There were lots of interesting things happening for the family.
Abbica was enjoying school. "Yes! One day closer to done with school!"
Or, at least, she was making the best of it.
Alfonso had been elected into public office and had left his business career behind. This meant that Zheena had instant options for another baby daddy from Alfonso's former co-workers to get her closer to completing the career cluster while Alfonso himself would count for the political career.
In the meantime,
it was confirmed that Zheena was pregnant with baby number three,
and the current baby
became a toddler...who doesn't wear a shirt with her jammies."Ugh, daddy! Put some clothes on,"
groaned a sleepy Abbica, "and put some clothes on Hildy, too!"
And while "Daddy" was at work the next day, Brynhildr's actual father came by for a visit.
Hildy thought the stranger seemed very nice and snuggled right up to him.
Zheena took advantage of the opportunity to do some mother-daughter bonding time with Abbica and added purple highlights to her favorite daughter's hair.The next day, Zheena went out with her beloved Akoni.
The merman's in the background while Zheena is getting to know Teodor. He's a fellow she met through the on-line dating service."You're even prettier than your picture,"
he informed her."Yes, I am,"
she agreed, "and you're...fluffier...?"
The three of them enjoyed a lovely (and slightly awkward) afternoon together.
One of the other residents to pass by the restaurant while Zheena had her outing was Ashley Alto. She is Alfonso's daughter from a previous relationship. And she's a mermaid. 
It suddenly makes more sense why he takes such good care of Abbica.Finally, Zheena's big day arrived.
She was overcome with joy for the new baby she'd bring into the world."I'll be so happy to get rid of these ridiculous maternity clothes and wear something stylish again!"
And with that joyous thought, the new baby was born.
"I will call you, Cassidy,"
she told the baby."Why are you calling her that?"
asked Alfonso."Because it's her name,"
she informed him.
And with an imminent age up for Brynhildr, they bought bunk beds."Dibs on the top bunk!"
called Abbica, as she ascended to her seat of power.
And in another room, Zheena started deciding who will father baby number four...
