In the apartment, Maya was cooking some food as Hannah stood near her. Hannah then said, "When is Aunt Riley and her girlfriend gonna get here?" Maya then said, "Any second now." Then the two heard the door-bell ring. Maya then said, "Shoot. Chicken just finished. Hannah sweety, get the door for me." Hannah nodded and said, "Okay." Then Hannah rushed over to the door and opened it to see Riley and Megan. Then Hannah made eye contact with Megan and gasped. Megan then looked into Hannah's eyes with shock as she said, "Oh God. Are you… Hannah?" Hannah then looked at Megan with shock as she said, "Mom?" Riley stood now shocked as she said, "Megan... is this..." Then Maya appeared around the corner as she said, "Sorry about not greeting you. Had to get the chicken out of the oven. I'm Maya, and... wait... are you..."

All of the women stood in shock as they tried to process what to do next. Suddenly tears appeared in Hannah's eyes as she looked up at Megan and said, "Mom..." Tears then appeared in Megan's eyes as she got on her knees and said, "Hannah. Oh my God. I... I am so sorry." Then suddenly Hannah's face became one of anger as she yelled, "Sorry!? Sorry for abandoning me and ruining my life!? I HATE YOU!" Then suddenly Hannah ran away to her room, causing Megan to break down and begin crying. Maya who looked very caught off guard said, "Um... I'll talk to her." Maya then chased after Hannah as Megan began to ball up in a corner as Riley put her arms around her.

Hannah sat on her bed fondling the locket she had around her neck. Maya then calmly walked in and sat near Hannah as she softly said, "Hey. Wanna talk about what happened?" Hannah then looked up and in a frustrated tone said, "Like how I totally screwed up my reunion with my birth mother?" Maya with still a soft voice said, "Well since you brought it up... you wanna explain why you said those things you said? Especially when you had already proclaimed how you would be ready to forgive her if you ever met her." Then Hannah said, "Yeah. But... that was all back when I didn't think it would happen. But when I saw her there... I... I just got angry. And now I feel like I'm worse than her." Maya then put an arm around Hannah and said, "No, you're not a worse person. You've had a lot of feelings about your birth mother. Sad ones, angry ones, confusing ones. And you never had a chance to share them with her till now." Hannah sighed and said, "I mean... I wanna forgive her but... a part of me is still mad that she gave me up so long ago." Maya nodded and said, "And you should never like that it happened to you. It's terrible. But... she did say she is sorry. And by some strange stroke of fate, your birth mother is dating my best friend. Which means there must be something redeemable about her. So maybe we should find out what it is." Hannah nodded and said, "Yeah. But first um... maybe we should get my brother and Josh over here. They probably should be part of this too." Maya nodded and said, "Oh yeah. I totally agree."

Riley and Megan sat together in Maya's living room silent, as Megan looked down at the floor. Megan then without looking at Riley said, "So... don't you have any questions for me?" Riley took a deep breath and said, "Megan... you only have to tell me if..." Megan then interrupted Riley and said, "I had an abortion Riley. A year before I had Hannah and Jacob, I was pregnant and I had an abortion. And it killed me inside, I was a nervous wreck, I felt wicked all over. So when I was pregnant again, I promised I would let my babies be born but... I knew I couldn't be a good mother to them Riley. Because how can someone so cruel be a good mother? How can someone so despicable be..." Then Riley suddenly interrupted Megan and hugged her tightly. Tears appeared in Megan's eyes as she said, "Riley... how can you forgive me so easily? I thought you would be furious if I finally told you all the details." Riley made a warm smile as she said, "I could never be angry with you. Because only someone who had seen the light and was truly sorry, would feel devastated over what they did." Megan then looked into Riley's eyes as she said, "I was devastated over what I did Riley. It's saddened me for years." Then Riley put her forehead against Megan's gently as she said, "But you don't have to be sad any longer."

Then Riley moved her head away and motioned to the nearby doorway. Megan turned her head and saw her two children: Hannah and Jacob walk in. Jacob who looked the most caught off guard said, "Mom?" Tears appeared in Megan's eyes as she nodded her head and said, "Yeah." Then Jacob ran towards Megan and yelled, "I knew you were out there!" Then Jacob and Megan immediately hugged one another as the two held onto each other tight for a solid thirty seconds. Then Hannah slowly walked towards the two. Megan then looked into Hannah's eyes and put her hands on the sides of Hannah's face as she said, "Oh my gosh. My beautiful little girl." Then Megan, Hannah, and Jacob all hugged one another.

Some time later in the living room, Riley and Maya sat on one side of the room while Megan sat talking with Hannah and Jacob. As Riley and Maya watched the three, Riley said, "So... now that the tension has been lifted, now... we have a really awkward situation on our hands." Then Maya said, "I know. Me and Hannah were just starting to feel like a mother and daughter, and now..." Riley then put a hand on Maya's hand and said, "And that won't change. Me and Megan still have to sort some things out. I don't know if she or even I am ready to be a full-time parent yet. Plus, I would never want to take Hannah or Jacob away from you and Josh." Then Maya said, "And I don't wanna take away Megan's opportunity to see her kids grow up." Then Riley said, "Well maybe when me and Megan are ready... we could share in that opportunity." Maya then made a little smile as she said, "What? You mean like share the job of being parents to them?" Riley nodded and said, "Sure. I wouldn't mind helping you raise two rambunctious kids." Suddenly Megan walked over to Riley and Maya, and looked directly at Maya as she said, "Maya... thank you for raising my two kids. I can tell you have done so much for them, and... I don't want me being in their lives now to ruin your relationship with them." Then Maya smiled and said, "Well it doesn't have to. Me and Riley were just talking about a joint custody arrangement I'd be happy to explore. I mean I don't see any harm in Hannah and Jacob having one dad and three moms." A surprised Megan said, "You mean it?" Maya nodded as she smiled and said, "I'd trust Riley with my kids, and because she trusts you, so do I. So... wanna talk on the world of parenting with me co-mom?" Maya then held out a hand of friendship, and then Megan shook Maya's hand as she said, "Sounds like a good plan to me."

THE END

*Author's Note – First off, sorry for this last chapter taking so long to come out. I had tons of drama going on in my life, and just couldn't bring myself to write this and instead just felt more comfortable writing my other recent stories which gave me better comfort. Also, I held back on publishing this because this is the last chapter I had planned on this series and in a silly way: I didn't want it to end. Thanks to all those that supported this series. I hope you got a lot of it, because I definitely did. It was a different type of story I wrote versus other things I typically write. It was enjoyable to write something cleaner and more family friendly (sorry in advance for those that are shocked by my other works). But it was a definitely a fun ride writing this series, and thank you to all readers who came along for the full journey.
