The next day with Jade, Naomi and Becky

"so about the potential poly deal with Tori and Cat….." asks Jade as Becky cuts her off

"I'm not sharing you two with them, admittedly they're hot but I've waited my entire life for a chance to be a girlfriend of yours, I'm not sharing you or Naomi with them" says Becky as her ankle dislocate while she's stretching

"ok that's fair I guess but Cat and I have a sharing agreement, if I'm near autistic shutdown because of overstimulation she'd send Tori over and I'd spend some time with Cat, is that at least acceptable" says Naomi hoping for some middle ground

"you and Tori are twins so I don't mind that kind of arrangement so long as Jade stays on our side of the fence" says Becky

"does your ankle hurt" asks Jade

"a little but it pops out a lot and it's not super critical for sex, if my shoulder pops that's not so easy to just ignore and it never seems to pop in right when I do it so if it pops we have to get dressed and head to the hospital" says Becky

"so I assume you are inviting us to the bedroom" asks Naomi wanting context

"if you guys are up for it yes" says Becky as Naomi picks her up and they walk to the master bedroom

Meanwhile with Maddison and Anne

"how are you feeling babe" asks Anne knowing that the sexual tension was pretty high last night

"I'm definitely interested in more, I'm just glad my memory window is widening more and more, though my uncle says the max I'll get is fifteen hours, it was hard last night not to make out with you, I understand the whole wanting to have the consent forms printed before we do anything but I don't know if I can wait that long" says Maddison

"man I really riled you up last night didn't I" asks Anne

"not even a memory reset can change how your voice works on me but I assume you work today, I vaguely remember Cat saying something about the company working over the weekend to install solar panels or something" says Maddison

"they know to knock before starting any work because I have to get the people out of their apartment for any work to be done, especially if they're working weekends" says Anne

"I don't care if you have to roll me around, I want to be wherever you are today" says Maddison

"if they're just putting solar paneling up they don't need inside access as on the basically complete apartments they put waterproof connectors on the outside wall for them" says Anne

"still, if you go out for lunch I want to go with you, I have never liked living alone, it's one of the reasons I had Brian only get me so much, I've always been an over eater, believe it or not when I was younger I was quiet overweight, I'm talking a hundred and thirty pounds at nine years old, I can't trust myself to be left alone with all this shelf stable food, food isn't cheap and I'd rather share it equally with you, something I know I'm not capable of if left alone with it" says Maddison as a construction worker knocks on the apartment door and Anne goes to see what it's about

"what is it Aaron" asks Anne

"we have a small shipment of solar panels, a smaller amount than requested but the rest of the shipment was delayed because of bad weather and damaged roads, we have enough to do three apartments and I was thinking we could do Maddison's apartment so she could go back there today, I'm sure living in this cramped apartment with you is taxing on her as Brian said she doesn't do well in small spaces, also your apartment is next on the list" says Aaron

"how am I anywhere near next on the list, there are three floors between this floor and the floor you were working on yesterday" asks Anne

"we've been told by the city that we can't just structure the main floor while working on the others floors, that we have to actually work on it as well for proper weight distribution on the walls and you being at the far end, you and your neighbor across the hall will have to put up with construction and wall demolition today" says Aaron

"Beth is disabled and very territorial, her apartment can't just be disturbed, especially on weekends, I'll tell you what apartments are safe for weekends but Bethany's is definitely not safe and when you do work on it you won't be able to just demolish the walls, she has pictures of her kids on it and if they get damaged she will absolutely sue you, her kids died several years ago and those pictures are all she has left of them" says Anne

"the city mandated that the ends of the apartments have to be first for structural reasons and Cat approved it" says Aaron

"do you have proof of confirmation from Cat" asks Anne wanting to be very thorough before bothering Bethany

"the letter is right here, we'll just move her drywall out to the new outer hallway wall, however we need access to her apartment" says Aaron handing Anne the letter

"ok that's good enough, Mads we're going for a walk, get dressed, I'm sorry if I sounded harsh to you Aaron, like I said Bethany's territorial, start with my apartment first, I have to go let everyone know" says Anne as Maddison walks over wincing as she hurt her ankle getting dressed

"I can deal with Bethany, weekends are supposed to be her reverence time, she'll be upset but so long as it's quick and done carefully she won't have a problem, those pictures are glued to the wall" says Maddison

"we'll have to see where on the drywall the pictures are placed, if they don't cross from one drywall piece to another it won't be a problem but she needs to be out of the apartment for today either way, we can do one part now and the rest during the week, all the city requires is that the corners of the building are done to support the added weight of the apartments that are returned to the proper size above" says Aaron

