Chapter 75-Parenting 101


The pregnancy symptoms kicked in right away as Chrissie was constantly tired and had no energy at all.  She seemed to have a bionic nose that could detect any smell from far away and odors that never bothered her before made her feel queasy and nauseous.  They call it morning sickness but it to hit her at any time of the day.   The nausea was so bad she prayed for it to go away, but sadly that was not the case as the nausea lingered on and was always there.



Mickey was a nervous wreck but didn't want to show it as he figured the last thing she needed was to see him panic.   Whenever she would clutch her stomach he knew exactly what to expect next she would cover her mouth, gag and make a mad dash to the bathroom.   Mickey brought her damp cloths to wipe her forehead and he reassured her that all of this was temporary and would soon pass.



He would bring her ginger ale, dry crackers or anything she asked for.  In the morning it was a breakfast of ginger tea and dry toast always served to her in bed.  He gave her a backrubs to relax her, held her when she needed comfort and gave her some space when she wanted to be alone.  He did indeed feel helpless while he watched her suffer so he did anything he could to make her feel as comfortable as possible.



Chrissie needed to rest often and she took frequent naps.  Mickey would watch her sleep and think about their future as he knew they couldn’t live in this house forever.  Chrissie’s parents insisted they live there for as long as they needed because that sadistic vampire who tried to kill his wife not once but twice was still out there somewhere.  He even tried to kill Chrissie as a child so the baby that she carried was also considered to be a possible target.  He did make a promise that he would do anything in his power to keep his wife and child safe from that monster no matter what measures he had to take.

Meanwhile at Wolfie and Abby’s house:



A surprise was waiting for Wolfie one day after he finished recording his newest song.  All four of his grandchildren from his eldest son Denny were waiting for him to arrive home.  Many years have passed since Abby and Wolfie petitioned the court for guardianship and there was a bitter custody battle.  It was a battle Wolfie was determined to win as he would not repeat the mistake of allowing the Goodfellows to raise his flesh and blood ever again.



The two oldest Cory and Wayne were already influenced to go into a life of crime and were sentence to live in a juvenile detention center until they became of legal age.  Once their mother Gretchen gave her consent to the guardianship, Wolfie pulled some strings and the two were transferred to a military school.  The two have been on the straight and narrow ever since.  Cory is now living in Riverview and is working as a fashion designer.  Wayne travels a lot due to his band touring as he inherited his grandfather’s talent for music. 




The youngest Brooks doesn’t have any memories of his father and the only memories of his mother were on visiting day at the prison.  His grandparents were the only caretakers he ever knew.  He lives in Appaloosa Plains and eventually became a veterinarian who specializes in race horses.


The only child who was not born a fairy and still lives in Aurora Skies is Carson.  He graduated law school and is now working in the Aurora Skies district attorney’s office. 



Wolfie: This certainly is a surprise; it’s not often that I see all four of you together. 

Carson:  Grandpa Wolfie we received some bad news from the warden at Simcatraz.  Our mother passed away last night.

Wolfie:  I’m sorry for your loss.  You shouldn't have to worry about the funeral arrangements as I will make sure that is all taken care of.



Cory:  Wayne, Brooks and I flew in as soon as we heard the news.  We have some legal issues that we need to take care of first and we have all made these decisions long before now.

Wayne:  We knew our mother was not well so it was only a matter of time. However she did send every one of us letters and in each she says that she is grateful that you and Grandma Abby gave us a good life and so are we.

Carson:  One thing she stresses in each letter is that the shares of Landgraab Industries that she inherited from Dad never end up with the Goodfellows.  While she was in prison they tried to make her sign them over but she always refused.




Brooks:  Mama never trusted them and neither do we.  That is why we have all legally changed our names to Landgraab as we should have no ties to the name Goodfellow nor do we want them. 

Cory: Carson drew up all the legal documents and they have been signed.  We have been discussing this for some time now and we decided that this should be something we would all do together as a family.



Carson:  Grandpa we are signing over all 49% of Landgraab Industries back to you.  Our father obtained them with malicious intent and we all know the events that transpired on the day he died.  Despite our father’s actions you took us in and gave all of us a good life that we would have never had otherwise.



Wolfie: All of you are my grandchildren just like Starr and Chrissie.  I wanted to take care of all of you and give you a good life.  I’m honored that you are taking the Landgraab name as that is your birthright.  The shares are another story; do you know how much money those shares generate?

