--- 7th of March, 1966 ---

It has been seven months since the triplets have emerged fortunately in the world perfectly healthy. Seven months of sheer happiness. Seven months of the beginning of their discovery of their small family world. A few months of isolation from the real world by dipping themselves in the depths of the crude, cold world that encircled them.

The former devotional man of the cloth was still working as a Latin teacher in high school, although sometimes he came back at home with mild irritation which quickly petered out, due to Cindy, Jalen Snow, Skyler Autumn and his wife Judy. As usually, he came back from teaching at school with a smile that glimmered thousands of radiant brands. The quantity of time he worked in school as a teacher was sufficiently satisfying by entertaining the students with his own personal stories by teaching them a lesson and giving them abundance of advices, besides teaching them properly even with his small quantity of experience as a teacher. Furthermore, from time to time Jude paid a visit to his classes along with their triplets or she's waiting for him to finish his classes so that to go home altogether. The children really loved him and they quickly became fond of him and vice versa.

Further, the former promiscuous jazz nightclub singer told to Timothy everything about her grim past. From the injured hit-and-run victim little girl with the blue coat up to her former fiancé Casey. Although her prejudices, Timothy embraced the trials she's been through a few decades ago and his love for her grew even more by giving her a prompt to not focus on the past and move on in the present and future.

In spite of the British compatriot having a job and spending a half a day in the week days outside their cottage, anyway the Bostonian preferred to stay at home since she was on fire with looking after the triplets, cooking, gardening and cleaning. Last but not least, they were far from unlucky to be exceedingly wealthy so that either of them being employed.

For seven months, neither Skyler and Cindy, nor Jalen have spoken a single word. They only babbled and cooed even giggled.

Whilst the British aristocrat was having his third class Latin with ninth graders, they pleasantly surprised him since today was his birthday and he was getting along with them and the adolescents especially once he entered in the class room.

"Happy Birthday, Mr. Howard!" All students have already gotten from their seats, factly, they respected their Latin teacher as the giant present they got for him was on the last desk in the middle column, roaring jubilant in a choir as if they chanted an opera.

"Good day, students!" Cheerfully mesmerized smile parted upon his pale-pinkish, soft as satin lips as his cocoa brown orbs, dappled with luxurious patterns of sheer felicity glittered in awe how they're well organized to start their current class. "That's so kind of you, but it wasn't your obligation at all." Although their childlike goodwill and their mutual platonic love as a student-teacher relationship, he was deeply touched by their selfless natures and it was slightly uncomfortable for him. Light, cherry texture powdered his cheeks with mild balmy heat, whilst Chloe and Amber ambled up to the giant present, heaving it from the last hardwood desk by approaching the teacher's bureau, in order to deliver the present to their favorite teacher.

Chloe and Amber were very fond of one another since they're friends since their early childhood. First and foremost, they were donned in strict school uniforms, whereas Chloe had a French braided auburn braid on the left shoulder, framing ideally her round, vaguely chubby profile with her astonishingly childlike innocent emerald green pools and fair skin tone. She wasn't tall at all. She stood only 5'4 unlike her childhood friend Amber.
