"Alright. Lavender, Mr Whatever your name was, and everybody else. This is Issa. She's not safe living with her father. And when Jonah called us about this wonderful girl and told Jack and I her story, we knew we had to help her. 

Until the court can put Issa's father in jail for what he did, she will be living with us. And if she likes it after he is in jail- we may adopt her. Giving Lavender a sister, Corey, Luke, Madison, Carrie and Flynn- another cousin. Oh and Zach and Lexi's unborn baby another cousin to scare the boys, or girls, or non-binary, or all who fit into the LGBTQ+ community, away!" Gabbie announced, causing everybody to cheer. 

"Will my daddy be hurt when he's getting punished?" Issa asked, accidentally saying it louder than a whisper- causing everybody to be silent, awaiting Jack and Gabbie's answer. 

"Well Issa, we do not know what will happen to your daddy in the special place people who hurt others go to. All we know, is that you will be safe. And we will love and care for you, as we did with Lavender as she grew up. We will not judge you. We will not Hurt you. We want to be their for you. I pinky promise, I will protect you." Jack smiled. 

"Just adopt her already!" Daniel yelled, causing everybody to Burts out laughing. "Children, take Isla outside." Kaitlyn confidently spoke. "Ma'am, I do not wanna be rude, but my name is Issa. Not Isla." Kaitlyn rolled her eyes, so far you'd be surprised they didn't stay there. "Gabbie, Jack, you must learn to control the chipmunk child if you want me to accept her into the family." Gabbie slowly but quickly began to take her earrings out. Alexis and Tate quickly grabbed her and forced her onto the couch. 

Daniel watched the kids scramble into the backyard before speaking. "It's over. For nearly 16 years, I have watched you be a total bitch to my daughter, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews. I should have done this years ago but.. I want a divorce. I no longer love you. Where is the woman I fell for 19 years ago? I'm going to pack your things, have you sign the divorce papers and get the fuck away from my family." 

"You cannot! I refuse! I'll take Carrie away from you!" Kaitlyn shouted. "Nobody likes you fucking whores!" Kaitlyn directed that at Tate, Alexis and Gabbie. Tate let go off Gabbie, Alexis following. Gabbie jumped onto Kaitlyn, knocking her over. "I won't beat your ass because the children are here. But if you come within 100 yards of my family and I, I will beat your ass. Children or not." Gabbie threatned, sitting on Kaitlyn. 

"Dani, go get her shit and whatnot! We'll keep her down! Men, keep the children out. Lexi and Gabbie, we'll keep the devil here- but won't hurt her." Tate firmly spoke. And they rushed off to do their duties. 

"Excuse you?! This is discrimination!" Kaitlyn shouted. "How?" Alexis asked. "Discrimination against.. Kaitlyn's!" The girls laughed. "Tate, call the cops so we can file a restraining order against her." Alexis ordered, to which Tate obeyed. Thirty minutes later, Kaitlyn was taken away in handcuffs. 

"Daniel, and the older kids- into the kitchen. Everybody else, keep Issa and Flynn outside." Gabbie strictly spoke as the 4 elders, and 1 Daniel plus Alexis walked into the kitchen. "Carrie, your mother and I are getting a divorce. She's gonna go crazy and make up lies to have you taken away from me. So be warned. Anyways, we're also getting a restraining order against her. For everybody in the family ,including Issa. Kaitlyn was also just arrested." Daniel informed. 

"Thank fuck. I was sick of her." Corey and Luke spoke in sync. "Sorry Dan and Carrie, but it's true!" Corey defended. "It's fine. I didn't like her either." Carrie laughed. "What if I want to see my aunt?" Madison asked.