Carson:  The money doesn’t matter to us but you, Grandma Abby and the love that you gave us does.  We all feel that this is the right thing to do and we intend to do it.  Mama also knew and she was fine with our plans.  She said that she made plenty of bad choices in her life but giving you and Grandma Abby her support in the custody battle was the best choice she could have ever made. She told each of us all that she was proud of the way we turned out, but not proud that we were better off being raised with someone other than herself.


Wayne:  You made it possible for Cory and I to be released from juvie and I can’t begin to tell you what it was like in there.  Without you and Grandma, I would hate to think about what would have happened to all of us.

Wolfie:  I’m glad that your Grandma and I did get to raise you and we are proud of the people you have become. I only wish I would have had the same opportunity with your father so that maybe he would have never turned to a life of crime.  Of course I can’t be sure look what happened with your Aunt Valerie.



Carson:  Aunt Valerie is another subject I needed to bring up.  As you know I am not permitted to work on her case but I am keeping tabs on the situation.  I don’t think her appeal is going to help her any.  We are all going to have to face the fact that the evidence against her is overwhelming and she will be in Simcatraz for a very long time.  



Wolfie:  Your Grandmother is already troubled by this whole mess; she is not going to be happy about this information.  Grandma and I will have to make arrangements to visit your Aunt after the funeral of course.  I will start notifying the family at once as I’m sure that they will be there to show their support.  I want each and everyone of you to know that you will always be members of a large and loving family and we will all be there for you whenever you need us.


Two weeks later at Simcatraz:



Visiting this place always depressed both Wolfie and Abby.  It was dirty, dark and gloomy and both of them hated the idea that this would be the place that Valerie would have to call home.  



They did have one advantage as they were always ushered through the back and was able to visit their daughter in one of the interrogation rooms. When the news of Valerie’s crimes hit the press the tabloids had a field day with the story.  The paparazzi that followed Wolfie Landgraab caused way too much commotion as they all wanted to get a picture of the rock star and his jail bird daughter.  Finally the warden had no choice but to grant special visiting rules for the Landgraabs to avoid the uproar and pandemonium.  Even with the special visitation the Landgraabs had to follow some rules.  They had to make appointments and their visit must be approved by the warden.  They had to follow a strict dress code and dress conservatively and modestly.  No denim or any colors that resembled prisoner attire were permitted to be worn.  They needed to remember not to wear anything that couldn’t pass through a metal detector as they would be search before they could enter.  All they were allowed to bring in with them was their identification and quarters for the vending machines as Valerie might miss her meal.  



A female prison guard escorted Valerie into the room and she would remain outside guarding the door for the entire visit.  It was clear that Valerie had some trouble as she was sporting a shiner.  Being a wolf she could hold her own but sometimes someone else would get the better of her. Life in prison was not easy and Valerie hated every minute of it.



They would be allowed to hug or touch once at the beginning and the end of each visit, but no physical contact was allowed during the visit.  Seeing Valerie like this always brought tears to Abby's eyes as no matter what Valerie did she was still her baby girl.



Valerie:  Is there any news about when you are going to get me out of this hell hole?

Wolfie:  From what I hear it doesn't look good for your appeal.

Valerie:  Daddy you promised I would be out of here by now and yet I’m still here.



Abby:  That is not what your father promised.  He promised to help and he hired you the best defense attorney he could find. 

Valerie:  A lot of good that did me.  That so called shark you hired turned out to be nothing more than a jelly fish.  He wanted me to plead guilty.



Wolfie:  He said that was the best course of action to get you a lighter sentence.  You were guilty and there was plenty of evidence to support that.  You didn’t give him much to work with.

Valerie:  Ughhhh!  I can’t believe I came from a family of such imbeciles!  Daddy there are other ways you could have arranged for my release!

Abby: Your father did everything he possibly could.



Valerie:  Oh puh-lease!  You can’t tell me you are that dumb that you believe his bull shit!

Wolfie:  Now listen here I will not have you talking to your mother like that.  Your mother has been worried sick about you being in this place and so have I.

Valerie: If you were so worried you would get me out of here.  Anything can be arranged for the right price especially when you have your connections.  You pulled strings for Denny's brats.

Wolfie: That was different.  The crimes they committed were no where near as serious as yours and let us not forget they were minors.  They were in juvie and they weren't released.  They finished their sentence in a military school instead.


Abby:  You can’t be suggesting that your father break the law just so you can be released from prison.

