(A year has past)
Casey was growing up to be such a sweet little girl, but with 8 other children in the house, and Paula’s career flourishing, extra help was needed.
Before the twins were born, Paula and Jackie had hired a wonderful nanny named Lucie to look after the kids. Eliot, Alex, and Maya all adored her and her children (at the time Lucie had twins- Rachel and Ollie- who were a year older than the triplets. They came with Lucie to the Craige-Widell’s house every day and the kids had a blast). As much as the family loved Lucie, they had a tight budget and once Gabe and Lucas were a year old, Paula and Jackie decided they could handle everything on their own once again, but they stayed in touch.
This all happened around 15 years ago, and now Lucie had two more girls; Kathy and Evelyn. The Craige-Widells contacted Lucie again and luckily she said she would be thrilled to work for them again, this time looking after her own 4 children, and 9 new ones. Since Casey needed a lot of special attention, Lucie agreed to move in with her children and look after Casey from their home. The Craige-Widells welcomed the 5 Los into their home. Casey fell in love with Lucie and her children, and took a special liking to Kathy, who was a year older than she was herself.
Around the time all of this was happening, Maya was getting pretty serious with her first boyfriend Brendan. Maya was a responsible kid, but didn’t want to upset her parents by discussing birth control with them. She and Brendan decided they were ready to go all the way, but chose some unreliable methods of birth control. They had been sleeping together for a few months before Maya discovered she was pregnant. She was horrified, as she thought the method they had been using would protect them completely. When Maya finally told her parents, neither reacted very well at all. There was a lot of screaming and crying before they came to an agreement- Maya would keep the baby and Jackie’s mother would be coming to stay with them to help Maya raise it. 8 months later, Maya gave birth to Julie Anne. She and Maya were both healthy and doing fine. Once they were settled, Paula and Jackie both opened up to their granddaughter, and family life resumed its (un)usual pace :)
