" Fire , Fire," The Town Squire yelled into a holler. Annie was up and Franklin, both in the squad car jeep at the fire already. All fire man there doing a fantastic job of , the town news , and news paper.
Annie had car-harts on from the Sheriff-department . Franklin stood back watching and her , proud yes very proud of his Annie. She soon walked around asking questions, yet stay out of the fireman's way. Talking into the telephone to the dispatcher.
" This is an awful fire , send the next towns to join us keeping this flame under control. In no time short more sirens and fire trucks, they responded to Annie's call for help. Unfortunately the entire farm lost , Two people died , tears rolled down Annie's face terribleness of it all.
The fire chief Edwin , walked up to her holding a baby boy a new born and a small little girl age two down syndrome's. Frank took the two year old by the hand as Annie held the baby till they reached the jeep. She had car seats and buckled them in place to go home in.
Neither one spoke on the way home a first for them , to busy cooing babies right then.
Once home birds chirping outside they had stayed all night till the end of the fire put out.
She drove tired and still in good shape. She'd get a week off for her dedication of going to the fire. She sent a pizza party to the fire station .
Then home inside dealing with having the children put upon them. A knock at the door the social worker from our town. Mrs. Bontrager, she brought all kinds of things , baby bed , child's bed , diapers , clothes and gift card . Bottles, blankets , baby food. Which Franklin carried inside.
" You'd told me you want the girls? The social worker said. Smiling, this is so sad and no family to take them all deceased. " I want them yes to adopt to be ours , my husband agreed."
They signed papers, for soul custody, adoption to be finalized .
    She left , and would do checks until adoption finalized. Franklin and Annie hugged for joy of it all. " Our new Yoder family," Both said confidently. Their rooms made up is next , His Schwester came over Eve and boyfriend Philip came over so they could sleep after a long night of it.
   The babies bathed , already and dressed , settling down to nap the baby beds up in the Dinning room . Eve asked ahead of time before laying down, she wanted to decorate their room . Quietly, Eve and Philip started putting clothes away in empty drawers , the room directly next to Annie's and Franklins on the main floor. More bedrooms upstairs the house monstrously big. And beautiful.
   They hung rustic stars on the wall, draped a pretty light pink swag across the windows looking out over the farm. Unrolled a light pink rolled rag rug out on the hardwood floor , she purchased at the babies and main in town a store. She'd brag to them how pretty it looked. A baby swing was donated, as a playpin, and this room is very large because the house is. Philip put up a doll house he purchased from his dats store, dat made them. Also, the furniture and dolls looked Amish.
    The room became so pretty little girl-like. On the dresser brush and comb set. A toy box for small children's toys to play, baby dolls looking like them. After the room is finished, set the bottles inside the cupboard. Dry food for the baby and Jared food. Things Our two-year-old will like. They intend to rename the girls today.
Eve and Philip worked hard on the stuff, to surprise them all when they woke up after being up all night. For supper stew and dumplings, sauteed green beans in butter, peppered to taste. Cream acorn squash and butter, cherry, Apple dump cake. A pitcher of sweet tea, a pitcher of fresh milk.
Everything smelled so bad Annie and Grsnklin decided to wake up. Making the bed back up like no one slept in it. Hugged and entered the dining room checked on the children wide awake picked them up and went to eat in the kitchen.
    Two high chairs to set them in. " Well, we reached a decision on the names Heather, for the baby, and Hanah for the two-year-old," Annie announced at supper time. Hanah answered her name right away. So it will work out and fit perfectly. "
    "Our Lord picked our family for us, and so it is and always will be us Yoders. They all clapped to that announcement,"
Philip made.
    The month of October and soon fall decorations coming out to be seen and enjoyed. Halloween parties, carving pumpkins, and hay rack rides for young and old alike. Cozy inside hot chocolate, baking cookies, and singing around the fireplace roasting marshmallows .
   And with a baby girl and toddler girl , the would sure be lots of fun.
