Remembering she could cheat now in front of Jenna, she nose twitched their cups to warm the coffee, “Such as?”

“How am I going to explain to my mother she’s an instant grandmother of a six and an eight year old, with the possibility of her former son, now daughter in every way adding to the brood? And…how do we explain Rick’s total remission to the medical community without getting an extended stay in the psyche ward or at a medical research facility?”

Samantha thought for a moment. “I'm not sure but …I’ve been married to Darrin for nearly six years and if I told you all things that have happened, of all the times my family has wreaked magic and mayhem in our lives, you would never believe that we would still be here at Morning Glory Circle living an almost normal mortal existence, but we are and it's because
somehow…some way these things always find a way of working out and I’m sure it'll be the same for you and your family. Speaking of family, I can't wait for you to meet most of mine, especially my Aunt Clara. She's just the sweetest dearest thing. You're going to love her, but you might have to watch your door knobs.”

Jenna gave her an odd look and laughed, “She sounds wonderful and maybe you're right …maybe I’m just going to have to have a little faith that everything will work out somehow, you know … cross bridges when I come to them and hope I don’t have to jump the Grand Canyon.”

Samantha gave her a hug. “And you can always count on me to help or to be a babysitter anytime you and Rick want to work on number three.”

Jenna blushed and giggled, “Thanks I will keep that in mind and I'm going to keep something else in mind too.”

Samantha leaned forward and whispered, “What’s that?”

Jenna leaned in, “It’s never going to be boring is it?”

Samantha made the V sign beneath her nose.”Not for one minute…witches honor “

Both women suddenly broke out in much needed laughter as they reached for their coffee cups.

Across the room, the girls were taking a break after Cathleen had won the last round of hide and seek. Tabitha smiled at Becky, “Are you happy now?”

Becky smiled big, “Uh huh, I’m so…happy!”

“Are you scared or sad bout wakin up tomorrow and not memberin no more that you used to be big?”

Becky shook her head, “Nopers, cause we got Aunt Jen…I mean a mom and dad who will take care of us…and we get to be littles …and we'll …I don't wanna really remember all the other stuff tomorrow. I just want to remember it right now so I can be thankful for how lucky me and Cathleen are. And besides …I’m eight years old, so I’m not scared of nothin!”

Suddenly, Cathleen jumped out of her hiding place with a loud lion’s roar which sent Brave Becky and Tabitha running and screaming with Cathleen in hot pursuit.

Jenna sipped her coffee and smiled as she watched the girls play. Turning back to Samantha she said with a contented sigh. “I honestly think I can say that all’s well that ends well “

The smile evaporated when she noticed the flier on the coffee table. “Well .. almost everything.”

She picked up the flier, “After all of this, it looks like we're still going to have to close the store and say goodbye. I mean, even with me no longer being transgender and the girls…well being the girls…I’m afraid it won't make any difference. They’ll find something else to attack us with. It’s been my experience that people like that rarely ever give up “

Samantha patted her hand, “Don't worry Jenna. Like I’ve been telling you, things like this always find a way of working out “
