Chapter 5 – Double Trouble

Time passed so quickly in the Sterling household. Both Lucian and Daphne where getting so big. Lucian had got on the honor roll and Daphne could walk, talk and use the potty. Life was all good, especially since Luxor had yet to return.


It was soon time for Daphne’s birthday and Kisha baked her a special cake to celebrate. It was only Daphne and Kisha though, Lucian was still mad at the both of them.
(Daphne gained the Never-Nude trait)

It wasn’t long after the cake was sliced and Kisha started to take her first bite when a nauseous feeling erupted inside her sending her in a hurry into the bathroom.
Lucian and Daphne did finally start getting along at least in the since that they could be in the same room with each other. Daphne, like her older brother Lucian, really liked playing in the bathroom. She would dress up like a princess and follow Lucian in the bathroom where he went to play with Pal. Kisha never understood why her children wanted to be in the bathroom all the time.
Time passed on and it took no time for her belly to protrude and the fact could no longer be regarded as false, she was for sure pregnant. Pregnant with a baby she didn’t feel right having.
Not much happened during this pregnancy, Lucian and Daphne went to school and spend most of their time in the bathroom playing with their odd dolls. Kisha spent most of her time getting ready for the new baby. She seemed to be bigger this time around but she just figured the baby was huge the thought of having multiples never crossed her mind.

The day Lucian finally became an adult finally came so Kisha made his f
d between the two of them. Lucian stepped up to the cake and paused before blowing out the candles.

“I wish to make Pal real to show mom I’m not crazy,” Lucian said under his breath as he went to blow out his candles.
As Lucian aged into a teen, Kisha felt a very familiar pain in her stomach. She had go into labor once again.
(Lucian gained the Coward trait)

When Lucian saw that his mother was in labor he just left the room. He hated that he was going to have another sibling he wanted nothing to do with it. Lucian went outside to occupy his time till the new member of the family was born.  Kisha stood in the kitchen all alone as she kept calm threw the labor awaiting the arrival of her new child. The first child came pretty quickly, it was a little girl with dark brown hair that she named Felicity. With a sigh of relief Kisha started to head from the kitchen with Felicity in tow when the pain started again. It couldn’t be, but it was, twins!
Felicity Sterling (Happy Girl) Brave, Good
Fleur Sterling (Flower) Friendly, Loves the Outdoors

While standing outside alone, Lucian took Pal out and set him on the ground. 

“I knew my wish wouldn’t come true.” Lucian said with a sigh then kicked Pal over. “Stupid doll.”

Lucian turned to go inside when a purple flame caught his attention. He turned to see it Pal was engulfed in the purple flame. All Lucian could do was staring at the flame and watch his doll grow and change into a dark skin blue haired teen. 

“Hello Lucian” The teen said and Lucian just stood there with his mouth wide open.
Back inside Daphne was terrorizing the dining room with the idea she was a queen. It was turning out that she was very much like her brother, too bad he couldn’t see that she looked up to him.
She played awhile in the dining room before she headed outside where she found a raccoon. Daphne, being who she was wanted to play with it. 

“Come here kitty. You are just like the ones I have here. I love kitties!” Daphne said to the raccoon who just looked at her. Daphne bent down and put her hand out to pet it. “Come kitty I won’t hurt you.” Daphne had almost put her hand on it when it reached out with its paw and stratched her. Daphne jumped back pulling her hand to her chest. “Bad kitty, get out of here!” Daphne yelled picking up a rock and throwing it at the raccoon. “I don’t like you!” The raccoon took off and Daphne ran inside to tell her mother.
Time passed rather quickly for this happy family. Kisha had took to being the mother of twins well along with having adopted Pal. Kisha spent a lot of time with her ever growing family has the holiday season rapidly aproched. 

It was Christmas Eve and the house had been all decorated for the event.
Kisha had instructed all her children to dress in their very best outfits for a family photo. It was easier said than done in the case of Daphne who wanted to wear her swimsuit. It took a while to convince her to wear her Christmas dress. Once everyone was dressed they all went and stood next to the tree. Pal held Felicity and Lucian, who was finally warming up to having siblings, held Fleur while Daphne and Kisha stood next to them. With the camera set to go off they all squeezed together for their first family photo.
After the pictures were taken Kisha started handing out gifts, she didn’t have much money so she got each child one gift each. Kisha pulled out the twins toys first, a tiger stuffed, the girls took to them quick chewing on the ears. Next up with Daphne, with a sigh Kisha gave her strangest child her present.

