After Ana came in, Isabella was told to go with the kids while they talked outside on the porch. ''So why did you come here?'' Stef asked. ''Look, I need to explain something to you'' Ana said, ''I've gotten sober last month, and since then, I've been thinking about Isabella and I think it's time that I redeem myself as a parent''
''What are you trying to say?''
''I think I'm capable of raising Isabella and I want to take her for custody''
They were silent for a moment. ''Ana, don't you think it's too late for that?'' asked Stef, '' I mean she already lives here with us''
''Yeah, and I know Mike takes care of her too, I just feel like I should be a part of her life too''
''So you're just going to file for custody?'' Mike asked. Mike opposed of the decision of her taking custody of his daughter.
''Yes''
''But don't you think she's fine with her life here?'' asked Lena.
''Yeah, and you guys are doing well raising her, But I think I'm ready to step in''
Everyone sat in silence until Lena walked in the house.
After the party ended, Ana stayed at the house for the while. Ana walked through the hallway and looked at the pictures. She looked at a picture of Isabella when she was an infant. She walked into the kitchen and saw Isabella coloring in her coloring book and sat next to her. ''Hi'' she said to her. ''Hi'' Isabella looked up at her.
''What are you coloring there?'' Ana asked.
''Elsa'' replied Isabella.
''Is that your favorite princess?''
''No,mine's is Rapunzel''
''That's nice''
''Are you my real mommy?'' Isabella asked her.
''Yes'' Ana made eye contact with the four-year-old, ''Sweetie, I really regretted giving you up, But the only reason I did was because I wasn't a good mom''
''What's regret?''
''It's when you show remorse or wish something you haven't done, like I did''
''What did you do you?''
''I've done things that were really bad, and I didn't know that it would hurt everyone including your brother and sister''
''Sweetheart, I only gave you up because I wanted what's best for you''
''It's ok. I forgive you'' Isabella hugged Ana. Isabella remembered her mothers teaching her about forgiveness. Ana hugged her back and gave a small smile. ''Thank you, Isabella'' she said.
