The rest of that week was a blur, Jake could hardly remember it, it was so great. There had been the house hunting, the search for a suitable pre-school for Cameron, and looking for a job for Monica. All of these were found, and it wasn't long before Monica had boarded her plane back to San Francisco. Sylvia's Diary, Monica had promised, was the last film she'd ever make. But she had to finish the last 3 months of shooting, or else she'd be sued for breach of contract.
Jake had managed to convince her mother to let her stay at Rawley Boys – it would be less awkward, rather than having to move all her stuff over the lake and admit that she masqueraded as a boy for so long. Monica understood Jake's reluctance to create a scene, and, after a long discussion with Dean Fleming, agreed to let Jake remain where she was.
Hamilton was finding himself in an increasingly more difficult situation with his mother. He'd promised Jake he wouldn't tell anyone about her mother staying, but Monica herself was intent on meeting the other parent of her daughters "significant other", as she liked to refer to Hamilton.
Jake herself was content, something she hadn't been in a long while. I've got Hamilton, she thought to herself, and a great baby sister, a Mom who's actually going to acknowledge me for once, a great school with loads of friends…..what else could I ask for? And smiling to herself, she carried on her (vaguely) normal life. After a long discussion, Monica decided to let Jake stay at Rawley Boys. This bothered the Dean, but Monica said she would handsomely recompense both the school, and Steven personally. Jake was ecstatic – she could be near Hamilton every day, and would no longer have to be careful in front of the Dean. This made her so happy, and she revelled in the thought of long days full of love.
