The months were flying by and still I hadn’t told Ezekiel that my son may not be his. Our oldest daughters celebrated their birthdays and turned 13. Sara gained the athletic trait and Tara gained mooch as a trait. Tara was becoming more and more like her Aunt Heather. I prayed the insanity wasn’t next.

Vera and Emma had their 5th birthday and it was time for them to start kindergarten. Vera received photographer’s eye for her trait and Emma gained good. Emma started wanting to give to all the charities and I was very proud of her. One day, very unexpectedly, Khaled showed up. After being away from him so long I knew when I laid eyes on him again that I was indeed crazy in love with him. I found myself in his arms and had to pull away before being caught.

Khaled stayed around town few days, but finally Ezekiel started catching on and confronted him.  “What in the hell are you doing here? Do you have a thing for my wife?” I heard Ezekiel screaming outside. I was busy with putting the kids down for the night, so I couldn’t run out there to protect Khaled. It didn’t take long for my husband to find me and declare that the marriage was over. With no chance to explain, he was gone and the children were devastated. Khaled suggested a paternity test and I agreed. After a week of waiting the results came back and much to my surprise Frances and Kaden were Khaled’s children. I couldn’t believe it. I had thought that the nights spent on vacation were harmless; I didn’t even remember sleeping with Khaled.

We were exhausted and he comforted me for a few days before deciding to move in with us. The other children didn’t seem to mind the new man in the house and that made me very happy. I had talked to my daughters a lot to ensure that they would be comfortable with him living with us. They all just wanted me to be happy and happy I was. I hoped one day Khaled would become their step father.

Not long after Khaled got settled in, it was time for Frances and Kaden to have their first birthday. The same day as their birthday, Khaled had his 40th birthday and aged into a full fledged adult. He is such a handsome man.

Time continued to fly by as time does and we all got settled in with Khaled in the house and months turned to years. Vera, Emma, Frances, and Kaden all shared the next round of birthdays. My final set of children were starting kindergarten. This should have been a sad time, but it wasn’t. I was glad to see the day of my heiress reign coming to an end. Vera is a natural cook and does amazing. Emma has become a bookworm and is totally immersed in her studies and books all of the time. Frances and Kaden couldn’t be more different. Frances can’t stand art and Kaden was a natural born artist.

The children have been growing up so quickly that I decided it was time for some family photos.

My first set of twins were Sara and Tara. Sara is on the left and Tara is on the right:

My second set of twins were Vera and Emma. Emma is on the left and Vera is on the right.

My final set of twins, with Khaled as their father, were Frances and Kaden. Kaden was the one and only boy in the last two generations. We are very happy to have him. I would love to see him become heir, but time will tell.

Here is all of us with Khaled:

Sara is my athlete. She exercises daily and eats healthy.  She has shed a lot of pounds doing this and her younger sister Vera is jealous of her.

Vera is a genius and spends most of her time playing chess alone. I have caught Khaled playing with her a few times. It always makes me feel good when I see him with the girls. He has really been trying to be a father to all of them. It is hard to live up to Ezekiel though. We still have him over on weekends so he can spend time with his girls.

Poor Frances is a loner and always eats outside at the picnic table instead of with her family. It’s hard living in such a huge family when you are shy. I try to include her in everything I can, so she is never left out. Frances has also told me she was ashamed that she had a different father than the other girls and I had to explain the reason behind that. Ezekiel even spent time with her, so she wouldn’t feel as bad. Frances is very tenderhearted.

I have been encouraging the girls to increase their skills before they become young adults. You can’t get jobs these days and advance in them without good skills. Sara and Tara have finished up their last year of school and celebrated their birthday. Sara has decided to become a world renowned surgeon and Tara wants to be the emperor of evil. Tara has always been my wild child, so it didn’t suprise me when she called up Heather and asked her to help her get a job at the mob. It doesn’t make me proud, but she is an adult now.

Leaving the hospital after her interview, Sara ran into a very handsome man. He  introduced himself as Devon. They stood around talking for a few hours before heading their separate ways.

Frances and Kaden had a great birthday party and aged up into nice looking teenagers. I’m so glad to finally have the kids grown.

A few days after running into Devon, Sara gets a phone call. “Hey Sara?” Devon said as Sara answered her phone. “Yes,” Sara replied, trying to recognize the voice. “This is Devon. Can you meet me for dinner tonight around 7?” Devon asked confidently. Sara agreed and had a wonderful first date. I’m glad she has found someone. He even has a job! He is only a rabid fan, but at least he is in the music business.

Speaking of music, Frances and Kaden both want to learn to play the guitar and I let them go for classes down at the theater. It’s time for my reign as heiress to end and I have to decide who will become heir when I pass on.

Author’s note:

I lost a few of the pictures I had taken. I’m sorry that you guys didn’t get to see everyone at the different ages. Look out for the next update, coming soon. It will be an heir poll.

Comments please.. :)
