Rolling With the Punches

When we last left the Gaines, Althea was enjoying thoughts of her family as she put dinner on the stove.

The next day Celeste was out making friends with one of the neighborhood boys, Celeste seems to actuall have a knack for making friends, especiall since she loves being outdoors.

Serena on the other hand spends most of her time, in the house studying, she doesn't really do much of anything else, needless to say her grades are fantastic.

Once Derrick got home he immediately got ready to make dinner, he made sushi out of the fish that Celeste caught, Althea wasn't quite sure how excactl to make it, so he set to work trying his hardest to make his family happy.

"What do you think of the name John if it's a boy?" Drake asked over dinner that night. "Lets leave the naming up to me dear, you just stick to the cooking." Althea replied. She wasn't at all thrilled about naming her son John at all.

After dinner Derrick went to wash the dishes only to have the sink break, "Oh dear can you fix that, Celeste and I are having a fascinating converstation. " Derrick couldn't help but feel a littl bit overwhelmed in a house full of girls, there were days when he found himself extremely tired no matter how much he slept.

Right in the middle of Celeste and Altheas conversation about music theory, Celeste's friend immediately starts freaking out.

Pretty soon everyone in the room, began freaking out all at once, Althea was still a bit confused about what exactly had happened.

A minute later the pain hit her like a ton of brick, her water had broken, and she was going into labor right that second. Everyone panicked no one knew what to do.

Celeste's friend thought this was way much to handly and decided to make a hasty retreat out the front door.

With the arrival of two boys it was time to move into a bigger home, that would fit them confortably, unfortunately they needed to take out a loan, in order to fund the building of a new home, and the interest rates are astronomical, adding to Derrick's exauhstion. Especially since Althea was still on maternity leave.

Althea named the twin boys Drake, and Jacey. Drake was born a clumsy couch potato, who likes the color black, spaghetti, and electronica music. While Jacey was born and easily impressed genius, who like the color Aqua, custom music, and ratatoullie.

Just like theyre girls Althea and Derrick split the work in half when it came to taking care of the babies, but even still Derrick couldn't shake the exhausted feeling he now felt everyday, he wasn't sure what he would do.

In the meantime he thought that he would just stick it out and roll with the punches. After all he had a family to take care of.
