Later that night, the baby shower was wrapping up and Mr. Turtle was cleaning up the gift wrap with Mo's help.
"I'm happy that you wanted to help Mo." Mr. Turtle said.
"It's not trouble at all, Mr. Turtle." Mo smiled.
"Dad, do you know if there are any old cherry trees around here?" Franklin asked.
"Well, when I was a boy, your granny took me cherry picking in an old orchard near a lake by the mountain." Mr. Turtle replied.
"An old orchard near a lake by the mountain," Franklin recited to himself to remember. "Thanks, Dad!"
"Cherries sure are nice..." Mo smiled as she then picked up the bag and threw it over her shoulder.
"Oh, yes, and these were sweeter than candy," Mr. Turtle agreed as he smiled to his son, only to see he wasn't there anymore. "When it's cherry season, we should... Go there."
"Where'd he go?" Mo asked.
Granny hummed to herself as she was painting the spare room pink with all sorts of pretty designs such as birds, flowers, stars, and butterflies.
"Granny, if I was going to look for a squire, where would I find one?" Franklin asked his grandmother.
"Well... I'm not sure," Granny shrugged as she painted a bird on the wall. "A squire is someone who travels with you."
"You mean like a friend?" Franklin asked.
"Like a loyal friend," Granny smiled. "Standing by you through thick-" she then saw her grandson wasn't there anymore. "And thin..."
Mrs. Turtle was dipping her quill into a pot of ink as she began to write a letter.
"Mom, what else did the Green Knight need besides a sword and shield?" Franklin asked.
"Well, I'd expect he'd probably bring some food to eat." Mrs. Turtle said as she began to write.
"Food." Franklin recited.
"Would you like a cookie before bedtime?" Mrs. Turtle smiled before looking up. "Franklin?" she then saw her son had gone somewhere else and took the plate of cookies with him. "Oh, well, at least he left one for me."
"Are you being a good little boy for Mr. and Mrs. Turtle?" Mo smiled to her little brother.
"Yes, Mo." Junior smiled back.
"That's good." Mo said.
"I am too, Mo." Rosie added.
"Good, Rosie." Mo smiled to the girl her brother secretly liked.
"We're both good kids." Junior smiled.
"Yes, you are," Mo smiled back. "You two are very lovely for your ages, now you can get married." she then added teasingly which made the two five-year-olds blush to each other.
"W-What?" Junior gulped.
"When I grow up, I wanna get married." Rosie giggled.
"Uh, l-let's keep that thought for the future." Junior blushed.
Rosie hugged Junior which made him turn even more red.
Franklin soon came to his room with the cookies. "Guys, I'm leaving, I'm going on a quest to bring Spring to Woodland."
"Uh, Franklin, I think we should just wait for Spring to come on its own." Rosie said.
"That's right." Mo agreed.
"I have to do it," Franklin insisted. "Spring is taking a while and I'm going to make it come to Woodland, I'll be the Green Knight."
"But the Green Knight is just a story." Rosie said.
"If you guys aren't going to help, then I'll go off on my own." Franklin then decided.
'I already know that if we don't go with him, Franklin will get lost.' Mo thought to herself.
Franklin set the cookies down and he looked through his toy chest to find some sorts of armor to be as the Green Knight.
"You'll need some company on this travel." Mo said.
"I'm going to find a Squire." Franklin said.
"And who might it be?" Rosie asked.
"If you wanna find out, you'll come with me." Franklin said as he was still insistent on leaving to bring Spring to his hometown.
"Alright." Junior said.
"Should we go?" Rosie asked.
"Just to make sure he doesn't get lost." Mo said.
Junior pouted and then hugged his big sister nice and tight.
"I have a feeling this adventure might not have much dangers." Rosie said.
"I'm sure Drell wouldn't let you two go on anything dangerous at your age." Mo replied.
"Whew." Junior sighed.
"Who is Drell anyway?" Rosie asked.
"I'll tell you sometime," Mo said. "It's time for bed now."
Junior and Rosie then nodded and went to join Franklin for bed. All of them soon went to bed.
Mo was outside and she sighed as age couldn't melt the snow for long.
'Don't worry, my dear...' A female voice soothed in Mo's head. 'You'll be ready sometime...'
"Who's there?" Mo asked.
'Tell me if this sounds familiar...' The female voice before singing a lullaby.
Mo closed her eyes before starting to sniffle. "Mom!"
