Baby #13: One baby, two weddings, and three grandbabies?

 We begin this chapter by checking in on some of the other children.
First up is Evangeline.

Evangeline had moved in next door to Anastasia, in the Alto's old house.

She had also gotten engaged.
This man was very familiar.

 It was Alexander Robinson... Ryver's father.
- It's weird. Why would my daughter want to tap that after I tapped that?!
Love sees no boundaries!
- It's gross. She's Ryver's stepmom now. What the hell.
Oh get over it. Let your kid be happy.

And so she did. Alexander still had a crush on Ana, though, which could get awkward...

*~*

We move on now to our favorite criminal, Caspian.
It turns out that in the last few years, Caspian had done a lot that you guys didn't know about.
- Now Caspian, he has good taste in partners.
I know right?

 Why yes, that's Ana's newest and closest friend Vanessa Wood.
Caspian had taken quite a liking to her, and it was no secret that she was into him too.

 Yeah. They were REALLY into each other.

 So much so that Caspian actually wanted to commit to her.

Now, Caspian had something even bigger in mind.
So he set up a date to take Nessa out to a beautiful secluded park.

 You know, so he could ask her to marry him.

 And I mean, of course she said yes.
-He's a stud, she's a babe, it makes sense. The only thing I don't understand is how she's supposed to be married and continue her challenge...
Hello double life. ;D

(( And I'll take a moment to remind you all that whatever Nessa does here is completely under my control and has nothing to do with her challenge. xD ))

 This was the dress Nessa chose for their big day.
- I like the pink. Classy.

*~*

And now we'll return to Ana and the kids.
- We could start a band. Ana and The Kids. Are there even 100 instruments they could play?

 Mariposa on the left was ready to become a toddler, already, and Ryver was excited to enter teenhood.
Mind you, this was a late night party, and only one member of the household was missing.

Here's Ryver as a teen.
I really didn't think she'd be this beautiful from her childhood, but she proved me wrong.
- I seriously think I'll never have an ugly child.

 And that was Madison. She'd stayed out at the restaurant flirting with Ivan Fortier all night, and got caught by the cops. Hank Goddard drove her home.

 "Where the hell were you?" Ana screamed at her obviously terrified daughter.
"Uh. The Bistro?" Madison cowered.
"Just. Get out of my sight. I don't want to see you until the morning."
Since this was the first time Ana really had to discipline her child, she really wasn't any good at it.

 Mariposa was a gorgeous little toddler.
She inherited Enrique friggen Iglesias' dark brown hair and Ana's stunning blue eyes and skin color.

*~*

A few weeks later was Caspian and Nessa's wedding day.
It was a very small, very private ceremony - so private, in fact, that they were the only two there.
Nonetheless, they dressed up for the occasion.

 Mr. and Mrs. Caspian Vanderbilt.
Gorgeous couple, amirite?
- I'm still po'd that I wasn't invited.

*~*

 Evangeline also had a nice surprise for Ana.

 But Davy Linnel had the worst surprise of them all.
"Do you know why I called you over today, Davy?" Ana asked with measured patience.
"To watch your kids?" An educated guess was in Davy's response.
Anastasia laughed.
"What's so funny?" Davy wanted in on THAT joke.
"You, thinking you actually take care of kids!"
Ana stopped laughing and took on a completely serious expression.
"Now get out of my house, and NEVER come back."
"You... you still owe me $75!" Davy whined.
Ana told him to respectfully shove it and leave before she called the cops.

 Evangeline witnessed this whole charade, and laughed with her mother over the ordeal.
"I'll never hire his sorry butt!" Evangeline giggled.

*~*

More birthdays!

 Ashton turned out so well, as did the five Vanderbilts before him.

Ashton had plans for when he became a young adult.
They included this little lady:

 Bella Bachelor.
Similarly to when the two entered teenhood together, they entered young adulthood together.
- Didn't some wise woman once say the two would get married?
I don't know about wise, but yeah. (:

*~*

 Mariposa looks so much like Enrique!

 For the record, her first word was unicorn.
- Best first word ever.

