They decided to wait till night fall they until then they just played games.

"YOUR CHEATING!"

Jack yelled at Gavin because that was the tenth time he had lost to him in the board game they were playing.

"Your going to lose"

Miles told Lilac as they played they're own board game.

Juniper sat down not knowing what to do.

"Want to play a game?"

Liam asked.

"Sure"

She stood up and followed him.

Olivia felt kind of left out since she was knew to this whole thing.

"Hey"

Jack walked up to her.

"Uhm, you want to join us?"

He asked.

She nodded.

Connie and rebbeca sat and watched television while playing chess.

Valerie stood between Connie and rebbeca setting the timer each time they finished they're turn.

"I'm not good at this?"

Rebbeca told him.

"I'm not much better"

Connie responded.

"So what are we playing?"

Juniper asked.

"What about this?"

Liam pulled out a random board game.

"I guess..."

She said looking at the box.

Liam set the bxo down.

"You can take my turn"

Jack told Olivia while Gavin smiled.

"Prepare to find out why he lost ten times"

Gavin warned her playfully she smiled ready to play.

Mal was upstairs watching TV while Christine was cooking she smiled listening to the kids play.

"Mally can you help set up the table?"

She asked.

Mal stood up.

Opening the cabinets and pulled out the plates before going back to get the cups.

"KIDS WASH YOUR HANDS AND GET READY TO EAT!"

Christine called out.

As she stirred the pot her mind couldn't stop going back to what Annie told her.

She put the spaghetti on the plates.

All the kids walked up.

"Thanks mom"

Connie said.

"Thank you Mrs.Kingston!"

All the kids said collectively.

They all started eating while Mal was writing something on her notebook.

Christine went to the bathroom.

Mal looked back to see the kids eating and got a glimpse of her mom walking to the bathroom.

Lilac was eating until suddenly she stopped.

She wad just staring.

Miles saw her and tapped her shoulder.

She didn't move.

"Lilac!"

He exclaimed shaking her shoulder.

She jotled.

"Yeah!"

She responded.

Everyone stared at her.

"You...ok?"

Rebbeca asked.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine"

She continued eating.

Everyone kept staring.

"Whats everyone looking at me like that for?"

She questioned.

"I'm fine seriously"

She told them.

She rolled her eyes before storming off.

Miles looked at her before standing up following her.

"Lilac..."
