I choose you [#Wattys2019]

Desperate situations require desperate measures

Sixth month

Thomas was wearing a wine shirt with the first buttons unbuttoned and black dress pants, he looked at his e-mail box hoping that some of the adoption agencies to which he had sent the information of both but was again rejected. He let out a sigh and rubbed the heavens with weariness, he couldn't believe that there were only three months left and he still couldn't find an agency in London that was willing to let them adopt a baby.

-And how's going, Thomas?-asked Robert who was wearing a black shirt with a lavender suit
-No agency in London is willing to let us adopt, as they were allowed to adopt you?-
-Tom was 17 years old when we adopted him, he had voted on his adoption, I guess it's more difficult when you want to adopt a baby-
-I know but I can't adopt an older boy or girl and tell him it's ours-
-That wouldn't be logical-
-What happens if I can't get the adoption before July...Chris is going to hate me!-
-For God Thomas, it's Chris we talked about, he could never hate you-
-I hope you are right-
-Of course I have it-

Seventh month

-Chris I have to go on a trip-reported Thomas trying to hide the gigantic smile he had on his face
-Will you travel with Robert?-asked confused
-No, but I'm going to help him schedule some conferences-
-Where?-
-In...mmm...Germany hehehe-
-All right I'll go with you-
-Nooo!..that is, there is no need, don't worry we'll be fine-he assure with a nervous giggle
-Mmm...it's okay just be very careful-Christopher knelt in front of him-I'm going to miss you a lot-he talk lovingly to his belly
-And not me?-asked Thomas with a pout
-Of course, yes-he said standing up and giving him a kiss on the lips
-We see you, I love you-said Tom giving him a soft kiss before taking his suitcase and leaving practically running from the house

The chestnut was eager to get to Australia, couldn't believe that finally an adoption agency would have agreed to give him an appointment. Once past the tedious procedure of the airport he took a taxi to go to his hotel and leave his suitcase. He took his portfolio where he had all the papers ready and after walking a little found the place, curiously was near a hospital, verified the address before entering.

-Good morning-he said with a smile to the young lady
-Good morning, do you have an appointment?-
-Yes, Thomas Hiddleston-
-Yes-she said after checking on the computer-Over here Sir-
-Thank you-

Thomas enter a warm office with simple finishes, where a woman with short black hair and red frame lenses awaited him.

-Good morning Mr. Hiddleston, is that correct?-
-Yes it's s, a pleasure-said holding the woman's hand while taking a seat
-From what I read in your application you and your husband want to adopt a baby...however I don't see him here-
-He's a doctor and he works in Lucerne, that's why he couldn't come-he lied
-Mr. Hiddleston raising a child is a very serious matter...we want children to be in a stable home and their absence demonstrates the opposite-

The Briton felt like hitting his face. How could he take his husband if he thought the baby was inside him!

-I assured you that our relationship is stable and the baby will grow up in a home full of love and with all the needs covered-
-Lord Hiddleston regretted it, but without his husband's presence, the adoption can't be carried out-

Eighth month

-I'm dead-he exclaimed while taking a drink of whiskey
-I don't think so...and stop drinking that, nobody drinks alcohol in front of my boys-Benedict exclaimed, removing his glass
-I think you're exaggerating-Thomas said
-Only two months left and no adoption agency allows me to adopt it if Chris doesn't go-he said to laugh hysterically afterwards-How the hell I'm going to convince him to go!-
-Language!-exclaimed Robert and then covered his mouth with his hand
-Ok...no one loses his head-asked the youngest of the nervous chestnuts
-You're right-said his father taking off his hand and releasing the air from his lungs
-And if you pretend an abortion?-the greatest of the British questioned
-Nooo!-the rest shouted at the same time, giving him a murderous look
-Ok bad idea-said raising his hands in surrender-Why don't you ask your mother-in-law?-
-Yes, I was once living with the Hemsworths and Leonie is a respected and influential woman-support the idea

They were right, although he hadn't wanted to involve any of the other's relatives, partly because he was afraid they would think that his husband had no other choice. He take out his cell phone and look for Leonie's contact and then dial.

-Leonie how is it?-
-Fine. How things are going in your new home-
-We are very well, it was a wonderful idea to move here, it is very nice, safe and people are very kind to us-
-I'm glad to hear that, they told me you were in Australia a couple of days last month although Christopher told me you would be in Germany-

Thomas felt that the soul was going to the floor.

-How...-
-How do I know? Do you think a former member of the army wouldn't t have watched over her son's husband?-

Shit! And if Christopher knew it and if he knew where he had gone.

-I...-
-What do you hide, Thomas? If you're cheating my son, I can make sure you're a dead man-

That made him shudder, the voice of the blonde was very intimidating, he was sure that if they were face to face she would have hit him in the face.

-I'm not cheating...that's s, not in that sense...I'm just lying...he think I have a baby and no adoption agency is willing to let me adopt alone...I need your help please-what last one came out almost like a supplication
