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! |
