Slice of Life is my favorites, but I also love fandom based* and country based rps. I'm open to trying most things, but there are a couple that I won't do.

*I'm not interested in fandoms I don't know and I am not interested in playing canon characters. I only play OCs.

You live here with your kid, and your significant other, maybe you were a young parent, maybe not... But really, this RP is about life. Everything from your child starting pre-k at the age of 2 or 3 to kindergarten at 4 or 5 and so on, along with what happens to you, will your family expand, shrink, or just stay as it is? This RP is all about that, so please, HAVE FUN!

Castle Hill is a very small, mostly rural, town in Aroostook County, Maine. This is a town where everyone knows each other unless you have just moved in, and still that's rare since usually you know of someone in the small town to have even found the place. The town doesn't have any of its own schools... no pre-school, no elementary school, no middle school, and no high school. The children go to the Circle of Learning Pre-school (which is very big and includes 5 different towns children), they either go to Mapleton Elementary or Fort Fairfield Elementary school (both of them are quite small, so the students are put into 2 schools), and lastly they all go to Fort Fairfield Middle / High School (although it isn't a huge school, it's big enough to accommodate all the students. Most people live on farms of sorts (usually in a colonial, ranch / country style, or victorian type house), or they live in a rented place (usually a rented house or apartment). This isn't the type of place where you would expect to see an Audi Convertible or Lamborghini, but you'd more likely see something along the lines of a GMC pickup truck, a family van, and maybe the occasional Jeep. There is a quaint park suitable for all ages behind town square, and town square is where all of the shops and cafes and other various stores are.

It's the middle of Winter, the middle of a Winter in North-Eastern Maine, it's also about halfway through the school year now. There is anywhere from 2-3 feet of snow on the ground, and it, at the very least, flurries at least once a week. It is always cold during the day, but becomes even more teeth-chattering at night. This is definitely the time of year meant for those new warm wool mittens and winter boots, along with the pretty crackling fire in the fireplace, and the nice warm blankie to cuddle up with!

28 {Aug. 28} || Architect || Girlfriend;Blythe || Yippee || X
Pulling up alongside the curb in front of his house, Mikael pushed open the door and let himself slip out of the raised truck before hitting the lock button on his keys and walking up the path and step, unlocking the door, and finally into the house where Mike promptly hung up his coat and scarf, glad to be inside while it was snowing once again. There was already a foot of solid snow on the ground from the past few days and today called for anywhere between six inches and two feet. Some range if you asked him. Shrugging off his annoyance, Mikael turned toward the stairs in front of him "Bly? Essie?" he called, wondering if they were home yet. Usually Mikael would have gotten a text or a call to pick up Esther from Pre-K, but he was home a little early and it was a snow day, even the pre-school closed.

Tessa

Re-adjusting Maisy on her hip, Tessa watched carefully as her parent-less student, Sarah, went around on her pony again. The girl was good, really good; especially for a ten year old, and she didn't necessarily need the lessons, but Tess felt bad for the girl. That was also part of the reason she had agreed to hire Sarah as a part-time trail guide along with free board for her two horses, one of whom seemed to be mainly a pasture pet and spent a lot of time in Tessa's horses pasture opposed to the boarding pasture. "Good Sarah, Why don't we call it a day and tack up" she called, putting her now wiggly toddler down. "Cool him down, un-tack and come on inside. You can have lunch with us then one of us will take you back, alright" she said gently and waited for the shy girl to nod before turning and walking back to the house. It was so nice to work and live on the same piece of land. Upon checking Maisy's blood sugar for the second time that day, Tessa sat the toddler in her booster seat at the table, with a coloring book of course, and went to creating a simple lunch, wondering where her boyfriend may have gone.

Maisy

"Mama, down" Maisy said, patting Tessa's shoulder as her mother called out to the girl riding the horse. Maisy was mad at her. She wanted to ride Gypsy now too, but her mama said no, but then why did Sawah get to ride Hopsoc? As Maisy contemplated everything in her head a bit angrily and very stubbornly, the toddler wiggled a bit until she was put down. "Mama, go. now!" she exclaimed in her little, high-pitched voice. A pouty face began to spread on the minnie mouse clothed child until her mom finally walked back toward the house with her, picking her up half way to home. Even though she didn't love the strappy seat her mama made her sit in, Maisy liked it more than that 'high chair' or whatever it was called. When she found the color book she smiled brightly, all tears from the sugar test disappeared as Maisy began to scribble on a picture of lucky the care bear.

Even though Dr. Finn was on-call as usual, he was mainly working from home today... mainly because Fridays and Mondays he didn't schedule appointments. Everything was by emergency only on his two off days. Today happened to be a Friday which meant tomorrow he would be jammed pack with sniffly nosed, coughing patients who either were outside too long lately or slipped on more ice. Wandering around the house, Gar poked his head into their bedroom, wondering if his beautiful fiance was sleeping or if she had gotten up and left while he was in the office.

Ash
26 {Feb. 8} || Cowboy || Wife;Anita || Jingles;Petunia || X
Tapping his feet on the steps to the door, Ash knocked the remaining snow off of his boots before walking into the house "Hey Annie! Hey Kels! Hey Nelly!" he called each one, pausing between each name as he looked around, listening for footsteps or vocal replies. It seemed obvious that they would most likely be home since school was cancelled today. That meant a long weekend for his three favorite girls and plenty of time he could spend with them now that he wouldn't be travelling to another rodeo until the spring. It was nice to be back in Maine... even if it was 20 below freezing at night and barely fifteen degrees right now. He would definitely be the first to admit that he missed them more than anything for the two weeks he was away... he hadn't even stayed for the whole competition.

"Daddy's home!" Kelsey yelled as she sat upright in bed. She was sent to take her nap about an hour ago, something she apparently hadn't outgrown yet. Jumping up, Kels practically flew out of her super fluffy but super high for a small child bed and ran towards the stairs, only pausing for a mere few moments when she stumbled afer twisting her ankle just before she decended the stairs. "Mama! Helen!" she called happily, bouncing up and down on the steps as she got closer to her daddy.

Sarah
10 {Nov. 10} || Part-time babysitter & Trail Guide at Tack & Trail Stables || Fort Fairfeild Elementary; 5th Grade || Zephyr;Hopscotch || Prone to night terrors || X
Sarah was very focused and even though she had told Tessa numerous times that she didn't need the help, She was glad that Tessa always offered it anyway. Taking Hopscotch around the last turn she held him tight and sailed over two of the last three jumps with ease. She mis-counted her strides on the final jump and after being a half-count off her agile pony's hoof just barely tapped the nearly two and a half foot top pole of the oxer, letting the rail barely rattle against the cup. Giving a nod as Tessa told her to stop, Sarah obediently did as she was told and cooled her gelding down before untacking, putting him away and saying goodbye to him. She would stop and say goodbye to Zephyr before she left since he was kindly kept in the warmer family barn. Sarah walked back quietly, enjoyin the cold wind as it rushed past her, sending a chill up her spine, the young girl thought back to the happier times when she had a family almost five years ago to the day. Her older sister, the best person in the world, would have been about Miss Tessa's age by now, maybe a year or two younger. Nevertheless, Sarah could miss her family all she wanted, she would never get them back though. Walking into the house she sighed at how warm it was before looking over Maisy's shoulder "That's very pretty" she said softly, smiling to the toddler as she walked over and tried to find out how she could help.

