Yes, I am pregnant again, but this time I have a good feeling about it. Just wait and see.

Now that James is a teenager things have been getting easier, he has been at school or with friends and Howard has been at work, so I am left with Sylus. I can say confidently I love him, but sometimes he stares at me with a glint in his eyes that makes me gently shiver. I ignore it though. I really must not upset Howard anymore that he has already been. James is such a handsome young boy. He looks a lot like me, although I fear our personalities differ greatly. A few weeks ago I asked him why he wore black clothing and dyed his hair almost white. He told me that he “wants to look like the boy off Silent Witness, you know, the one who murdered all those students.” Howard and I shared a look but said nothing on the matter.

Fortunately, I do not think anything will come of him, after all, as much as I love him, James is and always will be…

… a coward.

James was not the only person to have a birthday. Sylus grew up into a georgous little boy. He looks nothing like me. I asked Howard who he looked like on his side of the family, and he told me his father had black hair and eyes. I changed the subject then, feeling the tension on the matter.

Sylus is a strange little boy, he seems to be infatuated with his doll house, but I am not sure ripping off the heads is a good thing or not.

One thing I have noticed, is that James loves Sylus very much. He is always staring at him lovingly and holding him in his arms, just like a brother should.

I have taught Sylus to speak, and I’m very happy with his acheivments, he can now talk to me normally, and my counsellor is very happy with my progress with Sylus. That’s the other thing I forgot to mention. I now have a councellor who I meet with once a week for an hour. She is a lovely lady called Julia Swips and without her, I don’t think I would have managed, in fact, I don’t think I would be here writing this…

One night, just as I finished teaching Sylus to stand up on his little feet and see the world from higher up, I called Howard outside, realising I was ready.

We exchanged our vows in whispers, feeling it was only right, and placed the rings on our fingers in silence.

We finally kissed under the moon light and hand in hand, walked to our room.

The excitement must have got to me because that night I went into labour. Wasting no time I nudged a snoring Howard and we left for the hospital, my night bag in his hand.

I cried for almost a day at the hospital and at home with my three beautiful baby girls in my arms. I did not think it possible, but I prayed my thanks to God for hours before reluctantly closing my eyes and drifting to sleep.

I said nothing on the way back home, my world was too perfect to have words spoil the moment, but looking at Howard I saw the frown on his face. I was annoyed but chose to ignore him, I wanted a big family, and I’m sure he will soften as the girls become older.

What I had NOT known, was that whilst Howard was coming to and fro from the hospital, he was building a beautiful nursery for the girls. Later he informed me he was not worried about having to raise 5 children, but whether I would be pleased. I shoved him gently but then kissed him hard on the lips. I thought that answer would suffice.

Here is a picture I have taken whilst the girls are laying in their cots. Adelaide (A-Du-Laid) is to the left, she has the fairest skin. In the middle is Aurora (Or-ror-ra) after the beautiful Aurora Borealis, she is the darkest, and then to the right is Kaiya (K-Eye-Yu)

As always, babysitters seem to be a constant, but loved part of the family, and our current one is Ariel Stark, who James seems to have taken a particularinterest to.
James is different with the girls compared to how he was with Sylus, whether it is because Sylus is a boy I do not know, but he is tender, gentle and protective over them, especially Adelaide.

I have gone for a new look recently, according to magazine’s, it’s all about the curls now. I have a new french-like outfit and as ever, my white “lunnettes” are placed firmly over my eyes.

A few nights ago I earned the feeling of pride. Just as I was about to walk through to my bedroom I heard giggles emerging from inside. Bending down I peered through the keyhole and saw the moment James had his first kiss. I smiled secretly to myself and slowly backed away then excitedly ran down the stairs to tell Howard.

My beautiful babies have grown up, and still I cannot believe I haven’t written for so long. This is Adelaide, she has a mix of mine and Howard’s hair and eyes.

This is Aurora, she is a black haired beauty, with the features of her grandfather- Leighton Sekemoto.

And last but not least, Kaiya. She, too, has the features of her grandfather.

I have been looking through the photos Howard has been taking recently and I think this one really shows the resemblance between Adelaide and I. Howard said so to, and I envy him for having stronger genes.
After brushing my teeth and washing my mouth, my first thought was ‘here we go again…’
