Me: Here's it is the finale!

Atrus: NO!

Me: I'll be back soon with the sequel

Raven: Yayy!

A few days went by and there was still tension in the house. Glory was due to arrive in a few days, and the kids still weren't that enthused. Jason was practicing his graduation speech while Angelo helped him get ready for NYU with dorm stuff. Joanne had gotten a position with the New York State dept of Education in the student civil liberties department and had to move to Albany in a few weeks. Kyle had to figure out what to do about him and Rachel since they would be so far away.

The night before Glory was supposed to arrive, a dry run was set so everyone knew their part. "Okay, now I don't think it's necessary for all of us to be at the airport, we don't want to scare her." Mark said, "The agent said that the people who should be there should only be the ones who she will live with primarily so it's us, Ria and Ryan."

"Dad I told you already we're not coming to go see this new kid!" Ryan started

"It's bad enough we're in this sick twisted group of genetic mismatches you two call a family, we're not messing her mind up either!" Ria added

Roger couldn't take anymore from these two, "Okay that's it. You two have done NOTHING but complain and whine ever since we told you. I don't have much time, I've got less than a year left and I am NOT gonna sit here and listen to my two UNGRATEFUL kids take out so much trivial anger on an innocent child!"

Everyone was silent for a while; from then on things were quite different between the four of them.

Glory's flight came in at 5:45 that morning. Both her dads and siblings were there at the gate as she toddled next to her caseworker holding her teddy bear. She had pretty jet-black hair and dark eyes. Ryan was they're filming the whole thing while Ria on the other hand sat there watching her dad fuss all over this new kid.

The caseworker, Ms. Rapp brought out the final paperwork for Mark and Roger to finish out and left Glory with Ria and Ryan.

Ria sat there and stared at Glory who was sucking her thumb. "She's kind of cute" Ryan said.

"Yeah, I guess"

"So what do you think will happen now?"

"My dad's running out of time and we're gonna have to help your dad out too."

"But what about us?"

"Ryan…there can't be an us anymore. It's too messed up, and with Glory and all…"

Ryan sat there for sometime with his head down, "I don't get why, but I guess I have to live with it."

Ria (thinking): I just came to say

Goodbye Love

Goodbye Love

Just came to say

Goodbye Love

Goodbye

After sometime it was time to go home, where the rest of the boheme family was there to meet the youngest boho. Glory was a little nervous and hid behind Mark's leg as the other kids tried to get a glimpse of her. Angelo had the camera out again, filming the whole thing.

"Close up on our new boho, Glory Cohen-Davis our resident cutie pie" he said.

A few days after that it was Jason's graduation day. Everyone came as he gave his speech.

"It's been one great year for the class of '06. We've had our ups and downs but all managed to survive. I can't think of anyway to describe it but extraordinary, tumultuous and wild. But I can honestly say that I couldn't imagine it any other way"

The crowd all applauded as he finished and received his diploma. After that they went back to the loft to pack, Maureen, Joanne, and Kyle had to move to Albany in a few days, Jason and Angelo were moving into the dorms (Angelo had tested out so he could graduate early) and Mark, Roger and the kids were moving to Santa fe since it was a warmer climate and Roger needed to be in a better area to breathe.

After the last box was packed everyone stood in the empty loft.

"Can you believe we're really leaving?"

"I know it's so sad, we've lived here forever" Ryan added

"I guess it's for the best at least Glory can play in the desert and not in the streets here."

"Well Benny's still letting me and Angelo use it as a studio and Rachel's gonna come and visit." Jason added

" Do you think we'll ever be together again?" Ria asked

"I don't know I guess we have to wait and see" Mark replied as he picked up a picture of Nadia and one of Angel and Mimi along with Collins favorite book.

There is no past

They got all of their boxes and headed downstairs leaving the loft…for good.

Atrus: WAHHH!

Me: Don't worry I have a sequel in the works

Raven: YAYY!

Angel: Whee Vacation!

Collins: I'll get the sunscreen

Raven: For the last time R&R!

Me: I have steak for the last chappie!
