
The abnormal blood flow had been corrected.<\/p>\n
Steve\u2019s heart would need monitoring as he grew, but the prognosis was encouraging.<\/p>\n
Greg asked whether Steve could live a normal life.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the goal,\u201d the cardiologist said.<\/p>\n
\u201cRunning?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cClimbing?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably more than you want.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNormal lifespan?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have every reason to hope for one.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg smiled.<\/p>\n
There was that word again.<\/p>\n
Hope.<\/p>\n
He was learning to live with it.<\/p>\n
On the drive home, Michael took the first shift.<\/p>\n
Greg sat beside me this time.<\/p>\n
The kittens rode secured behind us.<\/p>\n
For almost an hour, nobody spoke.<\/p>\n
Then Greg said, \u201cI want to keep them.\u201d<\/p>\n
I looked at him.<\/p>\n
Michael glanced at us in the mirror but said nothing.<\/p>\n
Greg continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that isn\u2019t necessarily what we should do.\u201d<\/p>\n
I waited.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just wanted to say it plainly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s allowed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI want Susan.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEven with the name?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEspecially.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Steve?\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg looked backward.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
His voice softened.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery much.\u201d<\/p>\n
I touched his hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo do I.\u201d<\/p>\n
He turned.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou do?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why don\u2019t we?\u201d<\/p>\n
There it was.<\/p>\n
The temptation.<\/p>\n
We could.<\/p>\n
Nobody could stop us from applying to adopt.<\/p>\n
We had the house.<\/p>\n
The resources.<\/p>\n
The experience.<\/p>\n
And we already loved them.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause another family wants them too.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat doesn\u2019t automatically make them better.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know their medical history.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know their routine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSteve trusts us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re making a terrible argument against me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not arguing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaking sure we admit what we want before deciding what they need.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg looked out the window.<\/p>\n
Michael finally spoke.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sounds annoying.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is,\u201d Greg said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI grew up with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo did I,\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou married it,\u201d Michael said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy choice,\u201d Greg added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was young.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg smiled.<\/p>\n
By afternoon, Michael had to leave us at the airport for his return flight.<\/p>\n
Greg hugged him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael shrugged.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor driving?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFor coming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael\u2019s expression changed.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnytime.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg shook his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo do I.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg placed both hands on our son\u2019s shoulders.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome when you want. Not because you think I need checking.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then he hugged Greg again.<\/p>\n
This time Greg was the first to let go.<\/p>\n
That mattered too.<\/p>\n
We arrived home late.<\/p>\n
The house smelled stale after several days away.<\/p>\n
I opened windows.<\/p>\n
Greg carried the kittens into the guest room.<\/p>\n
He stopped in the doorway.<\/p>\n
The old rocking chair waited.<\/p>\n
Michael\u2019s blanket lay folded where we had left it.<\/p>\n
For the first time since this began, the room did not feel like a nursery resurrected from the past.<\/p>\n
It was simply a room where two animals temporarily needed care.<\/p>\n
Temporary.<\/p>\n
The word still hurt.<\/p>\n
Saturday came quickly.<\/p>\n
The prospective adopters arrived at eleven.<\/p>\n
Their names were Nina and Robert.<\/p>\n
They had a twelve-year-old daughter, Lily.<\/p>\n
Greg had been unbearable all morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are they bringing a child?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause she lives with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe might handle Steve incorrectly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is twelve.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt twelve, Emma was babysitting.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was different.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew Emma.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stared at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou understand we generally do not know strangers before meeting them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m aware.\u201d<\/p>\n
The doorbell rang.<\/p>\n
Greg looked toward the guest room.<\/p>\n
\u201cToo late to cancel?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI could say Steve had a setback.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat would be lying.\u201d<\/p>\n
He sighed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hate personal growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
I opened the door.<\/p>\n
Nina was warm without being overfamiliar.<\/p>\n
Robert carried a small notebook.<\/p>\n
Lily stood between them holding nothing.<\/p>\n
I noticed that immediately.<\/p>\n
No toy.<\/p>\n
No treat.<\/p>\n
No attempt to win the kittens.<\/p>\n
Denise had apparently instructed them well.<\/p>\n
Greg noticed too.<\/p>\n
We sat in the living room first.<\/p>\n
Nina explained that their cat of seventeen years had died the previous winter.<\/p>\n
They had waited before considering another.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy two?\u201d Greg asked.<\/p>\n
His tone was dangerously close to an interview.<\/p>\n
Nina smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause Denise said they were siblings.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean they need to stay together.\u201d<\/p>\n
I looked at him.<\/p>\n
He ignored me.<\/p>\n
Robert nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSteve has a heart condition.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe may need follow-up care.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robert opened the notebook.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have the cardiology schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg blinked.<\/p>\n
I almost smiled.<\/p>\n
He had met his match.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat veterinarian do you use?\u201d<\/p>\n
Robert gave the name.<\/p>\n
Greg knew the clinic.<\/p>\n
Apparently it passed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if Steve needs another procedure?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll do what our veterinarian recommends.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if it\u2019s expensive?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nina\u2019s expression remained calm.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve discussed that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Lily?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg looked at the girl.<\/p>\n
She had been quiet.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily considered him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think if we adopt an animal, we\u2019re responsible for taking care of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg stared at her.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if it\u2019s hard?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if he doesn\u2019t like you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy wouldn\u2019t he like me?\u201d<\/p>\n
