After The Final Fight

When I walked out of the building, I couldn't have been happier to see my girls. Each of them were ok. The hug that followed was the best hug of my entire life.

Finally, we were together again.

I was especially happy to hold Amy in my arms again, something I was worried would never happen.

However, my heart broke when the police dragged the man outside.

"Dad?"

Wendy isn't someone to show emotion. But right now, staring at her father, there were countless emotions on her face.

He didn't even look at her. Once he walked past, said just stood there in complete shock. I wanted to hug her, but Mio beat me too it.

Wendy didn't hug her back at first, she was too shocked.

But eventually, she did. And when she did, she cried.

...

I'd be lying if I said things went back to normal after that day. I don't think there will ever be a normal after all of that.

Wendy moved in with me. She truly didn't have anywhere else to go. Her and Mio got really close really quickly.

I don't think Amy will ever be the same. If someone is not there with her, she will wake up in the middle of the night screaming.

Lyn and Heather are almost always with her. The two of them are extremely protective of her.

I want to be there for them more, but I have nine girls to keep track of.

Oh, I had a very important conversation with Astrid. We met in the park, and I could tell she was nervous.

"Joseph, I think I'm in love with you," she said. Honestly, I was afraid of this. I love Astrid, but I don't know if I'm in love with her. At least, not yet.

"What do you want to do about it? The last thing I want is to **** you into anything," I said, holding her hands. My response was a kiss. This time, I was able to kiss back. I felt her melt into the kiss and heard a moan escape her lips.

Looks like her sweet spot is her lips.

When we pulled apart, she looked like she was in a daze. She looked at me, and then tackled me into another kiss.
