Baby 24-Reunion

Once again, it was time for birthdays here in the Trish household. I aged my cute little toddlers first, because I was anxious to see the turn-outs. Obviously they were pretty close in appearance, and just as that, they were also close in personality. They were instantly best friends, and nearly inseparable.

Elena, Lauren, and Brianne, however, are a different story. They each have the same facial structure, but their eyes and hair are so different. I'd say they're pretty close, but they still have their rivalries. Girls will be girls, am I right?

"Good morning, love," I said to Ria before planting a kiss on her forehead. She smiled up at me, glancing me over and giggling. "What?" I asked her.

"Mom, that outfit. . . It's so not you. You can't pull it off." I frowned.

"Why? Does it make me look fat or something?" I asked, consciously looking down at my clothes. She never answered me, though.

"Well I think you look beautiful," Alex said.

"At least there's you," I said, teasingly. He chuckled.

"I've missed you, Mom," Mara told me mother.

"I've missed you too. I'm so glad that Jason was able to get you to come away from that place," I said.

"Me too. I had no idea Dad and Lee had plotted such an evil and cruel scheme."

"Alls well that ends well. Let's leave it behind us. We have plenty of time to catch up," I said.

From behind we heard a rather obnoxious thump on the concrete floor. We turned around to see Janna lying on the floor, asleep.

Me, feeling motherly, gathered my granddaughter up and hugged her before checking for any injuries. After seeing none, I made sure Janna got to bed.

"Hello?" I answered my phone.

"Salline?"

"Yes?"

"We need your help," Addy said before she explained her and Dawn's problem.

"I'll do it," I confirmed them. (Read here) It was sad that I didn't get to spend the rest of my day with Mara, Marri, and Janna, but my friends needed me and the rest of them would still be here when I got back. I sighed and looked around. Where was Mara? I needed to let her know that I would be going.

"Oh! I, uh," I mumbled, shocked at the scene before me. The couple scattered apart from each other, and turned to face me. Mara spoke first.

"Mom, um. This-this isn't what it looks like," she said.

"Oh, I think this is exactly what it looks like!"

"Mrs. Trish," Jason said, "it is true. I like your daughter, a lot. I love her so much. I'm so honored that you allowed me to meet your daughter. And I was wondering . . . Can I have your blessing?"

"I-I.. Yes, of course. Um, anyways, I have to go to Bridgeport for a couple days. I'll be back soon," I said.

After getting back from my VERY NERVE-WRACKING adventure (read here), I continued my challenge. Then, after I was home, I ran straight to Alex and hugged him. I was so glad that I had someone as great as him in my life. Plus I missed him. I shuddered a little as I first hugged him. Being a vampire had made me feel a bit odd, but eventually I settled back into my old self.

I checked on the kids afterwards. They all seemed to be fine, having fun, except for a few bad slides by Ria and Ryse. I smiled and walked back into the house to prepare dinner.

After dinner, we all sat down to watch a movie. TOGETHER! Isn't it amazing?

Nearly all of the pregnancy seemed to go as smoothly as today did, and I was in an elated state of mind and body. It was perfect.

24. Accalia Trish

Accalia honestly looked like a mini-me, but with red hair as the only difference that I could see.
