Chapter 37

The Ladon Legacy – Chapter 37

And so it was that death arrived for Tanya.

RIP Tanya Ladon aged 111

The shock was too much for Hayley who fainted.

Austin stayed up most of the night mourning the loss of his wife.

Aarron coped with things in his own special way

Just him and the hand monster.

As no one seemed interested in the garden I converted it into a memorial garden.  I moved Kieran there from the mausoleum and moved Tanya from the front garden.

Master Manchu was using his amazing ninja powers on Billie and Ben again!

Austin managed his grief by spending his time with Nathan.

Aarron: Hey Rhett have you seen Peaches?

Rhett:  Who’s Peaches?

Aarron: My friend, she lives here with us.

Rhett: Ha!  Aarron you are so funny!  No one called Peaches lives here!

Aarron: Of course she does silly!  Stop teasing!  You know, she has a silly walk and a round thing on her head. 

Rhett:  Really lil bro, I’ve no idea what you are talking about.

Aarron: Your hiding her aren’t you?  Is she in your pocket?

Rhett: Sigh.

Nathan: I’ll never lose you Mork, you’re my bestest friend ever!

Joseph:  That maid does nothing!  Just look at this limescale build-up!

Jennie: Oh no!  Joseph make way!!!

Joseph: Here Dad, let me play you a tune, cheer you up.

Austin: Aww thanks son.

Austin: Sob.  That was your mothers favourite.

Ben was trying to distract Master Manchu from his evil ninja activities.

Nathan was happily chewing the heads of his toys.

Rhett had taken to bashing the drums.

Jennie was very excited to hear about Haley becoming Marcus’s girlfriend.

As Jennie went upstairs to watch her boys jam session she whirlwinded into a new outfit!

Jennie: What’s this?

I’m taking no chances, you are eating nothing but watermelons till I see baby sparkles!

Jennie explained to Aarron the story of the birds and the bees.

Aarron:  Ok, that was the most awful story ever!  But it means I get a new brother or sister right?

Jennie: Right.

Aarron: Then it’s a happy ending!

Joseph:  I hope it’s another boy, 1 more and I have enough for a boy band!

Joseph made sure he took extra care of Jennie in his quest to complete his boy band.

Austin was also very excited about the news.

And went to tell Tanya all about how everyone was getting along.

He had already started the bonding process.

Haley had come over to study after school.

Time for prom!!

Urm, awkward!!  I accidently put 2 Haley’s into the town!

Billie and Ben have a baby!!  Say hello to Button!

Rhett was crowned Prom King.

Marcus and Haley were known as the Dynamic Duo of the dance.

Joseph: You know I think I hear him singing!

Nathan was such an adorable toddler

Everyone wanted to spend time with the jolly little chap.

The excitement towards the pending new addition was growing as Jennie got closer to having the baby.

The family gathered in the dining room as Joseph played the piano.

All except Aarron who had gone to study at a friend’s house after school.

Unfortunately he didn’t make it home before the sparkles arrived.

Hmm, we’ll sort you out when you get home!!

And here is teen Aarron who gained the Technophobe trait – oh joy!

Oh how I’ve been waiting for this moment!!

Jennie:  This better be quick!!

Baby Sparkles!!!

And it’s a girl!!!

At last!!

Please welcome Sophia Ladon who rolled the Friendly and Athletic traits.

Rhett: So when did you age up then?

Aarron: On my way home.

Rhett: Cool.

Jennie spent some well-deserved time as a human caterpillar.

Billie and Ben aged up.

But not before the arrival of another baby gnome!  Welcome Brownie!

Joseph got home from work and spent some quality time with Nathan.

Jennie went up to check on Nathan and found Joseph waiting for her.

After telling her about his day at work

It was time for him to spend some quality time with his wife.

Granddad Austin was thrilled with his granddaughter.

He just loved to carry her around with him everywhere.

It was soon time for Sophia’s birthday.  Jennie decided to invite the family over for a party.
