"Hey."
"Hey." Simon responds.
"Why are you in your room doing homework the past few days?"
"Cause I want to do well and I got in trouble with Hank." Simon responds.
"What did you do?"
"I came home past curfew because I walked home from the pool hall since I drank two bottles of beer." Simon says.
"Simon! You should know better than that and how long are you on restriction?"
"The rest of this week." Simon responds to Matt's question.
"Why did you walk home?"
"Cause I wasn't sure I could drive and I hoped that Hank or Julie were in bed but Hank wasn't, Julie was. I also thought that Hank would have told you so I didn't want to do something that he has restricted me from doing in case he told you."
"Oh. He didn't."
"So, what should we do?" Simon says in embarrassment.
"You will have to finish your punishment."
"Okay." Simon tells his big brother.
"By the way, for the rest of this school year, you will have curfew at 10:00pm and the same would go for Ruthie as well as the twins when they get older. Okay."
"Okay." Simon responds as Matt leaves the room.
A few months later Hank, Julie and their kids came back by plane to go to Simon's graduation as well as the kids who went.
"You know, your parents would have been proud of you." Julie says.
"Thanks. I wish they could be here."
"I know, so do I." Julie says.
Hank, Julie and their kids stayed a few days then went back to Poway which they really enjoyed living in and Hank enjoyed his job. Simon went to Crawford and started in the fall while working and still at home, Ruthie is going to the 10th grade and the twins in the 2nd grade. Ruthie got the classes she wanted, enjoyed being in High School and wanted to be an investigator or a police officer. One day Matt and Sarah were in school studying so Simon who didn't have to work decided to spend the day with Ruthie and the twins after school. Simon helped Ruthie with homework then made hot dogs when dinner came then cleaned the kitchen so they can study in their rooms. Later that evening Simon put the twins to bed as Ruthie and him went to bed later that night.
January 2006-
The kids went back to school after the visit from Julie, Hank and their kids for Christmas, which they enjoyed. The kids started school again as Simon's college baseball team was doing very well while he had a lots of classes, Ruthie was doing well then had a boyfriend named Peter Brady and the twins were doing good but had a few problems that Ruthie came to help them with concerning school then school ended. Julie called Matt to tell her that Simon if he wanted to, Ruthie and the twins were invited to visit Poway for a month in a nice house with a pool which Matt told her he would call her back. A few weeks later Ruthie, and the twins went to Poway as Simon couldn't go because of work and school. Ruthie and the twins came back a month later; Simon picked them up then found out that they had a great time. Then the third anniversary of the explosion came as the kids thought of their parents then school started as the transfer process to USC was starting for Simon which he hoped to go to in the Spring with a scholarship which he does. Sarah who quit school four months ago was due to have a baby within a month got a baby shower then Lucy, Kevin, and Mary got ready to be helpful when the baby comes while Matt and Sarah went for a checkup that included a sonogram that will surprise them. Mary was doing well in school then got a job at the school to be an assistant basketball coach which she enjoyed doing. Lucy had finished school and had a few seminaries to transfer to even one at Kobel Seminary that her father had gone to. So she and Kevin talked and they decided to go to the Duke Seminary in Denver, Colorado. Kevin put in the paperwork to be transferred to Denver which went through and Lucy and Kevin left for Denver to check for homes and check on the seminary. They then came back and the Camden gang had a good luck party for Lucy and Kevin then June came around and Lucy and Kevin left for Denver.
September 2007-
Ruthie was excited to be graduating with her friends but sad that her parents couldn't be there but she knew they would be proud of her as well as they would have been proud of Simon. Since Sam and David were in the 4th grade Ruthie did more helping out since Mary, Lucy and Kevin would help out with the quadruplets that Sarah had. Also Ruthie got her driver's license as well as got a used car since Mary decided to sell her car when she was using the Colonel's car and Lucy taught Ruthie how to drive last year. On a Sunday night, Ruthie wanted to go to a party with her friends but Matt and Sarah told her no because her friend's parents weren't going to be there. So after everyone was asleep, she got dressed, then snuck out as her friends were in the car as they drove to the place where there was a party. Then about 2am Ruthie and her friends drove home and it would not be a good decision on their part.
