Cha 7 New Year
Berry Men POV
Hiram didn't know want happen to him to make his life fell like a four part play. Act 1 Hiram Berry from Cincinnati, OH trying his best to fit in without anyone finding out he gay. Act 2 Hiram meets the love of his life LeRoy Berry and create the family they long for when their Rachelah was born. Act 3 Nov 8, 2009 piecing a family together. When Mr. Schuester called us to the hospital we didn't know our lives would do a 360, but we talk in front of Star made sure she know we would be there for her and the baby. When she went to her room we cried in each other arms. Then Roy tells me about Quinn when I arrive at the Fabray's with five friends to pack up Ladybugs belong I was flabbergast to see they were already packed. What had happened in that house no child should be ready to move out at a moment notice. We just finish setting up her room when I got the call Tina was in labor. In one, week, I went from a father of one to father of three girls 23, 16, and 15 and grandfather of two newborn girls. I hope act 4 would have less tearful nights.
LeRoy wanted to punch something or someone being an ex-football and basketball star player in school and college. I knew those were safe outlets for my anger, but that day in Quinn hospital room Rusty was going to be on the receive end. When Hammer told me about want he found at the Fabray's, I wanted to go after him then too, but Hammer reminded me that our girls needed me now more than ever. Now I spend more time working out than I did in college but at least I found balance. I made a plan has the girls farm fix up later this new year for them. I made a new year prayer I guess you can take the preacher son out of the church, but not church out of the son. "Thank you for a new year. May everyone in my family be willing to begin anew with a clean slate. Help us to be willing to forgive ourselves and to forgive one another. As we begin a new year, remind us of our truest values and our deepest desires. Help us to live in the goodness that comes from doing what you want us to do. Help us to put aside anxiety about the future and the past so that we might live in peace."

Avery had signed Tina up for therapy next year. All the girls were doing good until they got the news about the sisters. Tina was quite again that worried me the most the quiet. Even when Tina had first started speech therapy she talk more back then. Now if you didn't ask her a direct question she didn't talk even to the other girls. The only ones she talked we're the babies. Jay was even catching on to Tina modes getting her to sing to get her to stop crying. I hope with therapy and going back to school I would see an improvement in Tina.
Jesse had another long talk with Tyrone about his thorny on Jay and LL sperm donor, because that all he would be to them. Ty informed me want they known so far. "With all the babies having O negative blood the donor had to be to, for Jay and Lil'Lily because Tina a B+ and Mercy a A+. We don't know about the other babies donors because both Britt and Rae are O- while Quinn a A+ and San a O+. But since O negative is only found in 1% of Asian they had a small lead." Tyrone also told me if Tina or Mercy needed assistance for the girls his family would be able to help. On Sunday while everyone was at the evening service me and Justice had gotten together to do some shopping. Family was important to us, and we wanted to just do something, after seeing want the Lopez and Pierce did to Sky and Ana nursery we know just want do.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
Pierce
Roos had many dreams for her girls, and in that hospital I though all of Britt were going to go away , but I was wrong. I had never felt so happy to be wrong. Watching Britt read to Ana and Sky Dutch nursery rhythms because she wanted them to be Polyglotism like her. She even had relative speak their native tongue around the girls. Her aunt Jade from New Zealand sing Māori songs to them. One of the songs Britt love was "Aio Ki Te Aorangi" she sang it every night to the girls. Ash sang "Mārie Te Pō" to them all the time she couldn't wait to sing it in school. Now with Britt getting help with her school work she would be able to study anything not just dance. Who would have guess music was the key to her learning.