Alex
26 {Nov. 16} || Writer || Fiance;Garrett||Chi|| X
Alex was still sleeping peacefully under the blankets when Garrett poked his head in to check on her. Her chest was rising and falling softly as she sat there on the large bed, her long red hair splayed around her in a random pattern as she slept. Every once and while she would make a soft snoring noise, that almost sounded like a snort. She was sound asleep, and hadn't even noticed that he was in the room. She had stayed up kind of late writing last night, and so she hadn't gotten to be until the early hours of the morning.​
 
Anita
26 {May 16}|| Kindergarten Teacher || Husband:Ash || Mimzy;Monarch;Imagine || X
As she washed the dishes, Anita watched the snow fall from the kitchen window. She didn't really like days when she didn't work, it just made her miss Ash more. The door opened and Mimzy lifted her head from her nap. She barked once, quieting down when Anita bent down to pat her head. "Good girl," she cooed quietly before going to see who it was. She was pretty sure that Ash wasn't supposed to be back until the next day. When she heard Kelsey exclaiming about Daddy being home, a small, but genuine smile formed on her face. She walked out of the kitchen, drying her hands with Mimzy at her heels. "Welcome home, dear. How'd it go?" she asked as she leaned against the door frame, crossing her arms and tilting her head.

Helen
10 {Sept. 1} || Mapleton Elementary; 5th Grade || Andlar ||X
Helen tilted her head and chewed on her lip. Something about it was off... The nose... She twirled the pencil in her hand. Why could she never get noses right? Putting the pencil's eraser against the paper again, she dragged it carefully across the page. Sometimes she thought it would be easier to draw digitally, but she had to wonder how much of a change it would be for her to make. She was about to try to draw the nose again when she heard a familiar voice call her name. "Ash!" she exclaimed, dropping her pencil onto the desk and sliding her chair back. She bounded down the stairs, only pausing to step around Monarch and Poppy. "Did you win something, Ash?" she questioned her stepfather from the stairs.

Blythe
27 {Mar 25th} || Therapist || Boyfriend: Mikael || Polar || X
Blythe looked up from her sleeping daughter when she heard Mike's voice. She had brought Esther to work for awhile, but she wanted to get home before it started snowing again. She did not enjoy driving in the snow. After smoothing down Esther's hair, she pursed her lips and closed the toddler's door quietly. "Mike?" she wandered towards the front door. "I just put Essie down for a nap. What are you doing home so early?"
She was still in her work clothes as well, but she had let down her hair and it spilled over her shoulders in a waterfall. She offered her boyfriend a soft smile, "I'll start lunch if you're hungry."


Esther
3 {Nov. 21st} || Circle of Learning; 1st year || Mr. Goldy || X
Esther rolled over on her bed and pouted. If she went to go see Mike now, Mommy would not be happy. So, she would wait. Instead, she stared at the snow outside. Maybe she could go sledding. She wanted to go sledding with Mike and Mommy. She flipped onto her stomach and arranged her stuffed animals in front of her. "Mommy said she'd make pasgetti fo dinner," she told them with a matter-of-fact tone. "If I eat aww of it, I can have a cookie! What kind of cookie do I 'ant doh? Chocwitt cwip? Good idear, Mr. White," she nodded at the panda in the center of her collection. Mr. White was her favorite. She slid off her bed. That should have been long enough for a nap. She waddled over to the door and threw it open. "Mike!" she yelled when she saw her mother's boyfriend.

Sirius
21 {Apr. 29th} || Owner of Rival Sweets || Girlfriend: Tessa || Batman || X
Sirius pulled his key out of the ignition and hurried towards the house, a bag firmly grasped in his hand. He spotted Maisy sitting at the table and one of the horse riders and trail guide. She was an orphan, something that always made Sirius a bit sad. "Heyo! I brought dessert," he announced and before Tessa could say anything, he added. "Sugar-free dessert."
He patted Maisy on the head and looked at her picture. "Beautiful! You are going to be the most famous colorer in the world!" he said dramatically before walking over to the counter. He set the bag down, grinning at Tessa and Sarah. "Whatcha girls cooking?"

Matt
39 {Oct. 3rd} || Owner of Fitzgerald Auto; Mechanic || Hercules; Kriller || X
Matt sighed as he locked the door to his shop. This snow was going to become a problem for a lot of people, which meant that he couldn't drop his guard for even a second. He placed the phone on his toolbox and dug into his lunch. Briefly, he wondered where Noah was. She would normally jump on an opportunity like this to make some more money. He felt like it was only fair to pay her, considering the fact she did nearly as much work as he did. He used to avoid paying her when she was younger. Most likely, she was off with Kyle somewhere. Kriller whined, placing his snout on his master's lap. "Fine," Matt said with a chuckle and gave the dog a piece of turkey. Content, Kriller trotted over to his dog bed and settled down. Matt would have to bring him home today; it was too cold to leave him in the shop overnight. At least he didn't jump on the couch like Hercules and Noah's huskies. With a sigh, Matt checked his phone. Only the text from Ben that it was a snow day. At least he could count on his oldest son to inform him about things.

Noah
17 {July 5th} || Works Part Time at Fitzgerald Auto || Crush;Kyle || Astrid;Nightmare;Dusk;Lisbeth || X
The moment Ben had told her it was snow day, Noah had headed straight back to bed. She could honestly care less about school if she didn't have to get credits. Teachers didn't even bother waking her up in class most of the time. Now that it was almost noon, she decided it was probably time to get up. After she got dressed, she picked up her phone. Wanna hang out? she texted Kyle, a small smile on her face. With a yawn, she headed into the kitchen. Ollie was sitting on the couch, watching some reality show. She assumed that Ben was in his room. When she peered over her youngest brother's shoulder, she saw that he was asleep. She shook her head and dropped a blanket over him. It was like him to fall asleep on the couch on a snow day.

Ben
16 {Nov. 19th} || Works Part Time at Rival Sweets || Mrs.Potts;Teacup;Chip || X
Ben hated snow days with a passion. They always put him behind schedule and he didn't like that in the slightest. Didn't it make more sense to be at school, learning? He could understand if it was a blizzard, but this was nothing. It was barely even snowing outside. So, he decided to do something productive in the meantime, his science report. After vigorous research, he determined that he would do it on the development of the common flu and how to prevent it. He was halfway through his third paragraph when he stomach growled. Groaning, he stomped down to the kitchen and saw Noah drinking straight out of the milk carton... Again. "Noah!"

She looked at him, her eyes wide. "What? It was practically empty anyways!"

"That's no excuse."

"Let it go, Benji-Boy."

"Don't call me that!"

14 {June 4th} || Fort Fairfield Middle/High; 9th Grade || Aquarius; J-Lo || X
Ollie woke up to his sibling's bickering with a blanket thrown over him. With a sigh, he tucked his head under the blanket and feel back asleep.

Jin
25 {May 23rd} || Nurse || Social Anxiety || Husband: Daniel || Numerous Family Pets || X
Its gotten quite snowy over the past couple of days. Hopefully her Family on the other side of the world wasn't having to deal with what she was dealing with right now currently. Hopefully Danial and Carly weren't spending too much time outside. Although she didn't want to, Jin limited interaction with her little girl Carly because of her unstable mood swings, which is brought on by pregnancy. Over the past several months, her belly had gotten a lot bigger, but then again, there was a baby inside of her, so there was no need to fret. To her, the creation of life was a beautiful thing. Since she was pregnant the second time around, she got bigger faster. It has also been two months since she took off from work for Maternity Leave. Why she took it early was because she was tired of her co-workers at the Clinic touching her belly all of the time. Yes, there's a life in there, but it is still another person's body. She knew that Daniel was very excited, because she was having a boy. The Family pets liked being around her stomach for some strange reason. Probably because they could sense the baby in her tummy. Which she thought was cute.

