That night, I declared my love to Lola in a song I wrote just for her. I know how much she loves music, so I knew that she would appreciate it. She seemed surprised, but touched by it, too. Posted by Picasa

I saw Ultra playing Red Hands with Reed; they were so cute. I think Reed looks up to her as a role model, since she's also part alien. Posted by Picasa

Wisteria stayed for dinner, and Ultra had come over to hang out with Jade, so it was almost like being back at home with you guys again. Aspen was telling me about how he might like to get into politics, but I kept wanting to look at Lola. Posted by Picasa

Wisteria came over not too long after that, gushing about how happy she was to be married to Shane, and how important it was to have a partner in your life who you love entirely. What she said really hit me, and I knew that that was how I felt about Lola. Posted by Picasa

I did nothing but think about Lola the next few days. Sorry I didn't call you or Cyan, but I was afraid you guys wouldn't approve and if things didn't work out with Lola and me, I'd never have to say anything. I hope you understand. Posted by Picasa

Lola called her sister to ask for her advice. Of course Chloe told her to go for it, and for once, I was happy for Chloe's impulsive ideas! Posted by Picasa

Fearing this would be our last kiss (I just kept thinking that maybe we shouldn't be doing this) I didn't want it to stop! There were flies on the dishes by the time we were done making out! But that's as far as it went. That night at least . . .  Posted by Picasa

Then I pulled her face up to me and kissed her with a passion I didn't know I had! Posted by Picasa

Lola started kissing my neck and I got all sorts of ideas in my head from that! Posted by Picasa

So, I gave into the moment as she took me in her arms and kissed me, for what was my very first kiss! You know that I've never kissed a girl; I liked Trista but was always too shy to do anything about it. But I didn't feel shy at all with Lola! Posted by Picasa

We were both as shocked as you look right now, Grey! Yes, Green was my son and he loved this woman and had children with her, MY grandchildren! But he had been gone for so long and now I loved her, too! It probably didn't help that Lola and I had to share her bed, and kept putting off getting me one. Nothing happened; it just felt so good to have someone there beside me at night, and Lola wanted me there, too, for when she missed Green and needed a shoulder to cry on. But now I started thinking about that bed upstairs in a different way . . .  Posted by Picasa

We looked at each other and just started laughing in joy--it was then that we knew our feelings for each other had changed! We had always loved each other as family, but now it was something different! We were also laughing because it seemed so ridiculous, but then we got quiet as we realized it was serious--we had fallen in love with each other! (Seriously, they fell in love after ONE FLIRT! I have never seen that happen before! So I had to go with it!) Posted by Picasa

Well, I was talking to Lola one night after dinner. The kids were all in their rooms and we were putting up dishes. She told me how happy she was that I was living there now. I said, Yeah, the kids seem to like me being here. Then she said, no, SHE liked me being here, and stroked my face! Posted by Picasa

Ice comes over for a visit with Grey. "So, what's going on with Lola?" Grey says. "It's funny you ask, Grey. I have a long story to tell you . . . "  Posted by Picasa

Later that day, Wisteria heads off to her job as a manager of a fast food restaurant! She was inspired by Albert, the only "dad" she's ever known, to enter the Culinary field. She's working her way up, just like he did! Posted by Picasa

Ulta walks up to Cadet and has something to brag about herself--sneaking out! "It was so awesome!" Posted by Picasa

Uh oh, looks like Jan's not too impressed that Cadet just bragged about maxing his creativity skills! She thinks he's a show off! Posted by Picasa

Welcome to Landscape Painting 101 . . .  Posted by Picasa

"Hey, Cooper! I thought Jan took over my route?" Shane asks. "Yeah, she did; I just stopped by to congratulate my favorite coworker on his marriage! Congratulations, man!" Posted by Picasa

Wisteria decides to sleep in. She's really tired for some strange reason . . . Posted by Picasa

"Hey, Jan! Guess you're taking over my route, huh? Good to see you! Why don't you stay for breakfast!" Posted by Picasa

Cadet masters his creativity with the Hydroponic Garden. That way his paintings will get him lots of simoleans! Posted by Picasa

Ah, that's more like a couple on their honeymoon should act! Shane serenades his new bride while Orchid pretends not to watch. "Just doing some painting, don't mind me . . . " Posted by Picasa

And then, Wisteria goes on to mop the bathroom floor, while Shane fixes the computer! Stop it, you guys, you're having too much fun! (They autonomously did these things, honestly!) Posted by Picasa

Right after their first night of woohoo, Wisteria decides it would be fun to clean the counter, while Shane has a blast fixing the dishwasher! Those crazy kids! Watch out, Shane, that's the dishwasher that killed Wisteria's dad! Posted by Picasa
