Life proceeded for the family almost as normally as any other family. There was fun, celebration and challenging times. Eventually,time moved forward. Emma was in the back of the car, in her car seat. Veruca and Mike were together in front. Mike was in the drivers seat while as Veruca was in the passengers seat. Mike was comforting Veruca as she was crying into his arms.
"There. there.. it's going to be okay.",he said softly to her .
"I know. I just can't believe this is happening...",cried Veruca to Mike.
"I know. But everything is going to be okay."said Mike.
"How do you know? This my parents are getting divorced Mike, I can't believe your okay with this!",wailed Veruca.
"I know this is going to be okay because we're not going to repeat your parents mistakes. We won't do it to each other or onto Emma.",said Mike.
Veruca went silent as she looked at her beautiful baby girl who was in the back seat. Then, she looked back at Mike.
"You're right Mike. Let's go back home.",said Veruca.
Mike turn to the steering wheel and put his hand on the wheel, getting ready to start the car. The both of them were ready to head home. As they were heading home, it started off as a easy drive. There was no traffic today which had made more easier for them to get home quicker. As they were passing the smaller town next door, Veruca saw something weird going on the sidewalk. She nudged Mike to get his attention,
"Mike,Mike!",she shouted to him luckily.
They were stopped at a red light. Mike turned his head around to what Veruca was seeing. It was two adult men shouting to a small boy. So they stopped the car to both get out. Mike, who was a force to be reckoned with, scared off the two men off. When the two men were gone, Veruca and Mike lowered themselves down to talk to the small boy
"What's your name?",asked Mike.
"Jose, who are you?",asked Jose.