For now, she was just resting in her bedroom, waiting for either Daniel or Carly to come by. She placed one hand over her swollen belly, looking down at it, where her future baby boy was rest. "Daddy will be home soon. I know you miss him and Carly." She said in a sweet tone, gently caressing her ever-growing belly as the baby kicked. She hasn't decided a name for him yet either, but she wanted to wait till next month. She then picked up her phone to post a picture on Instagram, where she was showing off her dress and flaunting her baby bump. Only the bottom half of her face was shown, and she was smiling as the photo was taken. Afterwards, she began scrolling through other parts of Social Media while waiting for the rest of the Family. The pets were leaving her alone because they all knew that she needed rest.​

Jason stood on the doorstep, his arms crossed waiting for his son, Luca, to get there. He watched as a family van slowly stopped at the curb in front of his house, it was his sons child worker after his second appointment with her. Luca ran into his stomach and hugged Jason. "Yeah sure bud, now i need to talk to Mrs. Lewis so run inside," He patted his back as the boy ran inside, the man looked back at the women holding a clipboard. "Mr.Hunt i think Luca should have be excused from school one period to help him with his writing, the weird part is that he is an extraordinary drawer for his age, but he is having a difficulty with writing" The women crossed her arms and tapped on her chest, Jason sighed and looked in his window at Luca drawing. "Okay thank you, have a nice day Mrs. Lewis" The women nodded and walked back to her van, he then walked back into the house.

Luka had to go to a private session for the last two Fridays, the women asked to show him how he writes and all of his journal notes, he didn't know why he had to go there for the second time on a Friday but didn't argue. When the van stopped in front of their house, Luka slid the door open and ran out the van seeing his father, Jason, waiting for him. He ran at his father and gave him a big hug on his leg not being able to hug him on his chest because of his height, "Hey Daddy can we go to the comic store because it's a snow day!" The boy said excitingly, he then listened to his fathers response and ran inside. The boy pulled out his drawing notebook and began drawing a soccer ball.

Chase had the day off today, so Chase decided to get some food at the Cafe. Justice didn't wanna go just wanted to go on his phone apparently all day, but Mason decided he wanted to go. So Chase and Mason were on their way to Jessabelle's Cafe, when they got there they sat at one of the tables near the windows. A women came up and asked their order, Chase answered. "Just some Bacon and Eggs, please and thank you" Chase had just moved in this week and this Monday Mason and Justice would start at their new school. "So are you ready for school?" He asked his son, then responded to his comment. "You'll have fun i promise you" Chase said as the women handed them their food and they began to eat.

Mason had went with his father to a Cafe, all week he had been bored for the week that he had been in this town, so maybe going out could be a little 'less boring'. Mason walked in the Cafe with his father beside him, taking a seat with a window, a women came up to the table and asked the two what they would like. "Give me some hashbrowns and some bacon...Please" Mason sat back in the seat as he waited for his food. "No, i don't wanna go...I don't know anyone there" The boy sighed as he listened to his fathers response, then when the food came he began to eat.

Chuckling slightly at his girlfriends question he gave her a rather warm smile. "I'm out early today. We finished the drawing plans for the new house in Seattle" he said, giving a small shrug. "I'm still not sure why the family hired us instead of a local company, but it's good money, especially if they let me go and supervise the production" he said lightly, glad that things seemed to be going great for once. "Babe, I'm fine, why don't we just wait for lunch. We could watch a movie or something while Esther is supposed to be napping" He said, looking down at the little girl who had appeared in her doorway. "Hey Es... what are you doing up?" he asked walking over and picking the child up "You know, if you don't go to take your nap the cookie monster might have to eat your dessert later" he said carefully, figuring Esther had been promised a cookie after dinner, just like always.

Thomas sat at his desk in his personal office of the third floor of the Wishing Bells & Co. building that overlooked the main park in Castle Hill. Tom had been here for about five years now and he loved it. This place was almost as snowy as his Swedish hometown, and he was following his dreams here. Like his mother, Thomas was an author... but he was also a composer. Currently he was working on a musical piece he had been asked to write for an upcoming school play that all three elementary schools were doing together. It was a thing that the schools did twice a year, once in Winter, they actually had just finished the first one, a cute version of Aladdin, which hadn't recquired Thomas to write anything which he happily did when they asked. This spring one was more of an original, he was helping to write the script and the music, but Tom was certainly no playwright, he would help once the basic story-line was thought out.

"I was thinking five-cheese macaroni with a side of kiwi for lunch" she said lightly, opening the fridge and pulling out two fresh kiwi's as she brought them back to the counter for cutting. Tessa had already given Maisy her insulin injection for the meal before. With any luck Maisy would 'grow out' of her diabetes when she was older... until then though the family would be tracking everything closely. "Hey, Siri do you mind driving Sarah back after lunch?" she asked lightly, Wiping her hands on a towel as she finished cutting the fruit. "I've got to go round up all the horses, it's supposed to get really bad tonight and I don't particularly want to be rounding them up when it gets bad" she said gently as she headed back for the stove to help the ten year old.

"Hi Siwi" Maisy smiled, giggling as he told her how good of a colorer she was. Smiling brightly, Maisy heard Cheese and Macaroni and bounced up and down in her booster seat "Yay! Yummy Yummy!" the two year old clapped excitedly before pickin her crayon up again and starting to scribble on the bear with the purple wax. Nodding at the other girl when Sarah walkd over, Maisy pushed the book slightly and kept coloring.

Garret had remembered that Alex hadn't clicked the light off until very late the night before, thus he wasn't surprised to see her still sleeping. It was getting close to one in the afternoon though, and he felt bad but the doctor in him was coming out and Gar decided that Alexandra needed to wake up for like twenty minutes to at least eat something and get some nutrition in her body. Pushing the ajar door open quietly, Garret walked into their bedroom and sat down on the side of the bed by her. Gently giving her shoulder a light shake, Garret smiled warmly "Alex" he whispered "Alex, wake up hon" he added briefly, waiting for his beautiful fiance to come to.

"C'mon Car" Dan smiled as he pulled his truck into the drive and slid out the driver's side of the truck as Carly unbuckled her seat belt and slid over toward her dad where the man promptly lifted his little girl and put her down. After a day of playing in the snow with her twin cousins, Bentley and Aiden, there was no doubt that the small seven year old was undoubtedly exhausted. As he went to put his daughter down, Dan chuckled when she kept her arms slung around his neck, obviously wanting to be carried. Most kids, by the time they were seven, were not being carried much at all. maybe picked up occasionally. Carly was possibly an exception. She didn't get carried too much, unless she was this tired, but people did tend to pick her up a lot. Walking into the country house he smiled "Honey, I'm Home!" he called out before turning left to go into the living room. Walking over to the couch, Daniel gently removed Carly's coat, mittens and boots before laying the sleeping child down on the coach. She was a pretty deep sleeper and most likely wouldn't wake up even if a bomb went off next to her.

"It went really well" Ash smiled at his wife "I made a decent amount, I'll do better in the spring and summer when maybe we can all go to a few. I don't think I can stay the whole time without my great girls though" he smirked at Anita before chuckling as he saw and heard Kelsey and Helen come running to greet him. "Hiya girls" he smiled, wrapping them both in hugs "You bet I won stuff kiddo" he smiled to Helen as he reached for the tin-lunchbox type box he had carried in. Opening the metal box, Ash held it out for the girls "Do you want a buckle?" he asked, smirking lightly. Of course Ash had gotten other stuff for the girls, they were still in his truck and Ash always got the girls gifts from the rodeo... but occasionally he would give them one of the belt buckles he won as well.

