Back in Seattle, Angel was texting Molly a few minutes after Molly had left Jade to talk to Leppy, smiling softly. She was very similar in appearance to Molly, other then she was taller then her by 5 inches, had a rusted-orange colored hair, and brown eyes. She looked up, hearing the kids get home from school pausing before going to check on them. When she spotted Estelle she smiles and asked, "Hey Estelle, how was school?"

"I prevented a murder today." Estelle said as she hung up her backpack.

Angel blinks, staring at her startled "What? What happened?"

"Self restraint!"

Angel stares blinking before asking "What did the idiot say this time?"

Estelle groans "he said that he's going to pretend to be trans to get into the ladies bathroom and do whatever he wants. I sent him to the hospital but he ain't dead."

Angel blinks before saying "And considering that fact I didn't get a call on this you didn't do enough damage to go to Juvie." she paused before giving her a gentle pat on the shoulder "I'm sorry the guys your age are idiots and jerks like that?"

Estelle chuckles "that's why I date girls!"

Angel watched and smiles "And you chose a very sweet and smart girl" she paused, thinking before saying "I got some news on Jade a few minutes ago, would you like to hear it?"

"Sure, what happened?"

"She called Molly Mom, which Molly was not expecting" Angel said, pulling up the text on her phone, handing it to Estelle for her to see.

"Aww, tags so sweet! I'm never letting her live that down" Estelle chuckles.

Angel smiles and giggles softly "Why is that?"

"Cause she still has her birth mom and she was comfortable enough to call Molly her mom to! I know it took me a long time to call you mom, and another to call you mom again"

Angel smiles softly and shrugs "True, especially considering it hasn't even been a full three days...  I'd be a bit more concerned with her ever calling Jacob dad because she mentioned to me that her birth dad wasn't that good... Also, you had every right and reason to not want to call me or Lucious mom and dad, and she is different then you."

"Yeah, everyone's different, but I'm still happy for her!"

Angel smiles and nods "I am too."

A soft happy voice, which Angel apparently couldn't hear whispered next to Estelle "I'm happy for her too" It was Matilda, though Estelle nor Angel could see her.

Estelle smiles.

Angel smiles before glancing to her phone and sighing "Work is calling, I'll be right back" she explained before walking off to another part of the house answering.

Once Angel was gone Matilda materialized next to Estelle "I'm happy for Jade... that she's actually getting to have a life. She told Leppy earlier today when they were coming home she wants to call Molly and Jacob mom and dad but she feels a bit uncomfortable with it, but also feels uncomfortable with calling them their real names... she also thought I'd feel betrayed if she called Molly mom, which I don't I'm happy she feels comfortable enough to even try calling her mom."

"I'm glad Jade gets to have a new shot at life to, everyone deserves- know what scratch that, almost everyone deserves a second chance. Luckily Jade is one of those."

Matilda listens and smiles softly nodding, wheezing lightly "And luckily the jury and judge both agreed... not everyone over there agrees, two kids specifically, but a decent majority." she thought before saying "You wouldn't have been friends with her if she wasn't one of those that deserved a second chance."
