Chapter 754.
"The S. Silvers, and Leslie."

(December 22. Caliper Prison, Huron.)

We now return to the local prison, in which Leslie is residing, and she walks down the halls and is being guided by some soldiers, to keep her from escaping. Even though she doesn't seek to make a run for it at all. She doesn't seem pleased to even do anything, not after what she had been through.

Now, she has a child inside of her and is weeks old. She knows that this child inside of her would soon come with the month of August arrives next year, and this 14-year old girl doesn't know what to do is she has this child within, it feels like a horrific burden within, and yet she feels kinda... Happy.

Leslie has been treated less hard in this place, which she did not know was the request from Lincoln, Luna, Sam, Jordan and Peter Harris, because she has a child within, Leslie must not be given to much hardship and kept a close eye on.

They all fear that Leslie might lose her thoughts and her sanity, and she might end up killing herself and if that does happen, then the life inside of her will be taken away from the world as well. They don't want that, and yet this is the choice of Leslie, and she hasn't even responded on what she wants to do.

But, they have noticed, that Leslie doesn't wanna get rid of this child, and would rather keep it. Almost as if, she too doesn't wanna surrender the life of a child within her, and yet it scares her so much to have to endure this. She has so many mixed emotions right now.

Leslie continues to walk and has her hands cuffed, and she sighs. 'Chances the Louds and Rosato are gonna be the ones who wanna see me. Well, whatever they want, whatever they seek... I don't think I have what they need. All I wanna do, is be left here with the life inside me. To raise as my own.'

Leslie then arrives to the visiting room, and not the interrogation room and she has never ever been to a room where the inmates speak with the folks on the others side of the juvie and prison walls. She never did get the point of these kinds of parts for prison's and juvenile halls, and now she knows why.

Leslie then sees that the visiting room already has some folks there, and those folks are the trio she didn't wanna meet ever again, and not because she hates them... Well, I guess she sorta hates them, but also because she is slightly afraid of them. Delilah, Harvey and Helena, the S. Silver family.

Leslie then goes over but she does not sit and she just stands there and looks to the family. "So, what the heck do you guys want and why the heck are you here?"

Delilah is the one who speaks. "Hey Leslie, good to see ya too. Please sit, we need to talk, please."

Leslie doesn't and she looks to them sternly. "No, I won't sit down and you can't make me..."

Then Helena speaks to her. "Leslie, sit down now!" Leslie is startled by this and she does so. But she questions to herself why she sat down. Helena then calms down. "Sorry, Leslie. But you weren't being cooperative and I don't wanna do that again, sorry."

Leslie then speaks. "N-No... I'm sorry for being rude, I just..." She then looks to them. "Why are you all here?"

Harvey then speaks. "Leslie, allow me to be the first one to say how sorry I am you went through this. We thought that you'd remain in jail after what you have done, but we didn't think something this horrible would be brought upon you. You're not meant for what you had to endure."

"Also, I feel bad after what went down with my brother and his wife... You're parents, they didn't deserve that and I just don't know what to do after what went down, I don't have any other relatives or siblings, this is hard on us... But we know that it is harder on you."

Helena then speaks. "We never wanted you to go through this, and yet it happened and we only wished it never did and you were spared from the horror you had to endure. We're sorry for... Leslie?"

They see Leslie in tears, these are not the same kind of fake tears that they have seen from Leslie, these are legit real and sorrowful. Leslie is in deep pain, misery and turmoil. Delilah then stands up and she sits next to Leslie, and she places an arm around her and pulls Leslie close to her.

This makes Leslie stop sobbing and she looks to Delilah. "W-What are you doing? I thought that you..."

"Yeah, I did... Well, I used to." Delilah then makes Leslie look to her. "Leslie, look... We both have been through some times, and those times were the conflicts we had against each other, and tried to go at it at each other's throats with no mercy and you hated me, just as I hated you."

"But, things have changed, and our lives have been altered into something we did not see coming. Leslie... Though you have done wrong, I didn't think you would be redeemed or given a second chance, but after what you have been through... I can see... We all can see that you are capable of changing."

Leslie is still confused, and she wipes away her own tears. "I don't deserve anything from you, not after all the trouble I caused to you and the others in Royal Woods and all of Tuscola. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for all that I have done."

Helena then goes over and she also places a hand on Leslie's shoulder. "Leslie, we understand and after what you have been through, we now see that you have shown regret and guilt for your actions, and that means you are changing and we're happy for that."

"And all because of this." she holds onto her belly, Leslie knows that this change is all because of what she had endured. "And what I went through, I now see what it is like to be miserable, to be those who I have walked over and ruined. I just... I was a horrible, horrible person, and I don't deserve to live."

This shocks them, and then Leslie is slapped by Delilah. Harvey and Helena scold their daughter. "Delilah!"

Delilah ignores them and she sees Leslie looking to her with hurt in her eyes. "Leslie, sorry for doing that... And, I have spoken the same words about you that you shouldn't live. But after what you went through... You deserve the chance to have a second chance, to change for the better."

"You have shown that, and what you went through is something someone kike you should've never ever endured, and I don't want you to go through this horror. I don't want you to suffer and end your life. We wanna help you, we wanna be there for you... Because Leslie, you are still family to us."

"She is right." Harvey stands up, he goes over and sits with them. "Leslie, you have suffered and endured the worse. We don't want you to waste your life, and all because of something horrible, we wanna help you go through this unholy ordeal, together as a family."

Helena is next to speak. "Leslie, we don't want you to feel alone anymore. We want you to know that you still have others who still love you, and are willing to give you a chance of redemption even with the many problems you have made. We want you to be forgiven and trusted by others."

Leslie is surprised, and confused. "Wait, what are you saying? What's going on here?"

"Leslie..." The 14-year old looks to the 15-year old teen. "Delilah, we wanna adopt you into our family, I want to help you and be there for you... Not as former cousins, but as newly made sisters."

Leslie is shocked, she didn't see this coming, nor has she ever thought something would be made such as this. "W-What?"

Helena and Harvey then ask. "Leslie, do you wanna become part of our family? Do you want to be part of the Silvers once more?"

"No..." This surprises them. "I don't want to..." Leslie then looks to them with tears in her eyes. "B-But... I need to... I need to be back, I don't wanna be alone! Please!"

Delilah then goes over and hugs Leslie, and Leslie returns the embrace and soon Helena and Harvey join in as well, comforting the shattered Leslie and showing her, that she is not alone, and that she still has family, and that she can be given the chance to have a new and better life.

As this goes on, they do not notice that there are other folks watching them from the catwalk nearby, and the ones watching them are Lincoln Loud and Jordan Rosato, and seeing this moment for Leslie to see that there is hope for her and that she is not alone, touches they're hearts.

Lincoln then whispers to Jordan. "So, seeing as that she has changed, are we going for it?"

Jordan nods and she whispers back. "I think we should, we should let her out and try to embrace the change going on now. After all, Christmas is inbound and someone like Leslie, doesn't deserve to be locked away, and not enjoy the new life she is about to get."

Lincoln and Jordan continue to watch this moment happen, knowing that this is the start of something new, for whatever fate has for Leslie S. Silver.

To be continued in the next chapter.

A/N: Well, looks like the one girl we have hated in this story is about to get one major change, and that change is being part of a family she never thought she would be a part of. Time for Leslie to become someone else, but what of the life within her? Well, that is for Leslie to decide. Leave a review and tell me want you all think everyone.