After taking over at the stove for a few minutes while Tessa fixed the fruit, Sarah smiled softly to herself. It was true, she wasn't a person of many words, evenn when her family was alive she didn't say much... their deaths just made her even quieter. After Tessa was done with the fruit she went back toattending the stove, adding cheese and stirring. Sarah carefully took the bowl of kiwi, definitely not her favorite fruit, but better than the bland stuff they ate at the orphanage, and placed it on the kitchen table before walking over to Maisy "Are you coloring Lucky Bear?" she asked with a soft smile "Can I color with you Maisy?" Sarah asked hopefully, smiling when the toddler nodded and handed her a pink crayon. Sarah basically kept to the corner of the page. She drew a little four leaf clover and wrote 'Maisy Lee Nicolls' in it. Sarah had always wanted a younger sibling, especially a little sister, and Maisy was basically the closest thing she would probably ever have to a little sister.

Hearing his phone go off, Kyle swung his left arm out from under the blanket, aiming to hit the phone... only to let it crash to the floor with a thump and then realize it was probably a text he had recieved. Reaching down the unruly teen scooped his iphone up from the ground rather ungracefully. Apparently he had missed two calls and recieved three texts. two from work that he would look at later, one from Noah, basically the only person he wanted to hear from. Sighing, he sent a text back to his boss, apologizing and promising to do a double tomorrow even though he didn't really care. Currently, this pizza job was his only source of income... income would be his only way out of this hell-hole in just under eight months. Flipping through the now cracked screen on his ohone, Kyle quickly read Noah's text and texted back. -Sure, I'll be there to pick you up in 5- he finished pressing the send button. Kyle's only mode of transpot, as far as he was concerned, was his motorcycle, so that's what he climbed onto, revved the engine a few times, strapped the chinstrap of his helemt and was speeding off down main street, figuring he would check her dad's shop first since he needed more gas, then her house if she wasn't at the shop. Heck, maybe he could eventually work for her dad. At least that would be interesting.

It took her a few blinks to drown out the light and see Garrett sitting in front of her. She offered him a warm smiled, sitting up slowly. "Morning Sweety." She said softly, yawning softly.

Jin
25 {May 23rd} || Nurse || Social Anxiety || Husband: Daniel || Numerous Family Pets || X
When she heard her husband's voice, Jin set her phone down and looked towards the bedroom door. All day, Carly had been over at her cousin's place playing in the snow while she was all coped up at home, cleaning around the house, essentially nesting. Luckily the baby's room and nursery was all ready to go as she and Daniel had set everything up last month and started as soon as they announced that it was a boy. She wasn't sure how Carly felt about having a baby brother, but she seemed to be open about becoming a big sister. Holding her back, she swung her legs down to put on her fluffy pink bunny slippers before walking over to the clothes tree to put on her robe, which was the same length of the dress that she was currently wearing. Because her feet were cold, she was also wearing socks. After tying the ribbon above her belly for her robe, she tied her silky hair into a ponytail. Liking the material the robe was made out of, she rested her hand on her belly before looking down at it and smiling. "Daddy's home." she said in a loving voice before leaving the room to go greet Daniel and Carly. When she entered the Living Room, she saw Carly passed out on the Couch and smiled. She must have had a long day, building Snow-Men, having Snowball fights and making Snow Angels. Jin then walked over to her husband and pulled him into a hug, but had to be gentle with it so she doesn't physically hurt the baby. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and sadly the bulge in her belly kept him a little further then she would like, but that didn't stop her from giving him a kiss. She smiled as her gaze met his. "How was your day, honeybunch?" She asked sweetly.​
 
Anita
26 {May 16}|| Kindergarten Teacher || Husband:Ash || Mimzy;Monarch;Imagine || X
Anita smiled warmly at her husband's suggestion to go to a few rodeos together in the summer and spring. Hopefully, he would have one during Spring Break. She hated taking time off from work, but she would do it if it meant she could be with her family. "I'd like that," she responded when he brought out the buckles. She looked out the window at his truck knowingly, a playful smile dancing on her face. She knew that he had probably gotten a lot more than just buckles. "Well, is anyone hungry for lunch or are we too distracted by the fact that your dad has gifts for you?" she asked with a twinkle in her eye.

Helen
10 {Sept. 1} || Mapleton Elementary; 5th Grade || Andlar ||X
"Does that mean we'll get to see the barrel racing?" she questioned at the thought of going to a rodeo. Barrel racing had always fascinated her, even if she had never tried it before. Andlar wasn't exactly born to do something like that. She loved him to pieces, but he was not a rodeo horse. When Ash brought out the buckles, she blinked at them in wonder. She was going to let Kelsey pick first, but at the suggestion from the little girl, she reached for the least flashy of them. She smiled at Kelsey as she chose one. "Lunch sounds great, Mom. Oh, Ash, you need to see the picture I drew of Mopsy and Imagine. I think I outdid myself this time. I'm working on one of Grandpa Greg, but I just can't get the nose right..." she pouted slightly before smiling again.

"Oh, that makes sense," she turned when she heard Esther. Before she could say anything though, Mike spoke. She laughed behind her hand before nodding seriously. "I didn't take a nap once and he stole my cookies twice."
She waited until the pouting girl disappeared back into her room. "I love how you deal with her. What movie do you want to watch?" she questioned as she walked into the kitchen to put the cookies in a place where Esther wouldn't be able to reach them. Knowing her, she would probably try to sneak in and get one. Of course, Blythe would find out later when she found crumbs in the little girl's bed. "If there's enough snow tomorrow, we should go sledding," she suggested while staring out the window. "I know Essie's been dying to."


Esther

Esther continued to pout long after she'd returned to her room. "Da Cookie Monser not getting my cookies!" she declared bravely to Mr.White as the stuffed panda stared back at her. "Mommy will be angy if I stear a cookie, Mr. White. I don't wanna make Mommy angy. She won't go swedding wid us!"
She ignored her bear's pleading for cookies after a wag of her finger and flopped down on her bed. Within two minutes, she was fast asleep.

"Sounds delicious," Sirius commented before nodding to Tess's question. "Course I can, Tess. You really should have some of my sugar free strawberry tarts before I take you, Sarah. I did hear from Matt that it was gonna get pretty bad. He's worried about towing people especially since his tow truck's about ready to give out." Matt was a pretty good friend of his, a former student of his father. He came in every morning for a freshly baked doughnut, usually with Benjamin on the weekends. That boy sure could work. Noah looked like she could be a good worker, but from what he'd heard, she was not a very good baker. Sirius snuck a piece of kiwi from Tess's cutting board with a cheeky grin before sitting at the table. "Whatcha drawing, Sarah?"

Matt didn't even bother looking up when Kyle swung by. "She's not here," he told him as he messed with the of carburetors of a Jeep. Sometimes, it was good to be the only mechanic in town, but it could be stressful too. It wasn't rare for Matt to have six cars in at once, him and Noah each working on separate ones. At least she was competent enough to handle it herself.

Noah rolled her eyes as Ben continued to blabber on about how wrong it was for someone to drink straight out of the milk carton when her phone buzzed. She pulled it out, grinning brightly when she saw a text from Kyle. "I'd love to talk, little bro, but Kyle's gonna be here any minute to pick me up," she thrust the carton into Ben's hands before clamoring up the stairs to get ready. She scooped up Lisbeth as she stormed down the hallway to her room. Gonna be with Kyle. Love ya! Noah texted her dad with her free hand before she brushed her hair and teeth. She went back downstairs and was finished eating moments before Kyle arrived. "Let's get out of here before Ben starts scolding me about the mess I left in the kitchen."

