Lost it all.

The kids were all very shy, they looked at me and waved, but continued to walk.
"Hello, adopting?"
"Yes." Aphrodite said. "A baby boy."
"Toddler?" She nods. "You together?"
"She's my best friend." I said. "Just come to give moral support." The lady nods.
"Follow me, ladies." We follow the lady to a room filled with adorable and pretty loud kids. Aphrodite smiled as she saw a small little boy with black hair run by her. "Alright, kids." They all turn to her. "It's time to go get ready for dinner." They whine, but a supervisor came along and the kids created a line. The woman turns around and smiles. "What do you have in mind?" I cringe at her question. It sounds like we're shopping for a wedding dress or shoes or something, not adopting human.
"A boy, around four years old." Aphrodite said. The lady nods. "We actually have a boy that just turned four this week, such a sweetie." She says, as she walked. "His parents left him in the door, and he's been here since then. He can be quite a handful, but he's just always ready for adventure." She opens a door where all the little kids were enjoying some pasta. "Malcolm, please come here, sweetie." A little boy with brown hair stood up and walked towards us along with a young girl. His blue eyes bleamed as he saw the both of looking at him. "Hi." He says, quietly.
"Hey little guy." Aphrodite squats and looks straight into his eyes. "You have really pretty eyes." Malcolm smiles, shyly. "Thank you." He says. He was adorable.
"Come walk with me Malcolm." She holds her hand out and Malcolm immediately grabs it, and they walk towards the hallway. I waited and even helped with the kids and kept them down. They were so energetic, I felt free around them.
"Miss... She took my dolly." A little girl with brown hair said, as she pulled my shirt. The other girl, a blonde, had a doll, playing with it and talking softly. I walk with her towards the other girl and I squat.
"Is this her dolly?" I asked her.
"Yes." She said softly.
"Do you think it's nice to take things?" She shakes her head. "Why don't you guys share?" They look at me confused.
"But you have another doll." I said to the girl with blonde hair. "Give me her." She shakes her head, but then she hands it to me. I sit on the small table and grab both dolls.
"Hi! I'm Megan and I like running! You?" I said in a small and high pitch girl.
"I do too! Maybe we can be running buddies!" I changed my voice a lower octave. I made the dolls run and the two little girls giggled. "Continue the story." I said to both of them, handing them the dolls. They get the dolls and run off, laughing and talking. I smiled and stood up.
"You're good." I turn around and see a guy with a tux smiling at me. "You're new?"
"No, I just came with my friend, she's adopting." He nods. "You planning to adopt?"
"Oh.. Maybe one day." I said, smiling. "Not right now." He nods and smiles. Aphrodite comes back, with Malcolm in her hip. He smiled like there was no end, and Aphrodite was laughing. I haven't seen her laugh. She walks towards me and looks at Malcolm.
"Sammy... Meet Malcolm Mendez." The little boy smiles and hugs Aphrodite as tight as he could. I smile at her and her eyes shouted out, joy. "Come on... Let's go home."
