No one's POV:

After the funeral of Rebecca and the children saying their final goodbye to Her, it was now time to get ready for school.

Like enrolling them all into school, finding out what grades they will be in judging by their ages, getting brand new clothes for school, school bags, lunchboxes, and school supplies. So the team and the children went out to get everything that the children needed for school, such as new clothes, school bags, lunchboxes, and school supplies. The children picked out what they chose.

Almost all of the children were excited about going to school. However, Alfredo and His younger siblings weren't too happy with it. As the children were picking out clothes, Alfredo and His siblings had already picked out their choice of clothing and were sitting on a small white bench looking down at the ground with bitter expressions.

Captain Cragen looked over at His three kids and saw something was wrong, and He got worried and concerned.

"Are you three alright?" Captain Cragen asked with worried and concerned.

Alfredo looked up at His adopted father.

"We're fine. It's just... Can we go to a public school and stay together in one school?" Alfredo asked.

"Of course, all of you guys are going to a public school. If you don't mind me asking, what's on your mind?" Captain Cragen asked.

"When our mom and dad were alive, the three of us were in a private school, and it wasn't that great. The kids were mean surprisingly, and it was kinda boring, we didn't wanna complain to our mom and dad because we were afraid that they might get mad even though they'll never be mad at us and we swore that we will always tell them everything with them doing the same with us," Alfredo explained.

Captain Cragen nodded his head understandably as He listened.

"I'm surprised that even kids from private schools are mean," Captain Cragen said, Alfredo gave Him a 'Are you sure about that?' expression on His face with an eyebrow raised.

Captain Cragen sighs.

"I am sure that when you go to your new school, you'll make a lot of friends," Captain Cragen explained.

"On the first day?" Alfredo asked.

"If not on the first day, then soon you will, I am sure there is someone who likes the same thing or shared the interest like you," Captain Cragen explained.

"Alright, I'll give it a shot," Alfredo said, which made Cragen smile. Seeing their dad smiling made the three siblings smile as well.

"Hey dad, is there gonna be any pretty ladies at school?" Tobias asked while smiling, Lake smiled back.

"Sure there is. Once you get all of the ladies in class, you'll become the popular boy in the whole school," Lake explained with a wink.