Ben went back downstairs only seconds after his sister left. He stared at the mess of milk and cereal, clenching and unclenching his hands. Sometimes, he couldn't stand that girl. With a sigh, he grabbed a rag and started cleaning it up, humming under his breath. If Noah could hand out with her friends, why couldn't he? Wanna do something? he texted Timmie, hoping she would say yes. He then texted Noah, Stealing your truck.

She was going to hate him.

29 {January 27th} || Part-Time Receptionist at Fitzgerald Auto || Food Allergies || Husband: Matt || Numerous Family Pets || X
Thanks to the Snow, Ashe felt like business has been very slow. Not to mention its been very cold the past couple of days. She was still having trouble getting along with Winter, which did make her a bit sad. Didn't really help that her hormones were jumping everywhere. Probably the worst time to aggravate her too. Why? Ashe is currently nine months pregnant and her baby was due in four weeks. If only Winter could treat her better during their time at home, maybe life would be much easier. In other news, she often bonded with her Husband and other Stepchildren. She only worked part-time because she needed to rest. Carrying a baby inside you can get very tiring, especially considering how big she is now. While her Husband and Stepdaughter Noah worked on the Cars, she often worked at the Front Desk as a Receptionist, taking care of payments and such. If only Ollie could help around the shop, maybe the cars could get fixed faster. Ben and Noah consistently fighting was starting to become a nuisance as well. But she was able to manage. Feeling a dull pain in her tummy, she started caressing around where it hurt before smiling at her belly. Probably the best nine months of her life, considering that the pregnancy was going well and she has been taking good care of herself. Wanting to stretch her legs, she stood up from her chair at the Reception Desk and waddled into the Garage, holding her back and resting her hand on top of her stomach before taking a deep breath. She walked over to the Jeep that Matt was working on. "Darling, you've been working very hard. Why don't you take a break?" She asked lovingly, not wanting Matt to work himself to death. She then started cradling her stomach, consistently caressing it to sooth her unborn baby.​

Mike smiled at Blythe as he gave a small shrug "What if we see if that movie you had wanted to see is on Netflix yet?" he suggested, lightly wrapping one arm around his girlfriends waist. "What was it again, If I Stay? or was it the thing about stars that seemed sad?" he asked curiously. Yeah, it probably would have been a better idea to know for sure what movie it had been, but there had been a lot of movies out in the last year. "and ya know," he added gently, in a casual tone Mike glanced at her seriously "I wouldn't mind if Esther knew me as her dad. I'd gladly accept her as a daughter, even if we aren't married" he said honestly. Blythe was one of the few people that could turn Mikael into a teddy bear. Esther and his mother being the other two ladies and only other people in his life with that capability thus far.

Thomas sat at his desk in his personal office of the third floor of the Wishing Bells & Co. building that overlooked the main park in Castle Hill. Tom had been here for about five years now and he loved it. This place was almost as snowy as his Swedish hometown, and he was following his dreams here. Like his mother, Thomas was an author... but he was also a composer. Currently he was working on a musical piece he had been asked to write for an upcoming school play that all three elementary schools were doing together. It was a thing that the schools did twice a year, once in Winter, they actually had just finished the first one, a cute version of Aladdin, which hadn't recquired Thomas to write anything which he happily did when they asked. This spring one was more of an original, he was helping to write the script and the music, but Tom was certainly no playwright, he would help once the basic story-line was thought out.

"Thank you Siri" Tess smiled at him as she emptied the pot of mac and cheese into four different bowls and brought the food over on a simple dining tray her parents had given her before placing it down on the table. Walking over to Maisy, Tessa smiled at the picture, "That's very pretty girls. I'll put it on the counter for later alright" she said lightly, smiling at the duo as the orphan took her seat. Tessa took the picture, crayons and coloring book from Maisy, placing them on the counter before she went backand gave Maisy her little spoon and bowl of cheesy pasta along with a few pieces of kiwi before taking her spot at the only open side of the small, square table. One person per side seemed plenty obvious, especially since two chairs wouldn't fit on one side.

"Alright boys" Elliot laughed as the twins ran into him, tackling him into the big snow pile they had pushed together with their older cousin Carly, and Elliot's older brother Dan, before. Lifting himself out of the snow, Eli dusted off his jeans slightly and picked his twins up, one six-year-old, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, rather tall Bray-boy under each arm as they playfully squirmed around, tring to get free. "Time to go in you two. Hot chocolate, Transformer movie if you sit on the living room rug or by the fireplace" he said as he put Aiden, the calmer and more obedient of the roudy troublemakers down to open the door. Once they were inside, The boys kicked off their wet boots and romped around the old farmhouse, into the living room in their wet jeans and plaid shirts, sitting down in front of the tv with blocks and trucks while they waited for their drinks. Elliot smiled happily as he watched, picking up after the boys. Yes, he might be a cowboy, but if Eli had to choose anything, he would choose to be a dad. Let him keep his boys and amazing girlfriend and he would give up everything else, as long as the rest of his increasingly large family was also safe and everything.

"Daddy nooo" Aiden whined in sync with his identical twin brother, Bentley. He didn't want to go inside now. He could still feel his fingertips and his nose! Plus, they just pushed daddy into the big snow pile for the second time! It was more fun pushing Carly in, or throwing snowballs at her, or building snowmen, but she had to leave uncle Dan said, so they had said okay, but now daddy wanted them to go in!. Laughing and struggling, kicking and sort of waving his little fists around, Aiden pretended to struggle while he was slowly falling upside-down due to the struggling on his dad's right side. After being dizzy as his dad walked up the farmhouse steps with him tucked upside down under his right arm, Aiden decided not to make a run for it as his dad put him down to open the door... especially after the promise of Hot Chocolate! Running to the living room, Aiden barely shrugged off his coat before following his 'little' brother.

As always, Bentley had said 'no' at the same time as his 'older' brother. Aiden wasn't really older than him, mama and daddy always said that Aiden is four hours older than Bentley, but they were still born on the same day, so it doesn't really matter, right? Wiggling furiously as he was picked up, his dad obviously thought better of holding him upside down like his brother, because Elliot promptly raised his forearm, causing Bentley to be carried right-side up. Pouting until they were inside, Bentley let his boots and coat fall off on his way to the living room. He pulled out his trucks as the right boot and the last of his snow covered foot trailed upon the rug and wood floors of the living room.

"Hey Hon" Dan smiled before returning his loving wife's kiss and gently wrapping his arms around her before giving a slight frown and moving around behind her where he could wrap his arms around her and be closer to her at the same time. One hand lay on each side of her belly. "We had a great time. Those boys are lucky Carly is a little tomboy. They tortured her as usual, and she tortured them right back... even when they destroyed her snowman she had worked so hard on... though Eli was pissed at them for that. Aiden apologized, the other one not so much. Hey, we are just having one baby right?" he asked, the slightest hint of panic in his voice as he watched another set of twins similar to Bentley and Aiden or him and his fraternal twin brother running around. Of course, twins had to run in the Bray family, thankfully so far they hadn't had twins. Unwrapping his arms from around her, Dan glanced over at Carly as she let out a soft snort-like snore before gently taking Jin's hand and walking her into the den across the hall. Sitting down on the loveseat by the fireplace, Dan pulled Jin down softly onto his lap "How's the baby today?" he asked, honestly concerned. Carly's pregnancy had ended up with a few minor complications toward the end and his son was almost here now, so Dan wanted to be sure she was alright.

