With a Little Bit of Luck--Baby 36

 It, of course, was time for birthdays at the Mistoffelee's house.

 Abigail was...Wow.  She looked exactly like her father, but was a vampire.

 Arianna looked like Leiah, yep, everything was Leiah. 

 Matthias continued to be a handsomely cute young lad.  He was super smart and always getting a laugh out of somebody.  He's going to make a great husband when he grows up.

 Andy was a gorgeous Young Adult, but she had gained some weight.

 She swore that she hadn't been eating more than normal, and so the doctors checked her out.  Turns out Andy had a medical condition where her body was absorbing all fluids, making her super bloated.

 They gave her minor surgery to correct the problem, and once she was given the okay, Andy went straight to exercising.

 

 Wow, Anna was her aunt.  It was crazy how similar the two were.

 

 With the same hairstyle, the only difference between the two was that Anna didn't have her aunt's trademark freckles, and that she had Leiah's blue eyes. 

 Anna was her own person though, and so she changed her hairstyle.

 Thank goodness she definitely did not get the same disease that Andy had.

 After doing her hair, Anna joined her sister in working out.  She definitely didn't need it, but it helped Andy to keep going.

 Andy was losing weight super quickly, and was already almost half the size that she was.

 After putting away the cake, Leiah joined her girls.

 Less than a day after she was given the okay to start working out, Andy was back to her original shape.

To celebrate, she gave herself a makeover.  She looked gorgeous!  Leiah really didn't care if her kids were bigger, she just wanted them to be healthy.

Thomas was a handsome teenager, and he continued to prove everyone wrong with just how smart he was.

Camryn was his father, big time.  He was smart, and a workaholic.  Leiah almost worried about him sometimes he worked so much.

As much as Leiah really hated it, Anna and Andy HAD to go.  The house was getting full.

Leiah was trying to find Anna to give her a hug, but Anna was nowhere to be found.  Leiah finally found her outside on the swings, embracing the last few moments of her childhood.

Leiah gave her daughter a warm hug.

There was no doubt that both the girls would be extremely successful in whatever they did.  They were both smart, gorgeous young ladies.

Speaking of smart, Thomas has found solace in playing the guitar.  He's really very good at it too.

Leiah was still loving sleeping at night.  That shouldn't be such an interesting discovery, but it was.

Leiah loved sleeping when the rest of her kids were sleeping...Well, most of them anyways...  She couldn't account for the twins.  Poor Abigail fell asleep on the floor, and Arianna was screaming her little head off.

Luckily, Leiah has two very good boys.

They each took a baby.

And, half an hour later, both girls were sleeping soundly.

Leiah woke up early, before the sun was even fully up, so she went outside to play on the trampoline.  She was enjoying doing flips and such.

She had to get inside and start breakfast though, because it was about time for the kids to be getting up.

She made pancakes.  Apparently putting plasma fruit in your pancakes when you aren't a vampire isn't a good idea.

Arianna and Abigail were super smart, and they could already talk.  

"Sister, we should trick mommy.  We'll both have dirty diapers at the same time!"

Abigail said with an evil grin.

Arianna smiled back with her own evil smile.

It was time Leiah got pregnant, so she went about town.  Of course the first place to look was the salon!  She found an interesting man there by the name of Juan Darer,  He had light red skin, and an erm...interesting nose.

Leiah introduced herself, and by now, Juan knew who she was.

"So honestly, it would be really awesome if you could be in my challenge."

"Actually, I am getting older, and I don't think there is much hope for me of finding a wife anymore...At least not one that can bear children..."

"So I'd be honored.  I'll need to do it after my shift though, so I'll see you at your house tonight?"

Leiah agreed and they both smiled at each other for a moment, before Leiah went home.

Later that night, Leiah texted Juan asking him to come over.

He ran there immediately, guess he was excited.

He hugged her right away.

"Thank you so much for giving me this privilege."

He may not have been the snazziest dresser, but he was kind, and that spoke for a lot.

They got to know each other, and flirted a little bit, before...

Leiah broke in the new elevator.  She was thrilled to hear the same tinkling sounds of a lullaby.

Leiah always felt guilty right after she slept with a baby daddy.  Her kids HAD to know, and it was awkward for her.  Especially because the kids had stayed upstairs since the elevator had been "occupado"

One thing Leiah loved to do was dance.  It got her mind off of things, and she could just have fun.

