The daily grind. Luckily the house was small so there was not much to clean up. But weirdly too much for a small house.
Todd got bathed by his new dad.
Yes, a little later, Francis adopted Todd as a care dependent.
And good times were ahead.

For Gardenia and Francis too.

Biolina came by too. Was super nice to catch up with her again.
As for April...
April? What are you doing? You were supposed to date Gardenia's old date not her current one.

Gardenia and Francis were doing too good. The Romance festival really kicked off this great love story.
Ah, was so nice to finally be in a proper relationship.

Life was great! Finally.
The weather was super nice even well into autumn. Todd got to splash around in his little pool. When Francis was at work Todd and mum went to the park. But got a phone call from baby daddy Jerry.
Mum and the son went along. Also it was Night On The Town holiday. Free festival food? Yes, please! G and F were okay with this tradition while little T didn't care for it.
Oh Juliet came too! She had been very scared at home for some reason so Gardenia thought the change of scenery might help her relax.
Also Gardenia's nice enough and stuff but she started flaunting her wealth (not that she had that much of it!) as they go to the public place. Much to the annoyance to everyone around her. Jerry included. He was actually working at the festival.
It was cold in San Myshuno too. The family got bundled up.Gardenia sat down to enjoy the bubble blowing a little while Todd enjoyed his sippy cup.
Once Francis got off work, he joined the duo. He wasn't feeling too good though. Was sick.
But the bubbles helped. The parents stayed to bubble quite a bit.
Todd went to find his biological dad Jerry.
He found him and they danced all evening. And yes that lady is wearing a medieval helmet.

After the parents were well dazed they went to get the munchies. Free munchies.
So with her first love behind her back, her baby daddy to her right and her current lover in front of her, dazed, she asked Francis to leave his wife Madeline for her. And he did too.
He was sad about his divorce but hopeful and happy about the future with Gardenia.

And the night, the holiday too, was a success!

Gardenia got a little reward in the morning too - fanmail. Lump of clay. Um... yay!