I laughed.<\/p>\n
Greg almost did.<\/p>\n
Then she added, \u201cHe doesn\u2019t have to like me right away.\u201d<\/p>\n
That answer seemed to affect him.<\/p>\n
We brought them into the guest room.<\/p>\n
Susan immediately marched toward Lily.<\/p>\n
There was no dignity in it.<\/p>\n
She stumbled twice, recovered, and attacked a shoelace.<\/p>\n
Lily sat on the floor without touching her.<\/p>\n
Greg watched.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo ahead,\u201d he finally said.<\/p>\n
Lily held out one finger.<\/p>\n
Susan sniffed it.<\/p>\n
Then bit it.<\/p>\n
Lily laughed.<\/p>\n
Greg\u2019s mouth twitched.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe does that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steve stayed near the blanket.<\/p>\n
Robert crouched several feet away.<\/p>\n
He did not reach for him.<\/p>\n
After a while, Steve moved forward.<\/p>\n
One step.<\/p>\n
Then another.<\/p>\n
Greg stopped breathing.<\/p>\n
Steve reached Robert\u2019s shoe and sniffed it.<\/p>\n
Robert remained still.<\/p>\n
Eventually Steve climbed partly onto his ankle.<\/p>\n
I looked at Greg.<\/p>\n
His eyes had filled.<\/p>\n
He turned away.<\/p>\n
I followed him into the kitchen.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
I waited.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re good.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI was hoping they wouldn\u2019t be.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat makes me terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt makes this harder.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
He leaned against the counter.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can find reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have stairs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo do we.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey both work.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo did we when our children were babies.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe girl is young.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s twelve.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019ll go to college someday.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg glared.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are not helping.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not supposed to help you invent reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n
He closed his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI love them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo why does loving them mean I\u2019m supposed to hand them to somebody else?\u201d<\/p>\n
I thought carefully.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
He opened his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe could keep them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou mean that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
His expression shifted.<\/p>\n
I continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can apply. We can tell Denise we want them permanently.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg stared at me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why are we doing this?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause keeping them should be a choice, not proof that you succeeded.\u201d<\/p>\n
He looked toward the guest room.<\/p>\n
I lowered my voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou saved Steve.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. The surgeons\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know what I mean.\u201d<\/p>\n
He nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou got him out of the dirt. You got him help. You paid part of his treatment. You sat beside him.\u201d<\/p>\n
My throat tightened.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut none of that means he owes you the rest of his life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg\u2019s face crumpled slightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
I touched his arm.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is the part you\u2019ve been learning.\u201d<\/p>\n
He looked down.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Michael left, I felt like I\u2019d done something wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou hadn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Emma stopped calling about every problem, I thought she trusted me less.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe trusted herself more.\u201d<\/p>\n
He nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd now these two.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
He laughed bitterly.<\/p>\n
\u201cApparently the universe lacks subtlety.\u201d<\/p>\n
From the guest room came Lily\u2019s laughter.<\/p>\n
Then Susan\u2019s sharp little squeak.<\/p>\n
Greg wiped his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cGive me a minute.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stayed beside him.<\/p>\n
After a while, he straightened.<\/p>\n
We returned.<\/p>\n
Steve had climbed into Robert\u2019s lap.<\/p>\n
Greg stopped in the doorway.<\/p>\n
Robert looked up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t pick him up.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe came over.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg walked across the room.<\/p>\n
He crouched.<\/p>\n
Steve looked at him.<\/p>\n
For one second, I expected the kitten to move toward Greg.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
He settled against Robert.<\/p>\n
Greg smiled.<\/p>\n
It was a painful smile.<\/p>\n
But real.<\/p>\n
After the family left, Denise called.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did it go?\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg answered.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stared at him.<\/p>\n
Denise laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you liked them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you want time?\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg looked at me.<\/p>\n
I nodded.<\/p>\n
He looked toward the kittens.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUntil tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFine.\u201d<\/p>\n
That night, Greg slept badly.<\/p>\n
So did I.<\/p>\n
At three in the morning, I woke and found him beside me.<\/p>\n
He was awake.<\/p>\n
Not downstairs.<\/p>\n
Not hiding.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan\u2019t sleep?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThinking?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWant to talk?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
I smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ten minutes passed.<\/p>\n
Then he said, \u201cI think they should go.\u201d<\/p>\n
I turned toward him.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re sure?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat seems to be becoming your favorite answer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI hate it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
He stared at the ceiling.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we keep them because I can\u2019t stand goodbye, then everything I said about helping them was partly a lie.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot a lie.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSelfish.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are allowed to want things.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
He turned toward me.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I want to know I can do this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo what?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLove something without requiring it to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n
I took his hand beneath the blanket.<\/p>\n
For a long time, neither of us spoke.<\/p>\n
Then Greg whispered, \u201cCall Denise tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
I squeezed his fingers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll call together.\u201d<\/p>\n
He nodded.<\/p>\n
In the morning, before we could make the call, Denise called us.<\/p>\n
Her voice was cautious.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe family wants them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg closed his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth.\u201d<\/p>\n
He swallowed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs soon as they\u2019re medically cleared.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greg looked toward the guest room.<\/p>\n
Steve was recovering well.<\/p>\n
Susan was already strong.<\/p>\n
The date we had feared now had shape.<\/p>\n
Ten days.<\/p>\n
Ten more mornings.<\/p>\n
Ten more nighttime feedings.<\/p>\n
Ten more days of being needed.<\/p>\n
Then the job would end.<\/p>\n
