Perry Junior was here. He was healthy and the Mason household was now full. Della sat on the bed and looked at the little baby that she and Perry had made together. He looked like his daddy with great big eyes that reminded her so much of her Perry.

Sally was with her aunt once more. She woke up in her old room. She had been happy there, but she had known that her Aunt Michelle was too old to take care for her. She had been sad when she had left that day. It seemed like it had been such a long time ago. She now lived her new mom and dad. She missed her mommy and daddy from before.

Michelle was down in the kitchen making some breakfast when Sally came down. She was a breath of fresh air to their home and as she offered her niece breakfast, she told her of her plans. "We don't get to see each other very much. Once we have breakfast and get dressed I have someplace that I would like to take you. But, I want to know your thoughts on the matter." she told her as she handed her a bowl of cereal .

Sally was intrigued and asked her "Where do you want to take me?"

Michelle turned away from the stove and smiled at her niece. "I would like you and me to make a trip to the cemetery where your mom and dad are. What do you think?" she asked her.

Sally thought for a moment. She missed her first mommy and daddy everyday. She had been happy with them. Her mommy and daddy Mason had told her that they would always be her birth parents. But because they could not be there for her childhood, her parents would want her to be happy. Sally wanted to say hello to her first parents very much. Her mommy had offered to take her once, but she had said no. She didn't want to upset her. But with her Aunt Michelle it was different, her aunt knew her parents . She smiled and said "Yes, I would like to go with you. Can I bring flowers?"

"Yes, you can. We will go and see the baby and then go to the cemetery. After that we can grab a lunch. Your uncle Brian and your Aunt Mary are coming over tonight for supper." Michelle told her.

Sally was excited. She hadn't seen her Aunt Mary or Uncle Brain in months and she had missed them. "I can't wait. I miss Brian and all his girl friends. Is Aunt Mary coming over with her kids?"

"Yes, everyone is coming over. We are going to have a barb q." Michelle smiled.

Sally got very excited and hurried to get dressed. As her Aunt Michelle and she went to the hospital she was full of energy. She missed her mommy and couldn't wait for Perry Junior to come home. She got to hold the baby and kissed her mommy and daddy hello.

Della looked at the little girl who was the light of her life. Sally had come to their home to live for a short time and had won their hearts. Now she couldn't picture life without her. As Della looked up she smiled . Perry had come into the room. Perry leaned over and gave all three of them a kiss good morning. Perry had spent the night in the room with his new family, but had stepped out to pick up a bouquet of roses. He had wanted to purchase five dozen roses, but thought that he could have them waiting for his wife when she got home.

Della asked Sally "What are you doing today?"

Sally smiled and told her "I am going with Aunt Michelle to see my first parents grave. Then we are having a barb q with my Uncle Brian and my Aunt Mary and all of her kids at Aunt Michelle's." she told her.

Della gave Perry a quick look and smiled. "Well you have a good time. Perry Junior and I will be home tomorrow." she told her.

"What time?" Sally squealed.

"We will call you when we find out. Is that all right with you Michelle?"

Michelle smiled and said "Of course it is."

The rest of the visit was friendly and Sally left skipping down the hallway. She could not wait to show her new brother his room. She and her mommy had worked hard on making his room nice.

As Michelle and Sally arrived at the cemetery Sally started to look for the stone that had her mommy and daddy's name on it. She found the stone with names Nora and Robert Capron. She placed the flowers there and said a little prayer. She missed them and remembered that day. "I love you." she told them. "Please remember me. I love my new parents too, I am very happy."

Michelle nearly broke down in tears as she watched her niece acting like such an adult. She was a good person who loved everyone. She did not deserve to have what happened to her.

Larry Barber had been the Mason's landscaper ever since they had bought the house. The home was a lovely home in an exceptionally nice part of town. The lady of the house always left him fresh lemonade in the refrigerator in the pool house. They treated him very well.

But Larry was having marital problems. His wife was seeing another man. She had admitted to it. He had taken her back, but was having some issues just the same. Tonight he was going to be going to marriage counseling and he hoped that would help. As he worked on the lawn, he whistled to himself. The Mason's were such nice people and Perry had asked him to do an especially good job today because he was bringing a new baby home the next day.

Back at the Jones house Sally was busy helping her Aunt Michelle get ready for the company. She got the plates and silverware out and then mixed the lemonade. Her mommy made the best lemonade and she had learned from her, how to crush the lemon and to mix it very well. Michelle smiled at her niece who was becoming a young lady. She was really being a help.

That night Sally and her Aunts and Uncles all had a good time. Sally had only met Aunt Mary's new husband a couple of times and was glad to get to see him again. But he was not that friendly and was drinking a lot of beer. Sally heard her Uncle Brian say something, but he had just brushed him off. Uncle Steve was not that nice and Sally wasn't sure if she liked him or not.

But Sally got the chance to get to see her cousins and they had a good time. "We thought that you didn't want to have anything to do with us now that you are living with the rich." he cousin Danny told her.

Sally couldn't understand why she was treated like that by her cousins. But she still had lots of fun and enjoyed the time with her Aunt Michelle. The next morning her daddy called. Perry Junior was coming home at twelve. He was going to be picking her up at eleven so they could go and get her mommy and baby brother
