It had been an emotional week for us. Luther and Fauna had graduated this month, alongside Talia. The three of them would be joining the others at the university in the fall. For the time being though, we were getting ready to go on a family trip. One that was long overdue.
We had traveled a lot with the kids, all eight of them, but we hadn't taken most of the kids to the castle in Germany. Luka, Levi, Alyssa, and Alexa had all gone when they were younger, but somehow, it just hadn't come up with the others as time moved on. And they had not been there to see the place that Dietrich had lived for so long. The place where Dietrich and I had spent the majority of our pregnancies all those years ago.
I was a little sad that the older ones weren't coming with us, but they had a lot of work that they wanted to get done.
"We're going to be training with Reagan and Rika." Luka had told us when we planned the trip.
