Generation One: Chapter 11- Heavy Burdens

Chapter 11 - Heavy Burdens

I was with Fred and the horses when I realized that everything was not as it should be. 

Generation One: Chapter 10 - Crash Landing

Chapter Ten - Crash Landing

“Tell me again why you have to teach our son to ride one of your horses?” My wife asked as I rubbed the bulge that was our third child.

Generation One: Chapter 9 - Little Feet

Chapter Nine - Little Feet

Henry is in love. He’s head over heels for his little sister Ellen.

 I cannot fault him, for my daughter has the whole household wrapped around her finger, me included.

He spends much of his time with her, playing games and telling her stories. It does me good to see them this way. I was never that way with Caroline. Alexandra, yes, but she never was close to us. She was cold, even as a child.

Generation One: Chapter 8 - Unexpected Enemy

“Papa! Papa!” cried a little voice as I came in the door from a long day at work. There was my precious son, Henry, toddling unsteadily towards me. Charlotte stood behind him in the entrance hall, smiling as my son tottered into my outstretched arms. 

Generation One: Chapter 7 - Joyful Bundles

Chapter Seven - Joyful Bundles 

The last six months have flown by. The time for my newest nephews or nieces to arrive rapidly approaches.  Both of my sisters are far gone with child, and Caroline is more than ready to welcome her firstborn. While I truly believe she is pleased to be a mother, pregnancy has not been kind to her.  Her early illness, and as she progressed her back ached fiercely. There is little that could be done for her, and it has exasperated her temper.

Generation One: Chapter 6 - Wedded Bliss

Chapter 6 - Wedded Bliss

 

Introducing my dear Charlotte to my family is a true joy, for the most part. Both of my brothers-in-law like her and have heartily welcomed her into the family. My sisters, as is common, had differing reactions. Alexandra liked her immediately, telling me later that she was glad I would have the same happiness she did. Caroline was in true form, and icy towards my fiancée from the outset. This upset me initially, but Charlotte was quick to reassure me that she understood and was not troubled.  How in the world had I been blessed with such a woman!Perhaps some of Caroline’s rudeness stems from recent sickness. She has been unable to keep anything down of late and often cannot abide by the food served at meals and is not eating with us. I worry about her even after the pain she has caused me before. I will always love my sister.
