round 6
Jago got his driverslicense and minute he had it he began begging Skylar and Con to buy a car for him. The thing is Jago's uncle Rod (Ormerod really, Con's brother) has bought a new car and is going to sell his old one, a Lexus IS200 sport, Jago is totally in love with this car. It is way to expensive for him, but Rod said that he would charge them less, because they are family. It's still costs too much for him, so that's why he has been driving his paretns crazy with his nagging and begging. Skylar said he would have to pay for a car himself if he wanted one, because they weren't goign to give him a car just like that. Finally they worked out an arrangement: Con and Skylar would buy the car, Jago could use it and pay his parents back within two years or the car is gone again, with theconsition that he would also help out driving the rest of the kids around (he gave in to that one as a trade for his parents to pay the insurance). He also finally worked up the nerve to ask Leia out on a date, to his surprise she had said yes. They went to the movies after eating something and at the end af the night he was rewarded with a kiss. They dated for a while, and after some dates they declared themselves boyfriend and girlfriend. Skylar wasn't happy with the news, but she respected her son's choice and never spoke of her dislikes to him again.
Kyle has taking up swimming next to soccer and he's getting better and better at both. He's invited to audition for the school swimteam. A girl in his class was also invited to audition for the team and this they shared lead to a lot of conversations between them. Kyle has fallen for her. Her name is Keavy and she the only child of a rich banker. Skylar thinks this girl would be good catch... As it is now, the two of them are becoming friends and Kyle is enjoying the closeness they have now, he's afraid to tell her that he likes her for fear it will ruin their newly found friendship.
June and Sage just turned ten. They went on a balloon ride with their dad to celebrate it. The girls were thrilled. There birthday party was a disco and they both had a lot of fun. June and Sage both play in a kids band with three others in their year, it's called "Minu Manami" (they found the names in an old name book of Skylar and they thought it sounded very nice). They perform in school concerts and they played in the cafe of the father of the boy who plays the drums. They are awesome together. While playing at the cafe a record producer heard them and he offered June to make a record. He says she playes incredible for a ten-year-old and has a beautiful voice. Con and Skylar think it's a unique oppertunity for her, but they are afraid the effects this will have on June, and the're also worried what this will do to Sage, because she was the one who always wanted to be a star and she's getting very jealous.
Little Luke is getting very cute, he's really a miniature form of his father. He says he's got his drivers license just like Jago and tells people, his little tricycle is actually a big car disguised as a tricycle and only becomes a car when he's alone with him. Luke swears he's really a "big wed fewawi". He has also got a marble that's really a soccerball, a plastic spoon that's really a guitar and a tiny box that's really a piano. Skylar worries that he makes up so much, and that he might lose understandign of what's real and what's not real. Con thinks it's nothing to worry about and is confident he will grow out of it. Luke got a white stone from Kyle a while ago and Kyle had told him it had magical powers. Now Luke is dragging that stone everywhere. He even gave it a name: Rocky (or rather "Wocky")
Skylar recently had the biggest shock of her life when there was a woman standing on the doorstep, demanding to see Con. When she told him he wasn't home, the woman asked who she was. Skylar told her she was his wife. At first the woman looked like she would faint and the she started to cry. Skylar invited her in and they started talking. It appreared that the woman was pregnant with Con's child. She wanted to see Con to ask him to come and live with her to take care of the baby. She had had no idea he was a married man with 5 children. Later that day, when the woman had left and Con had come home, Skylar told COn what she new. He looked at her and started crying. Skylar was stunned, in all their years together she had never seen her husband cry. He couldn't even look her in her eyes and got up and left the house. Skylar saw him drive away in his car. She was sure her marriage was over and the tears streamed down her face.
Half an hour later Jago came home and found his mother crying her eyes out on the couch. He went to her and tried to comfort her. When he sked what happened she told him sobbingly. Jago was furious and said he would kill his father the next time he would see him. So luckily for Con, his son was in school the next day when he came back. Skylar had called in sick and she had also told the rest of kids she was ill and that's why she was in her room the whole time and Jago had forbade the others to bother her. So when Con came home he found his puffy-eyed wife alone and sleeping on the sofa. He stooped to kiss her on her forehead and then went upstairs to pack.... (to be continued!)
my question: Am I allowed to let 'the other woman' have a child?
