Scenario

Raz and Juniper Berry are newlyweds with plans for a future that does not include a family. But one night, in the heat of the moment....Juniper became pregnant and three days later gave birth to twin girls. Will Raz continue to blame Juniper for this sudden twist of fate? Will Juniper keep her babies or give them up for adoption...only you can decide the fate of this family.

My Story (02/24/07)

Juniper went right back to work as soon as possible after the twins were born. Raz had a job, too, but no nanny showed up the day the babies were due to become toddlers. Fortunately, several of the neighborhood guys stopped by to commiserate. Alec Gerard, Leo Perry, and Tom Richardson ended up staying all day.
Both Leo and Alec have "baby practice." Leo tired of helping with the twins, but Alec kept at it until Juniper came home. As Juniper went to fix dinner for everyone, Alec bathed one of the children.
In the twins' room, Alec greeted a new little toddler. At the same time, in the kitchen, Juniper held the other little toddler. Then Juniper and Alex play with the little cuties in their room for a short time, while Raz, Leo, and Tom watched the game on the TV in the living room!
After the Blue and Bramble were put to bed, the adults gathered in the kitchen for dinner. They had a good time gossiping about the rest of the neighborhood occupants, but it was soon bedtime. Raz had retired by the time Juniper said goodbye to the other guys. I just happened to catch her thinking fondly of Alec just before he left...OH OH!
Raz and Juniper didn't have much time to visit with neighbors over the next days. In the evenings they spent time teaching the twins to walk and talk. By this time, the first nanny had quit, and Raz was worried about his job.
In the mornings, Raz and Juniper spent time together with the kids, who really were good little cuties--totally identical except for their clothing. As Juniper went off to work the day before the girls were to grow up again, Raz managed to get another nanny, but it was too late. He missed his ride, and finally just gave up, sent the nanny home, and quit his job, which didn't make him unhappy in the least. He had never liked the job that well, anyway.
When Juniper got home from work that night, she decided to ask the Richardson family over for dinner, as she needed another friend to get a promotion at work. After the Richardsons went home and the twins were asleep in bed, Raz and Juniper spent a little time cuddling, and...you know...as she comforted him about the job.
The day that Blue and Bramble became children, Elke Perry came home from work with Juniper. She had just gone home to her own family, when the girls grew up within a few minutes of each other. The next morning, Juniper and the girls at breakfasted together before they headed out for their first day of school.
It's a good thing Raz had found a new job while the ladies were at breakfast, because right after breakfast, Juniper was surprised to realize she was pregnant again. She had had absolutely no sign...well...other than that strange little melody she had thought she heard that one night. When the girls came home that afternoon from their first day of school, they sat right down and did their homework, while two little friends sat politely on the sofa, waiting to play. At the same time, Lemon Drop walked by, and Juniper spent some time talking with her. When they went into the living room, it turned out that Lemon knew little Duncan Snooker. She kept him talking until it was time for him to go home, as the twins had their very first pillow fight.
I left the Berry family for a while, as they all had a good night's sleep. I wonder how they'll do with a third child in the family. Certainly that little house must somehow be increased in size. They have some ideas, but not much money. How will they handle that situation. Also, is Juniper still harboring "feelings" toward Alec? It seems Alec had better hurry and get married to Christy, and stay away from the Berry's house, so both couples will have a better chance to stay together!
