Gen. 2: Babies 49 & 50 Pt. 2: More Babies, as Usual

On my list of favorite ways to be woken up, being serenaded by the cat makes...okay, it doesn't make the list at all...ugh.

I am awoken not only by our cat, but by the fumes of a dirty house, three infants with dirty diapers, and spoiled milk.  Ugh.  There must be a stray bottle around here somewhere.

When I venture into the living room, I see that Spencer Reid is still here.  Hmm, this gives me a great idea!

BONNIE: Hey Spence, do you think you can do me a favor?

SPENCER: Of course, anything...

BONNIE: How about tidying up around here...I wouldn't ask, but...

SPENCER: Say no more!  I would be glad to help!

I send him on his way.  Ha!  That was easy enough!

Well, at least I thought so.  When I catch up with him, he has abandoned the idea of cleaning and picked up the game console.  Damn man child!

I let him play for a little bit longer and then he tells me he has to leave.

At least I'm getting some more help...it's Eljavon's birthday!

He is handsome as can be, looking a lot like me, but still with the light brown hair.  I wonder where he got that from?

Because I waited forever, my two over-achieving girls, Niyah and Tanison are eligible to age up as well.

Niyah is a proper young lady with pigtails and pearls.  She looks more like me, but she wears glasses.

Tanison ages up to be a little adventurer.  She still looks a lot like her father, Jason Gideon.

I also age up the triplets!

Rieba looks just like me, but she has aqua eyes and magenta hair!  Hmm, those are some odd genetics Aqua  Coral has!

Adara is my only triplet that has berry skin.  She has dark blue and also blue eyes with black hair.  She looks a lot like her father.

Emeri looks a lot like her father as well...except she does not get the berry coloring.  She also has black hair and green eyes.  Green?  Where did that come from?

The first skill I work on with the triplets is potty training...it's by far my least favorite, but it beats having to change diapers all day.

Adara and Emeri learn quickly.

But when it's Rieba's turn, she refuses to get on the potty chair, which makes her soil her diaper.

Tani can apparently smell it all the way from her room.

TANI: Ugh!  Mom!  What is that foul smell?

BONNIE: What?

TANI: Ewwww!  Gross!  How many kids have pooped in that thing?

BONNIE: I don't want to hear it.  Almost fifty kids have pooped in this thing, FYI, and you weren't any different.

TANI: Yeah, whatever.

Hmph.  I hate teenagers sometimes.

Meanwhile, Rieba is having a meltdown.  *Groan* More diaper duty!

I get Rieba cleaned up and give all three girls dinner bottle before heading outside to see Taber and Zivah age up!

Taber is a handsome guy that will make a great father in baby challenges with his blue skin and multi-colored hair (hint, hint!).  Ever the scholar, he wants to be a Descendant of DaVinci.

Even though she never overcame her weight problem, Zivah is beautiful with a charming smile and pretty eyes.  She is the artsy one and wants to have a Golden Tongue and Golden Fingers.

The next morning, my baby bump shows up, just in time for Adara to wake me up.  She is by far the loudest of the three girls.

ADARA: MOMMMMMMMYYYYYYYY!

BONNIE: Take a chill pill, girl!

Her sisters are resting peacefully...or they were until she wakes them up with her screaming.

I thank the heavens once again for these swings because I put the girls in them after breakfast and they go right to sleep!

Sleep time for them means food time for Mommy.  I have no idea how long they will be asleep, so I just heat up some leftover spaghetti.  It makes my preggo belly go "mmm!" anyway!

Check out my cute bump!

Later in the day, the advanced stages of my pregnancy are getting to me, so I go to sleep, leaving Niyah, Tani, and Von in charge of the toddlers.

Tanison even has time for a quick jog...I'm not sure how she managed that...

...okay, I do know...she leaves Niyah in charge of the girls.

While she's not watching the babies, she works on laundry and indoor chores.

And Von works on the garden outside.

Very early the next morning, everyone is sleeping, except for...

