Edwin woke up to his phone ringing, being too early for it to be Hilda and the two other kids he rolled over and answered.

"Edwin Prentiss speaking."

"Edwin, I'd say how nice to hear from you, but it's late here and very early there."

"Elizabeth, I should've known." Edwin smiled. "What can I do for you this early late day?"

"I need to ask you a very serious question."

"Alright."

"You know Emma is part of Emily's family, which means she is part of mine also."

"Elizabeth if you are asking for Emma to live with you, I'd have to ask you to take Jason also."

"Edwin, I will gladly take both of them."

"Elizabeth, I know we didn't leave off on the right foot, but it only takes someone that truly loved someone else to tell them their children are suffering, and I will forever love you for helping me see this."

"Edwin, I know you would've done the same."

"I'm not so sure about that Elizabeth." Edwin sighed. "How is Andrew doing?"

"Dating a horrible woman, Alexandria."

"Alexandria Carter?" Edwin asked, he had met the girl once when she was younger, the child was very stuck up.

"Yes, that's her."

"That's the girl at your function all those years ago, that insulted your taste in cuts of meat."

"The filet mignon girl, really?"

"Yes, I hear her father is in some hot water right now for his son's living with a gay man?"

"I heard about that." Elizabeth smiled. "Though his son is not gay, he has no problem with gays."

"He's ahead of his father's times." Edwin smiled.

"Politically he should go far."

"How many of our friend's children do you think will be like Emily? And not want to go into politics?"

"I'm not sure Edwin, I think most of them will want to." Elizabeth said. "I mean, want to go into politics."

"I know what you meant Elizabeth." Edwin smiled. "I hear Jason is getting into the political side of his life."

"I don't know how far he'll get with his childish ways he sometimes lets shine through."

"You remember me when I was his age?"

"Yes Edwin I was married to you already." Elizabeth chuckled.

"He should do just fine, we always need a care free person."

"He will do just fine, after all he is a Prentiss."

"So that's why you kept my name" Edwin chuckled.

"I wasn't known as anything else but a Prentiss in the political world, I wasn't going to go change that."

"I should let you go, it's getting later there." Edwin said.

"No it's alright, I don't have to be up till later tomorrow."

"Today."

"Yes, fine, today." Elizabeth laughed. "Would you mind telling me about the children of yours I'm taking in?"

"Oh Emma and Jason?"

"No Hilda and those kids. Yes Emma and Jason."

"Emma has suffered a lot since her mother's death, Jason I'm not so sure, he's very much a loner. They are both really good kids."

"So you don't really know much about them…"

"Yes."

"That's how I was with Emily and Andrew, you have six children Edwin, don't let some of them suffer."

"Elizabeth, I don't want to give up my job yet."

"I know Edwin, Jason and Emma being with me for a bit will help them open up to you."

"Thank you for taking them Elizabeth."

"Edwin, I'm not taking them for you."

"I know."

"So tell me, where are you going to take a stand on Emily and Emma's relationships?"

"I'm their father, and I will always support them, no matter what their choices."

"See, you make a great father Edwin." Elizabeth smiled. "All it takes is to love and support them."