She was however interrupted by the wonderful nausea.

Poor little Abigail had woken up and was screaming her eyes out for attention.

Thomas went to help at exactly the same time Leiah did.  She let him take care of the twins, but she kept an eye on him.

She needn't have worried however, a little while later, both girls were happily eating.

He even got the plasma/formula combination perfect.

Leiah looked at herself in the mirror, did she really need all that makeup?

Reading Amber Lights' blog,(Which you can find here ) Leiah came across this no-makeup contract, and she decided to sign it, along with a few other mothers.

So here she is with zero makeup on.

Matthias and Leiah still had a close relationship, even though Leiah was no longer a vampire.  They discussed about the days when Matthias grew up, when he could become a human.  He was so excited, but Leiah wasn't positive yet that it would work on born vampires.

She was interrupted again by the ever-present, fun, vomiting.

Leiah woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't figure out why, until she realized that she was feeling flutters against her skin.  

"Hi there baby.  Mommy loves you."

Thomas had found a friend in Lolly Racket.

But he quickly developed a crush on her.

They slowly got closer, until Thomas made a decision.

He asked Lolly to be his girlfriend.

Her mouth fell open and they leaned their heads against each other.  

"Yes."
Lolly breathed.

They made a decision to save their first kiss, and said goodbye to each other late at night.

Andy was holding a sort of home-warming party.  Since Leiah wasn't heavily pregnant, she decided to go.

Just for a change of pace, it was a formalwear party, and Leiah wished she could've worn something fancier, but this is all she had for maternity formal clothes.  Maya was the only other one there, and Anna was working, so it was a very small party.

Andy was making a salad, she was deathly afraid of being "Fat" again, and was definitely being careful.

Once she was done cooking, she washed her hands and came over to feel the baby move.

They talked for a while, Leiah resting her hand on her stomach.

It was late though, so Leiah hugged her daughter goodbye and went home.

The baby was growing quickly, very quickly.

"Mom, I really love Lolly, and Camryn and I are getting good grades, and I want to ask Lolly to marry me, and..."  Thomas said, speaking quickly without stopping.

"Woah, slow down and take a breath Thomas.  If you both want to grow up, then I suppose you can."

Leiah replied.

So she bought 3 cakes.  Yes 3, Lolly was still a teen and got permission from her parents to grow up.

"1.." Thomas said.

"2.."Camryn said.

"3.."Lolly said.

On the count of 3, they all blew out their candles and grew up.

Thomas was a very handsome young man, and Leiah knew that Lolly was a lucky girl.

He was really skinny, but strong.

He even had his tux picked out already.

Camryn was his father in a nutshell.  He was handsome, and still a workaholic.

Lolly was, in her own sense, beautiful.  Because of the way her nose, eyebrows, and mouth were; she looked perpetually angry.  But she wasn't.  Underneath there was a bubbly girl.

"Dude, I'm so nervous."
Thomas confided in his brother, moments before he was going to propose to Lolly.

He was on his way to where Lolly was outside, when Leiah went into labor.

"MOM!"

Thomas screamed.

"Well I'm sorry Thomas that I can't control when your siblings decide to come out!"
Leiah said through gritted teeth.

"Go, propose, I'll be fine!"
Leiah told Thomas.

Leiah went to her room where Matthias was watching TV, and shoo'ed him out so that she could have a quiet birth.

Thomas found Lolly, the love of his life, outside.

"Lolly, I love you, and I knew it the moment I saw you."

She must have not expected what he was about to do, because when he got down on one knee, her mouth fell open.

"Lolly, will you marry me?"

Thomas asked her with a goofy grin.

By now, Lolly was jumping up and down, crying, and nodding her head up and down.

He gently put the ring on her finger and moved to stand up.

She was staring at the shining diamond ring on her finger and squealing.

They gave each other a big hug, deciding to save their first kiss for their wedding.

Meanwhile, back on the farm, Leiah was only giving birth.

And it only hurt a lot.

6 hours after labor started, Leiah grinned, knowing this was it.

She held baby 36 in front of her.  

"I think I will call you Flor.  Flor Mistoffelees, because you are my little flower."

Leiah smiled, it had been a really long night, but it was all worth it.  She was about to have a daughter-in-law, and she had a new baby girl.  Things were going pretty well.
