His apprentice, Gabi Romano, convinced Cicero to let her open the studio in her hometown, Eternity Springs, Colorado, instead. An artist needs happiness, peace and an inspiration to be a success. As hard as he works, he hopes this studio will help bring in the money to pay for his sister's medical bills and help with the children's expenses. seven-year-old Keenan, four-year-old Galen, nine-year-old Misty and two-year-old Daisy is all he has left of Jayne.

Cicero is devastated when the Parnell's back out of fostering the children and he finds himself the sole care taker.
