Pierce: (hugs you) Thanks dad. I’ll join the AU Baseball team as soon as it’s up and I’ll hit a home-run with this one.
Xandri: (tears up and hugs you also)
Lily: (smiles a bit)
Xandri: Dad….that necklace means a lot to all of us…..It’s…It’s Nicole’s…..
Pierce: (nods) She was our older sister…...She…she died in the fire on our house, along with our birth parents….
Xandri: That was the only thing that survived the flames…but the picture didn’t….the picture of our entire birth family….
Pierce: She was great….our birth mother was never really around, so not only was she our sister, but she kinda took on our birth mom’s role in the family…
Xandri: We all loved her….we’ve kept that locket close to our hearts ever since….
Lily: (looks up, finishing) But it’s time to move out of the past. Besides eachother you’re our only family, the one we love the most. Nicole won’t be forgotten, but her role has been passed down to you. We all love you more than anyone right now. I want you to have the love we had for Nicole, passed on to you.
Xandri: (gets teary-eyed, brings Lily and Pierce and you into a hug, whispers) We’re a family now.
