Three weeks had gone by as Cassie, Charlotte and Eugene as well as their extended family were eating a big breakfast in Callie and Lexi's kitchen. They were excited about Eugene getting adopted in a few short hours. Oliver was over the moon. Eugene was nicer than his brothers' ever had been to him since they moved in.
"What's today bubba?" Cassie and Charlotte asked of her little boy's new nickname."
"My adoption mama and mommy," he added. It felt right as the two women froze as the tears spilled. "Crazy hormones right?" Natalie asked. "Deanna and I felt the same way after the oldest set of triplets called us mama and mommy for the first time.
"Yup," Cassie and Charlotte added. They planned to take him to Disneyland for his adoption day present. They were anxious and excited.
A few hours later, the gavel hit and a sound was made as Eugene eyed Judge Harper Smith.
"Congratulations Eugene James Adams Foster. Welcome to your forever family," Judge Harper Smith added. He nodded in a smile as he hugged his new moms' and his forever family. His caseworker Bill smiled at him. He was only his caseworker for a few weeks. He wished his other kids' could get adopted too.
He gained a whole new family as Cassie and Charlotte both picked him up and held him high as the extended family cheered and clapped. Back on the ground many pictures were taken of the trio family as well as ones with other family members.
At the park and beach, near Anchor Beach, Eugene's adoption day party was underway. The food was catered from Two Brother's From Italy. Presents filled the tables as family members came.
"Excited baby boy?" Cassie asked. No matter how many sons' they had in the future, Eugene will always be their baby boy. He nodded.
"Yes mama," he added. "I will miss San Diego Academy, but happy and excited about starting Anchor Beach in August."
"Hi baby bubba," Charlotte added. Eugene smiled. His own mother was never like that. She was always at parties and social gatherings. His dad too and he stayed at his office a lot more after his older brother, Edward died.
"Go play before the food gets here," they both added as he nodded and went to find Oliver who brought his soccer ball so they can play a game. "I guess I can be Eugene's sponsor since you are Leandro's," Charlotte added. Cassie nodded. She could never give up on her baby brother, even if he was a pain, but it wasn't his fault.
"I think Eugene should have therapy to process being adopted," Cassie added. Charlotte agreed.
"I agree and it will help him sort out his feelings over his parents," Charlotte replied. "He didn't grow up in foster care, but he was treated like a foster kid."
Oliver and Eugene played soccer. "Who will be your sponsor?" Oliver asked.
"I want mama or mommy," he added. "Mama likes soccer."
"Well she can't be your sponsor since she's my sponsor," Leandro added. Eugene eyed him and nodded. "I didn't know," he added.
"Now you know," he replied as he left.
"Don't be mad at him, he had a hard time in foster care," Eugene added.
"I know, but he can't be mad and hate people and try to get them in trouble," Oliver added as he filled in Eugene as he sighed. "He is trying."
The boys' eyed Leandro leave as Lexi came over. "Try to include him."
"He wants to be in charge and we aren't giving in," Oliver added. Lexi nodded. Leandro was changing, but not fast enough. She left to talk with him.