"hand me that notice from Cat, I'm going to talk to Bethany right now so this can be done" says Maddison taking the notice from Cat and knocking on Bethany's door

"today's not good, I'm not in a good mood to be out and about" says Bethany as Maddison enters

"I know but the city requires the corner apartments of the building be done to support the extra weight of the restored apartments upstairs" says Maddison

"I have to be here, my kids, they need to be remembered properly, I let my brother take them on that car ride and they died, I need to pray, I can't be interrupted, can't it wait till Monday" says Bethany

"unfortunately not, Cat agreed with the city and ordered the company to follow the city's request, what if I sit here and pray with you while they do their work if they promise to be quiet" says Maddison

"my sister should be proud of the woman you've become but she's always been selfish, I'd very much like you to pray with me but they must be quiet and I can't be kicked out for the day, they died today seven years ago and they cherished this apartment, I have to pray today and it has to be here" says Bethany Morgan

"I'll talk to them, I'll be right back" says Maddison as she heads back into the hall

"how'd she take the news" asks Anne

"she's my aunt on my mom's side, the uncle that got her kids killed is my dad, she's the only one in my family until I was reunited with uncle Richie that cared about me, her kids died seven years ago today, my dad took them to the beach and they ended up dead, that apartment is all she has left, the only connection to them she has left, she's requesting that she be allowed to stay in the apartment in prayer, I'm praying with her, she will be as far away as she can be but she's in no condition to go anywhere, her prosthetic legs are in major disrepair and her wheelchair is outright broken as of last night, that's the shattering we heard last night Anne, the left wheel snapped in half, she physically can't go anywhere Aaron, please tell me you're willing to compromise on making her leave" says Maddison

"I guess given the situation we can't make her leave but she can't interfere, we will do our best to protect her kids drawings from damage but she can't talk to us, I have a few autistic workers and they don't take kindly to people staring at them, they're good workers, some of the best on my team but they have short tempers" says Aaron

"as long as they treat the pictures with extreme care she won't look in their direction unless she hears one of them tearing the pictures, her daughters were kind of engineer prodigies, the pictures are of a building designed in a renewable energy future, the buildings are designed to literally float in the event of an earthquake, limiting damage significantly" says Maddison

"ok I have to see these pictures for myself, I know people that would pay millions for a quake proof apartment building design" says Aaron

"she won't sell them, the designs are all she has left of her kids, though she does have alternative designs she'd sell" says Maddison

"based on the same quake float design" asks Aaron

"same base technology but designed by her, her kids took it to the next level but she will only sell the designs she made, her kids can't negotiate so the sale of those plans are off the table, if they're copied by any of your employees she'll sue" says Maddison

"none of my employees are interested in stealing designs, in fact they've stopped several now former sub contractors from stealing valuable items, it doesn't matter if they don't see value in it, if the client does that's what matters" says Aaron

"well get started and do the whole thing, not just one part of her apartment, the fewer interruptions for her three better, she's one of the seven tenants here that absolutely need the larger space and Markus a few times tried to evict her only for the cops to intervene and make her a permanent resident with no chance of eviction, her husband built this place with the intention of it being upgraded for quake mitigation methods, however she's the one her kids got the engineering prodigy gene from, oh that reminds me, Babe you need to see if Cat's raising her rent" says Maddison

"Cat won't raise the rent of people who have disabilities or are on government assistance plans, especially not Bethany, not unless Bethany wants to pay more" says Anne

"ok, please start the work Aaron" says Maddison as she reenters her aunts apartment to pray with her

2 hours later as the living room/kitchen area is finished

"you look hungry Bethany, may I get you anything" asks Anne as Maddison looks up at her upset

"get her food but don't interrupt her, no heated food, she'll eat when she's ready" says Maddison coldly as Anne walks away to get the food

"you shouldn't have been so harsh dear, she cares, that's a good thing" says Bethany

"but your prayers are important and shouldn't be interrupted by others" says Maddison

"considering I have problems making sure I eat because of my mobility problems, her interruption was ok, sometimes you forget I'm not as strict as you are about prayers, you're very religious" says Bethany

"and you aren't" asks Maddison shocked

"I'm not as strict as you are, interrupting me for the fun of it is one thing but making sure I'm eating regularly and interrupting my prayers is a welcome interruption, you should be proud to have someone as wonderful as her in your life dear, especially with your memory issues, even on edibles there will still be holes in your memory, someone like Anne is a message from God to love her" says Bethany

