A cute family shot to close on! This was after Rosemary's birthday, but before Shane's and Indigo's. I had a really cute shot with adult Indigo and elder Shane, where he was giving Wisteria a smooch on the cheek, but that screen didn't get saved somehow, blah. Hope you enjoyed. The next update will kick the drama up a notch! Posted by Picasa

And Indigo doesn't go to bed. Instead, she goes to practice on the last career object I needed for the point (yay!), the lie detector. Um, Indigo, you should probably work on NOT lying, instead of learning to lie better! I guess she still has some maturing to do! Hopefully, time will do that. We'll see! Posted by Picasa

Sage goes to bed, hoping she'll dream about love. Posted by Picasa

"Of course I would marry you again, Shane! You are everything to me! I can't imagine my life without you, or our girls. I love our life togther and I love you. Now kiss me." Aren't they romantic! Posted by Picasa

She had decided to let Indigo make the mistakes she needed to make to learn, under a mom's watchful eye, of course! She knew that Chandler was keeping his distance from Indigo, physically, so she didn't worry about that. She thought Indigo would tell him her real age before her birthday, though! That silly girl! Wisteria is interrupted from her thoughts by a handsome white-haired gentleman asking her to marry him all over again. Posted by Picasa

As Wisteria says goodnight to her grown-up little girl, she sees a look of maturity in her eyes that wasn't there before. She saw Indigo talking with Chandler in the yard earlier and remembering that, has a good idea of what happened to cause that sudden maturity. Posted by Picasa

"I'm sorry if I was harsh, Indigo. I care about you; I just need some time to trust you again. And we both need some time to figure out if this is the relationship we want to be in. I'm not going back to the force. I've been thinking about doing some backpacking through Eastern Simrope, actually, and have decided to do it. Now. I'll be gone for a few months. If we still want to be together after that, great. If not, at least we haven't made a big mistake. I hope you understand that I have to go." Indigo sighs and agrees. "You're right, Chandler. I think some time apart will let us know whether we should be together or not. I love you and will miss you, and there won't be anyone else till you get back." "There better not be," Chandler smiles and kisses her hand before going home to pack for Eastern Simrope.  Posted by Picasa

Chandler runs outside and finds Indigo by the buffet table, looking forlorn. He walks up to her, and gives her a long, deep kiss, showing her how much he does love her, want her, and need her. Posted by Picasa

"Gah, Cadet! How long have you been in here???" Cadet answers, "The whole time, dude. You guys should really make sure no one is in the bathroom before barging in like that! And Indigo is a good kid, Chandler, really. She screwed up, yeah, but you should give her another chance." Posted by Picasa

"Well, actually, there was this guy at school--" Chandler cuts her off again, "What, you were? I can't believe this!" Indigo starts crying even more and runs out of the bathroom. Posted by Picasa

"I'm sorry that I wasn't honest with you before. I was even afraid to tell you before my party, since I thought you wouldn't come if you knew the truth. I love you. I have always loved you and I guess I thought it didn't matter, since I'm only three years younger than you." Indigo is afraid to even look up at Chandler's face and bites her lip a little while he responds. "Indigo, I love you, too. I have always felt this distance between us, and that is why I never went further than a hug with you. But if I had! I'm a police officer! Do you know how much trouble I would be in if I was intimate with a minor!" Indigo, crying a little, jumps in, "But . . . I didn't think--" Chandler cuts her off, "No, you didn't think. And now I am going to be a laughing stock at the station! I love you, but I can't trust you! If you lied to me about this, what else have you lied about? You were probably even seeing someone else!" Posted by Picasa

"Let's not talk about that right now. I've wanted to touch you like this for so long." Chandler is momentarily dazed by the touch of those soft fingers across his face and the heat coming from those beautiful blue eyes. Posted by Picasa

Indigo and Chandler met up in the bathroom to talk, out of the way of all of the festivities! They hug like they have so many times before and Chandler asks her why she didn't tell him her real age before. The 18 candles on the cake were kind of a tip off! Posted by Picasa

And Indigo got a new appearance, too! (She got new clothes, too, so she wouldn't look so "formal" all of the time.) Now you can definitely tell she's Wisteria's daughter! Posted by Picasa

Shane really needed some different hair, so he got a makeover. The glasses are really him, I think. He looks distinguished, yet cool at the same time. Posted by Picasa

Shane shows he still has some moves while dancing with his wife. Grey is impressed. Posted by Picasa

Rosemary thinks to herself that she doesn't need to worry about having friends, with her daddy around! Posted by Picasa

Wisteria tells Shane that he can't expect a little girl to be as neat as him, while Rosemary eyes her dad's piece of cake. Posted by Picasa

"You know, Rosemary, if you want to make friends, you'll need to be neater when you eat!" Posted by Picasa

Then she gets to throw the confetti while Shane gets the elder package--white hair, wrinkles and different clothes. Posted by Picasa

Rosemary in particular enjoys her daddy's light show! Posted by Picasa

As the sun goes down, it's Shane's turn at the cake. This time, (almost) everyone cheers properly. Posted by Picasa

Indigo, post-transition into adulthood. Posted by Picasa

"Wow, great dress, Mom and Dad! Thanks!" Posted by Picasa

That looks kind of painful for Indigo! Posted by Picasa