Valerie: You are damn right I am!  He would do it for his precious Sandi or the Golden Boy but for me nothing as usual.  It’s just like when we were growing up they got everything and me NADA!



Wolfie:  There were no favorites among any of you.  We gave all of you a good life and anything you ever wanted.  Maybe we gave you too much as you seem to be acting like a spoiled brat!  Where you ever got this idea that we preferred your brothers or sisters over you I have no idea.  We taught you right from wrong but it’s a lesson you didn’t seem to learn.  Now you want me to break the law so I can get you off with a slap on the wrist.  Well that is not going to happen. 



Valerie:  It figures you would say that.  I should have expected this.  I have seriously had enough with both of you.  Maybe I can get myself out of her with my dividends for my Landgraab Industry stock.  You can use that.

Wolfie: You no longer have any stocks in Landgraab Industry.  I had to pull them back as I have with most of the family stock. 

Valerie:  You pulled them back?

Wolfie:  After the hostle take over attempt I pulled most of the family stock back and only the heir apparents have shares.  Your Grandfather's will gave me the right to do this if I feel it is necessary. After you tried to sell your shares to Denny, I didn’t think they were that important to you. 

Valerie:  Well where is the money going to?  What's the matter you don’t have enough to line your pockets you need that too?



Wolfie:  I’ll tell you where that money is going to YOUR CHILDREN!  Do you remember them?   Jackson and Mariah?  Do you even remember their names?   We have a relationship with them how come you do not?  I know they haven’t been here to visit you because they want nothing to do with you!  Thankfully they have good fathers who take care of them and I have made sure that are well provided for.  I set up trust funds for them as I have for all of my grandchildren.  I can’t believe the nerve on you to accuse your mother and I of favoring your brother and sister, but you forgot about your own children?



Valerie:  THAT’S IT!  I have had enough of the two of you!   Don’t you even think of coming back here unless you arrange for my release!  I don’t want to see either of you anymore as I get sick just looking at the two of you.  Just get out of here and I won’t be accepting any visits from either of you.


Wolfie:  Now that you had your say, I am going to have mine.  You had every opportunity to make a good life for yourself. You never wanted for anything because we gave you everything you needed. We gave you a good education, bought you a nice house to live in, you married three good men that you let slip through your fingers and you have two wonderful children who have neglected.  Some people would be jealous of the life you had and yet it wasn’t enough.  You threw it all away for this Shane person and this senseless revenge against your brother. 

Your mother and I will always love you whether you want to believe it or not. I will not break the law for you and you are going to have accept your punishment.  I will have your lawyer call you if there is any more information you need.  You want us to go we will and we won’t be back until you change your attitude.


There was not much more for Wolfie and Abby to do or say at this point as Valerie was not listening to a word they had to say.   All they could do is walk away and leave their daughter behind to pay for her crimes.  They really did try to teach all of their children right from wrong and somehow four out of the five learned that lesson.  Both were quiet on the ride home as neither one of them knew how their sweet little girl grew up so angry, vindictive and full of hate.  They never favored Sandi, Tyrone, Eddie or Ebony over Valerie but she somehow convinced herself that she was not as important to them.  Nothing could be further than truth as they indeed loved and cared for each and every one of their children.


When they arrived home the portal was in front of their house and they expected to see Grandma Holly and Grandpa Emmett.  


When they walked into the house they were surprised as Victor, Abby’s father was waiting for them.  He lived 4000 years in the future and served as a caretaker in Holly and Emmett’s house.  He preferred to spend all of his time there and rarely did he come to the past. 


Abby: Daddy what are you doing here?

Victor: Isn’t it obvious I have come to see my daughter and her husband.  It looks like something is wrong by the looks on your faces.

Wolfie: Victor we do love to see you but I’m sure you already know what the problem is and that is why my Grandparent’s sent you here.

Victor:  Living in the future does have its advantages. Yes I do know about Valerie and the horrible visit you had today.  Your Grandparents and I knew that both of you would be going through a hard time and you needed some support.

Abby: I don’t know how this happened or how I failed so badly with Valerie.  Something has gone terribly wrong with my baby girl and I don't know how to fix it.  What I want to do now is take that time portal and do it all again but this time better.