He was anxious to get home so he had opted to skip the 'most important meal of the day' and just drive his old truck straight back to Maine where he could see his family again. Turning to look at Helen when she asked a question, Ash grinned, glad his older daughter was taking an interest in rodeoing... something Kelsey also seemed to like but both he and Anita had been cautious of letting her participate in for a while. "Youbet kid, and ya know, You could always learn on Jingles or Mopsy... or we could go to granny and gramps house and aunty elizabeth or aunt ca... actually, just aunt elizabeth could tech you" he said lightly.

Smiling softly as she leaned against the giant oak tree in the small, usually empty park behind the orphanage. Most people didn't really know this was a park-park. It was so close to the orphanage that many citizens of Castle Hill thought it was part of the orphanage's property... but it wasn't. Feeling her old, light pink 'dumbphone' vibrate, Timmie pulled her pinkberry as she called it out of the pocket of her light blue jeans, only looking up for a moment to throw the stick Alaska had brought back for the third time then returning her attention to the text. It was from the one person she was friends with... yet she still kept so, so much from him and distanced herself as much as she could yet still be friends with Benjamin Fitzgerald. Biting on her bottom lip gently she replied -Sure, I'm at the park behind the orphanage with Alaska- she clicked the send button and waited for a reply, wondering what the other teen had in mind. If Timber remembered correctly, she had shown Ben the park shortly after being put in the orphanage. They had been friends for a while, but she had only been in the orphanage for a little over one year. Perhaps there was still some hope the red-head would get to live with her dad again one day.

Smiling brightly when Sirius offered her the chance to take a strawberry tart she nodded eagerly "oh yes please, those are my favorite!" she exclaimed quietly before finishing her drawing... or nearly before Maisy told her to write her name too. Letting a slight red tinge creep up her cheeks, Sarah nodded slightly "o-okay, if you want me too" she stuttered slightly before adding her name to the four-leaf clover too. She looked up, bright blue eyes looking alert when she heard Siri talk to her "Well Maisy was coloring Lucky Bear, I think it's her favorite care bear since we always color him, so I was adding a four-leaf clover and I put her name in it... but she wanted my name too, so I put mine under too" she said lightly, a small smile creeping onto her face.

"Nice to see you too, Matt" Kyle said sarcastically as he flipped up the fuel cap on his bike and started the gas. he walked over to Ashley, the receptionist Fitzgerald and handed her a twenty so he could fill up on gas. He had never really bothered with their last name, it was too formal for Kyle and besides, he was friends with Noah since ninth grade. They should be used to his disrespectful respectfulness. As he finished filling his bike up, Kyle got back on the motorcycle and kicked the rev a few times before it would start. Stupid old bike loved giving him problems. Eventually, on the fifth or so rev the bike gave a healthier hum and he sped off down the street, stopping in front of the Fitzgerald house, revving the engine again, this time to let Noah know he was here. Hopefully she had his spare helmet still.

Sighing as he watched his brother leave him again, Ryan pulled on his favorite sweater, the only one that still fit him well, and wasn't peppered with holes and raggedy and all. Pulling on the pair of sneakers he owned, Ryan walked out of the building and began to wander around Castle Hill like he did most days. At least the orphanage wasn't like he had seen in that movie about the girls, Annie. Most of the workers were pretty nice. The food was really gross, usually it was oatmeal or grits for breakfast, they were on their own to find out what lunch would be, and dinner was something like a sandwhich that didn't have much taste. But overall things weren't too bad at all.

Alex sighed, relishing in his soft kiss to her head. She let out a soft groan and rubbed her eyes as she looked at him, sighing before she slipped her hands into his. "Alright, I will, reluctantly, leave my warm comfy bed to go on a date with you." She joked, smiling softly before giving his cheek a soft kiss.

Winter
16 {Nov. 19th} || Works Part Time as a step-mother assassin || Princess||
large beeping sound emitted from her phone and she slammed it to the ground before rolling out of bed her head pumping and her heart pounding. Winter groaned and turned off the alarm shovelling her feet into slippers and her arms into her long dressing gown. She silently made her way past little her siblings rooms and the room that housed her father and witch of a step mother. She made Her way downstairs and stumbled across her twin stealing his phone as she passed she looked at the recentt texts and stared at Benjamin. "Really your my twin, you look pretty good and sorta kinda like me so, just remember we represent each other so try to hold up to my standards of dates.

She walked out of the kitchen once again skipping breakfast. Winter walked into the Garage and rolled her eyes as she saw
the retching sight. The witch was in the garage crooning over her naive father. "Dad I see she's still here," she scowled pointing a finger at Her step-mother.

Winter hated her step mother wth passion. She was pretty,kind and loved children everything about her echoed 'perfect' and Winter hated it, her family was broken. Beautifully,tragically,desperately broken and she was used to it.But since the Witch had invaded her families minds they hadl recovered slightly. But Winter had not she avoided her family even more than usual and began to drink more excessively sometimes never coming home. She whispered loudly in her fathers ear so Asher could hear "seriously dad when are you going to stop ruining my life, mum well you know and then you invite a stranger into our lives and have a baby with her, you might be over mum but some of us aren't, and your offending her by replacing her with that" she pointed to Asher distane showing on her face as she started to gulp tears back but then grimacing and smirking

Jin
25 {May 23rd} || Nurse || Social Anxiety || Husband: Daniel || Numerous Family Pets || X
When Dan moved around to be behind her, she didn't mind. Maybe he too was tired of her belly being in between them. She knew that she was. But then again, it was their baby. When he held her belly, Jin found it comforting and a little less strain on her back. When she was told about how Carly's Day went, she looked over at her daughter and smiled. Carly was quite a Tomboy, not very much like her Mother, who was more feminine. Having two little boys running around must be annoying though. When asked that they were just going to have one baby, seeing how her two Nephews were twins, she laughed. "Yes, sweetie, its just going to be one." Twins didn't really run in her side of the Family, but her Husband was one. The best way to tell the difference between them is their outfits. She was lucky that her husband had different preferences then her Brother-In-Law. Seeing that her little girl was snoring, she must be very tired. After a brief walk into the Den, Jin found herself on Dan's lap. She relaxed herself as she stretched her out her legs before cradling her belly. "The baby's doing great, sweetheart. Though he's been kicking every so often. But as long as I eat healthy and take care of myself, me and the baby will be fine." She grabbed his hand. He seemed to have rougher skin then she did. Her pregnancy with Carly had a bit of complications when her due date got closer. But then again, Carly was her first child. The first pregnancy, for any woman, is usually unique because her body goes through a lot of changes so it can accommodate for the growing baby. The baby started kicking where her hand was, making her smile. "I guess he just really misses you." She mused before patting her belly and continuing to hold it.​
 
Anita

"I didn't think that far ahead," Anita admitted with a slight blush. "How does pizza sound? I bought some for later this weekend, but I think I want to make some chicken instead. It seems like a chicken kind of week." She picked up Kelsey and placed her on one of the chairs. "Do you want cheese pizza or pepperoni pizza, Kels?" She asked with a smile as she started pulling out the pizzas.

Helen
10 {Sept. 1} || Mapleton Elementary; 5th Grade || Andlar ||X
Helen nodded at the pizza suggestion. "Sounds good, Mom. Pepperoni for me, please," she turned to Ash as she sat down at the table and her mom started cooking. "I'd love to learn, but I don't think I'd be too good at it. I've never done anything like that."

"Nonsense," Anita said from the stove as she slid the pizzas in. "I did some barrel racing back when I was younger. That's actually how your father and I met, at a rodeo. I stopped after I got pregnant with Kelsey."

Helen didn't know that. She would've been too young at the time to remember it. "That's amazing, Mom. Why'd you never tell us that?"