'That's right, my dear.' Her mother's voice said.
Mo wiped her eyes until her biological mother appeared.
"Hi, honey." Estelle smiled to her daughter.
Mo sniffled and ran to her birth mother and hugged her right away.
"You've gotten so big." Estelle smiled.
Mo sniffled and wiped her eye. "I miss you so much."
"I miss you too, sweetie," Estelle coaxed. "I'm sorry your nature powers didn't work all the way, but as you get older, they'll develop. Like when you were a baby, you made a flower all by yourself."
"Yeah, I know." Mo smiled.
"That was good what you did at Camp Everfree, especially with meeting your brother and sister," Estelle soothed. "Don't worry about your powers, you should be able to get the hang of them once you get older."
"That's what they always say..." Mo sighed.
"Though, even though Franklin's story is just a story, it seems likely that he might be able to bring Spring with Rosie and Junior." Estelle then said.
"Wait, what?" Mo asked.
"I know it sounds unusual, but Franklin shouĊd prove himself as worthy as the Green Knight from long ago." Estelle told her daughter.
"But doesn't he want to do this because he thinks it will let everyone pay attention to him more than the baby?" Mo asked.
"He may feel that way now, but he'll be better once the baby is finally born." Estelle replied.
"How do you know for sure?" Mo asked.
"I'm your mother, I know everything," Estelle giggled. "Besides, Gloriosa and Timber were almost the same way when you were about to be born."
"So, it's normal for Franklin to feel this way?" Mo asked.
"It happens to a lot of children, especially in Franklin's age." Estelle nodded.
"When will he learn that having a baby sibling isn't that bad?" Mo asked.
"He'll have his ups and downs with the baby, that's just how brothers and sisters are," Estelke said. "Even Yakko, Wakko, and Dot."
"I didn't know those three had their ups and downs." Mo said.
"Every sibling does once in a while," Estelle replied. "Nobody's perfect, Monique. How do you think Atticus's sister felt before he was born? She didn't like it at first, especially since she had to leave her best friend Amethyst."
"She must have been heartbroken." Mo frowned.
"Oh, no doubt..." Estelle nodded. "It's okay, Monique, in time, Franklin will learn, but there will be rough patches now and then when the baby is born, but he'll love being a big brother more than anything else in the whole world."
"That's good." Mo said.
"Life is a balance..." Estelle nodded. "Do you have any other questions or thoughts, my dear?"
"Yes, I do; why didn't my powers help bring Spring?" Mo asked.
"You're not ready yet," Estelle said. "Spring is not ready yet, it will come when it is ready."
"Alright." Mo said.
"Anything else?" Estelle asked.
"I just hope Spring comes soon to Woodland." Mo replied.
"It will." Estelle said.
"Thanks, Mom..." Mo smiled. "Your name's Estelle, right?"
"Yes, it is." Estelle nodded with a smile back.
"I've always loved that name." Mo replied.
"I've always loved it too." Estelle smiled.
Mo and Estelle shared one more hug and soon enough, Mo opened her eyes and looked around to see her mother had gone. The only thing left was a squirrel who was crawling into a tree to store its nuts for food, but the squirrel seemed to look back at Mo and wink at her. Mo soon smiled as she knew that was her mother.
The next day, everyone woke up to find more snow on the ground, but Franklin was ready to begin his quest to bring Spring to his home just like in The Green Knight. Junior and Rosie were both going to go with him.
"It's morning, Sam," the young turtle told his stuffed dog. "Time to get ready."
"And we're coming with." Junior said.
"Great." Franklin smiled as he set his toy dog next to his pet fish, Goldie's bowl.
Junior and Rosie then opened a box that showed armor and suitable clothes that Mo had made from borrowing Cherry and Atticus's magic while she was here to help her little brother and his best human friend. They even had toy swords to look like real knights on a mission and even Rosie did even though she was a girl.
"Cool." Rosie smiled.
"Thanks, Momo and Atty." Junior whispered once he knew where the stuff came from.
"Green Knight to the rescue!" Franklin smiled as he drew out his play sword. "In just a few hours, Spring will be here and it'll be all because of me!"
"We better get a move on." Junior said.
"The Green Knight is off now, in search of a Squire," Franklin told Sam and Goldie. "Bye, guys!"
The three young kids then left the house and went to look for a squire for Franklin's quest to bring Spring to Woodland.