Victor:  Well my sweet Abigail, you know that is possible as we do have to ability to travel through time but this is strictly against the rules of the mission.  I do assure both of you, if you turned that clock back you wouldn’t do anything different as you haven't done anything wrong.  You loved each and every one of your children with all you heart, and you did a much better job at parenting than I ever did.  When they were little you helped them make their choices until it was time for them to make their own.  They all became adults and your job was finished.  You gave them the knowledge they all needed to live respectable lives.  Valerie made some very bad choices which neither one of you had anything to do with.  After you knew what she did you helped her even though you didn’t condone her actions.  You aren’t going to abandon her or stop loving her even after that blow out at the prison today.  You will be back there when she needs you and she will need you again no matter what she said to you today. What you have done is exactly what good parents would do.


Abby still had tears in her eyes as she hugged her father and Wolfie stood there silently while thinking about everything his father-in-law said.  Victor was right the Landgraabs did the best for all of their children.  They raised five children and four grandchildren and Valerie was only one of them.


Victor:  I do hope it is ok for me to hang out here for a couple of days?

Wolfie: Of course Victor, you are always welcome here.

Victor:  I wasn’t able to attend the wedding so I want to see my Granddaughter and meet her husband.

Abby:  I will call and let them know that we are on our way.

Victor:  Let me change first as these clothes will not be in style for another 4000 years.

A little later on at Starr’s house:


Victor was happy to be reunited with his grandchildren as he had not seen them in a long time.  Chrissie and Taylor were little girls but now he seen that they had grown into beautiful women.  He had not met Alicia yet and he adored his little granddaughter.


Victor did not come empty handed as he had a few gifts.  The one for Mickey made especially for him by Holly and the card on the gift simply read:

When the time comes you will need this potion.  No one will have to tell when but I promise you that you will know.


He handed Chrissie a package which was a gift from him to the baby.  By accident he kept referring to the child as his new grandson and even used the name Bae.  Chrissie realized the child she was carrying had to be a boy as neither her nor Mickey told anyone the chosen names.  


The gifts were opened later and Mickey did receive a potion which was labled:
"Potent Cure"



Chrissie opened the gift to find the cutest little sailor suit for a toddler along with a toy shark and a toy boat.

To be continued…….

  1. So much happening here and I loved every minute of it! :)

    Uuuugh, I feel so bad for Chrissie and the morning sickness. Let's hope she'll start feeling better again soon before the baby comes. Mickey is so sweet to her and that has to help. :)

    Oh, Valerie...Valerie. You still have a lot to learn and it looks like prison life hasn't knocked one iota of sense into you. You expect Daddy to get you out of the mess you make and even demand, yes DEMAND that he go as far as to break the law to do it. Girl, you are delusional to the inth power. You had it made in the shade but you threw it all away for senseless revenge because of stuff that happened only in your mind. Well, you've got a really, really long time so sit and stew about it because things aren't going to change any time soon. You're the one sitting in jail while your other siblings are enjoying the life they've made for themselves. Tut tut. You have some nerve accusing your parents of favoritism when you neglected your own children! You desreve to lose everything with how you've been acting.

    I loved the scene with the 4 grandkids. That was so sweet and very heartwarming to see how much they appreciated what Wolfie and Abby did for them. I'm sure Denny is rolling over in his grave but he will just have to burn in Hell and watch while his kids got the life Wolfie offered him but so rudely threw back in his face. Good for those kids adn they are going to go far. :)

    I know it will forever sting with what happened wiht Valerie, but I hope what the 4 grandkids did will help ease Wolfie and Abby's pain even a little.

    It was nice to see Victor again and have him pop in when Wolfie and Abby needed something like that to happen. Makes me wonder what the gifts are all about. Bae (we now know it's a boy and what his name will be, thanks to Victor revealing that LOL) got a sailor suit and a toy shark, so something tells me a lot of water is going to be in his future. And Mickey getting the Potent Cure potion...hmmm. I wonder what that's all about.

    Awesomely wonderful chapter and I'm looking forward to seeing what's next. :)

    1. Oh yes! I forgot to mention seeing the custom wedding pictures you made. :) I was looking on that wall for Lenora and Tyrone's wedding picture but didn't see it. I guess it's on another wall, unless I missed it, since that one looked pretty full already.

    2. Sadly Chrissie has some morning sickness and it has been affecting her first trimester. Mickey has been supporting her as much as he could and has been doing his best to make her feel comfortable.

      Valerie does have a lot to learn and she is as spoiled as ever. Wolfie and Abby did say they would stand by her and support her which is something they have done. They hired her the best attorney and had she listened to his advice she might have received a lesser sentence but as Wolfie said she wanted a slap on the wrist which was not going to happen. They never took favorites among any of their children but somehow she had the wrong impression. Ironically it was her who forgot her own children. Denny's children are grateful to their grandparents as was their mother when she passed away. Obviously no matter what Valerie says Wolfie and Abby did plenty right as she was the only one to turn out bad. Victor pointed this very thing out to them as they really didn't do anything wrong.

