Lemy, one of the only 3 male children in the family who were in the house; The fourth and last was Toby who already had a life of his own with a beautiful woman, in addition to having a good job as a doctor in a hospital in Los Angeles, now returning with Luna's son and a Rock lover, little Lemy was sitting on the porch floor with his feet dangling in the air while he rested his hands on the railing so as not to fall forward onto the front yard grass

Lemy: Has anyone else noticed something strange with Lyna? -Lemy asked that on the air while he looked ahead as Lyna seemed to be teaching her father how to use the skateboard-

Bobby Jr: like what? that he ignores you just like he ignores Lyle and me or that now whenever he is with dad he takes him somewhere far away... -Bobby Jr was also sitting on the porch with his feet on the stairs eating some fried food that he also offered to him. Lemy and the others, I was also there to observe that- ... I can't believe how bad our father is, that or Lyna doesn't know how to teach.

Lincoln was laughing in the distance while he was next to Lyna, all because every time he tried to do a skateboard trick he ended up falling on his front or back on the ground; He wasn't very worried about learning it, he did it because he promised Lyna to spend more time with her, although he didn't understand why whenever Lyna asked him to play or be with her, he took him somewhere far away, sometimes he even did it. secretly telling him not to make noise as they left

Edie: Well, that's weird... But it's just Dad spending more time with Lyna, you have to admit that Rochelle monopolizes him a lot -Edie was saying that to Bobby Jr and Lemy while she was sitting in a two-person hammock chair, Next to him was Lari sitting using her cell phone without paying much attention to all of them.

Bobby Jr: It's true, speaking of my sister, where is she? -Bobby Jr. asked that because she still hasn't shown up to interfere with her and Lyna's father's fun, or separate them and then take her father away, that girl should talk to someone about her obsession before it gets worse. -

Lemy: she went to accompany Lary and Mom to buy some strings for their instruments, she didn't want to go but Aunt Ronnie forced her -Lemy said that with a smile remembering how they forced her into Vanzilla, she couldn't stand her hoarding anymore to Lincoln or always bothering everyone not to touch some things in the house, he acted as if they were guests; She even told her mother to stop moving things from her places and leave them the way she arranged them, that that's how her dad liked them.

Edie: poor thing, I hope that being away from daddy will lower your juices a little - Edie said that because she was very afraid of Rochelle, she always threatened him in some way for no reason, and she never let him spend much time with her " father"-

Lari: Rochelle isn't there? -Lari came out of her trance with the cell phone showing a small sparkle in her eyes, only to later with a smile leave her cell phone in one of her pockets, standing up only to then begin to get ready to look pretty-

She was going to go talk to her dad, but when she took a simple step she would feel someone grab her wrist and stop her; causing him to look down out of the corner of his eye in a very threatening way at Edie who was the one who was preventing him from going to his father.

Lari: what are you doing? -Lari spoke as if she were an unwanted person, she could never get close to her father the way she wanted and if she did, Rochelle took it upon herself to take her away from him, it was her golden opportunity-

Edie: ...Rochelle may be a problem, but you... You are a bigger problem -Edie told him that, also looking at him in a threatening way, at least Rochelle was a pain in the ass because she acted as if she were the special and favorite one; but at least she was better than a girl who didn't seem to have good wishes for her father-

Lari: will you also get between my father and me? -Lari asked him that because he had to be sure of that, he already had an enemy named Rochelle so he wouldn't have problems with another one-

2

Edie: I won't get between you and dad, but I will stop you from doing anything that puts our family at risk.

Both would remain in that position looking threateningly at each other, it was a fight of persistence in which the first to retreat an inch was going to lose, while both young adults looked into the eyes of their little brothers Lemy and Bobby Jr. They understood what she was going through, so after getting bored of looking at them, they decided to enter the house. At the same time, as both young people entered the house, a young white-haired girl, almost identical to Lyna, ran past a very tender Asian girl outside.

Both girls were Lina and Bed; Lina was Lyna's younger sister which seemed like her exact copy, she looked identical to Lyna at that age but with one difference which was her hair color, Lyna didn't say it but that bothered her and made her feel a little envious. From her younger sister, Lina, unlike Lyna, inherited her father's white hair, so when they started telling her about Lincoln they always said that his albino hair reminded them of Lincoln, but without the problems; that she was the best thing about Sam and Lincoln... So where did he leave her?

