Tuesday, June 15th, 2010Well, we never did get to go on that family vacation… at least, not while the Gyes and Georg were still children. Things were just moving along too fast, I guess.
The next thing I know, the boys are teenagers and my girls are both young adults. Time sure files!
Fern has decided she wants to become an astronaut and while I can’t help but wonder about her grand ideas, I remember Mom worrying about my pursuit of music, so I can’t let her down, now can I? I suggested that Fern get a job in the military, to prepare her for the hard work involved.

Friday, February 19th, 2010Hello… is anyone there? If you are, this is Cassandra Bachelor, and I am standing here, looking up at the stars…. trying in vain to make sense of the things which have happened in what seems like so short a time.
Where do I begin?
I suppose, with my mother, Bella Bachelor, who started life in Sunset Valley as the daughter of Simis and Jocasta Bachelor, sister of Michael & Matthew Bachelor and half-sister to Rene Kennedy.

Alexander was excited to be an uncle. He and Elaine had begun having babies long before and had, in fact, given birth to a handsome little boy, whom they named Galen. By the time Cassandra’s twins were born, Galen was already a toddler and soon to become a child … and Elaine was pregnant again. She was hoping for a girl this time, and they both were looking forward to seeing their new nieces, Elena and Fern.

Friday, February 12th, 2010After the wedding, Lester moved in with us. He brought very little money with him, but that was okay. For a while now, we have been quite okay as a family.
Indeed, I had a bit of a “secret stash” of things as it were. Not money, mind you, but heirlooms and items I’d found on my trips to Egypt and China. Things I wanted more than anything to pass down to my children along with the house. And I had been thinking about these things a lot more recently – maybe it was Dorothy’s death reminding me that neither Mortimer or I were getting any younger and that even if illness never befell either of us, someday the Reaper would come for us as well. It was, after all, the inevitable result of a long life.

I know what you’re probably thinking — and this isn’t it. This is really not what you’re thinking. Mortimer and I have had our tragic, torrid past, but it really is in the past. He came to tonight in a terrible state, upset beyond anything I’ve ever seen him.

Alexander’s birthday was the other day, and seeing him as a teenager is just like seeing his father as a teenager. If we put them in the same room, it would be impossible to deny that Mortimer is his father. It may be necessary to finally come clean to the children about their parentage. I’m just not sure how to go about it without making things difficult for Mortimer and Dorothy. Their marriage does not need to placed in jeopardy because of me or my family.

Cassandra and Alexander were so much older than their two new siblings that I think I had forgotten how hard it was to have a baby to care for. Only this time, I had two babies, a school aged boy, and a young woman on the verge of her own life.

Don left and life slowly went back to normal for Cassie, Alex and I.
Well, as much ‘back to normal’ as it was ever going to get.

Since our joyous reunion, Don had been more affectionate and amorous than he had been in a long time. He showered me with flirtatious advances, hugs and kisses, so much so that it was almost like falling in love all over again.
You know that warm glow? The one you get when love is new and wonderful?
I had not felt that way in a long, long time. Mortimer had been close friends for so long before we began to date, that we hit ‘comfortable’ almost right off the bat. After Mortimer, Don was ‘the consolation prize’ in a lot of ways. I tried not to think of him that way, but he really had been a rebound thing at first. But not anymore. He had proved himself to me over the years. He accepted Cassie and Alex as his own, even when they weren’t. He was supportive of our lives and my job.
He didn’t have to be, but he was.
And now that I was back from my trip, he was doing it again. Reminding me of why I was truly falling in love with him for real. Sweeping me off my feet all over again.