“I hope you like it Daphne.” Kisha said as she held it out to Daphne.

“Is it garbage?!? Oh it would be so GREAT if it was! I could make so many new toys out of it!” Daphne said taking the gift and shaking it. Kisha shook her head as she watched Daphne play with the wrapped box.
Kisha left Daphne to play with her box and took Pal a gift. “I hope you like it Pal, I really didn’t know what to get you. If you don’t like it I’ll take it back and get you something new.”

“Thanks, Kisha, I’m sure I will love it.” Pal said taking the gift and slowly unwrapping it to find a football. Pal looked at the gift then up to Kisha. “I love it.” He lied as he walked away to go play with Felicity.
Kisha looked around for her first born and he was no where to be seen and neither was Fleur. Kisha knew that Lucian had taken a real liking to Fleur and knew that they would be together. She headed upstairs and into the nursuary where she found Lucian and Fleur playing with her new tiger. 

“Excuse me, Lucian, I have something for you too.” Kisha said looking down at her two children sitting on the ground playing.

“I don’t want it you can give it to someone else.” Lucian didn’t even turn and look at his mother he just pulled Fleur into his lap and held her tight. “Just leave us be, please.” He said kissing the top of his sister’s head.

“Lucian please just open the present you will love it. I got it just for you, baby boy.” Kisha stepped forward bending down she put the present down next to him. “Please Lucian.” Kisha kissed the top of her son’s head and whispered. “I love you my Lucian.” She stood back up and slowly walked towards the door. 

Lucian turned his head to look at the gift with tears in his eyes. He placed Fleur on the ground and stood up and ran to his mother. “Mom I’m sorry. I love you so much. I didn’t mean to cause so much trouble. I just didn’t like being the only boy in the house or having a weird sister like Daphne.”

Kisha pulled him into a hug and held him tight. “It is ok Lucian. I understand.”

Chapter 4 - Jealousy

The labor was terrible for Kisha and it seemed like it lasted forever. Once it was over she had a beautiful little girl who she named Daphne. Kisha was so surprised how much she looked like her father, Damon. She had his emerald green eyes and nose.

After getting Daphne down for the night Kisha went into Lucian’s bedroom and found him wide awake lying in his bed. He was traumatized over seeing him mother go into labor and she knew this so she wanted to comfort her little boy.


Kisha sat down next to Lucian. “Lucian, baby, are you alright?” She asked a look of concern on her face.


“I’m fine mom” Lucian said and rolled onto his side tears filling up in his eyes.

“Lucian I’m sorry you had to witness that but that is just a part of life. You should be happy you have a new baby sister, someone you can play with so you don’t have to spend all that time with your doll.” Kisha rubbed his side as she spoke.


“I didn’t want a sister. I was happy with it being just you and me. You won’t have any time for me now that Daphne is here.” Lucian sighed as his tears started to fall onto his pillow.


“Baby that will never happen you are my first born and you mean the world to me.”  Just then Daphne started crying and Kisha sighed. “I have to go tend to her Lucian.” Kisha stood up and kissed the top of his head, “I love you Lucian and don’t you ever forget that.”


(I love this picture of Kisha playing with Daphne. I just had to share it)


Time passed slowly and Lucian became more and more elusive. He spent all his time in the first floor bathroom with his doll. It seemed like that was the only thing Lucian liked. Kisha tried many times to get him to spend time with her and Daphne but he always said no and would go back to playing with Pal.

One night while Kisha was teaching Daphne to talk Lucian snuck down into the bathroom with Pal. They played there for a while before Lucian got up and walked over to the toilet. 


“If she won’t play with me then I’ll just have to make her pay!” He said evilly as he bent down and worked on the toilet.
Lucian picked up Pal and snuck back into the dining room to play. A few hours later Kisha emerged from the stairs and headed into the bathroom. As she went to flush the toilet erupted splashing water all over her and the bathroom.

Lucian peaked into the bathroom and laughed then ran out, but Kisha had caught a peak of him before he got away. Kisha marched into the dining room where she found Lucian standing on a chair dressed as a king playing with Pal.