Lina: Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! -The little girl with white hair with a light blue lock came down the porch stairs almost jumping towards the grass only to then start running towards her father shouting excitedly-

Behind her, a small Bed with black hair followed her with her hands extended to her sides as if she were an airplane or some flying object, without showing a smile; She continued to have her tender expression of not understanding anything they were saying even though she did know how to speak English/Latin Spanish like them. On the other hand, Lyna, who was smiling happily as well as laughing a little at her father, as if she had been given cold water, looked with a pale expression at Lina, who was approaching with her spoiled child smile, as if she were a monster approaching her. father running alone to then tackle him by the waist, hugging him next to Bed who hugged his right leg and only looked up without showing any expression other than the one he always has

Lincoln: Wow haha, what's happening? -Lincoln was laughing while extending his arms to his sides for fear of falling when being tackled by Lina. Seeing that she didn't fall, he would lower his arms, placing one hand on Lina's back and the other on Bed's head while he looked at them with a little smile-

Without noticing that to their left, looking at them in a cold and murderous manner, was Lyna, who was observing her younger sister with resentment for what she was doing.

Lina: can you give us your cell phone? She doesn't have a bed and I want to play with her, please... It will only be a little while -Lina would separate from her father still with her hands clinging to Lincoln's clothes, pulling him a little while she closed her eyes and looked like she was going to scream. "Please" while tugging at his clothes-

Bed, on the other hand, just looked at him with bright little eyes without saying a word, he didn't speak but you could still feel how he was also begging him "Please" to give him the cell phone so he could play with his sister.

Lincoln: ... -He would stay for a few seconds thinking and looking at both girls, until, no longer able to refuse, he would let out a sigh and hand them his cell phone - ... Here you go, but then put it on charge

Lina would show an excited smile even greater than Leni's when she found a bargain offer, then while holding her father's cell phone she would notice that under his right foot there was a skateboard and that he seemed to be doing something fun, she would open her mouth to ask if They could stay with them, but when she looked at Lyna she would notice that her sister was completely furious like she had never been before.

Lina: ... Am ... -Lina would start to break out in a cold sweat while she looked askance at her sister Lyna who seemed to say a word by moving her lips; "Get out" - I'm leaving!

Lina, upon understanding what her older sister wanted to say, was scared, shouting that she was leaving alone and then ran away, followed by a Bed who was once again running with her arms extended to the sides as if she were an airplane, all that was needed was for her to make the noises with the mouth and it was already a plane

Lyna: ... -Lyna would stare at her little sister Lina running away scared only to turn her gaze to Lincoln, who was scared by her threatening look- ...are you getting bored? Dad

Lincoln: why are you looking at me like that? -Lincoln said that scared because she looked like a girl from a horror movie, the background song was just missing and it was already clear that she was going to stab him or push him in front of a car-

Lyna: because you said you were going to be with me, but Lina arrives and you completely forget about me -Lyna told him that, noticing that she was angry with him paying attention to Lina, something that Lincoln noticed was that Lyna, despite being the oldest He seemed to have a complex with his little sister about how much attention she received from everyone.

Lincoln: I was just answering them, I can't ignore them.

Lincoln would tell her that, noticing how Lyna didn't seem to completely believe that, so laughing a little at the strangeness of her attitude, he would settle down on the skateboard.

Lincoln: Now stop being so immature and tell me how I can do a pirouette with these things -Lincoln would stand on the skateboard, maintaining his balance so as not to fall from either side and preparing to do some cool move-

Lyna: pff hahaha... First you are getting sick and second, first you must learn to skate well. Then you learn the pirouettes

Lyna laughed at her father when he heard that he wanted to learn some trick or movement with skateboards, while he could barely move a few meters on the skateboard without falling on his front or back onto the sidewalk.
That afternoon both of them would have a good time together, Rochelle even after arriving and talking a little with her father did not interrupt them, she had already spoken with Lyna listening to her small problem that she did not receive attention from dad and that her younger sister Lina always received all the attention, she understood what it felt like to be moved by someone more outstanding so I would leave this day for her, although it would only be this day since it would not be repeated again.

