Happy New Year!! Babies 51 and 52

I realize this is quite late, but it's out so no more worries!!
Richard, Ian and Snow were ready to grow into promising teens. I got out three cakes, and lit the candles. Richard blew his candles out first, and transformed into a handsome teen. Snow and Ian soon followed.

Richard became an extreme coward, Snow was the fearless leader, and Ian was just, there. They all aged into gorgeous teens.

I brought Mikey up to his cake after the triplets were done. I blew out his candle and gently set him on the ground.

I picked Patrick up and blew out his candle too, I set him down next to Mikey and they quickly aged into cute little toddlers.

As they mimicked each other in looks, they mimicked each other in actions too. Monkey see, monkey do! I out them in swings and let them slowly drift off.

I logged onto the computer and began chatting with the other challenge mothers through a chat room they set up a while ago. Matt came into the room and began tending to Elephants needs. "You know most normal people have dogs for pets." I say spinning in the office chair. "I'm not multiple, nor am I normal." Matt said smirking. "Why don't you get a dog? Dog's are normal pets, NOT Squirrels!" I said. "I have one reason why we can't possibly get a dog." Matt responded turning around so he was looking at me. "And what is that?" I asked eyeing the conversation the other mother's were having. "Well do dogs make this sound? Snk-snk-sssnk like a squirrel?" Matt said, trying to imitate a squirrel. "Uhm...No...?" I responded staring at him. "Enough said. Who are you talking to?" He asked pointing to the computer screen. "Fellow challenge mothers, we're discussing our plans for the New years celebration. So far nobodys doing a thing." I said, shrugging. "Why don't you throw a party?" Matt asked. Something sparked inside.

A week later I left home for Sunset Valley, so it would be convienient, because that's where the selected club was at. I had a hotel room and everyone was ready to partay! Let's get it on!

 Of the many challenge mothers these seven were the only ones who could make it, Skye Evrard, Alina Taylor, Charlie Evans, Elena Weddington, Della Wriner, Christy Quinn, and one who's name I can't remember for the life of me, the other six are just lucky I can remotely name them. We started out the night by dancing.

 Every one of us went wild, there were no restrictions tonight!

 The bartenders began mixing and concocting drinks for other people who were at the club, all of us caught wind of this and slowly made our ways to the bar. The first bartender wasn't gun shy and was spinning bottles around and around, he quickly got out four drinks in less than a minute, which made for quite the applause.

 The second was younger, and definitely more self cautious. He began mixing a drink, "accidently" breaking bottles, he winked at one of the girls sitting at the bar and then before our eyes he was breathing out fire! This awarded him over one-hundred dollars in tips!

 We all ordered drinks, and held them up to toast into the new year. Della drank hers down as soon as it reached her hand, so while we waited for the countdown she stood pretending to hold a glass. We watched countdown on the television, and everyone in the bar began to countdown. "Ten...Nine...Eight...Seven....Six....Five... FOUR.....THREE....TWO....ONE!!"

The entire club broke out in "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!" and "IT'S 2012!!!" Everyone cheered and raised their glasses, we all drank our drinks down the moment the glass hit our lips. This year, was going to be amazing.

 After that we all kind of dispersed throughout the club to do our own exciting things. Elena, Skye, and I went over to the bubble station. "The cotton candy ones are good." I said taking a deep breath in, filling my mouth with colorful tasty bubbles.

 Elena blew out many yellow bubbles. "I'm a fan of pineapple." She said as she eyed the bubbles with amazement. She took another round of bubbles.

 "Girls, it's mint all the way!" Skye exclaimed blowing out an assortment of blue bubbles. We continued to laugh and talk about pointless things.

 Alina was busy dancing, along with Della and Charlie. A dj came on a loud speaker. "Alright ladies, and gents of course, it's time to get funky, with a little, DANCE CONTEST! So tie them tap shoes on tight and get on the dance floor, everyones a winner, free drinks on the house for dancers, free drinks all night for the winner!" He announced. Everyone fled to the dance floor.

 Everyone started to dance wildly, and slowly people were taken off the dance floor one by one. In the end only Della and Charlie remained. "Let's pump it up!" The dj announced and he put on a beat that would be hard to match with dance moves.

 Charlie took to it with ease, and she was crowned victor, she decided to share her winnings with everyone in the club, which made for many smiles and many drunk people. For the rest of the night we danced with random partners, took turns with the bubble bar, then someone brought in a big box of fireworks. "Free for all!" The stranger announced, he took everyone outside and began lighting the fireworks.

 We all lied on the ground and stared at the sky with amazement.

 My favorite ones were the ones that shot up then swirled, then in one quick boom were gone, like a flashing light.

At five am everyone was slowly starting to tucker out. I returned to my hotel room to get ready for the long drive ahead.

 When I got home Ian, Richard, and Snow were gone. Matt's defense was that they begged, and he caved. I was fine with it, they knew what they were doing, so they were off for their new lives.

 What I didn't expect to see was Mikey and Patrick as children. "I taught them their skills, I thought it would be a nice surprise." Matt said with a slight smile. I hugged him tightly. "You're perfect you know that?" I whispered. Matt merely laughed and hugged me, one of his palms didn't touch my back and when we pulled away I inspected why.

