I can't even begin to express how happy I am to have our family together again. I am laying in bed rubbing my belly. I mean it hasn't been that long but I can feel my belly growing. I haven't told Isaiah yet, I'm waiting until this is all over.
It's been about 2 weeks since Iris came back to us and my boss has been calling everyday trying to keep us updated on the next step. And so far he has edited everything so that means we are about to be on tv in the next 2 days.
Alejandro's on the phone with his boss. John is working on his end for us to get paid and helping us find a place to live. Alejandro is pacing with the phone on his hand, he looks at me and says, "Vanessa... We have some really great news...." He continues to listen to the phone call and he is then he mouths, "Round up everyone."
I nod my head and run to get everyone in the living room.
"What's all this about?" Elijah asks.
"I'm not sure. Alejandro said that I need to get you all together. And that is about as much as I know." I say.
"I hope it's good news." Iris says while holding onto Elijah's arm.
After a few moments Alejandro comes down and he has the biggest smile on his face.
"Well tell us. What's going on?" Mrs. Villarreal says.
"We are going home. It's over. No one is chasing us anymore. The media will put out what happened to the town of Harmony, and John is getting a team of his lawyers together to sue all the members of The Base." Alejandro says with so much joy.
"Wait... What about us?" Michael asks.
"Nothing. You guys sided with us and realized that what was going wrong. I mean they won't prosecute you and I'll make sure of that." I say. "You guys helped Iris and now because of that Iris gets to go back to Gracie. And that is more than enough."
"So what now?" Mr. Villarreal asks.
"Now we wait this time tomorrow we are all free and we will get to be reunited with our families. They are setting us up with homes for us to go to and they are going to let us all be neighbors. The only thing that we do need is how many houses we will need. I said about 5 but I could be wrong." Alejandro says.
"The Villarreal's and us can live together. I mean why take up more houses wouldn't you agree, Mr. Villarreal?" Mr. Sanchez asks.
"Of course I think that is a grand idea. And what about the Buckley twins? Do we get them their own place or do we all take turns taking care of them?" Mr. Villarreal asks.
"Let's call them. We need to know who they want to be with or if they are ready to be on their own." Alejandro says.
I grab the phone and I call Ruben.
"Hello."
"Hey Ruben. How are you guys doing?" I ask.
"We are doing great. How about you all any news?"
"Yes actually. By this time tomorrow we are going to be free."
"Oh dear that is awesome!"
"Yeah, and they are also setting us up with houses. So I was wondering if I could talk to Hunter or Hannah."
"Yeah! Hold on let me get them."
"Hello?" Hunter says.
"Hey buddy. How are you doing?" I ask.
"We are doing ok. Any news?"
"By this time tomorrow we are free. No one is going to be after us anymore."
"Are you serious? That is amazing. We are all finally going to be reunited again."
"Yeah thank goodness. Now there is something that I need to ask you."
"What's up?
"They are setting us up with houses, and we need to know how many we are going to need. So the question is do you and your sister want your own house or do you want to live with one of us? Or do you want to take turns living with each one of us? This is completely up to you guys."
"Wow ok. By when do we need to make this decision?"
"Well if you guys can in an hour. We are going to be moving into them tomorrow so, we are need to know soon. All of us are more than happy to have you guys live with us, but we also understand that you guys are grown and can make your own choices." I say.
"Give me 15 minutes. I want to talk to my sister and also Isaiah." He says.
"Ok." I begin to wonder why they need to talk to Isaiah but then think nothing of it.
After a few minutes we get a call and it's Hunter.
"Hey Vanessa."
"Hey mijo. So what's the word?"
"If its ok with you, 'Guy', and Iris, I would like to live with you guys and Hannah wants to live with Iris and Gracie. We have grown close and want to stay that way. If that is ok."
"Of course mijo. Hold on let me get Iris."
Iris comes to the phone and I tell her the good news.
"Yes of course Hannah can come and live with me. And the kids can always have sleepovers. This experience is something that has brought all of us together, and I am not going to separate them from each other."
"You hear that guys?" I say. "This time tomorrow we will be moving into our new homes."
"YAY!!!!" Is all I hear on the other end. We say our goodbyes and tell Alejandro to tell his boss how many homes we need and how many bedrooms we are going to need.
"We need 2, 2 bedroom homes, 1, 3 bedroom home and 1, 4 bedroom home." Alejandro says. "Preferably next to each other. I mean after everything we have been through, we would like to live near each other."
It's now night time and I can't sleep. I am to anxious. I get to see my baby tomorrow. I miss Isaiah so much. Alejandro looks over in my direction and says, "Hey beautiful. You still awake?"
"Yeah I am to excited for tomorrow. I can't wait for Isaiah to find out that he is going to be a big brother."
"I bet he is going to be very excited. Now get some sleep we need to have our energy for tomorrow."
"Yeah you are right." I give him a kiss and lay my head on his chest and we drift off to sleep. I have the biggest smile on my face.
