Ch. 48 - Vampire Birthday

Aww look how much my little Helios loves his little vampire bear.  Rene bought them for the triplets when they last stayed with him.

The bears are really chew toys for Helios and Hesper since their vampire instincts are becoming more apparent.

My two little vampires are awake most of the night and sleep most of the day during which time their sister Helicia is up.  

I haven't been getting much sleep as of late but that's fine since I don't really need it.  Plus I'm still on the look out for an alien UFO.  

Every night I spend time looking through the telescope I received as a gift from the scientists after I did a seminar on dating at the science facility.  I wonder if they would let me borrow some of their space rocks in order to attract a green space man?

During the day when I'm not tending to Helicia I spend time with the unicorns.  Fireball and I are becoming fast friends.  He often follows me around the temple when I'm out and about.

"Hi there Fireball!  Do you want to go the beach and tan with me again today?"

After my morning sun I like take Stutter and Allia out for a run along the beach for some morning exercise.

There is something very empowering about riding a unicorn bare back along the beach in nothing but bikini.  

Whew its going to be another hot day on Sunlit Tides.  Time for a little treat to cool off.

Ahh freezer bunny popsicles are my favorite.  They're pink, adorable and oh so sweet!

Speaking of sweet my darlings Helicia, Hesper and Helios were all walking, talking and potty trained so a birthday party was in order.

I sent out the invites and mixed up some drinks for the party.  My mixology skills have grown quite a bit.  I hardly break any bottles and the quality of my drinks have improved.

Rene was the first guest to arrive and he brought with him a few cases of plasma juice.  

"Helicia and Helios will have cravings for plasma from time to time," he informed me.  We cooed over the children and Rene told me about plasma fruit recipes that the children might like as we waited for guests to arrive.   

Once everyone arrived it was time to start lighting up the cakes.  Helicia went first as the oldest of the three.

She is cute as a button with her little hairband and adorable dress.

Genia held her sister as she blew out her birthday candles.

Hesper and Helicia are just over flowing in cuteness with their matching dresses.

Now it's Helios's turn to become a big boy!

Look how handsome he is and he looks so much like his father.

The party ended earlier than my little vampires would have liked but they had school in the morning and needed to get on a daytime schedule.  

Once every one was tucked in I laid the space rocks Diantha had helped me gather around the temple gardens.  The rocks were of varying sizes but all of them were rare.  I knew my starman was out there somewhere in the night sky and it was only a matter of time before he came to me.

Ch. 47 - Abduction

With three new teens in the temple I was worried there'd be fighting among them about who got the first driving lesson.  As it turned out I had no need to worry since we had unicorns that could teleport anywhere on the island at will.

The elves were always doting on Helicia, Hesper and Helios when they weren't tending to the unicorns.

Speaking of doting I am soon to be the proud grandmother of fifteen grandchildren with more on the way.  Blasius has another daughter named Juana, Eldora has a son named Randy and Diantha and Elen are expecting!

This is Eboni Alesia's third child.  Look she's taken to music just like her mommy and daddy.

And this handsome little bundle is their fourth child Drew.

"Isn't that a pretty song big sister is playing for us Drew?"

Alena and Armando have added a third little girl to their happy family.

This is their baby girl Alesha.  I stopped by the house just in time to watch her become a toddler.

While I was gone there were some strange happenings outside the Temple of  Love.

"What's with the light show this early in the morning?  Mom didn't say anything about a party going on."

"Oh no it's a UFO!  Somebody help me I don't want to get probed!!!"

"Hey what do you think you're going to do with that thing?  Ahhh that's cold!!"

I was beyond shocked when I got home and Genia told me Gene was abducted by aliens.

"You mean the green people from outer space that fly around in those strange ships?"

We were going out to search for him when Gene was brought home by the police.  They found him wondering around on the beach and brought him in for breaking curfew.

"I'm sorry for breaking curfew mom.  I just don't know what happened.  All I remember is bright lights."

"Don't worry about it dear I know it wasn't your fault.  You were abducted by aliens."  A fact that had very much piqued my interest.

Aliens were flying around over Sunlit Tides and seemed to have an interest in the temple.  I wonder what its going take for me convince one of the space men to do a biology experiment with me?

Ch. 46 - Elf Party

"There you go Fireball, brushed and fed.  Now you be a good little foal for your mommy and daddy while we're out."

It was Leisure Day weekend and we were spending it at the Romper Recreational Playground.

It was also Gene, Genio and Genia's birthday.

"Happy birthday Gene, Genio and Genia!"  I had arrived with three adorable little elves but by the end of the day I had three elven teens.

Here is my lovely Genia she strongly resembles her father.

Genio looks so much like a royal elven prince. 

And Gene is bound to have a trail of lovesick girls not far behind him at all times.

Even though the elves are teens now they still spend a lot of time in the nursery with Hesper, Helicia and Helios.  They taught them to walk while I was out filming a commercial.

They've also taken on more responsibilities when taking care of the unicorns. 

The three of them have been avid fans of the racing and jumping competitions and hope to compete one day.

"Here you go Fireball.  You're a hungry little guy aren't you?"

They still have some improving to do before they are able to compete but I have faith in their abilities.

Ch. 45 - Little Vampires

Fasya and Feivel were out of the temple and off to follow their dreams.  Fasya was off to university with a full scholarship and Feivel was set to see the world.

Now that the cravings were no longer driving my appetite I was making home cooked meals again.  

I had learned many vegetarian meals since Gene did not eat meat.

"Okay you three straight to bed after dinner tonight.  No playing with the unicorns before bed.  I want you all to be well rested since it's your last day of elementary school." 

Time had gone by quickly and my three little elves would soon be teens.  Tomorrow was their birthday and we would be celebrating at a new playground in town.

Some time during the night while we were sleeping Allia had her foal. The little darling looks just like his mother with a bit of his father's coloring.  The children have named him Fireball.

The little guy loves galloping around after his mother.  Amalan says he has real potential as a race horse. 

After eating the perfectly prepared french toast I made for breakfast Gene, Genia and Genio were off to their last day as elementary students.

Alcander came by to visit and meet his new little sisters and brother.  He had news of Kelly finding love at sea and getting married.  Chances are good that he'll be a grandfather himself one of these days.

Isn't that something?  I'm not even half way to my goal of 100 children and it looks like I'll be a great grandmother soon.  Well it looks like I'm going to have to kick things into gear before my grandchildren start out numbering my children.  

Accomplishing that shouldn't be too hard since the triplets are growing up so fast.  Helicia has taken after me but she has hazel eyes.

Hesper takes after her father but has my blue eyes.

And little Helios looks just like daddy.  

The elves love their little sisters and brother to pieces.  When they're not playing with the unicorns they're in the nursery.

"Where did Hesper go?  I can't see her."

"Peek-a-boo!"

"Haha!  Peekboo peekboo!"  

Adorable.  I hope to have 81 more that are just like them.
