Gen. 2: Babies 11 & 12: Keeping Up With the all the Kids!


Evelyn: Sis, look!  I can balance my pencil on my nose!
Liliana: Evie, can you please focus on our homework?  Mom's gonna be mad at us...and we're not going to be able to age up.
Evelyn: Whatever...I don't know why you're so anxious to age up...
Liliana: You actually like being a child?
Evelyn: Yeah, sure...
Liliana: You would...
Evelyn: What's that supposed to mean?
Liliana: You figure it out.


While the girls do their homework, I actually have time for housework...and I'm happy about it...what's wrong with me?  Ugh, yup, I'm definitely a mother.  I realize that's an odd thing to say for a mother of ten, but it us what it is.


After they get homework done, Evelyn and Liliana run off to play a little before bed.  When I call Lili inside, she comes up holding a gray squirrel.
Lili: Mom, can I keep him?
Bonnie: A squirrel??
Lili: Yeah, he's cute, isn't he?
Bonnie: Well...uh, yeah...but...
Lili: Please mom? *puppy dog face...can't resist*
Bonnie: Okay...fine...just put him in a cage, okay?


I have more to worry about anyway.  It's time for Chelsea and Lucy to age up!


Chelsea grows up to with the brave trait and likes to dress up like a sheriff.  I think her father has some influence on her!


Lucy grows up with the brave trait as well, but she's not as much of a tomboy.


The next day, all the girls are off to school and I only have Mackenzie in the house.
Bonnie: What do you think about going fishing today, Kenz?
I get a giggle and take that as a yes.


We head to the waterfall to do some fishing.  While I'm talking to Mackenzie I notice a paparazzo watching us.


His name is Tad Chance and he definitely has some interesting genetics!  Looks like I've found my next baby daddy!

That night, it's birthday time!


Mackenzie looks a lot like me but has her father's coloring and hair.


Liliana is gorgeous...


...and so is Evelyn...and they both know it...I feel like I'm living with a couple of The Kardashians.

Over the weekend, the house can seem really crowded with two teenagers, two children, and a toddler in the house, so what is my remedy?  Put everyone to work!


First, they eat breakfast, then it's time for chores!  Children = slave labor!  Woo-hoo!  Hehe.


They make beds...


Take the trash out...


Clean bathrooms...


Garden...


...clean toilets...



...while I keep busy with Mackenzie.


After chores are done, the girls hang out around the house while I work on dinner.



I have to say that I'm very pleased with how well this bunch gets along.  It's nice.


At least for the most part...
Liliana: Chels!  I'm gonna kill you!
Chelsea: How do you know I put dye in your shampoo?
Liliana: You just told me, nimrod!


At the end of a long day, I buy a hot tub to soak in along with the older girls.


Bonnie: Ahhhh, this is the life.


Evelyn: You have to be careful getting into these things with boys, Lili.
Liliana: Why?
Evelyn: 'Cuz their little spermies can live in hot tubs and get you pregnant.
Lili gasps: Seriously?
I don't even look up to address this one.
Bonnie: No.
Evelyn: It's true!  I heard it!
Bonnie: From where?
Evelyn: It happened to a friend of mine's cousin.
Bonnie: It's always a friend of a friend...
Evelyn: No seriously!
Bonnie: That's an urban legend hon.  Trust me, you cannot get pregnant from hot tubs.
Lili: Well, unless you get it on in a hot tub.
Bonnie: Why am I having this conversation with the two of you?
Eve: Isn't it nice that we feel comfortable enough to talk to you about this stuff?
Bonnie: Not really, no.
Eve just shrugs and continues to soak.

*Sigh* Teenage girls.


The next morning, I fix waffles for all my girls.


Then it's time for Mackenzie's birthday!


Her sisters are really excited for her...and for cake!  Haha!


Mackenzie grows up looking a whole lot like me in the face and a lot like her father as far as coloring goes.


Of course, because it's a birthday, I go into labor.


Think happy thoughts!  Like beaches and sunsets!  Ahhh, that shiz doesn't work!

Soon enough though...


I give birth to Baby 11: Bella Reed


...and Baby 12: Miranda Reed.

Two more girls...what in the...?

Gen. 2: Baby 10: Prepare to Be Amazed!

