And so it was. LaDonna and Elizabeth were a very happy couple. Elizabeth couldn't complete excise Lamont -- he was her boss after all. But the three children he did impregnate her with, LaDerrick, LaDainlian, and Latasha, were loved amply by the lesbian couple, along with the children Antoine and Douglas had produced for the couple.

Elizabeth was happy, despite still working her dead end job at the chicken shack, that Aaron and Emily and Katie seemed well adjusted enough. Aaron was a junior at the local university, and was dating a freshman softball player, Tasha. Emily was also a junior, although her interests were more focused on her stepbrother's best friend, Jaren. And Katie, always Elizabeth's leading light, was studying at a ritzy private university in Nashville on a full scholarship.
