Being a pediatrician meant be being around kids 24/7. It also meant appreciating how vunerable and innocent they are. You wanted one.

The treatment of the young boy beside you, given by the home came as a shock. He was put in the home after being taken from his abusive family, only to repeat the cycle.

"Why don't they like me? Was i bad?" He asks, tugging on your sleeve. He'd be fine, though. Once the paperwork is done you'll be taking him home.
