By Friday, the Hank family had sort of adjusted to the idea of Dawn being Lawrence's daughter, and were now back again to focusing on his death than on his misdeed.
Of course they had no choice than to adjust to the idea of Dawn being a part of the family seeing how much ruckus Tom's public statement had caused all over the internet.
Just as Lucy had expected, Dawn had become one of the most searched topic on the internet from the moment the statement was released, and even though the Hank family didn't like it, they had left it up to Kimberly and her parents to clean up the mess they had created for the kid.
Although, they were still not all that comfortable with having Dawn around, but Evelyn and Jade had better adjusted to it, and Tom and Bryan had no choice since Lucy and Sonia kept bringing the kid to them.
Desmond on the other hand completely kept his distance. Not necessarily because he had anything against the kid, but he just wasn't himself.
Thanks for all the well wishes and your patience. I and my little star are doing great. Her name is Nicole.