 Ana worked on painting. I thought she was getting better.
I mean, this looked like a ball gown at first.
But then I realized it was a hay bale and got really disappointed.
- I tried okay? ;;


*~*

 Ana called Evangeline and invited her over, since she knew it was near her due date.
- I just wanted to see how big she got.
But Evangeline refused to come over?
"Seriously?" Ana was kind of offended.

 "Fine! I'll just come over there!"

Evangeline had indeed gotten HUGE.

 Sometimes, Spencer would just walk around until he found something fun to do.

He's so adorable.

*~*

 Bella and Ashton shared their first kiss as young adults.

 We've watched their love blossom from childhood up until now.

 Yeah, I think the journey's pretty complete now. >_>

 *~*

 Ana hired a new babysitter, this lovely girl named Candy Ashleydale.
- Yeah. She actually knows how to take care of kids. *still mad about Davy*
Since she felt that Cassandra, Spencer, and Mariposa were safe with Candy, she went to visit her new daughter-in-law and good friend Vanessa VANDERBILT. (:

 ... whom was very hard to track down because she was preggo swaggin' down the street randomly.

 Awh, she loves her baby.

- She better! And she better love MY baby too.

Caspian's full grown, you don't need to fret over him anymore...

 "I think it's a boy... that's about how hard Caspian would kick me!"
Ana's no doctor, but she has plenty of mother's intuition.

 Ana was trying to learn a new recipe from Nessa since she's a natural cook.
"Well, of course, I know that you stir it..."

Ana then demonstrated how to eat to Nessa.
"Ohmygosh! I had no clue how to eat. xD Thank you Ana!" Nessa took Ana's antics lightheartedly.
"I do what I can. :'D" 
And that's why they're friends. xD

 Their conversation continued and concluded with Ana listening to the baby.
"Maybe his first word can be Grandma. ... From the womb."

*~*

 Caspian was probably the only person more excited for this baby than his mother.

 The idea of having an heir to his evil throne must be enthralling.

 But, in all seriousness, he loves Nessa and loves that she wants to be with him, and to have kids with him.

 "And the teddy bear will act all nice, and pal up beside you... "

 "And then just jump out of NOWHERE and scare the bejeebus out of you. So, baby, beware of teddy bears."
Caspian is good at being a parent already.

*~*

Everyone seems to be growing up too fast.

 Cassie is a pretty gorgeous little girl, if I do say so myself.

 And Spencer is of course a very handsome boy.
The twins look so similar, even though they're very obviously fraternal.

 Due to the early morning birthdays, the girls were late to school and it became an extremely hectic morning.

*~*

But this day was better on Caspian and Vanessa's end.

 They had a surprisingly romantic outing to the art gallery before heading out to dinner at the bistro.

 After dinner, Caspian read a pregnancy book because that's how much he cares about Nessa and their baby.
- He's so... amazing... *sobs*
Get over yourself...

 Early in the morning, after Caspian had already left for work, Nessa's water broke.
- LOL! Creeper shot!

 Upon entering the hospital, we noticed this gentleman out front.
- Yes, it's true - Cowman got fat...

 Caspian showed up, exhausted, to be with his wife. Cute.

 Hours later, the couple emerged with a little baby boy: Blake Vanderbilt.
And yes, Christopher Steel just stood outside the hospital for hours.
It's the truth.

*~*

At this point, I'd also like to note that Evangeline had her baby as well - a son whom was named Jereme.

*~*

 Time flew by and it was already time for Blake to become a toddler.

 Carbon. Copy. Of Caspian. Seriously.
We have another heartbreaker on our hands.

 And daddy loves his little mini-me.

*~*

You remember that cop that brought Madison home earlier?
Hank Goddard?

 Why yes, that would be Madison making a move on him while her mother wasn't home.
- She's only a little bit of a problem child...

Speaking of problem children, we've found that Cassie has a little problem herself.
Yeah, she randomly tries to beat herself up... NBD.

 *~*

Ana has been slacking when it comes to her challenge.
So of course, this next guy was perfect for it.
He knew all the rules and was only in town to take part in challenges.
It was quick, this conception - getting right down to business.

