Losing Randy meant leaving the main house under the weirdness of Janabel. Before we go there, lets check in with the rest of the family and take a look at the other houses. I'm thinking it might soon be time for them to have their own blogs. If you have an opinion please feel free to share in the comments.
At Samson's house we are back to Abigail and Clarence and the will he commit/won't he commit conundrum. Oh, and they had a house makeover too, in case you notice those things.
Needless to say Abigail was able to convince him that their love was real and they were engaged and married soon after. It wasn't long after wedding bells rang that Abigail thought she 'might' be expecting.
Meanwhile at Delilah's house she is finally having her first child, about the same timing as a potential great niece or nephew. No regrets, she had her fun first then settled down. Meet Samuel, Delilah's ONLY child.
The day that Samuel grew to toddler Delilah aged to elder. She's still rockin the pigtails like a teenie. Samuel is loved and cared for and taught all he needs to know by his parents before growing to a child. I had to include that picture from the roll as Delilah is hanging out sideways or something. It made Me giggle and that's really all that matters. Move on already!
After losing Randy, Martha knew it was more important than ever to get her and her half-siblings out on their own. They soon moved into a newly constructed, and gated, apartment complex. Apartments are a new concept after the Apocaplyse, so we shall see how that goes. Living so close to strangers and all. Mary...loves it!
Love did happen, him first, and they were soon married. The big picture up top, I need you to look closely. You see Doo Rag's nose still hanging in after all these generations on Martha but check out Talin's as well. If they have children it's like a nose of doom. Before long Triumphant (yes that's what I named the town) will be known not for overcoming obstacles and rebuilding society but for their noses. Noses of prominence everywhere!
So back to the main house we go, where the family is settling into their new routine without Randy around. Baby Jeremiah had just been born and someone needed to be able to care for him. Aganist my better judgement I had Janabel quit her job to stay home and watch the baby. Baby's aren't that hard right? And maybe with her it wouldn't be a gazillion bottles a day. I was right. I did have to force her to change him periodically but well, ya know, no one wants to do that. Before too long Jeremiah grew into quite the cute little toddler. This is when I started to worry...
Janabel carried it out though. Kept him alive anyway. She did take him to potty throughout the day and started to built a relationship with the little nugget. And with a few other people as well.
She met a new 'friend' and I knew where this was headed. She hasn't seen him again...yet but before long she won't have Jeremiah underfoot all day either.
She also rekindled her romance with Neil and it went exactly where we all knew it would. She tried to tell me that she invited him over so he could get to know his son. Until I reminded her that his son had moved out. Then she didn't even care to lie just did what she does and told him goodbye. Apparently times does heal all fights.
Janabel however is becoming a pretty good Jana to Jeremiah and did actually secretly work with him on his skills during the day. She let mommy and daddy finish them so they think he's like a genius or something. Time will tell.
Daddy hooked him up with the ability to talk and he loves his Jana. Of course Paul and Jill think it's someone he's met, not someone in their household! He grew up to be a pretty awesome child as well and follows his Jana around, annoying the nuggets out of her while he is at it, and is learning a lot. Not always what he needs to learn mind you but a lot all the same.
While all this is happening Paul had a little setback at work and was demoted but soon recouped and is currently a partner in the architecture firm. Jill is moving up as well and scored two promotions, and one demotion, dang chance cards, as well. Before too long, maybe, there can be bigger and better houses for everyone! As well as maids, and phone calls, and gifts and well you get the idea. (Do you see what I did there...yup actually mentioned the careers which is really what this whole thing is about :D)
Until next time...
aww, she kinda has a heart.
ReplyDeleteIf by Kinda you mean that she only did those things to get the little cretin (her word not mine) to stop annoying her you are right! :S
