After having my order in hand, I went on my way to STAR Labs and when I arrived I saw that my parents had already arrived. After placing the food on the table that Cisco had brought to the control room, each took a chair and sat down.
"So how did the conversation with Ronnie's uncle go?" I asked curiously.
- It went well, we have what we needed and hopefully we will never have to see that man's face again.- replied my mother.
- Well, I've never met anyone as unsympathetic as him ... And look, I've talked to a lot of criminals in my career.
- Does that mean that ....
- Let's move forward with the Ronnie adoption process. If all goes well, in the near future he will, legally, be part of our family.- said this time my father smiling.
- Good! If you want me to tell you the truth, we had little time with him, but I got used to his presence at our house. It is no longer the same without him!
- At the end of lunch I will talk to my friend and give him the paper and know what the next step will be.
We spent the whole lunch talking, only this time the subject was not work but about Ronnie / Spencer. Today, as I only had to be at the CCPD in the morning, I ended up deciding to stay here at the laboratory. My mother also told me to go for a walk anywhere, but I sincerely enjoy being here, surrounded by my family.
Minutes after Joe left, Dawn showed up at the lab just to let us know that today was her friend's birthday party. In the late afternoon, I went with my mother to buy our dinner.
"What are we going to take?" I asked my mom when we got to the take-away restaurant.
We took the menu and took almost ten minutes to choose, but we chose to bring some burritos and nachos . We passed a grocery store nearby and bought a few bottles of juice and two ice creams (one with cheesecake and one with caramel) for our dessert.

When we got home, my dad and Ronnie had already arrived, but Dawn was no longer at home. As it was already time for dinner, my parents prepared the table and put the food my mother and I bought, on top.