"It never came up," Anita shrugged and placed her hands on Ash's shoulders and smiled at him lovingly. "It was a match made in heaven though."

Blythe laughed softly when he couldn't recall the name of the movie. "It's If I Stay though I also want to see The Fault in Our Stars," she told him as he wrapped his arm around her waist. She leaned into his warmth. With Mike, all of her troubles seemed to melt away. She could more or less forget everything that had happened in the past and only look towards the future. "You know she does, babe. She just calls you Mike because I do."

She placed a small kiss on his cheek, "I love you, you know."

"Look delicious, Tess," Sirius told her before digging in. He turned towards Maisy when she asked if she could come. "Sure you can come, if it's okay with your mommy. I can't do anything without Mommy letting me," he said teasingly, winking at Tessa.

Matt
39 {Oct. 3rd} || Owner of Fitzgerald Auto; Mechanic || Wife: Ashley || Hercules; Kriller || X
"I'm fine, hun," Matt responded to his wife's concerned comment. "I just had a lunch break." He smiled warmly at her. Sometimes, she reminded him so much of Lisbeth that it hurt. He loved Ashley just as much, but Lisbeth had a special place in his heart and she knew that. They didn't talk about her except on the anniversary of the day she died. That was one time Matt kept completely to himself, usually spending the day locked in his room. He suspected that Ashe had stayed outside his door the entire time. He was about to bend over the Jeep again when Winter walked in.

He listened to her patiently before wrapping an arm around Ashley's waist. He understood that Winter was having a hard time adjusting to having a stepmother, but she needed to accept the truth some day. "Sorry, Winter, but Ashe is here to stay. I still love your mother very much and I always will, but she would not want you to resent Ashley. She'd want you to accept her because that was the kind of woman your mother was. Now," he moved away from Ashley and kissed his daughter's forehead softly. "Now, let's get you something for you hangover. Okay, baby girl? I'll be right back, Ashe."

Before she could protest, he led her out of the garage and into the building's kitchen. Lisbeth had put it there long ago. He made Winter sit down and silently made her his own hangover remedy. "She's not here, Winter. You can cry if you want to," he told his youngest daughter quietly as he set the mug in front of her. "Do you want me to stay here with you?"

Noah

Noah climbed onto the back of Kyle's bike with his extra helmet gripped in her hand. She pulled it onto her head, grinning brightly. "Where to, Mysterious Biker?" she teased him, recalling back to one of the first times they had met. She had been hanging out with her friends in the back of the school when some kid on a motorcycle pulled up. She referred to him with the same nickname then. The memory made her smile a bit fondly.

Ben finished cleaning up his sister's mess when his twin came down. He sighed, "It's not a date, Winter." When she left, he looked at the text, a small smile on his face. Ollie yawned and sat up after Winter had left, "She has a point you know. You ain't too good at the whole 'picking up ladies' thing."

"It's not a date!" Ben went ahead and got changed. He swung Noah's room, grabbing her keys off her dresser and raced back downstairs. "See you later, little bro. Don't forget to do the dishes."

"That's Noah's chore."

"Do you really think she's going to do it?"

"Good point."

Ben nodded and hurried over to the park in Noah's truck. He spotted Timber by one of the trees and jumped out of the truck. "Whatcha doin', lazy bum?" he questioned in a teasing tone before leaning down to pet Alaska.

Oliver grumbled some obscenities under his breath and stood up. As he popped his back, he stared dully at the pile of dishes. Sometimes, he hated the fact that he was the youngest. He needed more friends... He sighed and grabbed the sponge, running it under warm water.

Acacia woke up from her nap and pushed herself up before scuffling down the stairs to make herself some tea. As usual, Thomas was already at work. She hoped he would be home soon. In fact... She picked up her phone, sending him a quick text to let him know that she was awake and missing him. She set it back down and placed the kettle on the stove. After grabbing a box of strawberries, she sat down on the couch and mindlessly watched television until her wonderful fiance responded. She sighed. Staying home was so boring.

She was looking forward to a comfortable weekend with them and planned on visiting Acacia later on in the week. "I'm home...?" Mela moved through the house until she found her boys taking off wet clothing. She smiled softly before saying. "Excuse me, sirs, but have you seen my family? They seem to be missing. I have two little boys about this high," she bent down to knee length before gesturing way above her head. "And their daddy is about this big. He's a grown man, you know."

Winter
16 {Nov. 19th} || Works Part Time as a step-mother assassin || Princess||
Winter balled her fists as her dads hand which once had given a ring to her mother snaked around the waist of the witch and kept on clenching and unclenching her fist as her father spoke about her mothers wishes she was about to
yell at him, to shout some sense into his head, to break the curse that Ashe had placed on him when he mentioned her mother winter nearly burst Into tears but instead gritted her teeth and kept her eyes from watering. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath but recoiled when her father planted a paternal kiss opun her forehead, Winter took a step back her face twisted into a grimace. She turned to leave the foul smelling workshop and the even fouler couple that resided in it, when her father gently but firmly led her into they kitchen. The kitchen that her real mother had built

Winter nestled into one of the oak mismatched chairs that littered the kitchen a small trail of hot air which came from the heater nestled around Winter her arms suddenly growing warm and her toes heating up inside her mosicain slippers. Winter glanced towards the door making sure it was closed before she turned back to her father as he made the magic cure that she knew all to well she looked around the kitchen and then stood up as she found what she was looking for.her small footsteps echoed around the room as she picked up the small framed picture of her best friend, her guardian, her mother she sat back down and picked up the hot mug of tea only registering her fathers second question but she looked into the warm blue eyes that shone through the glass and only then did she cry.

At first silent tears poured out of her eyes waves erupting onto the shore that was her face. The salty water rolled down her face creating odd patterns and art until they dried up and a fresh round appeared after what seemed like an eternity she relaxed into her fathers arms and began to choke out silently between tears "Why did she have to die, why wasn't it me, why was it the kindest woman on earth," she wiped her eyes and rested them on her father. "Ashe makes me feel cracked and useless, Noah's good with the cars and she has Kyle, Benji is a nerd and will be running the world someday, Ollie is funny and laughs all the time,You are so funny,smart and You, only ever grieve on the anniversary and Ashe is perfect, But I'm just a wreck. Do you know how hard is was in that anorexic place, do you know how hard it is knowing that everyone except you thinks I'm a Deliquent who just goes clubbing and gets drunk. And then Ashe comes in and she gets pregnant and she repairs all of your broken hearts but cracks mine open more". She sputtered out.

