Austin and Estelle were excited because for them all of their children were doing OK. For the lasts few years Austin grew the bug to have a garden. For the first time this year he has seen some good come from his plants. Even Estelle has invested time in their garden. The good news is that Austin received $48,000 as a bonus from work. He could not believe it when being a rock god he got that bonus. The Dominguez family decided to go ahead and fix somethings at home. They were discussing changing the siding outside when their daughter Africa came by to visit. Austin still could not believe that they were grandparents to Africa's babies. Even so Africa could bring the kids out yet. No need to worry the minute that the babies were good they would go and visit them.

with the bonus both Austin and Estelle decided to redo their 1st floor. Instead of the yellow and orange they decided to do purple this time. Estelle was amazed at her new living room. She always wondered if they would be able to live without financial problems. As it turns out she was right..they both managed to get pass their many years of problems and wind up here.

the best remodel was their kitchen. Gone were the pastel yellow and her was the nice turquoise that she was dying to have in her house. Austin liked the new kitchen and living room and wondered if they were going to do the dining room. For now they decided to leave the living room as it was. They both thought that it would be best to save the money since Ariel would be going to college soon.

Africa came a few days later to talk about Suki's wedding plans. Austin still could not get over the idea that Suki was getting married. No matter how many daughters he had it still hurt him to let one go.

Estelle looked around and loved being surrounded by her daughters. Sure there was a rough patch between her and Africa but they managed to get through it. Now it seemed that everyone was getting along. Atani came up with a lot of ideas for the wedding. the worst when Africa asked if there was going to be a stripper and if so could it be a police officer. Asia just stared at her sister she was so embarrassed that Africa said that. All in all the meeting was a success and Suki was happy that her wedding was being planned.

While everyone was busy with Suki's wedding Ariel herself was busy meeting people. She met Frances J whom she really ...really liked. They met through the college exchange program. Now that she was a sophmore she needed to decide if she was going to college. She saw Frances' profile and it was total attraction. For Frances being a freshman he was just being a nice guy but when he saw Ariel he must admit that she was a beauty... A beauty that could not be touched.

They were talking for a while and did not notice that time passed by. The next thing they knew Austin had arrived from work. Austin looked at this guy talking to his daughter and imediately wanted to know who he was and worse why was he here. Ariel introuded Frances to austin and Austin immediately said goodbye. Austin was disappointed in Ariel being out so late without supervision. Austin thought to himself, "here we go again." Again he had to start with the teenage dating. He had to count himself lucky that he really didnt have to deal with this with his other children. Somehow with Ariel everything was different. They were in a different income bracket. He wondered if he should just enroll her in private school. Yes maybe that was the answer. He would talk to Estelle and get her take on it.


The next morning Austin decided to talk about the incident. Estelle just looked at her husband and wondered what in the world was wrong with him. Ariel was a growing young lady. True she needed to cool it with the late night talks but at the same time she was allowed to have friends.

"Honey, I think what your father is trying to say is that your friend may come to visit but only during regular hours. There is no need for you to go out on our front stoop when you can have your friends over and see them in the living room."

"Mom, I know but it was on a whim. Dad is overreacting I am not trying to even date him. Remember that I am to choose a college and he so happens to be on the college exchange program. Dont worry."

Austin looked at them and wondered if they were just gaining up against him. "alright we will try what your mother says. No boys after 10pm. Another thing I will take some vacation off so that we can spend it together."

"Great" responded Ariel.

As promised, Austin took some vacation and decided to lay out on his new pool area. It was awesome to know that he would now be able to rest and enjoy the sunshine. Finally he thought to himself he was at peace in his home. He was getting along with Estelle and most of all he was happy all around.
