Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Elysia took a deep breath at the rest area, gazing at the steps ahead and said, "Legend has it that each of the 108 steps represents one of life's troubles. Climbing a step signifies entering a new phase and shedding a worry."

Emmett, tilting his head, asked, "So, if we climb all 108 steps, does that mean we'll be free of worries forever?"

Elysia chuckled, "Exactly."

The kids immediately called out to Baby, "Baby, come on down! We'll climb it together, and then no more worries."

"Okay!" Baby wiggled her little legs, "Daddy, daddy, let me go with Lan."

Tarquin, with a loving expression, let his little girl down.

Evan took the lead, Elliot watched their back, and Elijah and Emmett stood by Baby's sides, each holding one of her hands, guiding their sister up the steps.

Watching the loving scene of the five kids, Elysia's eyes brimmed with happiness.
