The Change Legacy

I was back on top again, and had started to work hard on my garden again. A day the bistro called me for making a deal. If i delivered a box of the best groceries from my garden they would help me with growing new things. So i went to the bistro and we got the deal.

Soon we had a lot of birthdays to celebrate. First of it was the twins or rather Carmelo. His hair was growing strong and had the beautiful green color like mine. Carmelo was also the only of our kids how had his fathers eyes.

Then it was Iris turn. She had her fathers brown hair and it was long and wild. She had my green eyes though and i swear i sometimes see them glow in the dark.

In the same evening also Dahlia got older. My little sunshine how just had learn to talk and walk was now ready for school. She wasnt very excited about it then she didnt want to leave the garden and sit indoor all day. But i promised her if she got good grades she could help me in the garden when she was ready for high school.

The nights where hard with all the little ones who didnt wanted to sleep at the same time. So Buck and i started taking shift with them a night. The only one who didnt minded them screaming was Dahlia who after playing in the garden all day sleept through every noise.

Dahlia wasnt not very happy that morning when she had to go to school. But we convinced her with a promise. For her birthday she had asked for a easel but we didnt had the money for it. But this morning Buck told me he had seen one for sale. So as soon as Dahlia got home from school she asked Buck to move the easel out to my garden so she could start paint.

Im not feeling very young any longer and who wonders. After the birth of our four lovely children i felt the time catching me too. I turned 35 that night. I had just cleaned the toilet when i realized that i was a full grown adult now.

It was birthday on birthday, in our little house. The next one was our little genius Ashton. Ashton grew up to look a lot more like me but in one thing we where more than different. If we asked him to come out and play or go on a fishing trip with us he refused he rather wanted to sit inside in his bed and read or think.

Ashton and Dahlia was going to the same school and because it was quite a long walk i let them drive with the bus. As i saw them inside the bus it looked like Ashton was ready to protect his elder sister. What a silly idea, then neither Dahlia nor her teacher had spoken about problems in school.

Besides his work Buck has now been working on our kitchen for months and finally he called me inside one day.
“What do you think my Rose,” he asked with proud in the voice.
It was small and we couldnt eat in it but it was beautiful and i had all the items i needed for cooking proper meals for the family. Instead of answering him with words i just kissed him.

I was on the phone with the dear Colten Case from the other side of the town when i heard the news about my new baby sister. My mother had had a hard pregnancy with little Acacia but they where both well now. But more was happening in my family Susie and Derreck had broken up. Apparently because they werent allowed to meet very often.

Dahlia was our little sunshine, we used every spare minute to teach her to talk, walk and use her little potty. She loved us both but she clearly was Mommy’s little daughter. She always where in the same room as me and even if i was working she came crawling and started digging with her little fingers.

Time was a lot faster than we where, and soon Trigger announced that he was getting married with a young girl named Linda. I was feeling some sickness and stayed home but Buck took to the wedding. He said it was beautiful and that Trigger never had been so happy since his mother died.

When Buck was a the wedding i was doing as much as i could in the garden, as i suddenly felt some pain in my stomach. I had gained some weight lately and now i had the feeling of being pregnant again, but i wasnt sure so i didnt tell Buck anything.

The night before Ashtons birthday i finally was so big that Buck could see i was pregnant.
“Im so happy we are having a little one more, my rose, i always loved having the house full of kids.”
As we stood their together, Buck started speaking, feeling and listening to the tummy.
“I think its a boy,” he said, “the little kicker is active.”

 
The next day we had little Ashtons birthday, we didnt invite any people just us four. He grew elder without his hair growing but we started seeing the little green tots. He was a little active bright brain and he loved to play with the few toys we could afford. He specially loved to play with the toy Dahlia currently had laid her hands on.

Buck started working on the house so we had some space for the little new one inside me. Even though we had taken every simileon we could for the new kitchen Buck wanted to build for me. I had a really hard time doing this pregnancy so i had to lay down many times a day just to relax.

 
We where at sleep on night when i suddenly felt a huge pain inside. I screamed my pain into the pillow so i didnt wake up the little ones. I woke up Buck with a worried look in the face.
“Its coming, dear!” I gasped, “It doesnt feel right, we need to go get help.”

 

He took my hand and we headed for the door. As Buck opened the door i couldnt hold my scream back any longer. This woke up both Dahlia and Ashton who started screaming too. It was to late we couldnt get help our new child was on its way out.

Buck was right a little boy, we named him Carmelo. But that wasnt the end of my pain. I couldnt understand it. Why didnt the pain go away. As i felt the second baby i new what was wrong. I was getting twins. The second little one was a girl, wíth the name Iris.

Buck had started expanding our little bedroom lately so there was space for the new edition to the family. But with twins we had to use our last spare money on another crip for the little ones. We were trying to get enough money so Buck could build the kitchen but the kids where more important.

Buck really loved his children he help me out where he could the months after the birth of the children and when he had some spare time he teaches them their skills. The only thing that concerned me what that he had to work so late at the mausoleum, he always looked so sad and tired when he came home.

Not long after Dahlia was born i started working in the garden again. Buck still helped me out where ever i needed it then he didnt want me to overwork myself. At first it was very hard for me leaving the bedroom where Dahlia was sleeping but i wanted to farm again so i opened the window a bit so i could hear her from the garden if she was screaming.

