Generation 1 – Chapter 7: Growing so fast

I was back on top again, and had started to work hard on my garden again. A day the bistro called me for making a deal. If i delivered a box of the best groceries from my garden they would help me with growing new things. So i went to the bistro and we got the deal.

Soon we had a lot of birthdays to celebrate. First of it was the twins or rather Carmelo. His hair was growing strong and had the beautiful green color like mine. Carmelo was also the only of our kids how had his fathers eyes.

Then it was Iris turn. She had her fathers brown hair and it was long and wild. She had my green eyes though and i swear i sometimes see them glow in the dark.

In the same evening also Dahlia got older. My little sunshine how just had learn to talk and walk was now ready for school. She wasnt very excited about it then she didnt want to leave the garden and sit indoor all day. But i promised her if she got good grades she could help me in the garden when she was ready for high school.

The nights where hard with all the little ones who didnt wanted to sleep at the same time. So Buck and i started taking shift with them a night. The only one who didnt minded them screaming was Dahlia who after playing in the garden all day sleept through every noise.

Dahlia wasnt not very happy that morning when she had to go to school. But we convinced her with a promise. For her birthday she had asked for a easel but we didnt had the money for it. But this morning Buck told me he had seen one for sale. So as soon as Dahlia got home from school she asked Buck to move the easel out to my garden so she could start paint.

Im not feeling very young any longer and who wonders. After the birth of our four lovely children i felt the time catching me too. I turned 35 that night. I had just cleaned the toilet when i realized that i was a full grown adult now.

It was birthday on birthday, in our little house. The next one was our little genius Ashton. Ashton grew up to look a lot more like me but in one thing we where more than different. If we asked him to come out and play or go on a fishing trip with us he refused he rather wanted to sit inside in his bed and read or think.

Ashton and Dahlia was going to the same school and because it was quite a long walk i let them drive with the bus. As i saw them inside the bus it looked like Ashton was ready to protect his elder sister. What a silly idea, then neither Dahlia nor her teacher had spoken about problems in school.

Besides his work Buck has now been working on our kitchen for months and finally he called me inside one day.
“What do you think my Rose,” he asked with proud in the voice.
It was small and we couldnt eat in it but it was beautiful and i had all the items i needed for cooking proper meals for the family. Instead of answering him with words i just kissed him.

I was on the phone with the dear Colten Case from the other side of the town when i heard the news about my new baby sister. My mother had had a hard pregnancy with little Acacia but they where both well now. But more was happening in my family Susie and Derreck had broken up. Apparently because they werent allowed to meet very often.