***AUTHORS NOTE: THE CHILDREN LOOK SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY ARE REMAKE CHILDREN...I TRIED TO GET THEM AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE***

Aaliyah, Madeline, and Giselle age up faster than I thought they were going to.


Aaliyah looks a lot like her father, but she has my hair.  Her skin looks like it might even have a purple tint to it.  She's not sure what she wants to do with her life, but she kind of wants to work with animal rescue.


Madeline is a blonde but witty fashionista.  She has aspirations of becoming a stylist.


Giselle is my first mini-me, down to her hair color.  She's Ms. Personality...she wants to be an actress.


I'm still busy with Lucy and Chelsea, because they're still infants, and Liliana and Evelyn, I am anxious to continue with my challenge.

I am about to hit up the sperm bank like my mother did before I get a phone call from Jenna Sky, a fellow  challenge mother.  She's also the product of a baby challenge herself.  Her family legacy is very fascinating...but anyway...back to our phone conversation:

Bonnie: What's new with you, Jenna?
Jenna: Well, I was calling because I have a proposition for you.  I know you're doing the baby challenge and I also know how hard it is to find fathers...
Bonnie: Tell me about it...
Jenna: So I thought I would suggest my son, Devlin.  He is about to move out on his own, but he wants to take part in a challenge or two before he embarks on his career as a magician.
Bonnie: Chip off the old block? (Jenna and her mother, Melody, are natural born witches)
Jenna: So it seems...at any rate, would you be interested in using him as a father?
Bonnie: Sure...I guess I don't have to ask if he's cute...he has the Sky genes, right?
Jenna: *laughs* Of course...
Bonnie: Well, thank you...I know you're only using berry fathers, but if I happen to have any berry sons, I'll send them your way if you'd like...so far I have had mostly daughters and any berry blood has been recessive.
Jenna: Thank you, I'll keep that in mind...but I have to say that I wish I could have your kind of luck...with having daughters that is.

We chat for a few more minutes and make arrangements for Devlin to come to Legacy Island.


True to form, Devlin Sky is a handsome young man with very interesting genetics.  He has bright purple skin and the most interesting blue hair I've ever seen.


We got right down to baby making...and heard the tell-tale lullaby on the first try.  Woo-hoo!


While he was here, he entertained the girls with little magic tricks.  They loved it.

After Devlin leaves, it's time to age up Lucy and Chelsea.


Chelsea has dark brown hair and brown eyes.  She looks a lot like her father and laughs at only the slightest provocation.


Lucy's wide blue eyes are always looking around, as if to take everything in as carefully as possible.


Since I have saved up enough money, I am able to buy some playground equipment, including a tree house.  That should keep the little monsters busy!


Lucy is turning out to be the more vocal of the two.
Bonnie: Lucy can you say bottle?
Nothing.
Bonnie: Can you say sippy?
Nothing.
Bonnie: Shoo, mommy needs some coffee...
Lucy: Coffee!
Bonnie: Seriously?  No bottle, no sippy...but you get coffee?
Lucy: Coffee!  Coffee!  Coffee!

Crap...maybe I have a future writer on my hands?


I'm beginning to think so...she always says the craziest things.

Lucy: Mommy, you're pretty...
Bonnie: Thank you honey.
Lucy: Your welcome.  Can I have a cookie?
Bonnie: I already told you no.
Bonnie: *gets mad* I lied.  You're not pretty...and I think you're getting hippy.

Where the hell does she get this stuff?


My other daughters are just as quirky, as I am reminded at dinner time.

Liliana: Mom, I'm hungry...can I have some leftover cake?


Bonnie: Dinner is almost ready Lili...you can wait.
Liliana: What are we having?
Bonnie: Spaghetti.


Liliana: Oooh!  Can I slurp it?
Bonnie: If you must...
Liliana: Yay!!!


After dinner, Princess Periwinkle, aka Liliana does some painting.


And the pink princess aka Evelyn prances around the yard.


The next day, while the girls go to school...


I go into labor...whoa boy this never gets any easier, does it?


And I give birth to a little purple girl: Baby 10: Mackenzie Reed

*Many thanks go out to spiderg1rl for letting me use Devlin in my game!