Lincoln: And how was I? -Lincoln asked Lyna that while he was carrying her on his back on a piggyback, they had left the skateboards near her tree without worrying about them being stolen-

2

Lyna: you're terrible haha... -Lyna told him that, laughing with affection and a little mockery because it was really bad, but she also enjoyed it since she was alone with her father all day getting to know each other. doing something together for the first time- ...So I guess I'll have to keep teaching you

Lincoln would laugh a little at Lyna's words. Before, they didn't get along because of Lyna's defensive attitude, but now that she opened up to him, he was able to meet a fun girl who had many dreams and goals; Before, he didn't even know that Lyna dreamed of being an Astronomer, which is incredible since he thought she would be a singer like her mothers.

That night, as always, everyone ate together, even Lisa participated in dinner, they all had to be buttoned up but it didn't seem to bother anyone except for some of the minors. At dinner you could see how Lyna was getting along with Lemy again, although she continued acting less clingy than before, which seemed strange to Lemy, who didn't know that before she was only making a pass at him and that now she was acting like a simple friend, then On the other hand, for Lincoln it was something very uncomfortable.

Lincoln: ... -In silence he would be eating the pasta that Lori had made with Sam and Ronnie Anne, smiling because everything finally seemed calmer, discarding Lyra who seemed to continue hating him and for Sam who was uncomfortable because his Daughter Lyra as well as his wife Luna showed an immature attitude towards Lincoln-...!

Lincoln would suddenly get scared when he felt something moving on his right leg, in surprise he would jump a little before looking down noticing that it was Luna's hand who was sitting on his right; Lincoln was not sitting at the head of the table but they had let two people sit there, Rochelle and Edie.
While Lincoln was sitting to the right of Rochelle in one of the corners, thanks to the fact that Rochelle was sitting in that place he couldn't see what Luna was doing and Lacy who was sitting next to Luna didn't notice it either because she was focused on eating, at the same time. just like talking to your brothers

Lynn: What happened? Another attack? -Lynn, when she was in front of Lincoln, would be surprised by his spasm or jump, so she would worry and get up a little thinking that she should help him-

Luna: No, the idiot was scared by my hand... -Lincoln didn't know what to say, but he wouldn't have to since Luna would be the first to speak as he raised his left hand-... By mistake I touched him and there would be I thought it was a cockroach or a small Lincoln rodent. Can you pass me a tissue?

Luna acted as always, showing repulsion towards Lincoln while the Albino sat down again. Lynn would notice that there was something strange, but seeing that Luna continued insulting Lincoln, she would think that it was just her paranoia, so she would only stand up, moving her chair. back since I had to go get her a tissue, I knew that if I didn't she would keep asking for a tissue.

Lynn: here I bring you one, and stop calling Lincoln a Rat or a Cockroach -Lynn understood what Luna meant by "Little Rodent Lincoln" so she would tell him that in an intimidating way so that he would stop being a bother to his partner-

Lincoln on the other hand wouldn't know what to say while he was blushing, that wasn't a casual touch or a simple mistake, Luna had placed her left hand on his right leg caressing it lightly and he knew it was on purpose when looking at Luna he secretly liked her. He smiled in a mocking and playful way. He didn't understand what was happening, but he did know that he had to stay away from Luna or he would end up in a hurricane of problems of biblical proportions.

After dinner, everyone would help clean the dining room and kitchen, but since many hands make a mess, only the older ones helped while the others were in the living room watching television or using their cell phones, some even went to their rooms to prepare. for sleeping

Ronnie Anne: Guys remember to shower! -The brunette said that, yelling at her son, Bobby Jr, at Lemy, Lacy, Lynn 3rd and also Bed, in addition to those who had not yet bathed because Lari was currently bathing, and she used to take a long time.

Ronnie Anne would yell that to them as she left the dining room, wiping her hands with a cloth after having washed with Leni, after yelling at the little ones who already seemed determined to go to sleep or be in their rooms having fun, the woman with black hair and skin tanned before going up the stairs she would be surprised by the sound of the doorbell, only to then, with one foot already on the steps of the stairs, retreat, turning around to start walking straight towards the door

Ronnie Anne: I'm coming! -Ronnie Anne would shout that in case someone also heard the bell and ran to answer it, it was to avoid problems-

4

Ronnie Anne would not show much emotion when approaching the door because no one was expected that night. When she reached the door, she would take the handle with her left hand, giving it a twist and then begin to pull it in, opening it. As she opened the door, she would It would bother me to hear how Bed and Lacy were running around the living room, jumping on the couches, screaming.

