Sprouts! (1.2)

Whoops! I didn't mean to mention about my pregnancy in the last episode!

Well, at least I've told Cassie now! Mortimer already knew, of course - he's ecstatic - but Cassie was thrilled to bits. She's promised not to tell her mother yet, or her little brother (Mortimer's going to talk to him about it himself) and she really can't wait for a new sibling!

 I'm also starting to show quite a bit, so it's not unreasonable to tell her, either. She might have guessed. I only hope her mother doesn't find out...

Oh! I never finished writing this! Sorry, it's a few days later, and things have been hectic around here. So much has happened since then! I was, indeed, so busy, I forgot to finish writing this!

A month or so ago, Mortimer brought me into the garden late at night, and kissed me, nervously beginning to tell me about how he loved me, and never wanted to be apart from me, and then knelt down, pulling out a ring from his pocket. Yes, he asked me to marry him!

I was almost crying as he slid the ring onto my finger. We're engaged! I'm so happy! We're going to be married in a couple of years.

Two weeks later, he came to me, worried, and said he had something to confess. He'd submitted papers to an adoption agency a while ago, asking to adopt a child. He wanted, he said, to give a child a chance at being raised right.
I kissed him. How thoughtful was that? I was now going to be a mother to two children!

She arrived the next day, and as we'd already built a nursery, it was waiting for her, as Mortimer had indeed intended. Her name is Sara Sophia Goth-Forrest, and she's simply adorable.

I love her so very much, and I spend a lot of time with her. I want her to feel close to me, no matter what.

Mortimer adores her too, of course. He's always cuddling her, and telling her how she's the most beautiful girl in the entire world. I quite agree with him!

I went into labour about a week after Sara Sophia arrived, and so I'd like to introduce you all to my little beansprout, Elliott! Elliott Goth-Forrest, naturally.

Oh, he's gorgeous! I love him so much. My precious little sapling! (Sara Sophia is my little flower, still!) We'll be redecorating a room into a nursery for Elliott soon enough, but until then, we'll have these two in the same place. Oh, I just adore them. My two babies!

I love being their mother. I hope I get to hear their first words, see them walking for the first time, and be with them forever.

I love Elliott and Sara Sophia with all my heart.
