StefPOV

Lena and I were in the kitchen making dinner and Jude had volunteered to set the table.

"Is dinner ready yet?" Jesus asked. "I'm starving."

"Imagine that." I smiled. "It'll be ready in a little bit. Hopefully you won't die of starvation until then."

"I'll try." He smiled.

"Why don't you help Jude set the table?" Lena suggested.

He sighed but Lena gave him The Look. "Hey, Jude, need some help buddy?"

"Good boy." I chuckled.

Suddenly there was a ringing sound.

"Is that the smoke detector?" I asked.

"No," Lena said, going across the room. "It's the landline we've been meaning to disconnect."

She picked up the phone and answered.

"Hello? Hey, Dad-"

"Tell Stewart I said hi." I told her.

"Yeah, me too!" Jesus added.

"Everyone says hi." Lena added. "Oh, okay."

Her face suddenly turned concerned and worried.

"Yeah, I remember." She nodded slowly. "What? Oh my goodness, what happened? Well, is she okay?"

"Is everything okay?" I whispered, walking over to my wife.

"Okay, yeah, we'll be there." She said. "Okay, yeah, yeah, love you too. Yeah, bye."

Lena hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

"Are you all right, love?" I asked, wiping my hands off on a towel.

"Do you remember my cousin, on my dad's side, Lucy?" She asked.

"Yeah, is she okay?"

"She was in a car accident." Lena said. "She was killed on impact. Her daughter is in intensive care."

"Oh my goodness, Rhiannon?" I asked.

"Yes, my dad called to let us know that Lucy's funeral will be on Saturday."

"Oh, hon, I'm so sorry." I said, taking her in my arms. "I know you two were close."

"I just hope Rhiannon will be okay." She sighed. "God, I loved that girl."

"Do you need some time alone?" I asked. "I can finish up dinner."

"Yeah, I'm just going to take a minute upstairs." She nodded.

"Okay,"I said.

"Who's Lucy?" Jesus asked after Lena had left.

"Lucy was Mama's cousin. They were really close when they were younger." I explained. "But, Lucy's job had her move around a lot so they kinda lost contact over the years."

"And Rhiannon is her daughter?" Jude asked.

"Yeah," I answered, going back over to the pan on the stove. "Lena would babysit her when she was younger. She credits her for helping her realize how much she loved kids."

"Is Mama okay?" Mariana asked quietly, coming into the kitchen.

"She just found out that one of her cousin's whom she was very close to died in a car accident and her daughter is in intensive care."

"Woah. No wonder she's upset."

Lena and I left the kids at the house for the weekend while we went to the funeral.

"Please, no wild parties while we're gone, okay?" I asked.

"So if we keep the parties under control, it's okay?" Jesus asked, I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.

"No parties at all." I clarified. "We're trusting you guys to be good. Don't do anything you wouldn't do if we were here."

It took us a few hours to get to the Adams' house. Dana and Stewart greeted us warmly.

"Thank you, for letting us stay here for the weekend." Lena said as she hugged her father.

"Oh, you know that you all are welcome here any time." Dana said. "Where is everyone?"

"We thought it would be best to leave them home." I answered.

"Well, it probably was." Stewart shrugged. "I'm sure it would be hard to travel with five kids."

"We didn't really want to take this chance to find out." I chuckled.

"Are we staying in my old room?" Lena asked, heading upstairs.

"Yes." Dana answered. Soon, Lena was out of earshot. "She seems so upset."

"She is." I confirmed. "I think she really regrets that she and Lucy never really got to talk lately."

Lena came back down the stairs.

"How's Rhiannon doing?" She asked.

"Well, she's been in a coma since the accident." Stewart said slowly as he sat down on the couch. We all joined him in taking a seat. "From what we've heard, she had a few broken bones and a couple of cracked ribs that punctured her lung."

"Oh my God." Lena breathed.

"But," He continued." They are saying she's stable for now. They're just waiting for her to wake up."

"Well, that's good, right?" I said, trying to stay optimistic.

After getting settled in, we went to the courthouse for the reading of Lucy's will.

Most everything was going to Rhiannon. There was some money and such that went to siblings and various family members. A few miscellaneous items went to friends.

"And lastly, in the event of my death," Read the lawyer. " I leave sole custody of my daughter, Rhiannon Elizabeth Adams, to my cousin Lena Adams."

I heard Lena gasp beside me. We exchanged a look. By the sound of the room, we weren't the only people that were surprised that Lucy had left Lena her daughter. That was the end of the reading. Everyone started to get up and leave. Lena and I just sat there. Both of us in shock at what we had just learned. How were we going to be able to take in another child? It just didn't seem possible.

"What are we going to do?" Lena asked, voicing my own thoughts.

"I have no idea." I sighed. "But, we can find a way to make it work, right?"

"Stef, I don't know." She admitted. "As much as I want to, I don't know if we can."

"Well, we'll figure something out later." I said, getting up.

We met Stewart and Dana in the foyer.

"Well, would you two like to go to the hospital and see Rhiannon?" Stewart asked.

I looked at Lena for an answer.

"Yes." She said firmly.
