Perry and Della had once more solved a murder with the help of their friend Paul. It was indeed a happy day for everyone. The baby was healthy and beautiful, Sally was soon to be theirs and the shower was bus a week away.

Della had been concerned about Sue feeling up to going to the shower, so Lori and Della decided to let her know about her surprise shower. Sue did not want to postpone it at all. So the shower was going to be held with the baby and Sue both there.

Lori could not believe that she was now going to have a niece and a nephew. Sally was going to be her niece and she could not be happier. She laughed as Sally came into her house carrying a big bag of things for the shower. The little girl could barely see over the bag and nearly tripped. But, she would not let anyone help her. As the three of them put together some of the party favors Mike came in the room.

Mike had been busy getting the crib and stroller together for their little boy who would be there in the next six weeks. When Sue had her baby he realized that time was getting short and he had gone right to work getting ready for their little boy. He looked at Sally and thought that there should be some kind of party for her once she was adopted. He could not wait for her to be his legal niece.

The day went well and the whole crew decided to have dinner at Lori's house. Della called Perry who had been completing the details on the murder that had just been solved and was glad to take a break. As he came into the house he was greeted by Sally who called him daddy once again. It was indeed one of the biggest highlights of his life.

The five of them had a barb-q that night and they each celebrated together. Sally fit right in and started to call Lori and Mike aunt and uncle.

The day of the shower came and as the friends all went to the Kavanough Restaurant Sally ran ahead. She was carrying a bag and fell. Della ran up to her and helped her pick up the things that had dropped. She started to cry as one of the toys had broken. But, Della had the solution, she had thought that something might get broken so she had brought some extras. She smiled and told Sally and the tears went away.

Everyone at the shower were thrilled to see the baby. Little Diane was the hit of the shower. She received a ton of clothes and even a high chair from her grandmother. The Mason's gave her a swing and everyone had a wonderful time.

That Monday Perry submitted the necessary papers for him and Della to adopt Sally and the process began. There was a visit from a social worker who liked the Masons and the newspaper ads, but most of the adoption process was just a process.

On little Sally's ninth birthday the whole family appeared in front of judge Johnson and the adoption became legal. Sally was now the daughter of Perry and Della Mason. With the baby due in just three weeks, the family would soon be whole.
