She had gone before the Senate hearing and given her speech and received a standing ovation. There had been talk in the press and on Capitol Hill for up to three months later about the importance of big changes needing to be made, but nothing ever came of it. Apparently money does talk louder than seeing that the right thing gets done. At least that was the case in Washington DC.
The Agency released a soft version of the technology that Kevin had developed, but it didn't sell it to any government instead it made the upgrade affordable at a ridiculously low price and put it on the open market for everyone to share.
Even at the low price set for it, the system software had already generated billions of dollars, as it represented a quantum shift in technology. To a dime the agency had sunk the money into her autism awareness and treatment foundation and others like it. Autism not only had a voice now, but now it had the money to back it up.

Anna had gotten her wish for warmth too. Nikolai had set up a gorgeous house for them just outside Melbourne in Australia and they had been here for several months already and soon their little family would increase by one.
Life had been so hard for so long, but knowing now what she did she would gladly suffer all through it again just to be here in this moment and the many that she'd already had just like it. The show was about to start and she felt her husband's warm arm settle across her shoulders as his fingers began the play with her hair.
He had kind of half turned to her in his seat and his other hand was now splayed out fingers wide on her belly. His complete focus was on her and not on the show that had started. She felt tears slide down her cheeks as she glanced into his eyes in the darkened theater.
"Happy?" He asked softly.
Beyond any words could express was her one thought and he seemed to sense her answer.
"Me too!" He said and then he kissed her and she him and Kevin smiled, as he watched them knowing that everything was going well in his world, because of his parent's love for each other and the Great Creator who had given him to them to raise.
