Gen. 2: Baby 29: Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting!

I got a call this morning that Illena gave birth to her baby, a little girl she named Genevieve.


In my house, Kaylee is trying to make a little extra money by baby-sitting...as much as she enjoys children, when she baby-sits for Betty Lopez.  I don't think she likes it too much.  She keeps complaining that the kid is a brat.

Meanwhile, I am on the search for a new baby daddy...


I go to a party, but the only men here are old baby daddies...so I head to a bar...


There are lots of men here, and the first one I see is Aaron Hotchner...a colleague/friend of Derek Morgan's.  I'll have to think about it, but he looks a little angry...


The bartender is a vampire...hmmm...vampire babies might be cool...


The next guy I see is Jason Gideon, another friend of Derek's...he looks like he's studying everything...geez...


I am about to give up before I see a familiar face...it's Caleb Sky, another challenge kid from Melody Sky's baby challenge.  Remember me talking about Jenna Sky before?  That's her mother.


Bonnie: Hey!  What brings you here?
Caleb: Who?  Me?  Oh...sorry, just looking around for anything suspicious, that's all...
Bonnie: I don't think you have to worry...this place is crawling with FBI agents...


Bonnie: Um, anyway...well, I actually have a proposition for you...
Caleb: Oh?  What would that be?
Bonnie: You do recognize me, right?  I'm Hadley Reed's daughter...your mom's Melody, right?
Caleb: Oh, yes, I remember my mother speaking very fondly of Hadley.  What can I do for you?


Bonnie: Well, I was wondering...um...I actually am doing my own baby challenge...and...
Caleb: You'd like me to be a part of it?
Bonnie: Yes...if that isn't weird.
Caleb: Of course not, I think we're immune to weird, being children from challenge mothers.
Bonnie: That's probably true...so...that's a...
Caleb: Yes, of course I'd be happy to help.


So we head back to my house and get more comfortable, if you get me...but then Caleb has to leave.


The next day brings normalcy: paying bills...


My resident geeks are working on their own special geeky things...robots and potions...*sigh*


Of course, just as soon as I make dim sum for lunch, I get a case of the pukes....grrrrreat...


Today is birthday day for the oldest triplets, so I relish the last day I have with them.  We eat lunch together and then all go do our own thing.


Kaylee works out in front of the TV...


Bryce goes back to his robots...


...and Wyatt paints...


Soon it's time to age up.  Kaylee gives me a tearful look.
Kaylee: I'm going to miss you mommy.
Bonnie: I'll miss you too baby, but it'll be okay, we'll see each other again.


Kaylee ages into a beautiful young woman with dreams of becoming a writer.


Wyatt ages up, still doesn't grow any hair, and wants to be a ghost hunter.


Bryce, my little odd ball wants to be an inventor, no surprise there, really.


That night as I went to clean the animal cages, I noticed that our pet turtle wasn't moving.  Upon closer examination, I realized that he was dead.


Jasmine, Rayanne, and I mourned the loss together.

Of course, my work never stops...soon it was time to age up the next set of triplets.


Camila is an adorable beauty with big brown eyes.


She loves playing with her dolls.


Harper has darker hair but lighter skin even though she and Camila look a lot alike.


Trinity is my oddball with blue eyes and red hair...it seems I always have an oddball kid...


Everything is going fine until my labor kicks in...yikes, this shiz never stops hurting!


But it isn't long before I welcome into the world Baby 29: Qai

Another boy!

Gen. 2: Babies 26, 27, & 28: Starships Were Meant to Flyyyyy!


Since I'm a quarter of the way done with my challenge, I decide to treat myself...


I get a new hair color and style...it's going to take some getting used to, but I like it.


Since they're all making A's, I age the triplets up.  Kaylee is a beautiful, sweet, and helpful girl.


Wyatt is your typical "dude"...


Bryce is just weird...


All my kids get along with each other surprisingly well.  Some of them have more patience for the young ones than I do.


They also hang close together in school.  Kaylee is the only daughter I have that is in school right now, but her brothers are protective of her, even Kaden.


Next, the twins age up.  Jasmine looks a lot like me with my original hair color and eye color.


She is fun-loving and a bit shy.


Rayanne is also a mini-me...I wonder if they're identical, but only time will tell.


Rayanne: Oooh, ga-go-bee!


Jasmine: *squeal* gabba monkey weeeeee!

It's nice to see my girls getting along so early!  Hehe.


I was just getting some housework done when I got a knock on the door.  It was this guy by the name of Hugh Kidding...no joke.
Hugh: Hear you're looking for fathers in your baby challenge...
Bonnie: Yeah, I am...are you interested?
Hugh: Hugh would be happy to help you out.
Bonnie: Uh...ok...


