A Different Way To Finding Each Other

Gifted For A New Life

Lena, Robert and the kids went to have dinner at the Adams home since Nate and Timothy invited them and Papa Thomas declined to go since he had a prior engagement to attend to as he went to New York with his son Stuart Adams for a father and son time and it was much needed for the two Adams men.

"Thank you for the invite," Robert told his two brother-in-laws as they fist bumped him as they all smiled wide. "So Sweet Sixteen soon?" Nate asked.

"Yup," Robert replied. "Lena and Dana talked about it when Callie was born and I got the Hilton Grand Hall from 4:00 till Midnight."

"What about the boys?" Timothy asked.

"They have their party at The Bouncy, Maze and Tunnel Emporium and Skate park that just opened up a few weeks back."

"They will be excited," Nate said. "So how is Callie and the rest of the kids?"

"Good and it is a huge change, especially for the triplets and the twins. This home was the only home they have ever known."

"Any news on Mariana?"

"They still don't want to try her as an adult," Robert said. 

"She murdered Stef in cold blood. A cop," Nate ranted and raved. "She belongs in prison."

Robert nodded as Lena came in. "What's going on?"

"Beautiful, Mariana is still in Juvenile Hall," Robert replied. "I'm sorry."

Lena nodded. "What does she have to do? Kill someone else?"

"I hope not," Timothy replied. "Well she can't get out on good behavior."

"The foster care system?" Lena asked.

"They gave up on her," Robert replied. "I talked with Jackson last night."

The kids all heard the four adults talk. "She is still in Juvenile Hall?" AJ asked. "How?"

"I guess a dead cop is nothing for them," the big twins replied. 

AJ and Jack shared a look with the big twins and they were all in the same boat. Their parents were murdered by a serial killer and their mom was murdered by a crazy ass, psychotic foster girl. "She is just getting off with a slap on the wrist," AJ fumed he will turn twenty in two weeks along with Hallie.

"At least dad killed his murderer," Jack added as he wiped his tears. "I never wanted to bury another mom."

AJ understood his younger brother as they hugged. "Why does she get to live her life? When mom is dead?"

"It's a part of life," AJ added. 

"But she's in her hell," the big twins added. "And she will be there till she's twenty one."

"And I hope she screws up. Anyway," Jack said. 

"Can she get out on good behavior?" Callie asked.

"No. Juvenile Hall is different," Brandon replied. "She stays till she's twenty one."

"BABIES! DINNER!" Lena called out in a loud voice as the nine kids came rushing over and ran into the dining room as the two sets of grandparents came over with Mike and Nicole and the older twins. The little twins were with Ana since it is her weekend and it was good since Nate and Timothy have cats. The triplets, Keller, Kellin and Kellah were talking with the other kids.

"So any news about the soon to be baby?" Lena asked.

"I think it might be twins and the baby or babies will be allergic to cats," Nicole said.

"Were sorry," Lena added. The food was served and Nate raised his glass. To family and to absent family."

Everyone raised their glasses. "So Brandon. Bradley how are you two?" Mike asked.