I was a bit afraid because my Mother wont take the phone when i was calling her lately so i asked Buck to go pick her up for me.
“Mother!,” i said gladly, “I have some great news for you. Please come and see your first granddaughter.”
“Not so fast my dear,” she said, “I cant go faster, we just discovered that you are getting a younger sibling.”
“Im so happy for you Mother, you always wanted more kids.”

“She is a sweet pie my dear, but look at you dear, you look like you could use some sleep, the first pregnancy is hard. Take some rest ill watch over my little granddaughter until Buck comes home again.”
“Thank you Mother,” i said and got in bed. I fall asleep as soon as i lay down, knowing everything was alright.
Daffodil took up Dahlia: “My little sweet pie, i hope you, your mother and you siblings will never find out what i know about the Brokes.

As soon as Buck came home Mother left again. They never really talk with each other, its nearly like they are avoiding something. Buck had worked hard that night and gotten the last possible promotion at the Mausoleum. But he also turned 50 that night, not that you could se it on him.

I got the message that i had gotten a little sister, and they named her Winter because she was born in a cold month. We had to celebrate an other birthday too. It seemed like yesterday that i had given birth to Dahlia. She grew up, and her hair had started showing. It was green just like mine, and she definitely had my green eyes to.

I was also pregnant again. I didnt knew before i felt the first kick inside my tummy. It must be a boy Buck laughed with all that kicking. And i hope he was right. I always wanted to have both a girl and a boy. It was long before we found out then my water broke a night not long after when Buck was at work.

The birth was much easier this time i wasnt afraid and the little one came to this world without any problems. It was a boy and we had decided to name him Ashton. Ashton skin was green like mine and his eyes also, and even if I could be wrong im sure that I saw some green hair on his head too.

We had bought an other crib so there was a place for everybody to sleep. I adored my two children. They where the love of my life, as so was Buck. We where one little happy family. I couldnt wish for more. The only ones who wasnt really happy where Mother and Father, even though they should be. I was happily married and had two healthy children. And Derreck my dear brother had fallen in love with little Susie Broke, Bucks daughter.

This was probably the best news i could bring home, besides that I just had harvested the first crops in the garden. As soon as I kissed Buck goodbye i rushed home to my Mother and Father. I walked up to the first floor where i found Mother in Derrek’s room. She had just putted him down for his noon sleep as i opened the door.

“Mother,” I whispered, and gave her a hug, ” do you have a second i wanna tell you something important.”
“Sure my dear,” she said and so we left the room as quietly as possible.
“Mother, you remember the friend, Buck i told you about right?”
“Of cause my dear, how can i forget him, our family has known his for generations now.”

“I love him Mother and he proposed to me, we are going to get married at the Gazebo Sunday in a month,” as i said it Mother didn’t seem to be happy, there was so a sad light in her eyes, “aren’t you happy for me Mother?”
“I’m happy for you my dear,” she said trying to smile, “as long as you are happy I’m happy to.”

About two weeks before the wedding Buck called me and asked me to come and meet his family. And surely I wanted that. Buck had already told me that he where living together with his brother and his family, and because of the friendly nature i have i couldn’t wait to finally meet them.

Buck was living in on a lot were there where 3 smaller houses and a big nice area in the middle. As i came walking up to the door i just was so nervous that my hand wouldn’t stop shaking when i tried to knock on the door. It was Buck who opened the door. And before i even got to say hello he grabbed me close and kissed me passionately.

“Buck,” I whispered still holding him close, “I saw your family through the window. Your brother does really have 4 nice looking children.”
He looked so shocked as I said that, that it made me afraid.
“Trigger and Susie aren’t Felix children, they are mine. That was what i wanted to tell you about today. I and Mary were very young when we got Trigger, we weren’t really ready at that time but i really love my children. Mary died when she gave birth to Susie.”

I needed a couple of days to think about the information from that night. But Buck was the love of my life and nothing should bring us apart. After some talking with both children i really felt accepted. Trigger and I was having great time talking to each other and he was really like his father.

Susie was a lot shyer and they all said she looked like her mother. But both children were great and i knew that Bucks and my own children would be that to. After some talking with Buck, Trigger and Susie we found out that the children wanted to stay by their onkel and aunt.

The Sunday came where Buck and i should marry and i was so nervous. We where holding it in the Gazebo one of the most romantic places in Riverview at that time. Both our families was invited but because we were holding it on a residential place some people from the town where there to.

“With these words my dear Roselia I want to make you my wife. You are the most beautiful flower I ever seen. In a garden with the worlds must lovely flowers you would be the only one my eye would catch. Please take this ring as a yes.”
“With these words my dear Buck I want to make you my husband. You are the love of my life. I have never met someone who could make me happier than you do now. Please take this ring as a yes.”

After the rings where exchanged the party started. All were just dancing and talking. It was really good to see how everybody had a good time. I’ll say that this day was the best day in my life. When the guest started to head home Buck took my hand and whispered to me that he had a surprise for me so we headed home.

Back home he really got me surprised. The last piece of the way he hold his hands before my eyes and I really was shocked when he took them down. While we where at the wedding he had used all his spare money to hire some workers to build a little hood for us.

I cant say anything other than I was over happy. And we spend over wedding night together in our new house totally in love.
