Julia got back to her bedroom with Serena. Henry stopped crying but was still on Barbie. Poor little guy, this was hard for him because he loved his father as much as he loves his mother. Henry and Serena look like they already love Dale. Barbie looked Henry and wiped his tears from his face.

''What do you want to eat buddy? Ask me anything! ''

''Pancakes ''

''Pancakes it is! Do you want to help me in the kitchen? ''

''Alright! ''

Barbie took henry in his arms and asked Julia if she want him to take Serena downstairs. She said yes so he also took Serena in his arms. He looked so happy with the two kids in his arms. Julia smiled because even though everything is not going well in her life there's new things to come. She kissed him.

''Eew, that's gross! '' said Henry.

''What that! '' Barbie kissed Julia again.

''Eew! '' laughed Henry.

''That's because I love your mother so much that I kiss her like that. ''

After this, Barbie got downstairs with the kids and they started prepare the breakfast. Julia grabbed her towel and went into the shower. She thought that she could get used to have Barbie in the house. They could be a family again and maybe add one baby to their new family. She was a little bit stressed of her new life, what if they don't get along as well as they think? She doesn't want to think about it because for now everything is going fine. When she got out of the shower she could hear Henry and Serena laughed downstairs. With just their little laugh she knew that they were good with Barbie. She dressed up quick to join them in the kitchen.

''What's going on in here? ''

''Serena dropped the flour on the floor. '' answered Henry.

''Wow, I can see that! ''

''Don't worry baby, that's my fault. I'll clean that. I made her laugh while she had the flour bag in her hand. '' told Barbie.

''Really? Well you have a beautiful clean up to do Mr. Barbara. '' laughed Julia.

''Come here you! '' He took Julia and put her some pancake mix in her face. She did the same on his face. ''Really, you want to play this game! ''

''Not today we don't really have the time because we have to go at the town hall at 11am for a meeting with the people of Chester's Mills.'' said Barbie.

''Ah, that's true. Henry and Serena you have to come with us. I'm not leaving you alone home. '' said Julia to reassure.

''Ok, is it about the thing outside the meeting? '' asked Henry.

''Yeah! We will eat and we will go see what is it alright? '' said Barbie.

''Yay! ''

''Little curious kid! '' answered Julia.

''Just like his mommy! '' told Barbie while laughing.

''What do you mean by that! '' said Julia surprised.

''I can't say it in front of the kids. '' said Barbie.

''Dirty mind! '' replied Julia while getting closer to kiss him.

Barbie finished the pancakes and Julia placed the table while the kids were watching a TV show. Once he finished cooking the pancakes, he went to get Henry and Serena to come eat. Julia prepared the plate for Serena and Barbie helped Henry with his. When they finished Julia asked Serena and Henry to go get dress while Barbie cleans the kitchen and mommy cleans the table. Henry ran back downstairs and stood in front of Barbie.

''I'm ready! '' told Henry to Barbie.

''Alright, I won't be long! ''

''Did your sister was ok Henry? '' asked Julia.

''I think so! ''

''Can you go see her please; I'll help Dale to clean so you could go out faster! '' said julia to Henry.

''Sure mommy! ''

Henry ran back upstairs.

''He's such a great kid Jules.''

''I know. ''

''You raised him good; you're a good mother to your kids. They love you way much than I love you! ''

''They mean the world to me! ''

''I can see that. ''

They finished cleaning the mess that Barbie did. Henry helped his sister to get downstairs. He held her hands all the way down the stairs. This was so cute. Barbie and Julia were ready to go out with them. Julia gave them their jackets and they went outside in front of her house. Barbie put one hand on the invisible wall so Henry did the same. Julia told the two boys that she will began walking towards the town hall. Serena has little leg so it's longer. The girls left and they stayed there in front of the wall for a while. When the four of them got together at the town hall meeting, people were surprised to see Barbie with Julia's little girl in his arm and Julia by his side. Nobody knew about them even if it's a small town. Rebecca Pine, one of the teachers at the school where Henry goes went to see Julia.

''I'm so sorry about what happen. I heard about Peter, this must be hard on you and your kids.''

''Thank you, it's hard for everyone who knew him but especially for Henry. We told him this morning. ''

''We? Sorry if I ask! ''

''Dale Barbara and I! ''

''That's why I saw Dale with your daughter Serena. You two are together.''

''We are. ''

''Since when? ''

''Maybe 6 months or less ''

''Oh that's brand new, I'm happy for you Julia. Take care of your kids and yourself. ''

''Thank you so much Rebecca. We will keep in touched. ''
