"Get in here Osten", Mom whispered. I pushed the door halfway and stepped into the room. Almost everyone who lived in the palace was in the room except for the Legers. Mom moved to the front of the Woman's room and shushed everyone. "As you all know in a week is Aspen and Lucy's anniversary and I wanted to have a party. This may be a little last minute but I need all your help to make this happen." Eadlyn sat on a couch with her huge stomach of five months old. Erik, Kerttu, and Joakim sat protectively around her. "The Legers have truly done a lot for us and we should surely do this for them," Eadlyn said. Aunt Brice spoke up soon after, "Me and Miss America sat together and made a list of who we should invite, Elec, Lena, Beckner, Kamber, Celia, Reed, Jemmy, Ivy, and all of their families." Miss Lucy had no family left after her mother and father died. All the family that she had left was Mr. Leger's siblings and their families. But of course, we were all very dear to her. I had spent much time with the Legers once the Woodworks moved out and found themselves a nice home near the palace. Kaden and Josie went traveling around the country and then there weren't many people around like there had been once. Though, Kerttu and Joakim would keep me plenty busy. 


   I was deep in thoughts that I jerked when a hand fell on my shoulder. "Osten this might be a good opportunity to find a wife, I heard Mr. Leger's siblings had many daughters around your age," Dad said with a smirk. "Enough with the wedding talk, that stuff is gross." I shot back. Even though it did seem gross I wished that I would have a family who felt protective of me like Eadyln's family, a wife who would love me like Camille loved Ahren, a family who was supportive of me like Josie was to Kaden. Everyone around me had lived a happy married life with such wonderful families that even sometimes made me wonder what kind of a family I would have. "So dad, aren't Ahren and Camille coming with the new baby?" I asked. "So is Josie and Kaden." He answered. That put a smile upon my face. The whole Schreave family would be back together, once again. "They are coming in a few days, so you should get prepared for the huge crowd coming in," Dad said. 


   Before I could ask him more details, Mom came and took his hand and dragged him out of the Woman's room. All the faces swept towards the huge double doors as Mom and Dad walked out. I swiftly walked over and opened the door. It was raining. Of course, they would go out in the rain and dance like the world would fall apart if they didn't every time it rained. Everyone walked out of the room and through the door and started dancing. Eadlyn stood by the door leaning in on Erik. She looked awfully tired the past week. Kerttu ran outside dragging Joakim with her and danced spinning and spinning that I felt dizzy just watching her. I stood on the other side of the double doors when Erik started talking," Osten, you are going to have to find yourself a partner to dance out in the rain with you know." Eadlyn and Erik started smiling and it just made things worse. "What is up with everyone talking about me finding a soul mate all of a sudden?" I asked. "Well, We have no one else to tease around than you, baby brother," Eadlyn said.
