The Smith Avenue - chapter 5.
After Victoria was born, many things have changed. She was departed to Pleasantview with Demi, safely put into hands better than Jill and Tarius'. Even though she was first and foremost a genetic experiment, nor Jill nor Tarius couldn't help but to feel sad they had to let her go. Five minutes in Jill's arms and she was her own. Little pale skinned baby that had so much in her. And she was named Victoria after the victory they were supposed to take. She was their triumph.

Venee simply smiled and offered comforting gaze.
"I know. And she knows.This was the best thing to do."
And the life moved on. Tarius entered a stable relationship with Crystal and Jill found happiness with Ripp, as much as it was possible, anyways. She even proposed to him, knowing they had only so little time left...
