Finding a child on his doorstep had not been on the agenda for the day. However after listening to Elizabeth barking up a storm over by the front door for about 15 minutes he eventually had no choice but to stand up and go see what she was excited about. After he'd gotten the dalmation to quiet down he heard a new noise-the cooing of a child-and frowned. Opening the door he found on the step a baby all bundled up and resting in a carrier. Immediately the dog trotted forward and began sniffing at the child, whining before licking the infant's face which caused the baby to break into a wail.
"Elizabeth, in the house, now." Aramis commanded firmly and the dog followed his directions, slipping back into the house with a whine. Picking up the carrier he inspected the child that had stopped crying and was now looking at him with a strange facination. Finally it smiled and reached out for him with one chubby little hand. "No, no, baby. I'm not...anyone you need to concern yourself with. Now, lets get you inside where it is a bit warmer, yes?" He turned and stepped inside, setting the carrier on a chair.
Once he was sure the baby was content with a stuffed animal Aramis had managed to locate in its grasp he finally picked up the phone and called a few people who were in the nearby town. A half hour of calling and checking yielded nothing and soon enough the infant had tossed the toy away and was fussing again. So, setting his phone aside Aramis moved to lift the child from the carrier, a little note card falling from the folds of its blanket. Holding the infant against his hip he reached down and picked up the card, reading it over, frowning. It claimed the child belonged to Athos and was nameless.
How strange. He immediately posted up a message on the board to his lover and with the comfort that Athos would be home as soon as he could be, Aramis took the child over to the couch and sat there with the baby on his lap, puzzled by it.
