For a fresh start, Leah moved into her new house, and the daughters asked Jayden if he thought they’ll “get siblings later on,” and Jayden replied positively .

However, Leah was not pleased with the response. She later told Jayden that they should have discussed the issue privately before talking to the kids about it. She even revealed that she does not want to have more kids in the future.

Even Cheyenne and Zach moved into a new house for a fresh start after the shooting incident. Speaking about the incident, Cheyenne said:

"I feel like he didn’t kill us, but he took so much from us. I don’t get why we have to go through that. I don’t get why the kids have to go through that.”