round 5
Con and Skylar were surprised to find out that they were expecting another son. They decided that they were going to name him Luke Sebastian. They both really liked the name Luke and it went well with the other siblings and Sebastian is the name of a mutual friend of them, who has helped them both a great deal in the past and so they wanted to homour him in this way. The girls June and Sage are doing fine, they both like school a lot and are becoming quite popular. They love to play soccer and basketball with their big brothers. They love to sing and had let their parents know they wanted to play an instrument, so now June has piano lessons and Sage has guitar lessons, they like it a lot. Kyle got hiimself in trouble again, while playing soccer he got into a fight with two boys from the other team, when the referee (sp?)pulled the boys apart, Kyle was left with a broken arm (his right one this time). He couldn't do his school work properly for some time, but what bothered him more was that he couldn't swim. The doctor said he should recover well and that there should be no long term effects. Jago got himself into even more trouble. He got brought home by the police just the other day. Appearantly he had set fire to an abandonned house with some of his friends. Con was furious at him and all but literally threw him in his room. When Con had calmed down a bit he and Skylar had a very long talk with their eldest son about his behaviour. Jago was grounded and got no allowence for some time. Skylar and Con think he learned fromwhat happens and think (and hope) he will do better from now on. In the mean time Jago has gotten a crush on a girl in his class. He's afraid to even talk to her, because he thinks he will make a fool out of himself in front of her. He's still working up the nerve to ask her to go somewhere sometime with him. Skylar doesn't like this girl much, she thinks her parents are (quote:) "simple creatures that lack the imagination to look past movies". This might be based upon the fact that Leia has 3 brothers: Obi Solo, Han Kenobi and Anakin Skai, the family also has 2 dogs R-2 and (you guessed it) D-2. Con thinks it's funny (Kyle was almost named after Indiana Jones after all), he says that it could have been worse (meaning that the kids could have been named R2, D2 and C3PO). Jago doesn't care about what his mum thinks because the boy is in love!
round 4
Con and Skylar had twin girls and named them June Taylor and Sage Reagan. Skylar really wanted to honor their grandparents, June was the month all the grandparents were born, Taylor and Reagan were the maiden-names of the grandmothers. Con insisted on naming one of the girls Sage, just because he liked the name so much. The babies demand a lot of attention and they have a bad habbit of starting to cry when the other just stopped. Jago and Kyle are taking the arrival of their new sisters pretty well, at first Jago was disappointed they were girls but he likes them now. He started in the first grade and he likes being around other children. He doesn't have a lot of patience to sit still and learn, but he makes up for it by being a quick learner. The teacher has complained that he can't sit still and often get's out of his chair in the middle of class. Skylar and Con have talked to him about it and he says he finds class a bit boring, and that he can't sit still when he has finished an assignment. They talked to his teacher and now he gets extra assignments to prevent him from getting bored, it work out okay. Kyle started pre-school and he's becoming a troublemaker, he has friend, but he also has a few kids in his group that he clearly doesn't like. He fights with them a lot. Despite his friendly nature he gets into fights a lot, his father used to be like that at his age too. Last year he got into a fight with Jago and fell down the stairs. He broke his arm and Jago felt really guilty about it. After that the two of them became thick as thieves. Skylar is already happy that the two of them don't fight eachother anymore.
round 3
Jago is now two years old and has become quite a handful. He's a happy child and laughs a lot, but demands a lot of attention. He loves to play with blocks and with balls. He often loses his toys and the blocks and balls can be found all around the house. He does not understand yet that his mum is expecting another child and that soon he won't be an only child anymore. The next baby will be named Kyle Alexander if he's a boy and Indiana June. Kyle is from a book mum is reading and they agreed that Alexander sounded nice with that, Indiana is from Indiana Jones (dad's fav movies) and June because all the grandparents were born in June. Con and Skylar can't wait until their new baby is born.
round 2
Con and Skylar were very surprised when they first found out they were expecting a new family member, because he wasn't planned. Both parent were verey exited and were looking foreward to the arrival of their first child. They named their son Jago Leonardo. Jago because they both liked the name a lot and Leonardo after both grandfathers named Leo and Lennard. It was tough for them when he was just born, they both never cared for a baby before, but now it's starting to work out. Skylar went back to work and it comes in very handy that one works during the days and the other parent work during the night, so there's always someone around to care for little Jago. They're both very tired and they mostly see each other sleeping or just for an hour or two a day, but they both agree that their son is worth the sacrifice. Jago is a very sweet child.
