Mar. 24th, 2014 08:24 pm It was a very exciting day for the Duggan family, as it was the day they welcomed in their new adoptive son.
York, the oldest of two (current) Duggan children, had been eager for this day ever since his parents had told him and his little sister of their plans.
He didn't know much of the boy they were taking in, other than the fact his name was David, and his appearance--he'd seen a few photos that his family had shown him. However, he knew it wouldn't compare to actually meeting the boy in person.
A glance over to the clock on the wall let him know it was only a short time until his parents returned with the child, and when that time came he could stop babysitting Riley in order to introduce himself to David, and show him around the house - starting with the room that would be his.
It was only a couple minutes later when the front door opened, and immediately York and Riley darted over, pushing aside their parents in order to see their new brother.
"Hi!" Riley grinned when she spotted him, showing off her missing front teeth.
York, however, was a little more quick to get conversation going. "Hey, I'm Adam. You can call me York, an' this is Riley. Come on, we'll show you the house, and you can put your things in your room, and--"
"Adam," his mom said, laughing. She grabbed her children by their arms and gently pulled them back into the house, "let the poor boy inside. Don't overwhelm him."
Both kids nodded, but didn't stop smiling.

They didn't even move, at least, not until Dad spoke;
"Why don't you two go bring down the gifts you got him?" Their father suggested, and with that they both appeared shocked for a moment before scrambling off.
The two returned shortly, both clutching items to their chests.
Riley extended her gift first - a macaroni mural of a cat head that looked a little more like Batman.
"S'all I can make. York said dogs were cooler, but he's dumb."
York scowled at that, but it didn't last long, as soon he was holding out his own gift.
"S'an empty photo album." He shrugged. "Figured we could fill it together."
