When Nick and J came to us, Nick seemed determined to act normally. You never would have guessed how much he had suffered. Then he found out about Alec's brother and sister-and-law and Erica's deaths, and he became completely withdrawn, even ignoring J. After a few weeks like that, Cassie got sick of dealing with his moping and talked to him. We aren't sure what she said, but he seems to be recovering. He hasn't flown again yet, but we're sure he will when he's ready.

Meanwhile, J is flourishing. He has four parents now. Damien seems unsure what to do with him, but he's trying. Alec and I adore J, and Cassie spoils him rotten. Nick welcomes the chance to enjoy his childhood, but he still spends most of his time with J.
