Darren Adopts Donald

Darren was again devestated at the death of the woman he loved. He could hardly believe it, even these few months later, that she was really gone. Dead. Had died in an awful fire. But...what had happened to her son? Darren heard the entire story about how the maid had held the little boy...tried to comfort him...and then the social worker came and he was gone. But where was he? Darren learned that the boy had been taken to the Pleasantview Orphanage. Was he still there? Or had Don already come after him? Darren made several calls and found out that Kaylynn's son was still at the orphanage. This is what he could do for Kaylynn! He could provide for her son...raise her son as his own. He was sure that was what she would have wanted. Darren immediately called and requested to adopt the boy. He had been accepted, and today was the day little Donald was to arrive. Darren waited impatiently for his new son to get here. When they finally arrived, Darren ran outside and watched as the social worker unbuckled Donald's seatbelt.
The social worker lifted Donald out of the van and held him closely. Donald was a little uncertain, until he saw Darren. He remembered seeing this man with his mother. He remembered that his mother seemed to like this man...so he must be nice. Everything was going to be all right after all!
Donald sat on the soft grass, looking around at his new surroundings as his new "daddy" and the social worker talked.
Darren bent to pick up his new son. Turning around he saw Pao Mellon, the postman walk past. And then he saw Mortimer Goth himself. That was bad luck! He was hoping to keep the adoption a secret from the Goth family. He didn't want any trouble from Don. Now...here was Mortimer...strolling by and looking at the social worker...and you could tell he was taking it all in. Well, it couldn't be helped. It was official now...Donald was now Darren's son and would be called Donald Dreamer from now on. There wasn't anything to be done about it...even with all his millions. Darren held his son Donald closely. He thought of Kaylynn. "This is for you Kaylynn. I promise to do everything in my power to give "our" son a happy life! I love you Kaylynn." Darren would show his love for Kaylynn by taking care of her son.