So the next baby daddy is Hugh Kidding...he has dark brown eyes and hair...and he's very full of himself.


I have never been so happy to get rid of one of these fathers...I hope cockiness isn't hereditary!


After we hear a lullaby, I send Mr. Kidding on his merry little way and start working with the twins on their skills.  I was teaching Jasmine how to walk when I got a phone call.


I couldn't believe my caller ID.
Bonnie: Hello?
Illena: Bonnie...hey, it's Illena.
Bonnie: Uh, hey, what's up?
Illena: Well, I was wondering if I could come over there and visit you...
Bonnie: Why?
Illena: Well, turns out I'm pregnant...
Bonnie: *raise eyebrow, thank karma gods*
Illena: What?  Jealous?


Bonnie: Are you nuts Illena?  I have 25 children...why would I be jealous?
Illena: Well, I guess you have to have that many to get a good one...this baby is going to be perfect, I'm sure of it...
Bonnie: Did anyone ever tell you that talking to you is a lot like banging their head against a brick wall repeatedly?
Illena: That was mean...
Bonnie: Bang, bang, bang...hear that?
Illena: Okay, sis, I need your help...please?
Bonnie: *sigh* Fine, come on over here.


When Illena gets to my house, she isn't showing, so she must have just found out.
Bonnie: So who's the daddy?
Illena: That's classified.
Bonnie: Classified?  Please don't tell me it's a senator or something...
Illena: No, Bonnie...by classified, I mean it's none of your business and I don't wish to discuss it.
Bonnie: Well gee, you could have just said that...


Illena: Ugh, you're impossible...
Bonnie: Right back at you...
Illena: I don't even know why I came here...
Bonnie: Beats me...of course, I'm probably the only person you know who's had a baby, right?
Illena: Well, there's mom...but...
Bonnie: Yeah...don't want to freak her out...and she won't remember anyway...
Illena: So I guess there's just you...look, I won't repeat this, and I'll deny it if anyone ever asks, but I'm sure you're a good mother...you were always really maternal...so I guess I just want to do this right.


I don't know what has come over me as I reach out for my intolerable sister and give her a hug.  Maybe it was the compliment.
Bonnie: I'm sure you'll be fine.


Illena: I'm sure I will...I just want some pointers, I guess.

So Illena and I talk, for a lot longer than we ever have.  I tell her everything I know about motherhood and she actually listens.


God help me, I actually think she's smiling...could Illena be turning over a new leaf?


Of course it doesn't last long...she flies off the handle and starts yelling at me.


Bonnie: Illena, calm down...you have to relax...
Illena: I don't have to do anything!
Bonnie: Would you chill the hell out?  Geez, and we were making so much progress.
Illena: I don't even know why I came here.

With that, she storms out...I swear I think she's bipolar.


The next day brings more skill building and birthdays for my twin boys!


Cole is an equestrian with dreams of becoming a jockey.


Leo is on a quest for a perfect mind and perfect body.  He has always been the more serious one...


I guess I can't fault Illena too much...angry pregnancy hormones get the best of me sometimes too...

As Kaylee and Bryce work on their homework, Jasmine starts crying.
Kaylee: Bryce, can you go over there and see what's wrong with her?  I'm in the middle of this problem...
Bryce: Ok, whatever...


I walk out just as I see Jasmine screaming and Bryce holding her...I don't know why, but I get really annoyed.


Bonnie: What did you do to her?  
Bryce: Nothing...I...I...
Bonnie: She wouldn't be crying like that unless you did something to her.
Kaylee:  Mom, chill out...she was crying and he went over and picked her up...
Bonnie: Oh, um...ok...well, keep her quiet.
Bryce: No problem Mom.

Thankfully, Bryce forgives me as we get ready to celebrate Kaden's birthday!


He is an attractive looking teenager with wolf hair and sleepy eyes...I'm sure he'll make the girls go wild!


Bryce and Kaden get along because they're both a little weird...


Wyatt gets along best with the cat...


Next, Jasmine and Rayanne age up.  This is Jasmine...she looks a lot like me except her skin is a little lighter...


Rayanne's skin may be a tad darker than Jasmine's, but other than that, they're pretty much identical.


By the final day of my pregnancy, I have gotten so huge, I can barely walk...check this tummy out!


Finally, I go into labor...oh boy, this one is going to be a hard one...I can feel it.


I hate it when I'm right about this stuff...of course, I guess I have good reason...


Meet Baby 26: Camila Reed


Her sister, Baby 27: Harper Reed


and Baby 28: Trinity Reed...

Another set of triplets!  Ahhh!  Damn that Hugh Kidding!
