A few days later. In the Facility.
The blood transfusion between Antonia and the four kids has been completed. Today is the relocation day. Jessy was excited about Antonia and the kids.
After here break time from the clinic, she went to the room where the woman and her ward were waiting for her. Jessy will personally accompany them in the Habitat to see their new home.
She opened the door delighted to see Antonia and the kids smiling brightly at her. "Ready to go to your new home, kids?" she asked.
"Yesssssss... were ready!" they answered in unison.
Jessy went to Antonia's side. "How are you? How does it feel being human?" she asked.
Antonia was all smile. "I guess it's good, I no longer craved human blood and I can finally live side by side with humans and able to live the way they live. The human foods taste delicious too! I'm excited about the bright future waiting ahead for the children!" she answered.
"Okay, that's good! Let's go now to the Habitat. Kids, follow me!" Jessy said, smiling at the children.
They followed Jessy holding their bags of clothing in their hands.
They went to the tunnel that linked the Habitat and the Facility. A few minutes later, they reached the end of the tunnel, which opened up inside a room leading them to the conference room.
Jessy brought them inside the 25 square meter room, with five bunk beds, a closet, a bathroom, a kitchenette, a sofa bed, a small verandah with a nice view of the pool area.
The kids were loving their new residence because everything was new, clean and shiny, they opened the glass door leading to the veranda and stared excitedly at the pool area were some of the kids can be seen bathing and playing in the water slide, the children's faces were filled with amazement.

Antonia was roaming her eyes around her new surroundings. Her smile shows that she was satisfied with their new abode. It looks ten times better than the tiny room inside the Facility. From where she was standing she can see the sun shining brightly outside.
The room although lacking in space... yet the lively and welcoming atmosphere makes up for it, it will be their home sweet home from now on.
Jessy examined Antonia's face. "Do you like this room, Antonia?" she asked.
"Yes! Very much! I can't ask for more!" Antonia nodded her head in gladness, tears of gratitude were forming in her eyes, she felt grateful for the new life that was given to them.
Antonia hugged Jessy tightly and cried in the younger woman's shoulder. Jessy rubbed the woman's back trying to make her stop crying.
She waited for the older woman to finish crying.
"I'm sorry I was not able to stop my tears from falling, it's tears of happiness and gladness," Antonia explained after a while.
Jessy smiled at the older woman. "It's okay, no big deal. If you need a shoulder to cry on, look for me," she said trying to comfort the woman and offer her friendly support. She was a bit luckier because she has her parents and Adam to talk to, Antonia, on the other hand, is going solo raising five kids on her own and that is a very difficult situation to tackle daily.
She called out for the children. "Okay kids, let's finish the tour, there's still a lot of amenities that we need to explore in this residential complex called Habitat..."
They exited the room and proceed to the outside... they passed the pool area, the basketball and tennis area, then they went to the mini-park.
They strolled towards the inner part of the park, the children's face was awestruck, they can now walk under the glare of the sun, in their previous life being a vampire, it's one thing they cannot do.

"Hooray! I can finally walk under the mighty sun!" one of the boys said.
"Wow! This is amazing!" the children shouted in glee.
"Let's go climb the trees!" suggested one of the boys.
"Not today, boys!" Antonia reprimanded them.
Jessy saw Granny Alicia sitting alone in the bench under the shade of the tree, her all-time favorite spot in the mini-park.
She walked towards the old woman, the kids and Antonia was following her from behind.
Once she reached Alicia's side she introduces the old woman to her companions. "Okay girls and boys, I want to introduce you Granny Alicia, my friend..."
"Granny Alicia I would like you to meet Antonia and her five adopted kids... children say hello to Granny Alicia!" she said.
The children looked at the old woman and smiled their brightest smile. "Hello, Granny, nice meeting you!"
Alicia returns their smile. "Hello, kids...Hello, Antonia...nice meeting you all!"
The kids were getting restless...they ask Antonia to accompany them towards the end of the park...Antonia humored them.
Jessy and Alicia were left alone on the bench.
"Is that all her children?" Alicia asked.
"No. Those children are spoils of war. They were orphaned, Antonia got a big heart and was kind enough in adopting them all and stand as their mother. So, I kind of take pity of their sad and pitiful flight and become their benefactor," Jessy explained.
Alicia nodded her head liking what he heard from the girl. "Antonia is a good woman and so are you, that put me into shame, when I'm still in my prime all I care about is following my dreams, exploring the world and chasing hot vampire hunk. That's all I care about. I have no real sympathy for others, I don't care about others, that is who I am. You girls are beyond extraordinary...I'm truly impressed!"
Jessy smiled. "How about now, Granny? It's not too late yet to start caring for others. Antonia surely needed an extra hand to guide and nurture the children, your presence in their lives is very much welcome!"
"Huh? Me—?" Alicia pointed at herself. "What can this old hag do to improve the lives of those children?" she was already thinking of herself as a useless old woman no longer useful for everyone.
Jessy smiled and wrapped her arms affectionately around the old woman.
"Granny...if you have some free time and nothing to do, you can befriend the children and tell them stories about your escapades during your younger years. Everyone need's a friend, please start caring for others so that someone will care for you. It's a win-win situation, you will have an instant daughter in the presence of Antonia and then you will have instant grandchildren. Isn't that a lively and much more fulfilling life to live than living alone on your own? Just think about it...okay?"
Jessy stood up when the children and Antonia were approaching them. She hugged the older woman, which brought fresh tears on Alicia's eyes, she was deeply touched by the younger woman's genuine affection.
"Take care of yourself, Granny! See you around!" Jessy said.
"Bye-bye... Granny... see you around!" Antonia and the kids waved goodbye at the older woman.
Granny Alicia was left alone on her own, sitting on the bench, wiping the tears from her eyes.
The young woman teaches her a valuable life lesson today... that... it's never too late to start caring for others.
