Because they both hit perma-plat before they died ;)
Ah. After I asked, I began to suspect that might be it.
Would prefer a Vegas-style chorus line myself, but that's just me. :)
Astral Faery:
Thanks a lot, guys!
Steelguy - Yeah, it was kind of creepy that Almeric stared all the time. I set up some of the shots, but he seemed to look at her a lot of his own accord. It's almost like he knew his destiny, lol.
Sadie - thanks! Yes, that's the hard part of legacies, letting go. But they can't all just hang around or there would be no room for the next generation. I had a really hard time letting go of Almeric and Alynna and had them sipping elixir for quite awhile, lol.
greydove - thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it. I didn't know how it would stack up against other legacies out there, but I really wanted to do it. I'm having a really good time.
mpb - aw, thanks! I meant choppy because sometimes it seems like I'm rushing through things too much. Like not taking pictures between Elwyn's and Jess's deaths - 3 whole days and I didn't snap a single pic. Sloppy because you can see the sky in some shots and the walls are down in others. Sometimes I can't avoid that in smaller rooms, but I really do try to.
Astral Faery:
I'm bored. You guys want an update?
Chapter 9
Well, here I am. Back home after college and ready to start my life. I finally figured out what I want out of life. I want to have three children and watch them all graduate from college. It was such a life changing experience for me, I want to share it.
Ah, there's my handsome man. You'll probably see lots of pictures of him. I just think he's the hottest thing to ever walk the earth.
Mom thinks he's pretty hot, too. But...that's kind of creepy.
We wasted no time at all tying the knot. The day after we got home we had our wedding. I was thrilled to be the first Avalon to use the beautiful wedding pavilion Dad built. There was a time in my life I didn't think I'd ever get married - when I feared it, actually, but now I'm ecstatic.
Me and my beautiful husband kissing for the first time as man and wife.
Mmm. This cake looks delicious.
Aw, isn't he cute? I think he was afraid I was going to shove it in his mouth. But I wouldn't want to get his gorgeous face all messy.
A little pillow fighting in our formals.
And then we're whisked away on our honeymoon.
I also didn't want to waste any time getting pregnant. I want babies!
I got pregnant on the first try! It's like I was truly meant to do this. I thought I would start on my novel, because soon it would be difficult to find time to work on it. It's like a tradition in our family.
My husband can't keep his hands off me. And I love it! Even with a belly the size of a basketball, he's always kissing me and cuddling with me.
Like Grandpa Elwyn before him, Dad is a grouch. Here he is ripping Almeric a new one for whatever reason.
I love him. He takes it. He doesn't argue, because he knows that will just get Dad going even more. He quietly mumbles an apology and lets it drop. That's for the best.
And Dad complains about the toys that will someday be scattered on the floor, even though our first child hasn't even been born, yet.
I felt the baby kick today. I wonder if it's a boy or a girl? I'll find out pretty soon.
Town Paranoid: You've been spying on me with that telescope, haven't you?
Town Paranoid: Hey, what's that in there? Is that a...a...baby?
Of course it's a baby, you moron! How dare you run into my house and shove me! DON'T MESS WITH A PREGNANT WOMAN!! I will chew you up and spit you out before you can even figure out what happened!
Dad's pretty excited about being a grandpa. Whenever he talks to the baby it starts kicking like crazy. It really likes the sound of his voice. I'm getting so tired of saying 'it' all the time. I'm ready for this baby to come out, already!
Grandpa's ghost came out tonight. Scared Dad pretty good, but he loved it. He's been wanting to see a ghost for awhile, now.
Aaahh! The baby's coming!
Dad couldn't be interrupted during his cake, even though I was screaming my head off! I can't believe the pain! I'm never going to get pregnant again! Ever!
It's a girl! Baby Laurana - with the Avalon gold eyes. Aw, she's beautiful! I can't wait to have more!
Sigh. That would be Boy 2 - Ricky Cormier.
He never quite got over the fact that I dumped him. He thinks it's Almeric's fault, but I dropped him before I ever realized my feelings for Almeric,
Time for Laurana's birthday! Sorry, no toddler shot. Because as soon as the confetti fell...
...I was puking...
...puking...
...puking.
Once I was comfortably in my second trimester, the sickness went away and I was able to focus on Laurana's skills. With the help of smartmilk, it was easy going.
Dad's starting to creep me out. He's so desperate to see the ghost of one of his dead parents that he actually sat a chair in between the tombstones. He spends a lot of time sitting out there, just waiting.
Laurana and I using the potty together. I sure am glad she's potty trained now!
Almeric: Argh! I was just getting ready to use the toilet!
Me: Sorry, honey. The baby is pressing on my bladder. I can't hold it.
Almeric invited one of his friends from college over for a visit. Vyn Stompel arrived wearing her cow mascot outfit. Watching her eat was...disgusting.
Vyn: Aaah! Naked old lady in the shower!
Kenya: You should have knocked, dear.
Vyn: You should have locked the door!
More husband spammage. I just can't stop taking pictures of this man. And ooh, just look at him in that uniform. He's on his way to become a general.
It's time! The baby's coming!
Oooh the pain! What the heck is your problem, buddy? You're not giving birth! Where's my husband?
AAAHHH!! QUIT STANDING THERE LIKE AN IDIOT AND GO GET MY HUSBAND SO I CAN KILL HIM! HE DID THIS TO ME!!! I swear I'll never ever EVER have another baby again!
Almeric's twin brother, Aldric holds his new neice. Her name is Aislyn. She has her daddy's skintone and bright green eyes.
It wasn't long after Aislyn's birth that Laurna turned into a gorgeous child. Great job, sweetie!
La la la not listening!
I didn't take any baby shots of Aislyn, and it wasn't long before it was time for her to have her first birthday. Look at that head of hair!
Potty training Aislyn. I guess Almeric couldn't wait until we were done before using the toilet, which is so dirty I can smell it from the other room. Yuck!
Not surprisingly, the thing clogged up and Mom just had to give Almeric her two cents. I don't know what it is with my parents lecturing everyone all the time.
I mean, just look at that face. You'd think he broke a window or something. It's not a big deal, it happens all the time in this house with so many people.
My poor hubby sure takes a lot of crap from his inlaws. He's such a stud. He just takes it.
And will you just look at this? He's been promoted to astronaut! I'm so proud of him. He's been working really hard, and he's almost at the top.
Me: Hey, baby. You know I love it when you wear your space suit to bed.
Almeric: You do?
Me: Mmmhmm. How about we try for baby number three?
Almeric: What? Another baby? Isn't two enough?
Me: Come one, stud. You know I want three. Besides, wouldn't you like to try for a boy?
Almeric: You talked me into it.
Will Almeric and Alynna succeed in getting pregnant? Will Almeric get to the top of the military career? Will the Avalon family always be a bunch of grouchy neat freaks? Tune in to the next chapter to find out.
