"I'm sorry Mom chewed you out like that" Nancy said to her Dad-Mom after dinner outside on the patio.
The large tree in their backyard that the two Tullio women were facing was now almost completely barren of leaves. They watched as the final leaf flutteed helplessly to the ground.
"Ooh, that was the last one. Bye, Mr Leaf" Savannah said absentmindedly, which Nancy giggled at.
"I'm a big girl, I can take being chewed out" Savannah replied.
"Well you shouldn't! You deserve so much better than Mom. I hope this Katerina lady you told us about is amazing."
"She is pretty great" Savannah said enigmatically.
"And you were right. None of us would be anywhere close to where we are today without you. You provided everything for us growing up. Mom and Emily should be more grateful."
"Honey, really, it's OK, I don't mind. Your Mom has every right to be mad at me."
"Well I don't think so" Nancy huffed. "I think that she's being really unfair towards you."
"Nancy, your mother is an amazing person, she wouldn't be angry at me if she didn't have a very good reason. I tried my best to provide for you all, but you wouldn't even be alive without your mom. If you really care about me, please don't hate her."
"I don't hate Mom, I just... get frustrated. She's sooooo stubborn. I've had so many arguments about you with her since you've been gone, you wouldn't even believe how many. I only stopped once it started making Hermione upset."
"Well at least I know one thing."
"What's that?" Nancy asked.
"If you're willing to go to bat for someone as schmucky as me, you're probably an amazing defense attorney."
"I'm not bad" Nancy giggled. She twirled her hair around her finger, a habit that she had had since she was a little girl.
She had worked really hard in school to get where she was, but Nancy still enjoyed hearing compliments about herself.
Despite being a fully grown adult, Nancy reached over and hugged Savannah the way she always had since she had been a child.
Savannah tried to ignore the feeling of Nancy's bigger than average boobs pressing into her own. Despite all of the craziness that Savannah was used to, her little girl having long since gone through puberty and having breasts was too much for the Dad part of her mind to handle.
"I've missed you so much. Never leave for that long again."
"Oh, I have a feeling that we'll be seeing each other a lot more often from now on, Nancy. Listen. This is going to sound crazy at first, but..."
Before Savannah could tell her daughter her dark secret, Hermione came out and gave Savannah and Nancy some cake.

Aziza hugged Nora and Mrs Nolan goodbye, thanking them for their hospitality, and left hand in hand out the door with Tom.
Nora, who watched her savior leave their home with something close to religious awe, closed the door and excitedly told her mom about how she'd finally be able to sleep on her back for the first time since the party.
Mrs Nolan smiled, so happy for Nora, and she thanked God that her prayers had finally been answered.
"Want to come to my place?" Tom asked Aziza once they were out of earshot.
"I thought you'd never ask" Aziza said with a grin.
Once Tom had dropped the two of them off, he gave his new...(Friend? Companion? Lover?) a tour of his house.
"Very nice" Aziza said with a Borat accent, giving a thumbs up.
Tom laughed.
"You're so goofy. I love it."
Tom took his shirt off, revealing his six pack.
"*Very* nice" Aziza continued with the silly voice.
"Ready for round two of a romp in the hay?"
Aziza took off her top and freed her breasts.
She jumped on top of him.
