He pulled back in shock giving her hand enough time to make contact with his face. "How dare you kiss me?" Wiping furiously at her mouth she glared at the culprit.
"Forgive me. I saw you walk by and just went on instinct when you passed." The guy said then had the nerve to tweak her nose. "You're even sexier when you're mad," was this guy for real? Later that night her cousin explained that his friend Diego Diaz was impulsive and had been wanting to meet her for a while now. Michelle had never laid eyes on Diego before that day, but he had been wanting to meet her for weeks now. Thanks to her over protective cousins, he was warned away.
After that day Diego made sure to get himself invited to every family party and every event. He pestered Michelle for over six months. During that time he would still sneak a kiss from Michelle every now and then. He would still get slapped when she could manage to do it. Being persistent paid off for she caved one day, and they married one year to the day of their first kiss.
The night of their honeymoon, Diego asked Michelle what he could ever give her that would make her as happy as she made him. There was no thinking about it on her part. What she wanted more than anything in the world was a baby. Blame it on the fact that she helped to raise her two younger sisters. Whatever the reason Diego took great pride and interest from that night on to make sure his wife became a mother.
Alas, every month the pregnancy test was negative. And every month Michelle would cry herself to sleep. The obsession became so bad that lactation started all on its own. It was with great happiness that they visited the doctor only to receive the crushing blow. When he told them that you can make your body go through the whole pregnancy symptoms; yet there is no baby.
It was then that Diego realized how much pain his wife was in. So he suggested they visit a fertility specialist. Fertility treatments, insemination and even standing on her head after intercourse followed. Yet nothing ever happened, they were soon burning through their savings.
One day, the specialist told Michelle it would never happen, that her body may not hold a fetus full term. The immense hurt and feelings of being a failure were tearing her apart. The pain only became worse when her younger sisters married and conceived.
At the time, Diego was opening his own garage and all her energy went into helping him succeed. In return he was really patient and would hold here on the days when it hurt too much. Then one day he came home with a stack of brochures from different adoption agencies. Michelle felt hope blossom in her chest. They set up an appointment and went to visit a site. Long story short; after a series of interviews and a stack of paper to be filed out, they were cleared and went to meet some children.
They had decided on a baby. Boy or girl it really didn’t matter. Once there, a group of older children playing in the back of the room caught Michelle’s attention. She watched in awe as the one that seemed older corralled them. By the way they played you could tell that they had each other's back. There was a pair of identical twins among them. Yet it was the group she watched as they waited. When the woman came with a baby, Diego held it while Michelle was still captivated with the other children. The oldest was no older than six or seven and the youngest was about four.
"What's their story?" Michelle asked the case worker who turned to look at the children in question. A smile spread her features as she spoke fondly of them. They were not related with the exception of the twins. Yet like every other person who decided to adopt. They wanted babies; not older boys.
Grady who was the oldest had taken the younger children under his wing and protects them. Michelle was fascinated and turned to look at Diego. "Which one?" He asked already knowing his wife inside and out. His
