Elijah was a bit unhappy. He had been trying to find someone to take in the child, just temporarily. The ladies that had their own business, he put as nicely as he could, were even tried, but they refused. He knew once in a while there was a child there before the mother left or they took it to an orphanage. He was not the type to ever ask favors of such because he made it easy on them and always was a middle ground party if there was trouble. That would be taking advantage of those who needed someone on their side, at least to hear them out. 

He decided to keep thinking such thoughts as he held little John in his arms and then started to pass the church. He stopped and stared up at it, blushing a bit as he remembered recent events. He shook his head and walked in, certainly someone like Father Richards would have an answer!

"Ah.. Hello? Is there.. someone here? Father?" He called out as he stepped inside and glanced around.
