It's been five years. Lolo is in third grade and thriving. She's incredibly intelligent. There has even been talk of letting her skip a grade. At least among the teachers. Max and Ella think it best to leave Lolo alone. Max wholeheartedly believes that it would (or at the very least could) have negative effects on her mentally and emotionally which would then affect her socially and academically. Neither he nor Ella would wish that on their darling daughter.
Cas and Gray are in kindergarten. Cas has become quite the little troublemaker. Gray, on the other hand, is the one who's always trying to get his brother out of trouble. They would make an excellent adventuring duo. In fact, Ella, since she's quit nursing to become a full-time mom, has started writing a children's adventure picture book series starring her children, with Gray and Cas as the heroes, Lolo as the villain, and baby King as Lolo's sidekick. Ella writes and illustrates it herself. She's had a couple published already.
This past year, one of Max's friends, a social worker, was talking about a young teenage girl who had been in the foster system. While at her last home, she became the victim of rape and was now pregnant. Nobody wanted to take in a pregnant fifteen-year-old girl. After some discussion, Max and Ella decided that they would adopt the girl and help her raise her child. The girl, Ally Kowalchek, gave birth a couple days ago to a daughter and named her Hunter Denise, or Una for short.
“The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places.
But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now
mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.”
