Oscar's POV:

I made the appointment for 8:00 am. Afterwards I called and had some men clear out the room closest to ours.

We went to the mall and bought him a couple jerseys, a ball, pants, socks, underwear and toys. Marcy told me not to go crazy buying him a lot cause we still don't know his size.

Once we got back to the hotel Marcy made a couple calls to get us approved much faster so we could take him back to California.

I sat down and designed a soccer themed room for the little guy. Since we didn't know much about him besides he likes soccer. He could always change it if he didn't like it.

"Lars it's late let's go to bed" my visibly tired husband said

"In a bit I'll be in bed by the time you wake up"

"But I wanna fall asleep with you stop being difficult" he whined

"Yeah well I do it all the time when you work late or go on business trips"

"Fine but if you're not in bed when I wake up I'm not going to be very nice" I rolled my eyes he's such a child sometimes

I sent my final sketch to a friend back home and he agreed to have the room complete by the time we get back.

I showered then went to bed and instantly fell asleep

In the morning

I woke up around 6:45 and jumped out of bed

"Shit! Marcelo wake up" I shook him

"Fuck off Im tired" I smirked then cranked my hand back and slapped him hard in the face. He shot up and glared at me

"I'm gonna fucking murder you, you son of a bitch" I gulped and backed up

"You weren't waking up and we gotta go to the meeting. We're already late" he looked over at the time and got up

"We don't have time for separate showers join me" he said with a wicked smirk and I shook my head

"I showered last night. You go ahead while I get ready"

"Fine"

After 30 minutes he came out the bathroom dressed.

"Let's go Lars" I nodded and we went to the car

We arrived at the orphanage right on time and we waited in an office.

"Hello my name is Lauren Austin but you can call me Lauren" a brunette came in and shook our hands

"My name is Vincenzo and this is my husband Oscar"

"It's nice to meet you two what brings you here today"

"Well we've been married almost 2 years now but have been together for 7 and we're ready to adopt. We're from California but we're here on business and I brought Oscar along with me. Yesterday we saved a little boy from being hit by a car and walked him back here. On the car ride to the hotel we decided we wanted that little boy" Vince explained

"Thats lovely before we move onto choosing a child we have to get you processed"

"We've already been approved to adopt here and in the US" I cut her off and Vince handed her the paper work

"Well look at that, now all you have to do is answer a couple questions and fill out the paper work for your child" we nodded

"First things first full name and occupation"

"Vincenzo Marcelo Lombardi I own a investment company in the United States as well as multiple clubs, restaurants, and hotels"

"Oscar Lars Hendrickson-Lombardi I'm a video game designer for Ubisoft here in Montreal" she jotted down our answers

"Do you own or rent a home and will he have his own room"

"We own a house in California and a penthouse in New York and we've already began preparing his room" I hope we don't sound like rich snobs

"Where will your child attend school"

"I have 6 younger siblings and 3 younger cousins, we all attended William Floyd preparatory academy in California. It's a private school from K-12 and there he can do any extracurricular he wants"

"If you're both busy who will watch him"

"As I mention I have 6 younger siblings along with 3 cousins ranging from 18-25 and both my parents and my aunt and uncle will be more than happy to watch him" Vince answered

"What about your family" she asked me

"We don't have a relationship and they all live in Sweden"

"Okay well I think that's all for now. So who's the lucky little guy you met yesterday"

"We didn't catch his name but he's around 8 or 9 years old,  he has brown hair and hazel eyes, and he likes soccer"

"Is this him" she pulled a picture from a file"

"Yup that's him"

"His name is Wyatt he's 8 years old and he's turning 9 November 11th. He loves soccer and is very shy with new people but once he's comfortable he talks up a storm. He's a real sweet boy who's been dealt an unfortunate hand"

"What happened"

"He's mother was killed during a home invasion when he was nearly 4 years old during a really bad thunderstorm. Authorities found him shivering on the streets of Barcelona in Spain looking for help. From there he was in and out of homes. No one wanted to keep him because he was too shy and didn't get along with their kids or cause he has a tendency to run away. He ended up here in Canada two years ago when his uncle found him and moved him here. He was incarcerated for child abuse and a load of other charges"

"Poor kid taken away from his home country just to be abused"

"Actually his mother was Canadian but moved to Spain he was born here" We nodded

"Well have him start packing cause we're taking him home"

"That's wonderful I'll go grab him" and she left

"We should put him in therapy just so he has someone to talk to" I suggested

"I agree we should also hold off from introducing him to the family"

"Yeah don't wanna overwhelm him"

The door opens and Lauren comes in with Wyatt

"These two gentlemen are the ones adopting you"

"I remember them he saved me yesterday" he smiles

"Yeah and since your ball popped we bought you a new one" Lars handed him the ball we got him

"Wow this is so nice thank you"

"You just have to sign some papers then you can take him" we nodded

"Wait here okay buddy" I told Wyatt

After a huge stack of forms we finally adopted him and we changed his last name too. He's now Wyatt Asher Lombardi

"Ready to go Wyatt"

"Yes sir"

"You don't have to call me that Oscar or Lars will do"

"Okay what about him" he points at Vince

"That's Vincenzo"

"Where do you live"

"California"

"That's cool are we leaving today"

"No we leave next week"

"Okay" he smiled and looked out the window
