That's why I'd like to take care of Lydia. Can you baby-sit Christina?
Christina? Sure, I'm already on my way.
What about the coffee?
I don't have any time. Can I take this with me?
Of course. Give my love to Christina! - I will!
Thank you!
Hey!
You're really smitten with the little one, aren't you?
Why?
The way you're looking... almost like you're in love.
Hey!
Well, she IS a cutie! - Yes.
Will you please prepare a latte for me, with lots, lots, lots of sugar? To relax my nerves.
I've already read about it.
Poor you! There's always something going on with your family these days.
Yeah, I'd rather not go home at all anymore.
The mood's really... urgh... well, whatever. Btw, what's going on with Andi?
I was about to go visit him. Do you want to come along?
Sure! Right now?
Yes, I'll just have to prepare the latte.
Yeah, and I've to drink it.
Hellooo, I'm baaack!
Christian! Come here!
Hey! - Cool!
Hey!
Luise's family came to visit Gregor and Luise, so I preferred to head off!
And the twins?
Well, they ARE sweet! Incredible, they are so tiny and yet so...
...and when they hold on to your hand with their teensy fingers
and then look at you with their big eyes, that knocks your socks off!
Oh, here!
Ta da! - Oh! - Oh, cute!
I want something like that, too!
It's surely not easy for gays to get a child.
No idea, we've not really been thinking about this for very long yet.
Well, there's an advantage: No labor pains, no nine months of hormone fluctuations.
And no matter what it'll be, no pink! - No pink!
If that's your only concern...
Why?
Well, to have a bit of fun with Christina for an hour, alright! But 24/7, day and night?
You ought to know! - Phew!
Trouble?
Quite the contrary!
Yeah, those two are going to be parents.
Really? - Mhm.
But it doesn't show yet, does it?
Oh well, look at this...!
Now seriously, do you really want a child?
Yes, I do!
And what about what Rebecca implied earlier? I mean...
about... we could... well...
...with a woman?
No way! We'll adopt.
Of course, it would be nicer if it really was from one of us, but...
Women are a non-issue for me.
For me, too.
So... adoption?!
When?
Right away!
Right away!
And, what did you find out?
Come on, it's obvious that it won't be easy.
Well, in a nutshell: There are only a handful of children put up for adoption in Germany,
and those... they'll get a dad AND a mommy.
Oh great! And apart from that?
Well, if we'd be Madonna, then it'll probably be easier, right?
How many children did she adopt? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5?
But we're not Madonna. We can't even sing properly.
Oh, well...
But we're certainly not the only gay couple in Germany that wants to have a child!
True.
Do you know another one?
Nope.
But we can get to know one. Online, in cyberspace, in some chat room.
That's a good idea!
It's nice that Markus and Paul will get in touch when they've found the adoption papers.
I'll get it.
Oh, you're not Markus and Paul!
Err... no! Mr. Brandner, Christina and I!
And what do you want?
Come inside, maybe?
Oh yeah, sure! Come on in!
Would you like something to drink? Coffee, milk, a beer?
No, thank you, we thought we'd just... - Yeah...we...
We've already talked to Matthias about this. You can keep her here today.
Who?
Well, Christina!
Why? - What do you mean, 'here'?
Something came up for Mr. Brandner, he has to go to uni now.
He can't keep an eye on her.
Yep, it's sort of an emergency.
And I've heard that you've already been very successful with the little girl.
Yeah, and if you don't mind, she can stay here tonight as well,
so you can check out what it's like with a baby.
And you're lucky that she has her teddy with her today.
Without it she'd be a very sweet, little, and very loud crybaby.
