Present day

This is the first time in five years that Dr. Curtis, Shane, Mike, Stacey, Julie, Lisa, and Carrie have been together in the same room. It's unfortunate a funeral was the culminating event needed to accomplish this task. It's even more unfortunate, however, that after the casket is lowered in the ground tomorrow morning, the seven of them will never be together in the same room again, unless you count the big room in the sky that is, but we're getting ahead of ourselves. We really need to go back about twenty years to explain how they got here today.

Twenty years ago

Mike's pov

Neil confirmed that I am in fact Julie's biological father but I've decided not to tell her. After discussing the situation to great lengths with Dr. Evans, Neil, and Shane, we've come to a consensus that my name on her birth certificate doesn't change anything. Julie, Stacey, Lisa, and Carrie have been my daughters since I first met each of them twelve years ago and they will continue to be my daughters for the rest of our lives. No amount of shared DNA will ever change that.

The girls have two more months of highschool until they graduate and two weeks after that Shane and I will be taking them on a ten day Caribbean cruise to celebrate. We haven't told the girls yet as Shane wants to keep it a surprise until after their commencement ceremony, which is probably a good idea since they've each put their diploma in jeopardy due to suffering from severe senioritis.
