For better or worse

Ch.M/ New years

It had been about a month since they had started to live in Monmouth. Nico was having a boy and a girl. Though the names still uncertain, they were happy. Gabe and Thomas, along with Alexis and Calypso. It was nice to have people that understood them. Everyone had thought about going back to camp for Christmas and New Years, but decided against it.