Me...and the new babies, whom would like to make an appearance.

Welcome to the Reed family,

Baby 49: Rione (the boy on the right)

Baby 50: Adovie (the girl on the left)

Gen. 2: Babies 49 & 50 Pt. 1: Private Eyes and Profilers

Brendon's tone kind of worries me, but I tell him I have to get my new babies settled before I can go anywhere.  He understands, so I get off the phone with him to tend to my girls.

Even though triplets are typically a handful, these three seem pretty sweet right now.  Of course, being only hours old, they have only just begun to drive me crazy.

I get them all settled in swings and get to work on household things...

First things first, I haven't sculpted in FOREVER, so I thought I would give it a shot for a bit.  I don't really get very far when I get a phone call...

BRENDAN: Hey gorgeous!

BONNIE: Hi there, handsome!

BRENDAN: So when are we going to get together?

BONNIE: Impatient are we?

BRENDAN: Yeah, well...I just...miss you.

BONNIE: Aww, sweetie, I miss you too.  

BRENDAN: So when can we meet?

BONNIE: Hmm, let me check on the girls and set up a sitter, and I'll meet you...where should we go?

BRENDAN: How about the movie theater?  We can catch a show...

So Brendan and I plan to meet at the theater.  I wonder what he wants to talk to me about.

Turns out he doesn't beat around the bush when we get together.  He wants to go right into the chit-chat.

BRENDAN: I really like you, you know that, right?

BONNIE: Of course, I really like you too...

BRENDAN: Well...I've got something to tell you...and ask you...

BONNIE: Okay...

BRENDAN: I would like nothing more than to ask you to be my girlfriend, but in order to do that, I want to be honest with you...

BONNIE: Um..okay...

BRENDAN: Have you ever wondered how I already seem to know everything about you?  Like your phone number...and where you live...and that you are a challenge mother?

BONNIE: Well, yeah...but...I don't know, I never really thought about it.

BRENDAN: Okay...it's actually because...I'm not really a maid.

BONNIE: Umm...okay...then what are you?

BRENDAN: I have been here working on an undercover job with my employers back in Lucky Palms.

BONNIE: What?!  Why didn't you tell me?

BRENDAN: I'm sorry...I couldn't...I couldn't compromise my case...my employers are...pretty hardcore...

BONNIE: Hardcore meaning...?

BRENDAN: They're kind of...um...rough...if I reveal too much....

BONNIE: Are you working for the government or something?

This makes him laugh.  Hmm, okay, and why is this funny?

BRENDAN: No, nothing like that...quite the opposite, actually.

BONNIE: You are confusing me...

BRENDAN: Well, who they are isn't really important...just that...well...would you want to be my girlfriend?

BONNIE: Of course...

BRENDAN: Here's the thing...I'm going to have to be going back to Lucky Palms...

BONNIE: For how long?

BRENDAN: Awhile...

BONNIE: Brendan!!

BRENDAN: I'm sorry babe, I just...didn't expect to fall for you...

BONNIE: So that makes things better?

BRENDAN: I'm sorry...I've...relationships have been hard for me...

BONNIE: They've been hard on me too, but lying never helps anything.

BRENDAN: I know, and I really am sorry...

BONNIE: I don't know if repeating that over and over again is helping.

BRENDAN: I know...look, I just...I want you to think about going back with me to Lucky Palms.

BONNIE: WHAT?!  I can't do that...

BRENDAN: You won't even think about it?

BONNIE: I can't abandon my life...my challenge...

BRENDAN: I'm not asking you to.  Just to move to a different place...you can have a house there...

BONNIE: I don't know...

BRENDAN: Look, just...come back with me for the weekend...and make up your mind that way..

BONNIE: I don't know, I'm going to have to think about it...

BRENDAN: Okay, well, think about it...Bonnie, you are so special...and you mean so much to me...I would hate to lose you...

BONNIE: You won't...

BRENDAN: I've...I've had my heart broken before...it isn't something I want to experience again...

BONNIE: No one likes getting their heart broken...

