When we wake up we talk about what we can do to keep the kids with us. She says, " I don't know what to do about Lucy amd Reese but Dylen isn't going to be hard to protect."

" Why is that?"

" His dad never signed the papers. He wasn't home and hasn't really been home since he was born. You can adopt him and he can be our son."

" Ok I will do anything that I can to protect our kids. All of them are my kids in one way or another."

" I know babe I love you."

" I love you too."

We go while the kids are at school. I sign papers and a judge says that I am now Dylen's mom also.

We go home with our son.

Later on Lucy brings her boyfriend Zack home.

We meet him and he seems like a good kid. Wendy ask what his parents did. Zack says his dad is the chief of police and his mom is a doctor.

Wendy is impressed by that.

They start walking to Lucy's room. Wendy yells, " Keep your door open."

" Yes ma'am." They both say.

The next day Lucy comes home and comes up to me. She says, " Tammy was outside my school today at lunch. When I told her I didn't want to see her she said to bad that she was signing me out of school. We went to the office and I told everyone that she wasn't suppose to take me. Luckily they listened to me."

" Yes you are lucky. I will talk to momma about it when she gets home ok?"

" Ok mommy."

She hugs me. She runs off and plays.

When Wendy got home that night I tell her everything Lucy told me.

She shakes her head and says, " Do you think we should home school them?"

" Reese yes but not Lucy. Reese is younger so he can adjust to it fast. However Lucy won't adjust that easily."

She nods and says, " You make a good point that I agree with. I will go sign him up."

I nod.

We cuddle and I put on a song for us.

I start to sing it,

" I was feelin' the blues
I was watching the news
When this fella came on the TV

He said I'm tellin' you
That science has proven
That heartaches are healed by the sea

That got me goin'
Without even knowin'
I packed right up and drove down

Now I'm on a roll
And I swear to my soul
Tonight I'm gonna paint this town

So bring me two pina coladas

One for each hand

Let's set sail with Captin Morgan
And never leave dry land

Troubles I forgot 'em

I buried 'em in the sand

So bring me two pina coladas

She said good-bye to her good timin' man

Oh now I've gotta say
That the wind and the waves
And the moon winkin' down at me

Eases my mind
By leavin' behind
The heartaches that love often brings

Now I've got a smile
That goes on for miles
With no inclination to roam

I've gotta say
That I think I've gotta stay
'Cause this is feelin' more and more like home

So bring me two pina coladas

One for each hand

Let's set sail with Captin Morgan
And never leave dry land

Troubles I forgot 'em

I buried 'em in the sand

So bring me two pina coladas

She said good-bye to her good timin' man."

Wendy says, " Are you trying to say you are leaving?"

" No hun I'm saying that we need pina coladas for each hand to forget our problems."

" Ok that makes since."

I kiss her and she kisses me back. We both say that we love each other at the same time. We both smile.
