In her short time as a parent, Me-Me has already learned to use every spare moment. While Dub plays with his pail and shovel in the sand, she studies up on her mechanical skills, hoping a promotion won’t be far off when she finally returns to work. I hate to admit that ma has been…
Merit, Roni, and their girls arrive at City Hall in Tartosa. They have chosen today, the first day of the new year, as their wedding day. But rather than have a big wedding, they have decided on a small ceremony with just their immediate family. So they go inside, exchange vows, and exit the building…
Wade is a toddler now, and he has my eyes (and the Fussy aspiration)! Kai: Happy birthday, little Dub! Melisa: Dub? As in “double u”? Kai: Yeah, it’s what I’ve been calling him – you know, as a nickname. Since I never really had one. Melisa: *considers it* I like it. I lift Dub in…
Me-Me walks over to Merlin and hugs him as well. Then, he announces that they’ll only be in town for one more day because he and Jalisa have to be back at work. It makes me sad that they live so far away. But I’m sure they’re feeling the same way. I go upstairs and…

Jalisa and Merlin are at the door, eager to meet their first grandchild. They’re also happy to get their first look at their daughter’s new home. Jalisa: This is a nice place. Merlin: *looks around* Yeah, it reminds me of the house where I grew up. Me-Me leads them upstairs. The upstairs is a mess,…
Our strategy worked. Me-Me finds me downstairs several hours later, as I’m finishing up my homework for school, to tell me that she’s in labor. At first, I don’t hear her because my head is full of Biomes and everything I need to know for today’s final exam. But, eventually, it clicks, and I feel…
Early the following day, after leaving Kai and Me-Me’s house and instructing Terra to help her baby sister inside… Veronica: That was an excellent way to spend Winterfest.
