Hunter's La Femme Family

Sugah stood outside of the new building that was to be her home, deep in thought.

She thought to a time 10 years ago.



She lived in a beautiful modest house in the valley. She lived there with Momma Louise.



Momma Louise was the kindest, most generous woman she'd ever met.

And she also lived there with 5 foster sisters.





In a house that was just filled with love.

Momma Louise had brought them all home from the Foster Care Center. Sugah and Ulli, 15. Hunter 13. And Elle, Ari and Em - all 10.

She was suddenly brought back to present day by her Foster Sister, Hunter.



They hugged immediately, even though they'd seen each other several times over the past several weeks.

"This is going to be an adventure." Hunter said, sending Sugah back into her decade old thought.



They were all so happy with Momma Louise. And they all loved eachother immensely. Closer than some blood sisters.





The older girls would often help Momma Louise take care of their younger siblings.



And Sugah remembered the bond she shared with Momma Louise. She remembered laying in her bed one day talking with Momma Louise. Thinking back, she realized that Momma Louise was prophecizing what was to come.

Momma Louise made her promise to always stay close with all of the girls no matter what happened. Made her promise to see that they all succeeded as she would she them do.

She'd come home from school one day to find Momma Louise crumpled on the floor.



"Momma!" Sugah cried out.



Momma Louise took Sugah's hand and made her promise again, "Sugah - you keep you girls together as long as you can. No matter what happens, you six always stay in touch. You are all eachother's touch stones. Promise me."



Sugah was brought back to the present by Ulli.



After Momma Louise had her attack and was taken to the hospital, she died shortly after. The six girls were devestated enough by the loss of their beloved Momma Louise, but devestated even more by their separation. The Foster Care system moved them all to different homes as there wasn't a demand for any foster parents wanting six children.

They did stay in touch, but saw eachother rarely. They graduated from school, and moved on with their lives - but talked, texted and Skyped often.

Sugah, Hunter and Ulli decided during lunch one day - that they all needed to be together again. None of them were in serious relationships, none of them had children and none of them had jobs they couldn't leave. What they also didn't have was a lot of money. The elder sisters decided if they pooled their money - and lived together - they'd all be able to help eachother meet their goals. They'd live out Momma Louise's wish.

Sugah, Hunter and Ulli found an old warehouse, who's lot recently was approved for Residential Zoning. The warehouse was only $44,000 and that was just about what the 6 of them had together. They bought the place on the spot, not wanting to lose it - but also without the three younger siblings seeing it.

Their initial reaction when they arrived, was not what the older siblings had hoped for.

Sugah, Ulli and Hunter thought they'd give a little tour of the new abode.











"I see a lot of potential - don't you?" Sugah asks.


"Lots of land for Ulli to landscape." She continues.


"An outbuilding that could maybe be a gym or a media room." Hunter adds.


"So we're confined to the white room for now - just think with a little time, money and vision - we could have ourselves quite the abode." Sugah finishes.


"Does that mean you guys disagree?" Hunter asks the three younger siblings.


"Come on, " says Hunter. "Give me a hug. Let's focus on the positive."


The hug fest and reunion begins. Everyone decides that they're just happy to be together again. It will be an adventure. (Em might take a little more convincing. )


First things first, Ulli starts looking for a job. Times are tough, and Ulli finds nothing in today's paper that she feels qualified for or interested in. "I'll get a good night's sleep.......well I'll try in our recliners, and look again tomorrow."


Ari has better luck finding a job in the gaming career.


Reality strikes Em. "What have we done? We're living in a dilapidated building with 6 recliners, one working toilet in the dirtiest bathroom I've ever seen and no roof over our head."


"Think about Momma Louise." Ulli says. "We're together. We got eachother - that's a lot more than a lot of other people have. We'll make it Em."


Em thinks back to the days when Ulli and the others would comfort her. "You're right Ulli - we will be all right."
