The Roberts Family- Week 1

Settling In




Weekly Update Written by: Gainell Roberts





We had just arrived at our assigned house when it decided to start raining. It was a lovely Monday morning. I was holding my youngest, Tara. I was really hoping to have at least three of my children graduate from university before I pass away. As one of the new rules that was posted on the front door said that females were to be heirs and the spouse will take her name, I began to wonder which three of my daughters would get to continue living here and who my son would marry. I am hoping he would marry another heiress, but I'll let him fall in love with who he falls in love with.





I went inside along with my mother and my second youngest daughter and began to teach Tara to walk. I was also the one who taught her how to speak. One of my teenage twins taught potty trained her. Tara is just so cute. Part of me doesn't want to see her grow up. I want to forever have a baby in the house.





My twin teens, Brooke and Hunter, stayed outside and had a pillow fight. Those two have been close since they day they were old enough to play together. Some people have accused them of being boyfriend and girlfriend before they realize that they are twins. I think they do this because they are fraternal twins and don't have much in common looks wise. What surpised me is that Brooke is more interested in learning new things and Hunter is into sports. Brooke wants to be a Captain Hero when she grows up and Hunter wants to be a Hall of Famer.





I got a job in the military career to bring in money for the family as per my agreement with my mother before we moved into this neighborhood. I started off as a recruit and began to work my up to general. I didn't get very far this week. I only got promoted once before week's end.





Hunter brought home one of the local teens home. She said her name was Meadow Thayer. I knew Hunter liked her a fair amount from what he was saying about her over the last few days. I was curious to see how she would deal with kids. I had heard rumors from other fathers at work that she was a romancer. When I saw her playing with Tara, I knew that if she did settle down and have kids, she would be a good mother.





Tara had her birthday today. She is still as beautiful as she was as a toddler and reminded me of her mother. I was very proud that she decided to wear a dress as a child. Brooke was more of a tomboy as she wanted to play with Hunter as a kid.





I sat down with my three girls over lunch and talked about who would be heiress. We decided that the oldest girl should be heiress. Brooke was fine with staying here in the house when she grew up and continuing the family home. Leah and Tara were fine with it as they believed that Brooke would make a fine heiress.





Brooke began to start keeping an eye out for people she might marry as an adult. She was 15 and knew she would have to step up as heiress upon becoming an adult. As only females could take the house, she wanted to star having a family pretty quickly to make sure she had a female to carry on the family house. She was getting along pretty well with a man named Komei Tellerman. I also heard rumors from work that he, too, was a romancer. Well, my twins have always been close, I had a feeling they would choose similar spouses to marry. While it might not be Meadow and Komei, their spouses would be similar.





My mother and Leah were close and were enjoying the new neighborhood. Leah had started elementary school here and was making friends fast with the local kids. My mother had gotten into a few of the local clubs that catered to older folks and was making friends with all of the other grandparents and others in that age range.





After I had gotten a few promotions, we had enough money to upgrade some furniture. We got two better beds, a better toilet, and a mirror and workout machine for me. The workout machine was so I could get promoted easier and allow my family to watch television while I worked out.





Hunter accidently caught the stove on fire. He took charge of the situation and put the fire out. I knew then that Hunter would make a good father and be a great Hall of Famer. Hall of Famers need to be good leaders who aren't afraid of taking charge and dealing with a problem that might arise. Hunter puttng out the fire without my mother or I telling him to do so, showed that he will make a great leader when he grows up.





Hunter started to flirt with Meadow a few days after the fire incident in the kitchen. Meadow was open to his flirtings and they soon had fallen in love with each other. Those two make a cute couple and I hope the two will remain boyfriend and girlfriend.





Hunter soon got his first kiss off of Meadow as well, as Sunday wound down to a close. Well, that is all that happened this week. I hope next week is just as fruitful as this week was.