Ronnie Anne: Girls stop jumping! stay still! -Ronnie Anne would yell at them very angry making both girls stop and then sit on the sofa for 3 or 4 people in a very scared way-

~ Hello Mom

Ronnie Anne would freeze looking at Lacy and Bed upon hearing those words, only to pause slowly as she looked on the other side of the door to find a tanned young adult with some facial hair on his chin next to a pretty young woman with brown hair. When he saw the boy clearly, he would simply cover his mouth, releasing a sigh or exhalation of surprise.

Ronnie Anne: Toby! ... My child! -Without controlling herself, she would approach Toby, opening the door completely. When she was in front of her eldest son, she would take his cheeks to see if it was real.

Queen: Toby? ... -Reina, upon hearing that, would look out of the dining room door only to then be surprised by the joy of seeing her older brother at the door being kneaded by the hands of her mother who seemed to see that he was healthy- ...It's toby! People come, Toby came!

Reina shouting that would draw everyone's attention, Toby had moved to Los Angeles for his job as a doctor at Sun Valley Hospital so it was very rare to see him even during the holidays; It was something that bothered the whole family about Toby always staying in Los Angeles and going more to his partner's parties than to family gatherings, even so that didn't matter now that they had him in charge.
Reina's scream caused everyone to stop what they were doing, quickly going to the front to meet Toby as well as her partner, a young woman with brown hair named Alice; They already knew Alice so it wasn't a surprise that she was with Toby.

Ronnie Anne: Just look at yourself, are you eating well? You look a little skinny, you're probably hungry... -Ronnie Anne, as if she were her grandmother, said that to her son, holding her shoulders, looking at her body, for a normal person she looked good; but to her mother he seemed emaciated-...Come in, I'll serve you some of the leftover dinner from now.

Toby: Mom, I'm fine... Alice cooks for me a lot, you don't have to worry about my weight

4

Toby told her that almost shouting while the whole family forced the couple to pass, Alice already knew them so instead of taking it badly she would simply laugh while she was forced to pass by her boyfriend and future husband, both would be taken to the room while Lemy closed the door; Then they would accommodate them on the sofa, making everyone also settle in the living room to chat.

Lori: Guys, stop bothering, go take a bath -Lori said that to the little ones because they were still around Toby and his partner asking him things about Los Angeles-

The children would get upset with Lori who sent them to bathe until they remembered that they had to take baths in turns, so the first person to enter the bathroom and bathe would have more time to listen to what they were talking about with Toby, that made everyone leave. running up the stairs to the second floor; In the hallway, when they turned left, they would almost collide with Lari who was leaving the bathroom with a towel covering her body. She would be heard shouting at them in annoyance before entering her room, which was formerly her mother's.

Lynn: I'm sorry about that, they just missed you... -Lynn apologized for her daughters' attitude while she served a tray with the afternoon cookies on the nightstand in front of the sofa, she had improved these weeks so that they didn't look black and they weren't as hard as iron-...So Toby, tell us what brings you to my house today?

Leni: Our -Leni corrects Lynn who said it was her house, only to then take some of the cookies that Lynn prepared; Although they didn't like them, I had to eat some of them because otherwise Lynn would get upset with them-

2

Lori: That's right, how did you find us? -Lori wondered that because the last time they spoke, Toby only knew his old apartment in Great Lake City-

Toby: well, first we went to look for them at their house but we didn't find them so I talked to the grandparents and they told me that... They were here -Toby would say that explaining how he found them, while moving his head to see how everything It was completely organized and arranged, it no longer looked old like the last time it came.

Her mother would notice how she looked at everything only to then take one of Lynn's cookies and observe how everyone also took cookies. She hoped that Alice wouldn't regret eating Lynn's cookies.

Ronnie Anne: Well, then tell us more about yourself... How is everything going in Los Angeles? -Ronnie Anne would ask her son that while she took a bite of the cookie she took, smiling with great curiosity-

In response to their question, the tanned young man would begin to tell them how he got a small raise by becoming an official resident, how they had bought a very nice house and how it was an odyssey to prepare it for his tastes, the conversation continued telling everything good or bad. What happened in their life, also asking about each one of them; Everyone was in the room except Edie and Rochelle, the talk would continue normally until Toby would mention some magic words while he raised his left hand next to Alice, both showing a ring on his ring finger.