"I'm worried about what God will think of me being gay, it's always worried me" says Maddison

"if he wanted you dead you'd have never survived that car crash, you being gay isn't a choice Mads, he made you this way" says Bethany

"why didn't you tell uncle Richie that I was alive, you visit for pain treatment all the time, why keep me hidden" asks Maddison

"if my daughters were alive I'd never want to hear about it from anyone but them and I know Richard feels the same way" says Bethany

"I'm not sure Kristine and Kassandra are dead Auntie, I swear I've seen them around town" says Maddison

"your father surviving that crash has always made me wonder if they'd survived but I'd have to see them for myself and I'd never force them to come visit, if they are alive it has to be their choice to come see me" says Bethany as Anne walks in with food for both of them

"I hope this food is acceptable and if you're talking about your daughters Bethany, they are alive, they lost all memories in the crash, the only reason Maddie's dad didn't is because he jumped out of the car before it crashed, it was intentional, he never meant to take them to the beach, he told the paramedics as much but his confession alone wasn't enough to arrest him because he never admitted to intentionally crashing the car but the police chief at the time likened it to attempted murder but without their memories of what happened or what he said before the crash he couldn't make an arrest, that you'd have to sue him" says Anne

"how do you know any of this" asks Bethany

"Jade runs a private investigation firm on the side, long story but your brother in law signed a legal document with Tori's dad saying that he neither cares nor has the time to defend himself against any allegations and will if ordered by the judge pay any amount the judge sees fit to your daughters as well as Maddison, we're talking a potential for hundreds of thousands of dollars in a lump sum" says Anne as Maddison starts eating her waffle wrap

"please tell me my daughters aren't in a sexual relationship, they've always flirted with the idea because nobody else besides each other understands them" says Bethany

"no they're not in any way dating, for the most part they barely talk to one another, though they do have girlfriends" says Anne

"they'll want to move in with me again I'm sure" says Bethany

"they were told about you last week, the doctors have been working up to that, bringing things up and letting them process the information, they told the doctor this morning that they were ready to make a decision on living arrangements but that's the latest information I have" says Anne

"do you know what they think of me" asks Bethany

"they've been getting childhood memories back all week, they can't stop talking about you and how amazing you were" says Anne as the living room wall is almost finished

"can I see the new wall space or do I have to wait" asks Bethany worried about the drawings

"they're almost done the living room/kitchen area then they're heading out for their half hour lunch and when they come back they'll finish the rest, he has mainly autistic workers, especially for jobs like this where its simple remodeling work, one of the drawings was across drywall lines and one of them had the idea to release the glue with a little heat and move it over with the other drawings on that piece of drywall, they don't really like being criticized or stared at so when they go on their lunch you can look at the wall" says Anne

"would you marry Maddison if you had the chance" asks Bethany as Maddison blushes

"if I had the money to do it I'd already have an engagement ring but I don't have that kind of money" says Anne

"let me tell you something about my niece, she doesn't like big things, hell you could propose to her with a ring pop and she'd probably say yes so long as the wedding was small, I'm talking half a dozen people or even no wedding ceremony at all, she happened to love the small apartment, she didn't like the small hallway and doors she got though, her gaming computer when she was little was smaller than the printers you can buy today, hell she'd be okay with a gaming laptop" says Bethany as Maddison heads to the balcony as she can't stand constantly blushing

"I'm worried about not being religious like her, she prayed before bed last night, I don't believe in a god" says Anne

"if your non belief was a problem for her she'd have never slept in the same bed as you, her only worry is God wanting her dead for being gay, it's always been on her mind, however she won't let that stop her from being happy and she's never been the go slow type, once she gets used to being around you in a romantic relationship expect things to move fast" says Bethany

"I don't understand" says Anne

"a month after her and Franny became friends she was willing to 'play propose' to Franny, you will become her whole world Anne, trust me things won't go slowly, don't expect to only need one consent form a day" says Bethany

"but we don't have power right now so I can't even print a bunch out even if I thought I'd need one right now" says Anne starting to worry that Maddison is sex crazy

"she has a small laptop, I'm talking very basic, basically a type writer claiming to be a laptop as well as a printer, she likes to write her day out so she can remember it, she showed me the stories, they're not graphic in any way let alone in a sex way but you've been the star of every single one since you moved in, it's all third person of her staring at you in awe from afar, talking about your beautiful hair and your beautiful smile, I can tell you're worried that all she'll care about is sex, I can guarantee you she'll spend more time wanting to make out with you than have sex, her drive isn't exactly very high, granted its higher than most people her age but she takes cues from you, if she thinks you're not wanting sex she won't ask, though from her prayer alone she's wishing for sex twice a day, which is about how much her body could handle on the edibles, she's more of a cuddle girl than anything, being a ballerina was her passion, it helped her work out a lot of that sexual tension" says Bethany