 Yes, this is that man - Eddie Rosado. A friend, Dawn Turner, let him know about Ana's challenge and he showed up the next day.
Of course, he also heard about Ana's skill in massage therapy, so she happily showed him her magic hands before getting the deed done.

 Plus one little thank you kiss, because let's face it - he was cute.
- And ripped.

 Before...

 During...

 And after.
Who in their right mind wears jeans and a button up to bed?
- Easier to get dressed and make a run for it if they're basically the same clothes. Duh.
Sorry, one night stands aren't my forte. e-e

*~*

I'm sure we all remember Chloe - who could forget her?
Beautiful face, gorgeous green skin...

 And hot roommate.
Jung Newbie was that hot roommate, the grandson of Violet Newbie.

 Evangeline obviously thought he was cute, too. They got close.

 REALLY close.

 So close that they became one, really.

 Ironically, Ana called right after Jung took Chloe out to dinner for the first time.
An elated Chloe told her mom all about her amazing new boyfriend.

*~*

 Once again, I have awesome timing and came back to this.
- You're just out to embarrass me. D:
It's natural, okay? Don't feel bad.

 *~*

Ana went over to Ashton and Bella's house that night. She missed both of them - Bella had practically been part of the family since her childhood.

 She didn't expect to come to this.
Or for Bella's water to break immediately after inviting her inside.

 There was an interesting congregation at the hospital, which Ana immediately drove Bella to.
Caspian was there, as well as Eddie, the father of baby #13.
Interesting.

 Even though he had just been through this with Nessa not too long ago, Caspian freaked out.

Ana and Bella just looked at him like he was on crack.

 And Eddie joined in on the freaking out. xD

 But after calming down, Caspian decided to kick this girl's - excuse my language - ass.

 Yeah, completely kick her ass, for no apparent reason.

 And then laugh maniacally after. Awesome.
-He's still my favorite. I'm sure she deserved it.

Ana went home with Bella, Ashton, and the new addition, Fabian, to make sure they were all okay.
And to gossip about the fight Caspian got into.

*~*

 Mariposa was potty trained first, because dirty diapers are nasty.

 Ana then found out she was pregnant. But instead of rubbing her tummy,
she of course had to react like this first.

 Even though we all know she needs to do this before we can move on. e-e

 *~*

Ryver was jealous of Madison and Kennedy's relationship.
She wished she had a twin, but older sisters would have to do.

 They played catch with quite impressive postures before it was finally time for the twin girls' birthday.

 They looked at each other knowingly, recognizing how awesome young adulthood and moving out would be.

 They each made a wish and blew out the candles.
Madison wished that she'd find some cute guy to work with at the hospital.
Kennedy was more practical and wished for a long life or something of that sort.

 Madison didn't change very much. She even kept the same outfit because everyone loved it on her.

 Kennedy and Madison have pretty much the exact same facial features, which is more obvious now than when they were younger.

 Kennedy loved Ana, and her siblings, but came to terms with leaving relatively quickly.
She hugged her mom and left. No big deal.

 Madison had pretty much the same reaction - leaving the house you grew up in? Hard.
Leaving your parent? Not QUITE as hard.

 Geoffrey came over after much coaxing, since Ana was less than polite last time they met.
He informed her that finally she was going to have a boy.

 "Listen, Geoff. I need your opinion. Cassie has been acting strange. She randomly.. chokes herself, kinda. And pretends to punch herself in the face. Is there anything I can do?"
"I'm pretty sure she's insane, Ana. I'm sorry." Geoffrey was being genuine for once.

 "But Mariposa - I'm pretty sure she'll be normal. In case you were worried."
"I was... thanks."

 ... What is going on here?
- Just showing Geoff I appreciate him.
He's MARRIED.
- Eh.

 Labor strikes again!

 Preggo swaggin' out to the car.

 Ryver responsibly got up and called a babysitter, since she, Cassie, and Spencer would be going to school soon, and someone needed to be home with Mariposa.

 A little more preggo swag, just because we all enjoy it.

 Eddie showed up much more calmly than he had been the last time we saw him.

And the two of them did indeed come out with a boy.
Welcome to Sunset Valley, Damon Vanderbilt!