Ronnie Anne: are they getting married?! -Ronnie Anne screamed with excitement as she stood up, everyone was surprised and excited by the news, they had not had a wedding in a long time so this news was something very incredible for them-

Toby: Yes, I already got permission from his parents and with yours we can officially get married... Although well, we would do it even if they refused, it's more like tradition -Toby was sincere about the fact that they would get married anyway, they wanted to ask permission for tradition and to know if they could count on each other's parents-

Ronnie Anne: Well of course you have my permission, just wait until I tell grandma and mom, they're going to be excited -Ronnie Anne was smiling with joy because her little chick would turn into a rooster, some tears were forming in her eyes as she Let Lori hug her to calm her down.

Bobby Jr: do you have a DJ yet? Because I'm good at making Rhythm Mixes -Bobby Jr said that to Toby, putting on black glasses while he put on some Loan Gamers Headphones, who took them off when he saw that they were his-

Lyra: I can sing if you want -Lyra said it as if she were a famous singer, she was like Luna at her age with rhythm in her blood-

Leni: If you want I can make you a dress, I have a dress for everyone including a suit

Leni, on the other hand, was excited and took out a folder from inside her bag with notes for bridesmaids' dresses, wedding dresses and suits for the groom. Even if one of her daughters became a lesbian, she prepared outfits for girls; You could tell she was super excited.

Lynn: How long have you had this? -Lynn asked him, taking a look at the folder with notes, it was a huge folder that looked more like it was for a parade-

Leni: Since Lari turned 18, I always dreamed of seeing our children wearing my dresses.

Leni said that with her eyes burning with the flames of determination and a dressmaker's desire to see a great model wear her dresses, while everyone was talking about the wedding and Lari whispered to Alice to let her be her bridesmaid. of honor, later fighting with Lacy and Lynn 3rd to be so. Toby just looked around her, catching Luna's attention.

Luna: Are you looking for someone? ... -She asked that knowing who she was looking for, it was clear as day who she was looking for with that look of concern and nerves-

Toby: ... -He would stop moving his head when he heard Luna's words, making him look at her and some of his brothers would also look at him, he would be silent for a few seconds before swallowing saliva, feeling the grip of his right hand by of his future wife- ...Where is she?

Luna: ...I haven't seen that idiot since I finished eating.

Luna had been wondering where he could be, but no idea would come to her mind only to then respond with a very hostile attitude towards Lincoln, being scolded by Sam who she hoped would hold back in the best moment of Toby's life, everyone was They would remain silent for a while until Bed, without saying a word, pulled Toby's pants.

3

Leni: She wants you to follow her, she knows where she is -Like her mother she could understand Bed perfectly, even if she spoke Mandarin or Cantonese; she was like the gift she received by having Bed-

Toby, upon hearing what his Aunt Leni was saying, would stand up and nervously take Bed's hand, feeling how the girl pulled him towards the food, passing through it and ending up reaching the kitchen, some curious people would follow him and others would be worried. Like Lynn they would also follow them, Bed would take him to the back door where after opening it they would both come out, staying on the small porch with a staircase looking at how there was a large bonfire in the patio; Toby remembered that the part where they were lighting the fire was Charles's bunkhouse.

Toby would be surprised seeing how standing in front of the bonfire warming his hands would be his father, an albino man; but he looked different, he seemed to look better than the last time she saw him and he had a somewhat more intimidating air, even surpassing that of his partner's father who was surprised to see that scene, settling behind Toby somewhat nervously.

Lincoln: Throw away those boxes, they are the last ones -Lincoln would say that to Edie and Rochelle while he bent down and with a wooden stick began to move the wood inside the bonfire, it was so that it wouldn't go out soon-

Edie would take one of the last boxes with Rochelle without any problem, ending up throwing them into the bonfire; They were the last junk memories that only gathered dust in the attic, they told him to give them away but he was excited by the idea of seeing them burn.
And she was right, seeing a photo of beautiful memories that he didn't have just made him feel full of life.

Lincoln, Edie and Rochelle would stand together while warming their hands in the heat of the campfire without noticing that Toby was looking at them in shock and they had just made his partner Alice a little afraid of them.