These confessions happened every two months or so when Wintee was about to burst. But afterwards everything would go back to normal, the drinking, and not eating the school or lack of it and the late nights and the boyfriends. But inside Winter wished she hadn't spiralled down the path she wished she could just spend all her time with her mother and family. But she was too far away now and most likely she would never come back to them fully.​

Ashe
29 {January 27th} || Part-Time Receptionist at Fitzgerald Auto || Food Allergies || Husband: Matt || Numerous Family Pets || X
Ashe continued to hold her belly when Matt replied. She gave him a warm smile when he acknowledged her concern. Her Husband was a hard worker. Since he had a Lunch Break, she didn't really mind, she took one two hours ago, since she gets hungry faster then everyone in her household thanks to her unborn offspring. Although she knew Matt loved her, Ashe knew that she couldn't replace his previous wife. On the Anniversary of her passing, Matt would lock himself up for the entire day and won't talk to anyone. Although Ashe understood, she was starting to think about having him take up therapy, because she already was thanks to Winter's Emotionally Abusive behavior towards her. Speak of the devil, the young lady had entered the garage and launched a few insults at her. Yes, Winter was still grieving her Mother's passing, but all of the anger and despair, Ashe felt, was practically being taken out on her. Ashe herself tried her best to put up with it, but if she continues to deal with it, things won't be pretty. Ashe was usually patient with people like Winter, but it was starting to wear thin since she already had enough to worry about, especially since she's pregnant and can practically give birth at any minute. When Matt put his arm around her waist, Ashe cradled her belly as she began looking at Winter. Then again, Winter was probably hung-over, seeing how she goes drinking almost every night. Still, most things she said to Ashe were very hurtful. However, if this was going to continue, Ashe would eventually fire back. As usual, Matt defended her from Winter's assaults and sadly it was a daily thing. One thing Ashe was thankful for was that Winter wasn't physically abusive towards her. Ashe watched as Matt attempted to sympathize with his daughter. Afterwards, Matt went to take Winter so they could talk privately. When he said he'd be back momentarily, she nodded as she gently caressed her belly. The baby may have picked up Winter's aggressive behavior towards her Mother. As soon as Matt closed the door, she looked down at her enlarged stomach and attempting to smile, but it failed. She sighed, "Not sure if I can take it anymore...But I'm starting to get fed up with it." She patted her stomach before walking into Matt's Office to grab her own personal Cellphone before returning back towards the Jeep that Matt had been fixing. She then texted her other Stepchildren. "Hey, not to put weight on your shoulders, but Winter went off on me again. I'm kinda getting sick of it. She already knows I don't need the stress. Now I want you to be honest with me. Do you feel like I am trying to replace your Mother?" She pressed send before keeping a hand underneath her stomach and looking towards the kitchen, setting her phone down next to Matt's Toolbox and resting her free hand on the counter to support her standing.

Lydia
28 {October 18th} || Rival Sweets || Panic Disorder || Husband: --TBA-- || Pets belong to the kids || X
Today, Lydia didn't have to go to work. She was working fulltime at Rival Sweets, but it wasn't super strenuous there or anything. Her Employer and Co-Workers knew that she was pregnant, not to mention she was far along. Half the time, if her eldest daughter Emma wasn't working, the teenage girl would spend most of the time pampering her Mother, which Lydia thought was cute. Since it was a Snow Day, Lydia didn't take the kids to school. With more time to rest, Lydia ended up taking a nap in the Living Room on the Couch. Because she was having a Nightmare, she woke up screaming for two seconds before take slow, deep breaths to relax herself. She started holding her swollen belly in a very protective matter as she took another deep breath and stretching out on the couch and gently caressing her belly and feeling the material of the dress that she wore, which was her favorite. "Sorry honey, Mommy had a bad dream." she blinked twice before taking yet another deep breath. She then saw Emma rushing down the stairs and then pulling up a chair to sit next to her. "Oh, hey Emma, sorry I yelled. I had another bad dream."
Emma
16 {February 7th} || Pizza Kitchen || Crush: Ben Fitzgerald || Sam || X
Since today was a Snow-Day, Emma didn't know what to do since she didn't have school or anything. She pretty much woke up early for nothing and it is hard for her to fall back asleep when she was already wide awake. After pretty much readying herself for the day, Emma spent most of her morning finishing up any incomplete homework as well as feeding her pet Tarantula. She also started wondering what Ben, the boy she had a crush on at school, was up to. However, taking care of her pregnant mother was more important then anything else to her. Even her Grades and her Job became secondary priorities. When she heard yelling from downstairs, Emma burst out of her room and ran downstairs. This was a somewhat routine thing, since her Mother had Panic Disorder, however she was very patient and gentle with her Mother, who meant the world to her. As soon as she got downstairs, she pulled up a chair and sat by her mother, who was holding her belly and looked pale, she was even sweating a bit and was breathing a bit heavily. When her Mother apologized for startling her, Emma only responded with a warm smile and shook her head. "Its okay, just relax. If you stress, its bad for the baby." She cooed her mother and did her best to calm her down. She started by stroking her Mother's hair before gently caressing the ever-growing belly and then giving it a quick kiss before feeling her forehead. Nothing made Emma more happy then her Mother's smile. A couple minutes later, she started giving Lydia a back-rub to ease the backache that she had to deal with pretty much everyday. Emma also even did chores, looked after her younger siblings, even taking on a Part-Time Job at the Pizza Store.

With no school, after taking his daily dose of his prescription medication, Drake decided to hang out in his room. Although he heard his Mom scream, Drake couldn't do much since he was feeling a bit sleepy thanks to his meds. Normally, his big sister was the one taking care of Mommy anyway. Since all his Homework was done, he decided to practice with the Guitar that Emma got for him for his Birthday. He did his best to keep the noise to a minimal so he wouldn't make too much noise.​

Linda
9 {September 5th} || Hair Salon || Snow || X
Since there was no School today, little Linda decided to go ahead to the Hair Salon that afternoon. For $30 a day, she just swept up hair for the stylists. She had spent her early morning practicing with her Violin for band class. When not sweeping up hair, Linda just read a book that she purchased at the book store last weekend. With all the snow around, Customers weren't flocking in like any other day. So she had more time to relax then sweep hair.

Camilla

With the day off, Camilla spent her morning practicing with her Flute. Everyone in the Gilcrest Family was quite talented. Mom used to play Basketball, Drake plays Guitar, Linda plays the Violin and Emma can sing. With all her homework finished, Camilla just spent her afternoon playing with her pet cat, whom she adopted recently. The cat loved cuddling with her, it seemed. Rudy was such a gentleman. Most polite cat ever. When she started petting him, he started purring. Rudy loved Camilla and she seemed to smother him.

Just another day at work for Terri. Although she had one more year at the Orphanage before aging out, she was also expecting her first child. Although she was going to marry her boyfriend, Lewis, but he died in a Car Accident with a Drunk Driver back in the Spring, both drivers died. In hopes of saving up to support herself once she inherits her parents' house, which was next year, Terri took up a job as a Hair Stylist, though it is getting increasing difficult due to her ever-growing belly. However, she was still one of the best stylists in town. With the little girl, Linda, helping around the Shop in the afternoons and partial evenings, Terri felt much more relieved. Even though she was pregnant, she was still dedicated to her Job. She enjoyed styling hair. Linda got it for free since she was helping by sweeping up hair. Customers were very patient with her because of her delicate condition. Though it was tough to stand for a long period of time, so after every couple of haircuts, she takes fifteen minute brakes and leaves it up to the other stylists in the salon.​

Taking a sip of his coffee, Connor nodded slowly at his friend's every comment, of course, he was barely listening to it as usual. ".. And then she just turned around and walked away! Who the fuck does that!" Kevin yelled, "Hey bro, keep it down well ya? People are looking." Connor kicked him under the table, "Dude, my girlfriend — ex-girlfriend came to me with another guy, told me that she loves him, and want to break up with me after cheating on me for like what? Four years? Does it look like I care about other people looking at me?" Kevin slammed his fist against the table, "Alright man, chill, just chill. Look, you'r e a really cool guy, I mean, think of yourself as the hottest girl in school, and anything with a male part wants you." Connor placed down his cup and said. "I'm the hot girl?" Kevin asked with a questioning look on his face, "The hottest." Connor looked dead serious, "Ok, we done now? I only have a couple of days of holiday, I don't want to spend everyday listening to that story." He stood up and stretched his arm, "Right, right, I won't keep you then, go ahead, be free!" Kevin said in a dramatic tone. "Adios amigo." Connor waved goodbye and left the café.

The cold breeze reminded Connor that it was still winter, sighing, he slowly wrapped his scarf around his neck and headed to the nearest grocery store.