Christo was happy truly happy things had not gone back to usual but better. Britt and San were spending the night at each other houses again now they just brought a baby with them. Those nights the grand moms stayed on the phone. I love watching Britt be the natural mother I always knew she would be, and San being the over protective mom I knew she would be. Next week was going to be hard on the girls the babies start a day care for a full day, this week they only went for half a day. I didn't know who cried more the moms, grandmothers, or godfathers whom excuses was they just started spending whole days with the babies.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jones POV
Lily was proud of both her children this year like she been every year, but this one was special. Despite everything that Mercy had gone thru she had come out stronger. Eddie had stepped up to the plant, not just as a big brother but also as a uncle to all the babies especial Lil'Lily and Jay. This new year would be a test for them. Mercy was going back to school as a teen mom, face responsibilities unlike those of her friends without babies, loses her freedom to go out all of the time, or hang out with friends on a whim. At least she won't feel isolated from her friends because they were in this together. Eddie would be graduating this year facing a downturn economy, and lack of work experience because he's been coming home on weekends instead of spending time at his internship like he used to. I hope my babies don't lose their dreams. Justice was tired of feeling like he failed his baby girl. The day the doctor put her in my arms. I promise to protect her with my life if need be. My father told me when Lily was first pregnant with Eddie. "To be a good father son, you have to be present, be a good disciplinarian, a role model, and be sympathetic to your children's needs without being a pushover, but with daughters you had to be more." My dad was right, I just never thought I would fell like this. When Jesse called to meet we came up with a plan to let our daughters know how much we would be there for them.
Eddie knew his Dad might be battling the early stages of depression. I had looked it up to be on the lookout for Mercy and her friends they had hidden their rape so well we wouldn't have known if not for the baby girls. On Sunday when he called needing my help for a surprise for Mercy and Tina I said yeah. While setting everything up he told me "Eddie I know you've been looking out for us, but I need you to look out for yourself son. I've setup some ground rules for you. Only one weekend a month you can come home. This spring break you will be going with your friends. If the best offer you get is far from home I want you to take it. Want happen to Mercy affect all of us son, but it doesn't mean your dreams have to be put on hold. I'm proud of the man you've become, but I'll be prouder of the man you'll be."
"Okay Dad I will follow your rules, but you should know I wouldn't be half the man I am now without your guidance." After painting "Jesus Loves Me" music note above Jay new crib in Mercy room right next to her big sister we went over Mr. Jesse house and finish setting up Lil'Lily spot in Jay's nursery now theirs. Mr. Jesse had me paint the Korean symbol for good luck above there nursery door and on the door two young leopard cats.
OOOOOOOOOOO
Lopez POV
Alma knew something was wrong on Friday, I just couldn't figure out want. When the call came in Chris and Rosa where on the other side of town, so I called the Jones to pick me up. When Santina open her mouth I know she was telling me the truth in the devilry room, but when the police came I knew it was a half-truth. At the station, they confirm want I already knew about the bebé. Now I just had to wait for my mariposas to tell me the rest.
Marbela had always wondered if they gave San to much freedom. I always wanted to be a mother, my own mother died of breast cancer when I was 10 because we didn't have money for a doctor and made too much for financial assist we didn't find it until it was too late. So when we paid off Santiago student loans and move from Lima Heights Adjutant to Lima Woods one of the two gated communities in Lima the other Fulton Grounds where the Fabray live. We decide to help people like us, San was 11 when I joined Tiago offer basic financial classes to low income families or individuals. I thought with Alma and the Pierce's watching her she would be ok, but I was wrong. Just like me my baby still needed her mother around. We change our schedules now, one out town trip a month and both of us would be home at 5. I may have lost my path, but I still found a way home.
Santiago always wanted to be a doctor grow up in Lima Heights was hard you either learned to swim with the sharks or you would be eaten by them. When my father move us to Lima Heights Adjutant I was 12, he was killed a year later driving home from work. It was hard on all of us, but Mamá wouldn't let the streets claim some else she love again. With her tough love all 8 of us graduate from college. When I start offering my service to other hospital for free it was just suppose for those weekends San spent with the Pierce's, then it became a day off work, summer breaks, holidays. Looking at pictures of all I miss out on I realize that Sky was a wake call to be a better father than I have and the Abuelo to Sky that my Papà would've been to my Santina.
