August 12th, 2058.
Everyone celebrated Victoria's 34th Birthday. It was held at Atlantis in Nassau, Bahamas.
The next day...
August 13, 2058.
Stephen was at work, when he received a phone call.
Stephen: "Hello?"
Caller: "Hello, is this Stephen Banner?"
Stephen: "Yes."
Caller: "We regret to inform you that your grandfather, Mr. Whitfield had passed away last night."
Stephen: "Oh. Thank you for telling me."
Days later....
August 18, 2058.
Since all of Stephen's (Step) Aunts and (Step) Uncles(Mr. Whitfield's children)(Stephen's father is Mr. Whitfield's stepson) were across the world, they could only be there in time for the funeral; Stephen, Lillian, and Darryl were preparing the funeral.
August 22nd was the day of Mr. Whitfield's funeral.
Before the funeral....
Stephen was crying, little by little.
Lillian walks in.
Lillian: "What's wrong, darling?"
Stephen: "I still can't believe he's gone. ~Sniffle~. You would think maybe if his children were there, he would still be alive."
Lillian: "Honey, he was 109 years old. He died of old age. He attended our wedding on his 102nd birthday! He was a strong man."
Stephen: "Him and his wife were together for 81 years. Now they'll be together even longer.
(Voice breaking) He was like a father to me. For 16 years he took care of me. He was 81 years old, and he didn't hesitate, he didn't use a nanny, he took care of me!"
Stephen bows his head in silence. Lillian hugs him.
August 24th, 2058.
Lillian and Stephen decided to go shopping. Their children tagged along. As they were putting everything in the car, Stephen's phone rang.
Stephen: "Hello?"
Caller: "Stephen Banner?"
Stephen: "Yes?"
Caller: "We inform you that the reading of the will will be starting in 4 hours."
Stephen: "Okay, thank you."
4 hours later....
Stephen and Lillian sit down in the chapel.
Reader: "The will states as follows,
I, Cecil Wallace Whitfield has just realized that I have so much money, that it is too much to be measured on a 100% scale; it is to be measured on a 200% scale.
So, Charity will receive 70%(45 billion dollars), 59%(37 billion) will go to Stephen Banner and his family, and 71%(46 billion dollars) will go to my cancer for kids foundation. None of my children are successful enough, not Celia(a saleswoman), not Cynthia and Calvin, my twins(insurance agents), I mean who works to receive commission? 60 million dollars will be shared among all of my children. Shawn was a bum. I took care of him for 19 years and he became a worker at the local car wash. Ha! To all of my children, I love all of you so much. Especially my Stephen. You keep doing what you're doing. I am going to be watching from heaven.
-Cecil Wallace Whitfield.
Everyone was astonished, and somewhat jealous at Stephen. They were even astonished. Stephen smiled.
26th August, 2058.
Stephen, Lillian, and the children were at Disneyland playing on the roller coasters. When Stephen's phone rang, again.
Stephen: "Hello?"
Caller: "Hello, again, Stephen. We took a closer look at the will, and Mr. Whitfield gave you his mansion."
Stephen: "What, really?"
Caller: "And you have to start moving in A.S.A.P.! According to the fine print."
Stephen: "Okay then. Thank you for telling me."
The next day......(27th August).
Stephen and his family started moving. By the next day they were finished.
August 28th, 2058.
Stephen and his family walked into the house. Everyone was amazed at the detail and the money placed into building this house.