“Lucian you are in big trouble mister!” Kisha shouted.


Lucian climbed down from the chair and looked at his mother; he tried his best to keep a straight face but couldn’t. “Mom you are all wet what happened?” He asked trying to sound innocent but the look on his face gave him away.

“You know what happened, Lucian. You did this.” She said sternly the floor became soaked as she stood there speaking to him. “Why, Lucian, why did you do this?”


“I didn’t do anything mom, why do you always blame me?” Lucian asked.


“I saw you peak in Lucian I know you did this. Why did you do it?”


Tears filled up Lucian’s eyes as he looked up at his mother. “Because you have Daphne! I want to be the center of attention. I want you to only be mine. I hate her!”


“How dare you say that about your sister, she loves you. You are grounded, Lucian, go to your room.”


“But mom…” Lucian pleaded.


“NOW.” She shouted 

Lucian left the room crying and Kisha sunk down into one of the chairs. She had never yelled at him before but she had to do it. She had to be the one in charge. She sat there for a long time thinking about all that had happened. Kisha started to rise from her chair when she heard a ruckus outside. Kisha ran to the window where she saw a man picking up her trashcan. 


Kisha ran to the door and out onto the lawn. “What are you doing?” she asked the strange man.


“Oh sorry about that I was on my way home and tripped over it.” He shook his head, “It always happens.”


“A bit clumsy are we?” Kisha said with a laugh as she walked over to the man. “I’m Kisha Sterling the owner of the trashcan.” She held her hand out to him. 
He took her hand and shook it firmly “Pleasure to meet you, Kisha, I’m Fred, Fred Jones.”

“Nice to meet you too, Fred.” Kisha said smiling at him. Then something very familiar happened, the burning in her wrist started and she knew it was Luxor telling her it was time for more children.  “Would you like to come in?” Kisha asked with a heavy heart.


“I would love to.” He said and they walked into the house together.


Kisha made them some sandwiches and went into the dining room. They talked for hours just like they were old friends. Then one thing led to another and Kisha leaned in and kissed Fred. When she realized what she had done she pulled away.

“I…I’m so sorry I don’t know what got into me.” She said blushing. “You should….”


Fred didn’t even let her get the words out before he pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips to hers. “It’s fine. I’ve wanted to do that since the first time I saw you.”

“What do you mean?” Kisha asked as she looked into his eyes. 


Fred looked down, “I saw you months ago outside playing with a little girl. I wanted to come over then but I didn’t have the courage to.” Fred looked back up into her eyes. “I’ve not been with a woman since my girlfriend passed away.”


A lump formed in Kisha’s throat as she looked at Fred. How could she do this to him, she didn’t want to hurt him anymore than he already hurt. “Fred… I’m not good for you. You should go and forget you ever met me.” Kisha said pulling from his arms.


“Kisha you are perfect… Just let me stay one night with you then you will never see me again… Please?” Fred asked pulling her back into his arms and kissing her cheek. 


“Fred… no” She said but it was too late he pulled her upstairs into her bedroom.


With one last kiss Fred got out of bed want quickly got dressed. “Thank you Kisha. I wish you the best.” He leaned down and kissed her hand and left, leaving Kisha there crying.

(Lucian being a dork playing on the chair. I just love this boy!)

Chapter 3 – Bathroom Trouble

Time passed quickly and it was time for Lucian’s birthday. To Kisha it seemed impossible for her baby to be growing older already, but she was happy because with him growing older they’d be able to do more fun things together.
Kisha figured it was time for young Lucian to start learning some of his basic skills like walking; he was getting to heavy to carry around all the time. Lucian learned to walk rather quickly and was running around their home in no time getting into everything.
On day after Kisha had laid Lucian down for a nap and headed into her own room for one she heard a knock on the door. She found this quite odd; Kisha had not really met anyone since she moved to Riverview.
As she opened the door the man was walking away so she called to him.


“Can I help you?” Kisha asked closing to door and stepping off the porch to catch up to the man.


“Oh sorry to bother you miss, my name is Damon Santiago and I’m new to town and I just live down the road.” Damon said as he held our his hand to her with a smile on his face.


