Peter furrowed his brow a bit, "I'm a lawyer, Derek. I know how to bend the truth in my favor. But that's not saying that they couldn't eventually find out who he is."

The Little Mermaid's Prince...That was a new one. He really needed to get out more, his life was slowly being consumed by "What's your name? Oh what do you turn into on the full moon?" His life used to be so normal too.

"The Snow Queen tried to take him once already, of course she did. The penthouse folks seem really eager to take things that don't belong to them," he said before he could even stop himself. Immediately realizing his slip of the tongue he rolled his eyes, "Sorry," he said a bit lamely.

"In any case, I think we've established that we can't just go to court and insist that the child be given to you. Legally we don't have a leg to stand on without bringing this to the attention of...Everyone, Milo's biological father included," he said seriously. "The options we have are stupid at best, and incredibly risky at the worst."

He sighed, really unable to believe that he was really about to say what he was about to say, "In the meantime, if you have some way of contacting Finn, I'd suggest that you do so and get her to sign this paper," he opened up his bag and pulled out two copies of a form, "It's a legal document that, if we can get her to sign, says she is granting you temporary guardianship of Milo. There's a space there for dates, All I have to do is file that on your behalf and it buys some time. It's kind of like putting bubblegum on an oil leak, but it's something."

There was the matter of not being able to find Finn, and Pete had no idea how he was going to do it, but looking at Milo who was clearly well cared for, gave him a soft spot. "So what I'm going to do," he said giving him a serious look, "Is go back to my apartment, you're going to get hold of his mother, and I'll come back to signed forms. I'll even find someone to notarize them." Pete always felt uneasy about breaking the law, and it wasn't a very good start, but from what he could tell no cops coming here were interested in abandoned children. The worst part was that if he was going to find someone willing to notarize forged documents he was going to need to talk to Vlad. He was feeling sick just thinking about it.
