Ian and his wife Debbie walked to his sister Amarilis' house. He had been invited over for dinner and did not know how it was going to go. He had talked to her since he left the house but still it was akward between them. Debbie was amazed at the size of her sister-in-laws house and could not believe that they lived in such a big place.
Amarilis saw them through the window and came out to greet them and invite them inside.
Amarilis loved having family over. She wanted her children to know her brothers and sisters. Amazingly dinner went along smoothly. Even Meadow arrived from work happy to see that her in laws were there visiting.

A few days later Consuelo came by to visit her triplet sister Amarilis. Consuelo needed to get somethings off her chest and felt only her older sister could listen to her without judgement.
Consuelo had explained her ordeal she had been going through. Amarilis could not belive half of the stuff she was hearing. Amarilis was shocked to know that Consuelo and Maura were getting divorced. No matter what Amarilis knew that she had to be supportive. She didnt know how she was going to tell her mom but she had to be supportive. Consuelo cried her eyes out and Amarilis could do nothing but hold her.
" I really tried but Maura does not see our financial troubles. She even wanted to put the kids in private school. I think not. Come on I want them to go to private school but we cant afford it. Im drowning and I felt that Maura put more water in the glass instead of giving me a helping hand. We could not even afford the house payments any more. The judge ordered the kids with me for now and Maura wants to go ahead and leave Viramontes. What am I to do?"
Amarilis just sat there and listened to her sister.
After Consuelo let everything out she said she had to go and get the kids from the house. They were selling it and she was ready for this to be over. Amarilis hugged Consuelo and told her that everything was going to be alright. She wanted to have or at least give Consuelo the option to move in with her but she knew that was impossible. With Consuelo having eight kids which were two sets of quads, it was hard for them to live in one house.

It was time to celebrate both the twins birthday and their little brother Arthurs birthday. Amarilis invited her family over to the impromptu brithday party. This was the first time her brother Oscar came to visit and he really liked the house. He was amazed how much space Amarilis had. For now Amarilis liked the spacious area but she might move one day if need be.
Her mother Maria-Celeste could not resist the ever persistent speech of how Amarilis should marry Meadow. No matter what they said Amarilis and Meadow knew they were in love with each other and would get married when the time was right. For now they had three children together and their priority was to raise these children. Marriage was the last thing on their minds.
Here is Amarilis holding Arthur. It always amazed Amarilis how her kids had her mother's red hair. She herself had her dad's black hair.
Here's a screen shot of the birthday parties. Everyone was happy to come over and spend some time together. Almost the whole Barillas clan is present minus the babies and toddlers. Amarilis was happy to see that both Consuelo and Maura showed up at the party. Although they arrived in separate cars, Consuelo and Maura managed to be civil. Not everyone knew that the divorce was already processed.
Here are the Twins all grown up. On the left is Isabel and on the right is Aaron.

Throughout the whole dinner Amarilis and Meadow were happy to see how their family was doing. After dinner two exhausted people sat on the couch. Meadow thought to herself how far they both had come since they started dating waaay back in high school. Amarilis on the other hand thanked the stars for the love of her life Meadow and her children.
