Chesterstead w 8: Dawes
Narrated by David Dawes
I am finally a proper adult.
Sadly this means my dear parents are getting old, but mother continues to exercise as if she's still 20!
Maybe it was seeing my parents so happy after all these years, but suddenly getting married to Jelly seemed only natural!
It was a wonderful day and we were so happy. I wished my siblings could've been there, but to be honest it's been a long time since I last saw Joseph, and Sarah is busy with her new life.
We got another kitty, Athena! We hoped she and Adonis would get along.
One morning we found Athena with a little kitten! Mother took a liking to the little boy at once. He's named Artemis.
Turns out not only the cats were expecting; so are me and Jelly!
Mia Svedala and dad works together. She comes visiting some times, which I really like. She's very kind and the cats love her.
Joseph did come by one evening. I do love my big brother but I am not a fan of what he's doing to our parents. Especially mum wants to hear from him a lot more than she does. He just seems to avoid them somehow, and mother is reaching out. Joseph is pushing them with questions about their life before Chesterstead, but we all know not to ask. And yet he can't seem to stop pestering them. At least he isn't keeping her away from her grandchildren, even if he isn't encouraging them either.
But one evening it was suddenly time for me to become a father!
He's such a sweet little boy, and Jelly is such an amazing mother.
Jelly decorated the nursery. It's Sarah's old room.
Our little Moses. He's so tiny!
Someone's been knocking over our trash-can, and of course mum and dad got sick from trying to get rid of them!
Artemis grew into a fantastic mix of his parents!
Mother went and bought yet another kitten.
Suddenly, so many years had run by and it was now Moses' birthday! Had it really been that long ago he was just a new born baby, so tiny and helpless?
Daddy loves being with Moses and teaching him all the important skills, just like he did with me and Sarah.
I really love my life. I have two parents who are still happily married.
A son who is loved by a huge family.
A wonderful wife and another baby on the way!
And even if I still burn my breakfast, I do feel that my life is quite good.
Notes
Ok, so everybody were present when Moses was born (even the cats). It was crazy!
- I am growing more and more fond of this family. Joseph is still my favourite Dawes, but with Adam and Eve walking around being so crazy and in love, this place is turning into quite the fun household to play. And I can't wait for the next baby, or to see how Moses turn out!