BRENDAN: Especially not me...

BONNIE: Okay, I'll make a deal with you.  I'll promise to be careful with your heart if you are careful with mine...

BRENDAN: *smiles* Deal.

MEANWHILE, BACK AT HOME...

*ZIVAH'S POV*

When we get home from school, Mom is out and there's a baby-sitter watching the girls.  I send him on his way as we all work on our homework, scrounge up some dinner and take care of the little ones.  Of course, Eljavon is being a pain as usual.

ELJAVON: I'm so tired...

ZIVAH: So go to bed.

ELJAVON: You're not the boss of me!  I can go to bed whenever I want!

ZIVAH: I might not be your boss, but Mom is, and she's a phone call away...

ELJAVON: *yawning* You wouldn't call her...

ZIVAH: I would in a heartbeat.

ELJAVON: Awww...sis, come on.

ZIVAH: Don't "aww, sis" me.  Go upstairs and take a shower and go to bed.

ELJAVON: I have to shower?!

ZIVAH: Did I stutter?

Thankfully, he shuffles upstairs eventually.  Ugh.  Kids.  I don't know if I'll ever want any after having to deal with my younger siblings.

At least I have Taber to help me with the babies.  Where in the heck is Mom tonight?

*BONNIE'S POV*

After the movie, I am heading home when I see a familiar face.

It's Jesse Everard, another challenge kid from Skye Everard's baby challenge!

BONNIE: Hey stranger!

JESSE: Hey hot stuff!  Fancy seeing you here!  I was just going to call you...

BONNIE: Awesome!  What's been going on with you?

JESSE: Oh, you know, same old, same old.  I was wanting to see if you needed a challenge father any time soon...

BONNIE: Me?  Always!  Do you want to participate?

JESSE: That was going to be the idea...

BONNIE: Hmm, well, give me a call and we'll set it up...

JESSE: Will do!

Before I can get home, nature calls and need to find a bathroom stat...so...I head into a little hole in the wall bar.

And run into none other than Spencer Reid...that friend of Derek Morgan's I talked about before...

SPENCER: Bonnie!  I was just looking for you!  I was wondering if you need a challenge father right now?  I would l-l-love to be a part...

He stutters through his speech...he's super smart and according to Derek really cool, but I just don't see it...

BONNIE: Uh, yeah...sure...

SPENCER: Great!  When?  Are you pregnant now?  Do you...want to...?

BONNIE: Um...yeah...let me just...freshen up...and we can go back to my place...

SPENCER: Fantastic!  I'll wait here...

BONNIE: Great.

So I leave him at the bar while I hit the ladies room.  Whew, can't a girl get a break?

Spencer drives and I think he's nervous because he keeps shaking and making random comments.

BONNIE: Are you okay?

SPENCER: W-who?  Me...y-y-yes, of course...

BONNIE: You know, we don't have to do this the old fashioned way...if you want to go to the clinic, they can handle it there...

SPENCER: N-no-n-no, that's okay.  I-I-I'll be fine.

BONNIE: Okay...

Thankfully he actually is.  He's obviously inexperienced, but I guess I just assumed that already.  Either way, by the end of the night, I am pregnant with my next baby.

Gen. 2: Babies 8-9 Pt. 2: Little Girls, Little Girls

So Mr. Hottie has to jump up and leave in the middle of the night...mumbling something about unsubs...but he did say that he's going to get hold of some friends of his and maybe they would be interested in contributing...I'm trying really hard to not think of those kinds of comments as their way of saying, "Hey, you were cool, so I'm gonna pass you along to my friends."  

My morning sickness the next morning, right on the dot.  I really can't stand this part, but I know it's good for a healthy baby, blah, blah, blah.

While I'm upchucking, I have Aaliyah at the door yelling, "Mom!  Can you age me up now!  Please now!"

Please now?!  What kinda...?  Ugh...never mind.

"Sure," I reply between barfs, "give me just a second."

Aaliyah grows up to be a pretty teenager with my hair color.

