Family comes first in all things. Whatever the cost.

Ten had always heard the saying, "Out of the mouths of babes," but he hadn't expected it to hit home as it had. After a comment from their daughter, Ten and Jared ponder an addition to the family.

Moving into the adoption process is nerve-wracking and riddled with anxiety-kind of the way the Railers have been playing as of late. Bringing two young men into their homes and hearts won't be a smooth ride.

But with patience, humor, and love, the bumpy road might just be a little easier to travel. Expanding their small family was always in the cards, but no one could have foreseen the process clashing with the worst ever start to a Railers season.

A string of losses, a vital player missing from the defense, a captain in the emergency room-and winning a single game seems impossible, let alone getting the team to the playoffs. Faced with hard decisions, Jared refuses to take his work home, but it's difficult when your husband is at the leading edge of the losing streak.

His focus fractures when one sibling they're matched with is frustrated, angry, and has a healthy dose of mistrust. Jared and Ten's parenting skills are tested, but they'll do anything to make a place in their home the perfect gift for two children lost in the system.