 Elephant was placed in his palm, eyeing his surroundings. "What are you doing with the squirrel?" I asked. "I was going to take him for a walk." Matt said and he pulled out a tiny harnest and leash. I literally smacked my face with my palm. "Okay, maybe taking a fish for a walk is a bit too extreme, but taking a squirrel for a walk? Well that's just torture!" I said laughing.

 "I think he'll like it." Matt said, tucking the leash back into his pocket. "But Matt, he's a squirrel, what happens when he see's all of the free squirrels and wants to join them? I think Elephant should stay inside." I said trying to reason, why I was saving this little squirrels life isn't clear to me, but I guess I'll find out with time.

 "Fine, I won't take Elephant for a walk, I'll just watch tv with him or something." Matt said. "Good, I don't want to see him get hurt." I replied. "Just no more nonsense okay?" "Deal." Matt said with a smirk.

 The doorbell rang and I went to answer it, meanwhile Matt stroked Elephant's fur with his finger and giggled. "My precious!!!" He whispered maniacly. "I heard that you nut!" I said turning around with a laugh. Matt was already sitting on the couch. "What was that? Dear?" He replied, clearly blushing under his extreme smile. "Oh nothing honey!!" I replied

 A man was at the other side of the door. I went outside and quietly closed the door.

 "Hello there." I said with a bright cheery smile. "Hello there Madam. Lovely weather we're having." The man said with a rather british accent. "It is, so how can I help you?" I asked, even though we both clearly knew the answer. "Well, as you can see I am a challenge father, unless you are blind then you can't see, but I was wondering if the Caitlin Murray would grant me as a father." He replied. "Names Perry Platts, although I am not fond of Perry the platypus." He said, smiling showing a neat array of straight teeth. "Well then I guess you qualify for being a challenge father!" I joked. I showed him inside, and took him to the bedroom.

 We quickly conceived a baby and Perry tipped his invisible hat and bid me a farewell. I loved it when it was that simple!

 I settled for a makeover, with it being the new year and such. I tried to get Matt to cut his hair, but when he piled it on top of his head he looked weird, and I decided his haircut was just fine. What I didn't mean for to happen was for Elephant and Jumangi to get little mohawks, thanks to Patrick and Mikey, and a bottle of hair gel they found at school. So many questions...

 Pregnancy starters were kicking in. The toilet was absolutely disgusting, I guess that happens with living with three other boys. Hopefully this time they'll be girls.

 The boys had been quiet for a while, which was suspicious. I peeked into their room to see what they were up to. Patrick swung a pillow and knocked Mikey square in the face. "I'm going to get you!" Mikey declared, he ran to the other side of the room. "Come and get me!" Patrick said swinging the pillow.

 Mikey jumped behind Patrick. "I know you're there!" Patrick said laughing. Mikey swung the pillow and knocked Patrick on the back of his head. Mikey jumped in front of Patrick and laughed. "You sir have just declared war!!!" Patrick said laughing, and he began to repeatedly whack Mikey over the head.

 "You won't win the battle!" Mikey said trying to stop the blows by smacking Patrick on the legs. "Don't need to, just gotta win the war!" Patrick replied. I slowly closed the door and stepped away, they were doing just fine.

 Jumangi was getting more and more playful. Matt came home with a bag of old cat toys, saying his partners daughters cat had passed away, and that his daughter couldn't look at the toys without bawling, so Jumangi got some new toys! He personally loved the little pink squeaky mouse, he ran all around the living room with the thing.

 Jumangi stopped dead in front of Elephants cage. His tail started to wag and his eyes glossened. "No Jumangi! That's not nice!" Matt said shooing Jumangi away from his precious little squirrel.

 "Jumangi tried to eat Elephant." Matt said as we watched the weather channel. "Was he staring at Elephant, or was Elephant halfway down his esophagus?" I asked. "Well, he thought about it at least!" Matt argued. "Of course he did, Elephant will be fine." I said, turning my attention back to the television.

 The baby kicked, and I knew that I was officially pregnant.

 I picked up Jumangi. "You wouldn't eat Elephant would you?" I cooed. Jumangi meowed in response. "Does that look like a killer to you?" I asked showing Matt Jumangis innocent little face. "Not for a while at least." Matt said.

 I set Jumangi on the ground and brushed him. "He wouldn't kill a fly." I say, even though when he's let outside he brings back dead snakes, and birds, but to my defence no rats or squirrels.

 The next few days flew by quickly, this pregnancy was a breeze. Matthew was working on some reports for work, the boys were at school, and the animals were doing their own things so I decided to paint, there wasn't much else to do.

 Three hours later I concocted a painting of a zebra, Matt kissed me and left for work. "What the heck am I going to do with a zebra painting?" I asked myself, so I decided to sell it online. Someone bought it right away, profited a good thousand dollars from it.

 Suddenly I went into labor.

 It didn't take long before I had a baby girl in my arms. I named her Elizabeth.

When I was in the nursery I gave birth to another little girl. I named her Anna. Welcome to the world Anna and Elizabeth, welcome to the world.

I went downstairs after both girls were napping. I sat down on the couch and watched tv. My phone violently vibrated in my pocket, it was Diana, my mother was supposed to be coming home in the next week, maybe it was retainging to that. I answered. "Hello." My voice rang clear and through. "Cait?" Diana sounded strained and far away. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Cait, mom's going to go to Appaloosa Plains, but-she-she won't make it through the next two weeks... Cait... Mom's dying.." She whispered into the receiver. "Mom's dying?" I repeated, trying to grasp onto the fact.
