It was three years after Alishta died when Melvin met one of his followers and fans, a young science teacher, Maxine Allenwood, who had just started working as biology teacher in Master High School; he was from the beginning strongly attracted to the educator, and after few dates, she became his girlfriend, one year later he proposed, and they married with some objection of Maxine’s father, who didn’t totally approve her marriage with an African American man, and a musician, who, in the view of a Caucasian father, wasn’t good enough for her daughter. Maxine, on the other hand, didn’t care much, she was an open minded girl, who had always an open sexuality and knew that Melvin has his own “weakness” and accepted him for who he was; Maxine quickly made friends with Katherine, who started attending her school, since long before she married Melvin, and at the same time, Katherine felt protected and taken care by the young teacher; after six months of being married, Maxine got pregnant and the next year she gave birth a boy who they called Marcus, and one year later they brought to this world a girl who they named Elizabeth; Katherine was very enthralled with her new siblings, initially with the boy, who she pampered and took with her everywhere, but when her sister was born, Katherine was even more captivated by the little whiter girl with her hair and eyes similar to Katherine’s, while Marcus had her same skin color, the boy has green- bluish eyes.

The children grew and while Katherine showed to be a straight girl, Maxine and Melvin noticed that the other two children showed strong attraction for friends of their same-sex; whereas Marcus was shy and reserved about his relationship with boys, Bette, on the contrary, was bold and confident. As the years passed, Katherine grew to inherit her father’s love for music and she initially became a member of his group as a singer, but Katherine did so well that Melvin decided that her daughter was more than good enough to succeed as a solo singer, and he did everything he could to get her the best future in the music field; Marcus also loved music, he wanted to perform, not along with his father, as his older sister, but by himself, he had the feeling his father wasn’t very happy with him, because his old man was affectionate with his daughters but not much with him, his mother, on the contrary was always pampering and taking care of him, years later when Marcus became a musician he adopted his mother last name as a singer, being known as Marcus Allenwood, which of course estranged him more and more from his father.