      We all know that Holly and Emmett know the future and Victor is their caretaker so he has plenty of information too. Victor knew the baby is a boy and what his name would be. Gifts from the future also have a meaning but only time will tell what they are.

      I sent you a PM about the CC pictures.

      Thanks for reading :)

  2. Aww poor Chrissie. :( That morning (all day) sickness is a bitch!!! Mickey is being a good husband and I expected no less from him. I hope it passes soon for her and she won't spend too much longer feeling bad. :)

    Damn, Valarie. Just wow. She's a real piece of work. Thinking Wolfie is supposed to bribe people to get her out of jail. I don't know why that surprises me. I loved that he brought up her kids and she still neglected to mention them. It really is all about her and only her. I feel really bad for Wolfie and Abby. They are both asking where they went wrong. :( I loved that Victor was there and that he told them they did nothing wrong. They are good parents, they love their children, all of them, equally.

    It was sweet to see all of Denny's kids there. It was good for Wolfie too. They did turn out to have much better lives thanks to Wolfie and Abby. I love that they are so appreciative of that fact. They are proof that Wolfie and Abby are great parents. All of them are on a good path now and have stable lives. Boy Gretchen's genes were strong with them. LOL They all mostly look like her. :) Something can over come those Landgrabb genes.

    Those gifts. Well Holly and Emmett always send signs so I do wonder why that potion will be needed. The boat and shark are interesting however my first thought was Jaws. LOL

    1. You are right it is all day sickness and Chrissie is having a hard time with it. Thankfully Mickey is a loving husband and he is doing his best to make her feel as comfortable as she possible can.

      Valerie is a spoiled brat and she doesn't care for anyone but herself. While she was complaining about what she didn't get she didn't look at everything she had. She complained her parents neglected her but she turns around and neglects her own children. Her children want nothing to do with her and I can't blame them. Wolfie and Abby blamed themselves but they did everything right from the beginning and Victor made sure to tell them.

      Denny's kids all turning out good is further proof that Wolfie and Abby are good parents and everyone was grateful including their mother. Out of 4 kids 3 of them look like Gretchen but Wayne does look exactly like Denny. I guess Gretchen did have stronger DNA that the Landgraabs.

      Gifts from the future are always signs or messages and we will find out soon enough what they are for.

      Thanks for reading :)

  3. Poor Chrissie so much morning, noon, and night sickness. Mickey is a good husband helping his wife out in her time of need. I knew he would. : ) So you're getting a male heir congrats! : ) Can't wait to see little Bae. So I am hoping Mickey gets the age freeze potion one day since I know from experience you can't change an imaginary friends occult state without master controller. I am really hoping that potent cure is for Dimitri and not Chrissie. It's nice seeing all four of Denny's kids together. I am glad they turned out great. Abby and Wolfie are great to all their children and grand kids. To bad Valerie is to blinded to see that. Though I am glad Wolfie brought up the subject of her two children Jackson and Mariah. It's like she never given them another thought. I am also glad her shares went to her children as it should. Valerie had loving parents, two great kids, loads of money, and three marriages that she ruined. She threw it all away. Most people would be jealous of what she had. Victor showed up right on time thankfully to reassure Abby and Wolfie that they did everything right. They were good parents and love all of their children equally. It's not their fault Valerie turned out rotten. Great chapter can't wait to see what's next. : )

    1. Chrissie is having her share of the morning sickness which will all know doesn't always hit you in the morning. Mickey is taking very good care of her and he is making her feel as comfortable as he can. We do have a male heir this time around :) We will find out about the Potent Cure as Holly did say he would know when to use it and he indeed will.

      Abby and Wolfie are wonderful parents no matter what Valerie has to say. Denny's kids and the well adjusted way that each and everyone one of them grew up is proof positive of them. Valerie is just a selfish spoiled brat who can't see beyond herself and even her own children want nothing to do with her. Victor who does live in the future and will have the ability to pop up at any time even if he is immortal knew that Abby and Wolfie needed to hear that they are excellent parents and that they did nothing wrong at all.

      Thanks for reading.

