Serenity sighed, placing a hand on her belly. “Paul, the baby is already here,” she said firmly. “It’s not going to disappear like magic. This baby is coming into the world, whether people like it or not. Everyone here has suffered because of our parents‘ mistakes.

“But at some point, we have to start living our own lives. Good or bad, they’ve already lived theirs. Just because their lives are a mess doesn’t mean ours have to be. One day, you’ll grow up, take control of your own life, and make your own decisions–whether our parents like it or not. You’ll see.”

“I don’t want to go back to Valentia!” Paul exclaimed.

“I know you’re in love,” Serenity replied patiently. “But eventually, if we do go back, we can’t just leave you here. You’re still young, and you have so much life ahead of you. Your girlfriend can wait, and so can you. Only time will tell if what you two have is strong enough. But please, don’t use my pregnancy as an excuse for us to stay.”

Paul had imagined them staying here forever. To him, Alden and Serenity’s announcement only made it easier to believe they could stay. In his mind, they were already a family, and staying meant he wouldn’t have to part from the girl he loved.

Alden followed the two boys. When he finally caught up, he placed a hand on Ethan’s shoulder and said, “Ethàn, son, can we talk?”

“No!”

The boy’s face was streaked with tears, and he couldn’t process the idea of his father starting a new life without

his mother.

“Ethan, we have to talk, and you know we will–sooner or later,” Alden said, his voice taking on a firmer tone.

Ethan in the same monotone voice, whether he was scolding him or rewarding him. It had made Ethan especially sensitive to changes in Alden’s tone, and Alden used this to his advantage when things got tough.
