Gen. 1, Chapter 5: The Meeting

It's another year passed, and I've got to say, things are going great. Me, Derek, and baby Rue had finally found a nice, studio apartment to live in, which was really nice. And, I recently found out that I was pregnant with Derek again, with boy-girl twins that we have already named Tahoe and Kristi. However, most importantly, today was Rue's first birthday. Derek and I invited some of my relatives to Rue's birthday. "Rue-Rue!" I walk up to Rue's crib to take her out, "Happy Birthday Rue-girl!" I gently picked her up.


 She gave me her teething smile. "Did you know that you're going to have a new brother and sister soon?" Rue squealed, as if she was over-excited. There was a knock on the front door, and Derek opened it. In came grandma Cadence and momma Mikolaj! "HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUEE!!!" They came in with a huge load of balloons and presents, all for little Rue.


 Next came my niece, Love Sierra-Winfield, with her daughter, Natalie.


 "Awh, how cute!" Grandma Cadence picked up little Rue and held her in her soft arms, "What an adorable little girl!"


 My mother came up to me and felt my stomach. "More grandbabies on the way!"


 We sat Rue down on the floor and let her open her presents. She got a Play-Dough table from Great-Grandma Cadence, a blocks set from Grandma Miko, a dollhouse from Love and Natalie, and a toybox from Derek and I. After we had some cake and hung out, the guests left for their own things.

 I set Rue down into her baby swing. "Well." Derek came over, "I guess we threw a pretty good party for Rue."
I smile. "Then I guess we're good parents after all."