  4. Oh, it's a boy!! And I guess he'll play an important role in this story. I only hope he'll have the good character of his parents.
    I don't think Abby/Wolfie did something wrong with Valerie either. As Victor said, the parents have the power to influence the choices of their children when they are still children. But as adults, they make their own choices. the parents can try to change their mind, to show the consequences, and they both did. But Valerie made her own choice and now she's to deal with the consequences. And she obviously didn't learn a thing for she's still not only looking for an easy way out, but also blaiming others for her own mistakes. No wonder the children don't want to see her anymore...

    1. Yes for the first time since Wolfie I will have a male heir. I was actually hoping for a change this generation so I am happy to have it.

      Wolfie and Abby did nothing wrong but they were blaming themselves for everything that Valerie did. They needed to hear what Victor had to say because they are good parents. Valerie has a lot of issues to work through and all of her problem are in her mind. She really needs to look at herself and how she parents her children before placing the blame on Wolfie and Abby. She will have a long time to think about it as she is not getting out of jail anytime soon.

      Thanks for Reading :)

  5. OMG I love the toy shark. LOL.
    Wow, I really liked hearing more from Valerie. Before, it just seemed like she was loose and wanting to cause trouble, but now I know her attitude is because she has a lot of resentment built up against her parents and her siblings. I wonder if she'll be one of those prisoners who gets out and causes more trouble, she certainly seemed like she is willing to do bad things to get out of jail.
    Awww Victor is certainly making up for his lack of parenting skills that he had before, that was nice of him to visit Abby and help her out.

    1. Valerie's change and her crimes were written in another story but I knew I had to address what happened there in my story as even in real life good parents who did their best to raise their children sometimes end up with a criminal for a child. She is expecting her parents to get her off with a slap on the wrist but that is not going to happen. Victor wasnt the best parent and he was needed to be there to remind both Wolfie and Abby that they were good parents and they did everything right with all of their children. They even stood by Valerie and still love her no matter what she did.

  6. I tried commenting on this a couple of days ago but I have been having trouble. I loved this update. It was frustrating to see them visit valerie in prison, She is such a brat and even though she is loved, she can't seem to accept it. They really can't think it's their fault, everyone make their own choices.
    I'm glad all the kids got together and want to give their portion of the shares back to Wolfie's control That will eliminate that problem as far as people trying to steal their empire.
    Hopefully Chrissie's pregnancy isn't too rough. I can't wait to see what they have!

    1. Valerie is misguiding in thinking that her parents favor her siblings to her. Wolfie and Abby loved all their children the same and gave Valerie every advantage in life. Obviously she doesn't realize how lucky she really has it. Wolfie and Abby do feel guilty about Valerie and they blame themselves but they are not at fault at all. Victor who still feels guilty for the way he raised Abby made sure they realized that they were good parents. Denny's kids are more proof as to the kind of parents that Wolfie and Abby are. Those kids had a terrible start in life and two of them were already in juvie when Denny died. They all realized they owed their good upbringing to their grandparents and they wanted to correct their father mistake. Now no one can even try to take Landgraab Industries away from Wolfie ever again.

      Chrissie and Mickey are extremely happy about the baby and are very anxious for the little ones arrival.

  7. The Goodfellow kids seem to be too good, I mean which young people say money don't matter to them? And all four of then agreed? That's pretty impresive.
    Valerie needs to pay for her crimes. Getting her out when she hasn't leart her lesson would be unwise and it would only lead to more reckless behavious on her part.
    Ahhh, gifts from the future that came with a cryptic line. Can't decide if I like these or not. I like how ominous it always sounds and the excitement it causes, but I don't like that I can predict the solution when the situation arrives.

    1. Wolfie sets up huge trust funds for all of his grandchildren. The older two were saved from juvie and a life of crime and Carson was treated as if he were one of the family regardless if he had wings or not. They are just very grateful to be part of the family.

      Valerie had issues all her life with her parents and to be honest she is just a plain spoiled brat. Sadly there is nothing Wolfie could do for her even if he wanted to. Her crimes were actually committed in another story and they were so severe that she will never get out of jail.

      Not so sure if these gifts are a solution. They could be a prediction too.

  8. Aww, it seems Gretchen still tried to make up for all her bad deeds with giving her children the best after she got convicted. She could never make her bad deeds undone, but I still find it really touching.

    As for Valerie... I feel sorry for her. I couldn't blame her parents, as for sure they did everything best as they did. But somehow she got under a bad influence. The only thing she can do now, is take her punishment, and hopefully think and learn.