Of course my morning sickness continues throughout the day...damn Derek Morgan and his potent seed!

Of course, I get attitude from Aaliyah.
"Ewwwww, Mom!  Don't aim toward me while you're fully loaded," she cringes.

I'm tempted, really tempted...but I don't.  I'm pretty sure that form of parenting lies somewhere between negligent and abusive...

Either way, I need to fish today so I leave Aaliyah with the babies.

I'm really getting into fishing and I have actually caught a lot...it's pretty zen for me.  I'm really glad I haven't found the smell of fish nauseating yet...you would think otherwise, considering there are so many women that have issues, but I actually enjoy it.

While I'm out, I start showing.
I would really like a boy considering both my boys have moved out, but I will be happy with either.

When I get home, I head straight to bed...the girls are all tucked in nicely.  Aaliyah turns out to be a good baby-sitter.

The next couple days are filled with skill building for the little ones...

...and homework for the school-aged children.  Maddie and Giselle want to catch up with their big sister, so they are working hard on their studies so they can age up soon.

Pregnancy Day 3 and I'm ready to burst...I love this top I found recently...it's so cute and perfect for a little pregnant lady...or a huge pregnant lady in my case.

It's the weekend, so I hurry to the kitchen and make waffles for breakfast.

I sit down with Madeline and Giselle...
"Are the waffles good, girls?" I ask.
Two stuffed faces give me a chorus of "Delicious!  Awesome!"
I'm really lucky I don't get waffle chunks all over me...serves me right I suppose.

"Do you think you girls are going to be ready for birthdays today?" I ask them.
That gets more excited squeals than my waffles...
Maddie starts, "I can't wait to become a teenager...I want to fall in love, and kiss boys..."
"Whoa, whoa," I start, "I know you're going to kiss boys, but can we keep the telling Mom part to a minimum?  At least until you need to get on The Pill?"
Maddie looks confused, "What pill?  Like asprin?"
"No...never mind.  What about you, Giselle?"
"I don't want to be around any of those stinky boys...but I do want to go to join the Drama club...that will be so fun."

My two daughters..something else..

When they get done eating, they go outside to the front porch where the easel and telescope are...and apparently a couple of cats have taken up residence.

"Mom!" Giselle squeals, "Can we keep them?"
"I'm not getting anything else I have to feed babe, sorry," I tell her.
"Aw man," I hear, but she gets over it quickly.

Since Liliana and Evelyn are also ready to age up, I order four birthday cakes and get everyone ready.

Madeline goes first.

"What are you going to wish for?" I ask.
She thinks, "I want boys to like me."
Without missing a beat, Aaliyah says, "Wish for boobs!"
I shoot her a look, but it's too late.
"Okay!" Maddie says, "I wish for boobs...bigger than Allie's."
Aaliyah looks shocked, "What a minute..."
"You asked for it," I tell her.

Well, Madeline gets boobs, just like all the girls do, but I think they're the same size as Aaliyah's...I guess a compromise.
She dresses in this slutty school girl outfit...Note to self: Take Madeline to doctor for The Pill.

I am almost afraid to ask what Giselle wants to be, but she tells me before I can ask.
"I wish to be a superstar!"
Just don't put your fingers in your pits and smell them...

She grows up with long, luxurious locks, but still looks a lot like me.

Then it's time for the toddlers...

Liliana grows up to be beautiful, as I knew she would be.

Aaliyah helps with Evelyn.

"Look at that cake, Evie!" she says.

Evelyn is beautiful too, but a little awkward...this picture was caught right after she was caught licking her plate...okay, I had a child that liked licking his hand, now one that licks plates...

Of course, because it's a birthday, I go into labor...what is it about these kids wanting to be born when there's cake around?  Oh...wait, that's it, right?

After yelling, huffing, and puffing, then pushing, I give birth to a beautiful baby girl...

But then...

I give birth to...another baby girl...

Meet the new additions of the Reed Family: 

Baby 8: Lucy Reed
