Create a Family (CAF) With a Twist

Warning for mentions of toxic relationships and affairs.

[name_f]Adara[/name_f] “ [name_f]Addie[/name_f] ” [name_f]Wendy[/name_f] [Burkitt] Ashton-Burkitt (25) is Lux’s wife and Aviva’s good family friend, loving the fact they both have A names. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] has been a fan of true crime since she was 14 but she’s found a better appreciation since meeting [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] and learning through her career in investigative journalism. She definitely understands why it would be best for [name_m]Colton[/name_m] to be at least 16 to get the full understanding and although [name_f]Addie[/name_f] was a fan of true crime 2 years younger, she didn’t get into graphic details at the time and even today she still fears graphic content. She’s a calm person despite her interests and adores art, specifically oil painting. Getting her art into local galleries is her dream and she’s taking lots of pride that it’s happened. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] is getting into good old pencil sketches as well and has a book of sketches. She and [name_u]Lux[/name_u] are the mothers of [name_u]Sea[/name_u] and while [name_u]Sea[/name_u] hasn’t yet differentiated what to call her mothers, [name_f]Addie[/name_f] is deciding she’s going by “Ma” when [name_u]Sea[/name_u] grows up.

She knows the least about [name_f]Kia[/name_f] but she knows from [name_u]Lux[/name_u] that [name_f]Kia[/name_f] was in a toxic former relationship and hasn’t been the same since. She’s comforted [name_u]Lux[/name_u] regarding her worries that [name_f]Kia[/name_f] will always come off agitated and never form true bonds and [name_f]Addie[/name_f] believes [name_f]Kia[/name_f] is not like that. [name_f]Kia[/name_f] has a best friend who has always been there for her thick and thin and can personally vouch for [name_f]Kia[/name_f] that she’s not a terrible person. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] knows [name_m]Urmas[/name_m] isn’t mad and just disappointed that he’s never gotten answers on why [name_f]Kia[/name_f] “hates” him and questioned how long she felt that. She’s glad [name_f]Kia[/name_f] and her ex have never had children together unlike her older brother who was in a toxic relationship of his own. He had a controlling girlfriend who forced him to stay when she revealed she was pregnant and he needed to be there for the child. He had been away from her from some time and there weren’t any moments where they could’ve conceived in that time so he was confused but she showed a positive pregnancy test. She yelled at him for not believing her and demanded he be an active father. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] told him that he shouldn’t stay with her and that she’s just trying to baby trap him. When the baby was only a few weeks old, he noticed the baby didn’t have any of his features. As it turned out on a paternity test, it wasn’t even his child! She conceived a child from a different father while he was away from her and tried to pose it as his child! The court ruled that he didn’t have to pay child support for a child who isn’t his and she was unfit to parent, so the child was put up for adoption and is in a loving family. Addie’s brother was inspired by how the court respected him and now he’s in law school. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] is grateful [name_u]Lux[/name_u] has been there for her the whole time when she navigating her brother’s hardships and it’s made [name_f]Addie[/name_f] and her brother stronger people because of [name_u]Lux[/name_u]. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] adores Lux’s career as a women’s charity PA and has made special oil paintings to auction off to support the charity.

[name_f]Addie[/name_f] still adores pregnancy and finds it beautiful, provided it’s not used for toxic purposes. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] has even made some sketches of the beauty behind pregnancy. She’s excited for [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] to welcome a new child and she’s hoping [name_m]Colton[/name_m] can adjust to a change of having a new sibling. Since [name_f]Addie[/name_f] is the younger sibling between her and her brother, she doesn’t personally know how it is for [name_m]Colton[/name_m] since she’s never been an only child at any point in her life. Addie’s older brother says he didn’t like being an only child before [name_f]Addie[/name_f] was born and says he’s happy to have a new sibling. There’s an old video Addie’s parents keep of them telling him that he’s about to have a new sibling in a few months and him cheering and being happy that he’s not alone. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] and her brother have a smaller age difference than [name_m]Colton[/name_m] and his sibling-to-be so [name_f]Addie[/name_f] knows it will be different. She wonders if [name_m]Colton[/name_m] is used to being an only child or if he’s tired of it and she knows he will come around to having another sibling but she’s still curious about what goes on in the minds of children. [name_f]Addie[/name_f] loves raising [name_u]Sea[/name_u] and is always there for her and her problems and she never wants to act like children don’t have problems just because their problems are different from adult problems.
