Chapter Seventeen
Jason and the others just stood there not believing what they had just heard. Why would any of this good people want to adopt any of us we are nothing but garbage that our own families threw out. Mike spoke up and asked "why, why would any of you want to have us around. We're nothing but." Before he could say another word, Mary was across the room and she stood facing them and she said "listen to me and listen good! All of you and that includes my own son are good boys who had a terrible and vile thing happen to each of you, but that doesn't mean that you're no good. I've come, no we all have come to know each and everyone of you and there isn't a damn thing that any of you could say that would make us stop loving all of you, so what do you say do you want to stay here in Domino and be our sons or not?"
Greta then opened her arms and Peter ran to her and he said through his tears "I want more then anything to be your son." Steve went over to them and he embrace the woman he was going to marry and his new son and he whispered "you will be our son and no one can ever say anything different."
The door opened and in walked Shadi and Ishizu and she walked over to Mary and she said "we want to adopt one of this precious young men if we can." Mary's eyes filled with tears and she hugged them and before she could say a thing Chad walked over to Ishizu and he said "could I be your son?" Shadi the put his arm around Chad and he told him "you will forever be our son. Then Shadi went over to Steve and he asked him, please let us adopt you too and together we will be a strong family?"
Mary then went over to Jason and Mike and she said "will you both be our sons." She then looked up at Roland and he smiled at her and held out his hands to both Jason and Mike and said "we would love to have you as our sons, what do you say?" Jason then looked at Mary and asked "what about Joey and Serenity, what will they say?"
The door opened and in walked Seto, Joey, Mokie and Serenity and Serenity went over to her mom and she said "look I just got two more brothers, isn't that great." Joey then held out his hand and shook both Jason and Mike's hands and said "welcome to the family." Kenneth and Thomas stood there with tears running down their faces and Thomas whispered "well it looks like we're out of job." Kenneth then replied "but it's a great feeling knowing that we did help them along their journey from where they all first began to the end and their new beginnings."
Two day's later at the Justice of the Peace, Mary and Roland, Greta and Steve got married and then Seto called his Attorney and asked him to set up a meeting with a Judge about the adoption of the five young men." As he stood watching everyone celebrate, Seto walked over to Joey and put his arms around him and kissed Joey and Mary and her new husband smiled. "We might be having another Wedding soon an you and I will be getting three more sons." All of the three couples hoped that soon they would be signing the papers saying that they were the parents of their new sons. But there was going to be a glitch in their plans, they would have to contact the parents of all of them and have their parents sign their parental rights to Roland, Mary, Steve, Greta, Shadi and Ishizu and until then well they still stayed at the Manor and called them their parents anyways.
One day while Mary was listening to some of her favorite musicals on the CD player, she had an audience and didn't even know it. She had on the earphones and as she sang the songs, Jason and the others smiled at her performance. When she started singing the words to one of the songs, it made them all get teary eyed as they listened to what the words said. This is the song that she was singing, it was The Impossible Dream for Man from LaMancha.
To dream ... the impossible dream ...
To fight ... the unbeatable foe ...
To bear ... with unbearable sorrow ...
To run ... where the brave dare not go ...
To right ... the unrightable wrong ...
To love ... pure and chaste from afar ...
To try ... when your arms are too weary ...
To reach ... the unreachable star ...
This is my quest, to follow that star ...
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far ...
To fight for the right, without question or pause ...
To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause ...
And I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest,
That my heart will lie will lie peaceful and calm,
when I'm laid to my rest ...
And the world will be better for this:
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
To reach ... the unreachable star ...
When she was done, she turned around and there stood all of them with tears running down their faces and Peter said "that's the most beautiful song that I've ever heard. The words seem to be saying what we are all feeling right now.
Mary took off the earphones and went to them and she held them in her arms and she said "you know that each of you are reaching out and when all of this is over each and everyone of you will be able to reach that star."
Serenity came running into the room and she was really excited as she said "come quick Seto got word from the Judge and he's smiling and laughing and oh, momma I think that it has got to be about our new brothers."