"how early did this start with her, I'm starting to think she has a hormone imbalance" asks Anne

"let's just say she was four when she got her first period and nobody except her sisters were willing to tell her the truth and until she learned the truth she was absolutely crying because she believed she was literally dying, she cried to the pastor for weeks, she didn't understand why this was happening to her" says Bethany as Anne seems confused

"she doesn't have any sisters, not that I know of" says Anne

"my daughters are her half sisters, as idiotic as her dad became he used to be a really good father, then one day my sister decided to trick him into cheating on me and he ended up divorcing me and marrying her, nine months later Maddison was born, the whole beach thing where he was taking my daughters to the beach or at least he said he was, he told me he wanted to be a better father and actually interact with them" says Bethany

"does Maddison know about them being her half sisters" asks Anne worried about secrets being kept from her as Maddison walks back over

"that part of my life is still foggy, I have memories of calling them my sister but I have a few false memories about uncle Richie and my mom being married, I'd have told you but I didn't want to make myself look like a fool if what I told you ended up being a lie" says Maddison as the construction workers leave for lunch

The next day as Cat shows up to check up on the work

"they're not in there dear" says Bethany stopping Cat from knocking on Anne's door

"why not, this is the apartment she's renting isn't it" says Cat suddenly worried she has the wrong room

"it is but the solar paneling for Maddison's apartment got installed yesterday afternoon so they spent the night there" says Bethany

"if you mean sexually that's going to need a consent form filled according to her uncle who as of tomorrow will be her legal guardian" says Cat

"Maddison has since her first day here had a basic laptop and a printer, the dude that caused the crash bought it for her when he found out she had extreme memory issues because of his reckless racing, she uses it to write her day out so she has something to read while she has breakfast each day" says Bethany

"your daughters are visiting today, they're bringing their girlfriends, I hope you are ok with them being gay, they've been quite worried" says Cat

"Maddison's gay and she's my half daughter, long story but basically her husband is my daughters father, my sister got him to cheat on me with her, leaving me to raise two very smart daughters who at times outsmarted even their teachers, as long as they don't make out in front of me I'm ok with it, to be clear I'm bisexual myself but public displays of affection freak me out, I'm talking panic attack level freak outs" says Bethany

"did the construction company do a good job with your re-expansion of your apartment, I've heard back from everyone but you" asks Cat

"yeah it's just been a lot to process, I haven't had an appointment this big since before Markus took over after my second husband passed away, it's a little hard to get used to so much extra space, they're not expecting to live with me are they because I don't have the space nor the money to take care of them" says Bethany

"I've renovated Markus's old apartment and if Anne moves in with Maddison I can rent these apartments to them but for the time being they will have to live somewhere" says Cat

"do their girlfriends not have a place to go" asks Bethany

"not particularly, they're twins just like your daughters and their family isn't exactly gay friendly, they've been living with your daughters at the mental health facility in Thousand Oaks because their parents threatened to shoot them dead if they ever brought their your daughters home so they're not safe there, your daughters girlfriends don't make a lot, just enough to pay the going rate of rent I have set here as well as food, they quite like the solar idea even though in its current state the solar panel setup can't power a full apartment, laundry systems and the kitchens are on grid power but everything else even the air conditioning will be solar and if its an overproduction day on solar there are going to be battery systems in the basement that can sell to the grid as well as a system to automatically tell the city which apartment is selling back to the grid and at what rate" says Cat

"Anne won't be moving in with Maddie unless you alter the lease agreement so the guy who caused the crash can have his payments adjusted" says Bethany

"I'll adjust the rental agreement so they're living together if that's what they want but the amount she's getting won't be changing, Anne will be taking over the rent and Maddison's money will go towards groceries as the weed is thankfully covered by insurance so all she has to worry about is having enough food on hand" says Cat

"that's actually a fair deal, Maddie's likely sleeping right now, she's not exactly a morning person so Anne should be available to alter any rental agreement that you need" says Bethany

"your daughters will be arriving noon tomorrow, one of them plus their girlfriend will be staying her until I get Anne's rental situation sorted but Markus's former apartment is ready to rent" says Cat

"ok well I must get back to my breakfast, just make sure to knock Anne's probably watching tv, something she's never been able to afford on her own" says Bethany shaking Cat's hand before closing the door
