Joalin invited Micah to lunch with them and spend the day with their kids.
_Wow... You have a really diverse family_ Micah said sitting in the table after meeting the kids.
He was kind of shocked with the family aesthetics, Joalin and Thomas looked clearly white, Maria had a very Hispanic look you could tell she was Latin descended but Alex was blonde with green eyes and baby Nicholas was black... So....
_Thank you darling!_ she smiled_ Are you enjoying the meal?
_It's amazing... Thank you ma'am.
_You welcome dear_ Joalin was feeling like the happiest woman on Earth_ You can play in the pool afterwards with the kids.
_Really?_ he looked excited_ Well... Thank you.
Thomas only looked at them with a tiny bit of jealousy, but he was also very proud of his wife and her kind heart.
He knew what Jo was doing but he couldn't confront her in front of the kids, especially not in front of Micah. So he waited for them to be in the pool having fun and called his wife.
_I know what is going on your mind and the answer is no!_ he said firmly at her.
_Babe listen... If we can already love three, why can't we love another one?
_Because he is a teenager, he is freaking sixteen years old, he has his own mind settled, I can't raise him anymore.
_He needs a family and if we can only take care of him and love him just like we do with the other kids then yes we will be raising him!_ she pledged.
_He..._ they started but stopped as soon as he heard the sound of the piano playing.
The couple followed the sound and they couldn't help but to get emotional from the scene.
Micah was seating with Nicho and Maria on his lap while Alex clanged to him and were playing the piano with his free hand.
They got close to them and started to applaud on signing language.
_ I taught you were deaf_ Thomas said getting hit by Joalin.
_I am but I can talk and play the piano, you just have to follow the partidure_ his smile faded_ My mother made sure I learned before she died.
_We're sorry to hear that_ Thomas said and Joalin took the kids out of Micah's lap so he could sign freely.
_I was born deaf, so she made sure I would be as able as possible.
_I’m sure she is looking after you.
_So... Where are going to take me?
_Well..._ Joalin talking but Thomas cut her off.
_ We were actually going to ask you if you would like to stay over tonight and maybe allow us to be your foster family.
_ Really?_ he was amused_ You don't even know Sir...
_That's something we will work on!
_What do you say?_ Jo asked smiling.
_Are you for real?_ he stood up_ You don't even know me man.
_First of all it's dad or Thomas, not man or dude or whatever you kids call older people_ Thomas corrected him lifting Maria up.
_We would really be treald to have you with us.
_Sir..._ He could not believe.
_Just say yes... Son!_ Joalin hugged him and He hugged her back.
_Yes_ he accepted and hugged back his new foster parents.
