You are 17 years old. You have fallen in love with a man named [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], who is 21. He is a widow with a newborn (3 week old) daughter named [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. You know him from your neighbourhood. You love the baby as if she’s your own. Your name is [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_m]Johnson[/name_m].
3 years pass. You are now 20 years old. You have married the man and you find yourself pregnant shortly within that time. Your step-daughter taps you on the shoulder one day when you’re nine months pregnant and says “mommy are you going to love me as much after the baby is born and will you love me as much as the baby.” You reassure her that of course you will!
That night you go into labour at 8:15. There is no time to get you to the hospital so you deliver the baby right were you are. You and your husband had been under the assumption that you were going to have a boy but upon the child’s birth you discover the baby was a girl. Later in the hospital you introduce your step-daughter (now officially your adopted daughter) to her new sister. She is delighted and wants to hold the baby. The child is healthy and strong. Your step-daughter comes up with the name and you name her [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m].
4 years pass. You discover your daughter is very gifted in the area of art, and she has a very unique spiritual gift which is an affinity with animals. It is clear to you that she is special. Your older one is very gifted in 2 areas; creative writing and drama.
You find out your pregnant again. This time you do have a boy. You name him [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. But the labour still continues. Apparently there is a second baby, a girl. You name her [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m].
Your oldest child is very well behaved. Your second child is ‘perfect’. Your third child is fairly well behaved most of the time too. You’re having trouble with your youngest and one day after an argument with her she reveals that she feels you love her sisters and brother more then her. [name_m]How[/name_m] do you react to that after realizing you have been a bit too hard on her? Your second child comforts her younger sister and explains that while she might be special your youngest one is special too. After all nobody can sing like her. You quietly praise your child for comforting her sister. You’re still having some behavioural problems with your youngest one. She has 3 issues which are sitting down to the family evening meal, brushing her teeth before bed, and psychically hitting out when frustrated or angry. You decide to try a reward system so you have her write down her 5 favourite rewards and for every day she doesn’t go through the behaviour problems you will reward her with one of them. She choses; her karaoke machine, 1-on-1 time with you, chocolate pudding, bedtime lullabies, and fizzy drinks. After 8months and 3 weeks, you find that her behavioural problems aren’t there anymore.
Your first child goes to college years later. She decides to attend a local college studying creative writing and film studies with the long term goal to be within the movie industry.
Your second child doesn’t go to college but instead goes to a missionary program. We are all very pleased that she has decided to use her empathy with animals to go to South [name_u]America[/name_u] and get stuck in with the conservation project over there.
The twins go to college years later. [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] goes to one, further afield, to become a doctor. While completely cured of her childhood issues, [name_f]Willow[/name_f] decides to stay close to home and become a teacher.
Now [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] is 23 and starting a career as a Broadway playwright. She gets married to [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] Broat, who she met at the threatre, he is an performer, and she has 3 children. The first is a girl. The other two are boys. [name_u]Ash[/name_u] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] name them; [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_u]Scout[/name_u] Broat, [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Rock[/name_m] Broat, and [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_m]Kole[/name_m] Broat.
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] spends fifteen years working around South [name_u]America[/name_u] in which time she meets and marries fellow conservationist, [name_m]Wells[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Cooper[/name_m], originally from [name_m]New[/name_m] Zealand. They have an informal union in Suriname, which they renew once back in [name_f]England[/name_f]. They have twins which are named; [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] [name_m]Bravery[/name_m] [name_m]Cooper[/name_m] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_u]Truth[/name_u] [name_m]Cooper[/name_m].
Whilst studying for his doctorate, [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] has a fling with a young woman named [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] [name_u]Page[/name_u], she gets pregnant with a daughter named [name_f]Bella[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]-[name_u]Page[/name_u], [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] and [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] do not remain together but arrangements are made for [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] to spend an equal amount of time with his daughter as her mother and have a solid 50% responsibility for her. Years later [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] falls in love with [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_u]River[/name_u], they marry and have a son and daughter; [name_m]Tennyson[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] [name_f]Bryony[/name_f] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m].
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] becomes a successful primary school teacher, a vocation which she is in love with. In her late twenties she is still single and decides to adopt a young girl with the name [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f]. Years later [name_f]Willow[/name_f] finds herself unexpectedly in love with [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Merrick[/name_m], the single father of a former pupil in her class. [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] is the sole guardian of his two children; [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_m]Merrick[/name_m] and [name_u]Kimberly[/name_u] [name_f]Amaya[/name_f] [name_m]Merrick[/name_m].
