Chapter 21-Quiet Before the Storm

The moment I looked at her I knew and as she got older it became more evident.  Everyday I would look at her and see Jesse.  I didn't know that it was possible for my heart to ache and be happy at the same time.

Bynni was temporarily excited to have a new sister.  Once she realized she was less of a doll and more of a noisy bundle she didn't really want to play with the baby anymore.  She had a hard time saying her name so she took to calling her CeCe instead.  Aric was great like he was with Bynni.

With all the excitement of the birth it was a few weeks after prom when Aric told me he was voted prom king.  He was less excited than Nina who grinned ear to ear on the picture.  Life was pretty normal for a while.  I was getting nervous because birthdays were coming around soon and in this house I just didn't have good memories associated with the last few birthdays.

Bynni became a beautiful teenager and I sensed a change in her more than just aging up.

Aric became a handsome young man.  I was very sad at the thought of him leaving after graduation but I tried not to think of that too much.  To my surprise and relief both birthdays happened without incident.  Mulo bought Bynni a car which I wasn't happy about.  She was becoming quite rebellious.

  1. Good job telling about the kids growing up - I wish the chapter was longer though - I was really looking forward to it! But judging by the title, you have a lot in store for us!

  2. Yeah it was my shortest one but I just needed a bit of a filler chapter since I knew the next one was going to be a bit longer.
