Chapter Twelve
Birthdays
The next year flew by, and Alayna woke up early one morning to take care of the babies, then she left the sleeping babies, and Christopher at home while she went into town to register as a Self-Employed Painter at City Hall.
It was a big step in her life, but she finally gain enough skills to register as Self-Employed Painter. It meant she could now sell more painting to the locals and give a name to herself. People would know who she was and want to buy her paintings.
Afterwards, she went to the store and bought three birthday cakes. It was the girls 1st birthdays, and she couldn't wait. She wanted to get the birthdays over with as soon as possible before Christopher had to go to work. She didn't want him to miss it.
However, when they got home they had to take care of the babies by snuggling, changing diapers, playing with, and feeding them, before they could even start with any of the birthdays.
Finally, it was all done, and Alayna grabbed Brie Anna since she was born first.
It was hard to tell who Brie might look like, but Christopher swore she would be beautiful like her mommy.
Alayna rolled her eyes, but smiled at Christopher. She knew Brie definitely had her hair color and eye color.
However, it was cut short, when the car pull up outside, honked it's horn and Christopher aplogize for missing the other girls birthdays, and then ran out to catch the ride.
Alayna noticed that the bills where due and that something was in the mailbox. It seemed her parents had sent the girls a birthday gifts. Each girl recieved a doll. An ugly doll, but her mom wrote that each doll was very special.
Alayna didn't give it much more thought, and Bethany Marie had her birthday next.
However, Alayna noticed Bethany pointing her finger.
It seemed Bethany was already picking on her sister, Brie.
Bethany had dark brown hair and her mother's green eyes. Alayna wondered where the dark hair came from. Well, once she thought about it, her mom was blond, but her mom's dad had dark hair. So, maybe, Bethany got it from her grandpa.
Alayna didn't have time to think about it and picked up Brooke Lynne for her birthday.
Brooke seemed a little grumpy. She looked like her daddy with his hair color, however, she had her mommy's eye color. All three girls had their mommy's eye color.
Alayna was so happy with the birthdays and the way the girls grew up. They were now toddlers and Alayna felt sad.
Her babies were growing up, and she suddenly had a want for another baby.
As she ate the birthday cake, she knew that yes, the girls' first year was rough, but Alayna was making better money now with her painting and Christopher had gotten his promotion about 6 months ago. Things were looking better. Yes, they didn't have a lot of money in the bank, but she really enjoyed being a mom, and realize she couldn't wait to have more.
She did feel sad that Christopher had to miss the other girls birthdays.
She finished her cake and started with potty training the girls.
She didn't make it in time for Brooke and Brooke was not happy about it.
After she cleaned Brooke up and feed all the girls. She let them set down and play with their new gifts from grandma and grandpa Helms - Lear.
All three girls took to their new gifts and started singing to the dolls. It was so cute.
However, Alayna thought they were the ugliest dolls she had ever seen.
Christopher came home later that night and helped Alayna put the girls to bed. He was sad that he missed their birthdays, but was so proud of them.
He went to bed that night with Alayna saying something about wanted another child.
Christopher didn't know if she was just tired from the long day, or if she was being serious. Either way, dreams of another child filled him with joy, but also dread. How could they possibly afford another child?
This ends Chapter Twelve. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for reading.
