Castor: Chapter 06

It has been a few months since my abduction. I think it is safe to say that I am pregnant.  I have been glowing around the middle regularly.

The twins are celebrating their birthday soon.  Therefore, I have busy helping them complete their final toddler skills.

Dorado has also been playing a lot of educational games on his Wabbit tablet.  The twins only have the thinking skill left to complete before their birthday.

I was drafted to play for the Llamacorns.  As a rookie, I don’t get a lot of playing time.

Which is probably a good thing, since I started developing a baby bump.

Over the winter, the twins and I had a lot of fun playing in the snow.

The snowpal we built turned out great.

I had my camera with me and captured the perfect moment.

In addition to photographs of the twins, I am also working on their toddler portraits.

Sadly, Comet passed away.

We are all heartbroken by his death.

I placed his urn beneath his portrait next to Laika.

His final resting place is in the new Constar pet cemetery.

For the twins’ birthday, I made a cake and invited over several family members.

Amongst the party guests were my cousin Corvus (not pictured), his husband Jonathan, and son Dryden.

I was thrilled to see that Jonathan was pregnant.   I know that he and Corvus have wanted another child.

I had to feel the baby kick.

 

I also made sure to offer Corvus my warmest congratulations.

A few months after the party, Jonathan gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Dreyer.  Dreyer is named after a crater on the moon.

Dorado aged into an adorable and outgoing child.  He wants to be an artistic prodigy.

Delphini is a beautiful little girl.  She loves the outdoors and wants to be a social butterfly.

She has been introducing herself to everyone she meets.

But her brother is her best friend.

She is super excited about becoming a big sister.  She asks every day to feel the baby kick.

I am not going to lie; I am tired of being pregnant.  My back hurts all the time, I can’t exercise, and I have to sit on the bench during games.

The baby is always pressing on my bladder.  The other day I didn’t make it to the bathroom in time.  I was so embarrassed.  I haven’t peed my pants since I was a toddler.

Rocket and I still enjoy going for walks, even though we would prefer jogging.

Finally, the day arrived.  I had just finished making breakfast for the kids when I went into labor.  It was the worst pain I have ever experienced.

While past generations of my family have preferred home births, I opted to have the baby at the hospital.

I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Draco; after the dragon constellation

With two active children and a new infant, I decided our current place was too small.  I had the house bulldozed and built a new one in its place.   Thanks to all the money I earn from the garden, we were able to construct a beautiful and spacious new home.

You walk in the front door to a lovely entryway.

The main floor has a large kitchen with top-end appliances.

There is a formal dining room that seats eight.

A cozy living room with fireplace.   I can imagine having Winterfest celebrations in this room.

There is also a den with computer, television, and video gaming systems.

I, of course, had to have my home gym.

There is also a charming nursery for Draco.

The main floor wouldn’t be complete without a small bathroom.

Upstairs, there is a room for Delphini.

 

And a room for Dorado.   I let them decorate their rooms.

There is a toddler room for when Draco is older.

A master bedroom.

The bedroom has an attached master bathroom.

The kids also have a bathroom of their own (not pictured) as well as a large playroom with loads of toys and skilling items.

In the yard, I built a brand new greenhouse for all the plants.  The greenhouse also has a woodworking and flower arranging station.

We also have a pool area.

There is a sandbox and play area for the toddlers.

And a playground for the children; complete with jungle gym, monkey bars, and swings.

The twins love having family and friends over.   Belinda’s son Eridanus frequently comes over after school to play VoidCritter with Dorado.

Delphini and Dove have also become good friends.  Those two can spend hours just talking and laughing.  I am glad they are too young to be talking about boys.

The twins joined scouts.

They both earned the Scholarly Aptitude Badge by completing all of their homework.

Dorado has also been working on his artistic prodigy aspiration by drawing pictures at the new craft table.

Delphini has been working on increasing her social skills by talking non-stop.  My favorite time of day is when she sits at the counter and talks to me while I cook.

Now that I am no longer pregnant I can work out again.

Rocket and I have also been able to start jogging again.

I finally got off the bench and played in my first game for the Llamacorns.  My coach was so impressed he promoted me to Starter.  I was given a photo of the team as a bonus.

Draco is such a wonderful baby.  He hardly ever cries.  Between building the new house, getting promoted at work, and raising a family the last year has gone by so fast.   Today we are celebrating Draco’s birthday.

He is an adorable and independent toddler.   I will admit I was surprised by his jet black hair.

I was also surprised when the day after Draco’s toddler birthday I was coming home from work when I saw that familiar twinkling light.

I was beamed onboard a Sixam spacecraft.   Here we go again.