“It is nice to meet you Damon, I’m Kisha Sterling.” She shook his hand.
Kisha and Damon stood outside talking for hours about their lives and about moving to the same small town. Kisha had taken a great liking to Damon, he made her laugh and she loved that in a man.
It seemed like no time and the sun had gone down. Damon grabbed Kisha’s hand and held them tightly as he looked into her eyes.


“You mind if I come back and see you tomorrow?” Damon asked as he rubbed the top of her hand with his thumb.
“Of course I don’t mind.” Kisha said with a giggle she turned her head as she started to blush. How could she have fallen for someone so quickly it seemed impossible as she had never believed in love at first sight.


They said their good-byes but not before a quick unexpected kiss on Kisha’s part. She really liked him and could see a life with him and her son, but was not sure how he felt about that since they had only known each other for a few hours.
As she pulled her lips away from his the fimilliar pain in her arm returned.


“Are you okay?” Damon asked with a worried look and grabbed Kisha’s hand.


“I… I’m fine just a little pain in my…”


Everything went black as Kisha collapsed on the ground.


“Stupid girl what do you think you’re doing?” A very familiar voice said in the back of her mind. “You can’t fall in love, you belong to me remember!” Luxor’s voice grew louder and more sturn.


There was silence and then laughter erupted. “This will be the last time you see him, after you conceive his child he will loss all memory of you. Don’t go see him after then or his child will be punished.”


When Kisha’s eyes finally opened a concerned Damon was standing above her. Without a word he reached around pulling her into his arms and slowly stood up with her in his arms.
Damon carried her into the house and up into her bedroom, how he knew where her room was baffled her.  He placed Kisha in bed and crawled in bed with her. Without speaking one thing happened after another and the dead was done and Damon strutted out of her house. It was the oddest experience she had ever had and was sure Luxor had something to do with this.
It had been a month since the incident with Damon and he had yet to call her or even come by. A few times Kisha had seen him out and called to him but he didn’t even turn his head and acknowledge her. It was like she was invisible to him. Kisha soon gave up and went back to focusing all her time on Lucain.


One evening while Kisha was trying to potty train Lucian semi familiar sickness struck. She tried to pass it off as long as she could but it was no use she had to try and get rid of the feeling.


(And this is what Lucian does while Kisha pucks.)


It took no time for Kisha to figure out that her little moment with Damon had resulted in her getting pregnant. This pregnancy was going to be different this child was going to be with a man she seriously believed she was in love with.
For some reason Lucian spent a lot of time in the upstairs bathroom with some doll. Kisha found it very odd it seemed every time Kisha went to find Lucian he was in the bathroom and the toilet was clogged. She was constantly unclogging it which became harder and harder as her pregnancy progressed.
Kisha was 8 months pregnant when it came time for Lucian’s birthday. It brought tears to her eyes when he blew out his candles she was not ready to let him grow up and go to school.
(Lucian gained the snob trait)


(Love how Lucian crossed his eyes when he aged up. It took forever for them to go normal though)


Lucian became a real character he always took up court in the dining room, though his only subject was his doll Pal.
Lucian was also very excited about getting a new sibling he constantly spent time talking to and rubbing Kisha’s tummy. She was so happy that he wanted this sibling and that he seemed to be nothing like his father.  Kisha loved Lucian dearly and knew he was the only good thing Luxor would ever give her.
As Kisha’s due date grew closer problems in the bathroom started again. Lucian spent more and more time in the bathroom it seemed every time he went in the bathroom the toilet would clog.


“Mom I swear I didn’t do it this time it was Pal,” Lucian pleaded to Kisha. “Pal got mad that I didn’t want to play. He put the whole roll in and tried to flush it.”


“Lucian, Pal is a doll how can he put things in the toilet?” Kisha said as she leaned over the toilet.
“He comes to life mom I swear!” Lucian said with tears in his eyes. “Why don’t you believe me?”


Kisha pulled the plunger out and flushed the toilet and started walking towards the door, “Because it is impossible Lucian.” Kisha sighed and shook her head. “Why can’t you just tell the truth?”


“It is all your fault Pal!” Lucian said under his breath.


Kisha reached for the door knob when she went into labor.


(I LOVE this picture of Kisha, she caught Lucian talking to Pal)
