It would require patience, open communication, and a willingness to embrace the beauty of expanding their family circle. In Ashley's mind, a tapestry of possibilities unfurled. She saw family gatherings filled with laughter, where cousins shared secrets, and brothers stood side by side, their bond unbreakable. She saw Ethan's dream as a metaphorical lantern, guiding them towards a new chapter of love and togetherness.

That’s why this time I choose to ignore him and give all my attention to Ash, even if he is bringing up annoying stuff, “You need to talk to your parents, Cain. That little tantrum was helpful, but you can’t actually ‘break up’ with them. We need them.” “Yes, I can. I don’t care about them any more than they care about me,” he says, squeezing me even more against him. I sigh, “Justin is all the family I need.” “Then I’ll have to speak to them myself,” Ash says, “Because if we want to get married, we need people on our side. Your parents are basically all we need. And King Eugene. If all of our parents and Justin vote yes to my petition, we’ll be able to get married.”

And because now her family is going to be moving in. “So, you’re starting a family in a little less than conventional way. Things can still happen between the two of you. You can still be a real family. You can still create a real relationship with Emma, even if you’re doing things a little backwards.” “Yeah, I suppose I can,” I agree. We’ve already gone out on one date and it went well, after all. I can continue to date her, right? And things will evolve from there between the two of us. If she’s not in love with me … well, we can get there gradually. With the baby to tie us together.

"Whether you invite him to things would be entirely up to how everyone gets to know each other, over time." "There's already a lot of us," Maya observed. "Grandpa and Grandma in Zurich, and Grandma's parents too, and Arthur who's basically an uncle even though he's not really, and now maybe an actual uncle." "Family has a way of growing in unexpected directions," Roman said. "Sometimes it grows through people you choose, like Arthur. Sometimes it grows through discoveries, like this. Either way, more people who care about you isn't generally a bad thing, even when it takes some adjusting to."

Griffon asks, and we both shake our heads. “Mommy and daddy are mates!” Liam explains, and we hear a scream through the line. Julia’s face pops into view and I chuckle at her. “Oh my Goddess! Finally! Let me see!” Julia exclaims, while the kids cheer happily. “Does this mean we’ll be a family?” Griffon asks, and I feel a sharp pain pierce my heart. Liam puts his arm around my waist and gives me a reassuring squeeze. As long as we make it through tonight, that’s what we’ll be. A family. Goddess, I’ve dreamed of that for six years.

Dad. Lucien holds Leo tight, and I see tears on his face. "Dad," he repeats. "I like the sound of that." "Me too," Leo says. We spend the evening planning. The adoption process. The wedding. How to blend our families officially. Charlotte wanders in. "What are you talking about?" "We're talking about becoming a family," I tell her. "You, me, Daddy, and Leo. All together." "We're not already a family?" "We are. But we're making it official. Legal. Forever."

"How so?" "Well, there's you and Dad, but you're not my real dad," he said to Thomas. "And there's my real dad, but he's in prison. And the baby is coming, who will be my real brother or sister but not really because we have different dads and moms." Thomas sat down on the floor so he was at Sam's eye level. "Sam, do you know what makes a family?" "What?" "Not blood or biology or any of that stuff. It's choosing to love each other every day, even when it's hard."

We are so blessed beyond measure, my family and I. We have a wonderful home, people that love us, and most importantly, we have each other. Our numbers keep growing and so do our hearts. I can not wait to watch my babies grow up here as I did. I want to see the amazing lives they lead and watch them fall in love when the time comes for them to meet their mates. If they are anything like the rest of the family, it will surely be an adventure.

There had to be an attachment, which was mostly blood ties and also a closeness that transcended blood ties sometimes. Mommy and Uncle Alaric were close but did that mean they were family? Did that also mean they could become a family? Her thoughts confused her and she pressed her lips together, refusing to think about it anymore. She didn't even understand anyway and she didn't have anybody to ask.

I never knew I could consider them as my family. I have never wanted to have a family in my entire life after my parents' death. But seeing them caring for me and my girl is making me feel like I belong to them, as they consider me as part of their family. "So, how are we going to enter Amaya's dream?" "Through us."
